I'm exactly like that, but the other way around. 90 % of the movies I watch I dont enjoy. Mayhap it's just not my medium. Makes the 10 % I did enjoy realy with it tough.

    Depression is one factor, but I also realized that what Hollywood thinks a "relatable" character is is very far from who I am as a person.

    Right?!? Another thing is that plot lines are reused a lot. Often movies feel so very shallow and to me.

    The most recent movie I likes a lot was "Everything Everywhere All at Once". That felt like something unique to me.

    Film is a medium that is truly coming to its technical maturity while also being at or near the absolute height of our artistic powers as a civilization. That's why it really sucks that at that same moment, studios are more risk-adverse and money driven than ever.

    I didn't want to be a film snob, but I feel like I have to go indie these days to see anything worth my time.

    Same thing with video games. I mainly play indie games and if you combined the budget and staff of all of them, it still wouldn't come close to the budget and staff of a AAA game. So much more creativity is allowed thought. A single vision rather then a design by committee.
