I feel like we need more movies that appeal to a span of generations that aren't also Marvel movies, Pixar movies, or absolutely sappy.

I feel like movies aren't being made for generic audiences anymore. We've gone too far on the direct to consumer stuff.

I know someone who works in animation and they write stories for such a narrow population - 4 to 6 year olds! I feel like it wasn't long ago most cartoons appealed to 3+.

Both the movies you list are dramedies which I often enjoy too, but I find it hard to sit in those emotional rollercoasters most of the time. It's feels like a bit of a workout for me (as is often the case with genres we aren't regularly watching).

I generally prefer thrillers. The more technical the better. We watched Videodrome (1983) last night and while I'm not a huge Cronenberg fan, it was at least interesting satire exploring "whats the worst that can happen" with graphic video content.

We're working our way through Criterion's technothriller collection right now and have plans to watch House (1977) which is not a thriller this weekend.
