Is the breath of movies dropping?

    I happened to catch Good Morning Vietnam at the weekend , and it just made me wonder are there for the want of a better term unpredictable movies still being made as much as they seemed to be in the past? it might be an age thing where I think the music back in my day was better :pac: but looking at the 80's and 90's , there seem to be a lot more "quotable" movies and reasonable variety of genres , good cop movies, gangster movies, memorable movies like Silence of the Lambs , good cold war movies like The Hunt for Red October , excellent comedies like Planes Trains and Automobiles , Four weddings and a Funeral and quirky movies like Forrest Gump.
    Has cinema past a peak? because there are more alternatives and they are just left with cookie cutter blockbusters? or is the 2016 audience better served now then back then?

    Loads of good movies are still being made about a variety of subjects.

    Blockbusters are only one aspect of modern cinema.

    It's still as diverse as ever, maybe more so than ever - in my opinion.
