I'm sure there are good movies made today, even more sure there are good TV shows, but they have to fight for every minute of view time they get.
It's true that a film titled with Trajan shouldn't be retitled with Action Jackson (stereotypically 'classic' and 'hip, funny' fonts).

... and then there are all the Gundam anime since Gundam 79, all the rest of Sliders, at least 200+ hours of video "in the queue".
I think how a few years back I would go see a movie like
