For myself the amount of TV and movies I can watch is pretty limited compared to what I could obtain.
Lately I've been into the silents (Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino) but also Howard Hawkes movies not to mention things like

feel free to laugh but my son got the family (including my wife who teaches people to ride horses) to watch

... 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

in the theater. I was talking to my son the other day how we lost interest in Marvel and Star Wars movies... We never had a moment when we said "Marvel Sucks", but they rarely make it into the queue to watch on video. And going to the theater post-COVID seems implausible to me because I don't want to deal with disgusting popcorn mess.
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.
