Don't get me wrong, the plethora of film available now is astonishing and nice, but you really have to dig for the gems, especially as it seems they are not advertised. It doesn't help if, like me, you browse TVTropes and watch "Honest Trailers", "How it Should have Ended" and "Everything Wrong With" on Youtube. You start to realize how truly bad and cliche the vast majority of movies are.
