Just to offer a counterpoint, if you're willing to dig past most studio releases—and even many so-called "indies" today, which are often just studio releases dressed up as indies—you can find that there are some offerings that rival anything from the supposed glory days of film/cinema. This is especially true outside the US.
For the last several years, after each film festival I attend I am reminded of the fact we are living in an ASTOUNDINGLY RICH era of cinema. There is so much talent creating so much good and great art around the world that it's virtually impossible to keep up with it all.
