Superhero movies pander to the largest audience possible.

The movies I mentioned were enjoyed by the masses despite being unique creative visions.

Parasite was the same way. But it's a very rare example nowadays.

None of Office Space, Clerks, or Magnolia were enjoyed by masses upon initial release. And some that got acclaim on your list have faded a lot since then (e.g. American Beauty).

You know what was enjoyed by masses from 1999 that you left out? Star Wars Episode 1.

Check back in twenty years to see what movies from the recent past hold up, and how many of them aren't from Marvel...

You’re definitely putting on rose—colored glasses for that era:
