> Then I started to notice a pattern among the few movies I totally enjoyed: when I looked them up on Wikipedia, every single article stated that the film had received acclaim from critics.

That's a neat idea of how to find movies on Wikipedia, but for me critical acclaim has not been very correlated with quality ("best movies"). In the last 10 years the correlation has been markedly negative. Maybe it's just me.

I personally think cinema is dying, so even if critics like it those signals are broken after a certain timeslice.

I’ve personally just dug into the decades and the budget lines I like best and have revisited the old stuff. I read more about the old stuff. Movies have entered the same sphere as music.. for me.. I can no longer relate, even when new auteurs claim to value the same old auteurs I hold in high esteem.
