I used to LOVE movies, almost all types, and went to a few indie film festivals. That was in the mid to late 90's through the early 2000's - maybe about 10 years. All the great indie flix, and Miramax movies. Maybe it was Miramax getting swallowed up by disney, who knows? Then I started watching HBO series like Sopranos, The Wire, Madmen, etc and really haven't enjoyed movies as much since.

There are a lot of British series on Netflix that I would never have seen which have been really good. At this point I'm out of series, and may have to start watching movies...it's so much work to find a good movie!
