There have been lots of good movies, but there have been very very very many crappy movies as well. I would hardly call movies such as XXX, Scary Movie, Brotha Man, Jackass to name a few as being good movies. Admitedly XXX is worth seeing and is a decent action flik, but I wouldn't call it a good movie. Part of the problem with bad movies is that movies are coming out faster and faster these days, less time is being spent to make them quality since the companies want volume to keep ticket sales high at theaters.
Movies such as the Count of Montecristo, Minority Report, Signs to name a few are pretty good.
Of course everybody has a different opinion of what a good movie is. Personally, I like a movie that I can watch time and time again and it's still a good movie. Movies like that tend to have a good story line, a timeless musical score, and good cinematography without excessive reliance upon special effects. Using special effects extensively is fine as long as they're not relied upon as the only worthwhile portion of the movie.
I know plenty of people who think movies are just getting better and better. I disagree with them, but my opinion of a good movie varies significantly from theirs.
