I think the '90s had a bit more variety than the '10s and (for now) '20s. E.g. we seem to have lost good legal procedurals, thrillers, weird fiction, and "small scale" sci-fi.

Fo example, what are the'10s equivalents of "A Few Good Men", "Seven", "Dark City" and "The 13th Floor"?

There is _some_ stuff, but less than before, replaced by a massive amount of super hero movies or long-running franchises.

As a support clue, I invite you to consider the winners of the MTV Movie Awards, which are more "popular" than other Awards:

   92 Terminator 2: Judgment Day
   93 A Few Good Men
   94 Menace II Society
   95 Pulp Fiction
   96 Seven
   97 Scream
   98 Titanic
   99 There's Something About Mary
   00 The Matrix (bonus: not 90s)
compare with the 10s

   10 The Twilight Saga: New Moon
   11 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
   12 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1
   13 Marvel's The Avengers
   14 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
   15 The Fault In Our Stars
   16 Star Wars: The Force Awakens
   17 Beauty and the Beast
   18 Black Panther
   19 Avengers: Endgame

I have the feeling most "risky" movies, for lack of a better word, have moved to streaming services.
