Good for you. Watching movies is like watching a colorized version of life instead of living it. However for some of us, that's all there is.I don't watch many new films because most of them seem to be rehashes of old tropes. I'd rather read about history or geology. I do like watching films that deal with/are set in a specific era and portray it well. I'm usually out wheelying/snowmobiling, if not posting on here listening to tunes.
Movies, plays, books are always rehashing old plots with different settings. For example, Star Trek was just a different version of the Wagon Train TV series. The Enterprise was the wagon train. Capt Kirk was the wagon master. The aliens were usually the Indians and outlaws. The crew of Enterprise were the settlers. The voyages of the Enterprise were wagon train trips to the west.
And stories of each series were morality tales were general good triumphs over evil.
There are only 7 basic plots as explained in this link.
