The way I see it, when people complain about that, they're comparing the breezy 50s musical vs. the modern cheesy action movie. In my opinion, there have been such truly awful films made 30, 40, 50 years ago that have become obscure, and those same people remember the popular, much-loved films..which is what everyone compares to everything bad released today. Today however, just about any kind of film that interests someone is around, maybe not as easy to find, and that cheesy action movie or immature comedy doesn't represent what's really out there. It just represents what everyone knows about/goes to see.

What I said above applies here too. I think today there's a much wider range of style when it comes to film (often borrowing pieces of influence that came from before), and they've never been as individual as they used to be.
