Recently I went on IMDB and created a list of highly fan rated movies from the past 2 years. So far they have been hard to watch.

IMDb has a ‘top 250’, not sure why you needed to create anything yourself.
it's the former, not the latter
To expand on that;
Y'all are seeing Survivors Bias / Rose Tinted Glasses in action
The bad movies of the less recent past are forgotten or lost to time, even the over hyped ones.
But we're living in the present, so the bad and over hyped of the recent past is still fresh in our minds, and that paints out perception of "they made better movies in the past"
There was the same or more bad shite, just everyone forgets about it

I've realised that over time, a lot of my favourite films or ones that I enjoy and basically mainstream blockbusters.
I try to broaden my horizons but quite often, I find these amazing acclaimed films boring.
It's not quite the same but I was amazed when I got the Criterion edition of Armageddon. All these bonus features about a great blockbuster film.
So imagine my disappointment when every other release from Criterion is a film I'll probably never watch in the first place.
Example, I took a chance on Brazil because I was in a bit of a Terry Gilliam phase. I quite enjoyed that one. Then I tried Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That DVD never got a second play.
This is me with most Tarantino films. I watched Pulp Fiction and have no idea what actually happened in that movie.
I find many of his movies enjoyable, but they definitely is a required taste. The last Tarantino movie I saw was the hateful 8 and I hated that movie so much, so I get where you're coming from. Haven't watched his movie about Hollywood because I cannot bring myself to care about Hollywood people making movies about life in Hollywood. The only Hollywood director who could get away with that was David Lynch, but he also had so much more to say and his Hollywood-focused films were so much deeper than the typical navel gazing bullshit in that specific niche genre. Under the Silver Lake is a movie I wish I could unsee. Ironically another film that people seem to love, but where I'm just over here like: okay Hollywood, don't gas yourself to death with all that farthuffing.
Time in Hollywood is good, but then if you did like hateful 8 maybe his movies just arent for you

This was me with "One Battle after another", it was not incomprehensible rather the opposite, it was very simple. Don't get me wrong I don't think the movie is bad or anything but for such hype created I was expecting it to be a bit more revolutionary. It also doesn't help that you need to watch DeCaprio shouting Viva la revolución
I really like Bugonia, Code 3 and Roofman from the recent movies I watched. Bugonia is a little confusing but it's still easy to get it's message. The other two are quite simple but the opposite of boring.
