better than today's because they could do (some) things, couldn't get away with today.
Or maybe some people think it's the other way around? I am not sure.
They should have included Parenthood on that list i think.

Someone missed the point of American Beauty. I also don't think the entire production of Blank Check would be shut down over a 5 second kiss that could be easily removed on its own.

Just because you want something to be true, that doesn't make it true.
All of those movies are exactly what is made today. The 90s is the only decade worse than the 70s because of the self righteousness and mob mentality of Generation Xenophobe culture, the same culture that demanded our choices for president be Trump vs. Hillary or Trump vs. Biden. That wasn't Generation Baby Boomer, it was Gen Xenophobe.
Movies that totally reflect the Xenophobic culture of the nineties:
1990 starts the trend of Xenophobia being acceptable, with exclusive clans and groups shown to be superior and privileged:
Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Desperate Hours
Godfather III
Goodfellas
Miller's Crossing
Night of the Living Dead
Robocop 2
Tremors
After which it takes of into top 10 grossing movies. Just out of top 10 grossing movies thereafter, the trend is staggering for Xenophobia:
1991, of the four I've seen, three:
Terminator 2
Hook
Silence of the Lambs
1992, I saw 4 films, and they didn't particularly cater to Xenophobia in a throwback year, but then we get to 1993
1993: of five I saw, three lauded Xenophobia
Jurassic Park catered to the family clan, enjoyable, but Xenophobic with throw away characters
The Fugitive, same style as Jurassic
Cliffhanger, but this was a year when Xenophobia was at least geared to innocent values of family. Still, it's preaching Xenophobia
1994: Of six I saw, three preach Xenophobia for the demands of Generation X:
Speed
Interview With the Vampire
A Clear and Present Danger
1995: Of four I saw, two were Xenophobia praising
Die Hard With a Vengeance
Goldeneye
1996: Of six I saw, only one, Nutty Professor, didn't preach Xenophia, but these five certainly did.
Independence Day
Mission Impossible
The Rock
Ransom
Jerry Maguire
1997: I saw six, but I can't remember anything about three of them, Air Force One, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Liar Liar, which are just movies with nothing memorable about them, good or bad, so of the three I recall well, Titanic and Full Monty weren't "exclusive club movies, but one was undeniably preaching Xenophobia, (Xenophobia is proven by "throw away characters")
Jurassic Park II Lost World
1998: Of six I recall seeing, only one, Dr. Doolittle, wasn't an exclusive membership movie. Another, Deep Impact, I don't remember much at all about. The others were clearly Xenophobic:
Armageddon
Saving Private Ryan (understandable in this case, because in war, men have to be trained to be Xenophobic or else be losers)
Godzilla
There's Something About Mary
1999 was a year of weird movies. Three of those top ten gross movies I saw and have no idea what was being presented, due to stupid effects and Xenophobia possessing the editing, filming, special effects, acting, and directing too much to know what was going on. Those three:
Mummy
Tarzan
Matrix
Of the others, I recall clearly three. Only one, Spy Who Shagged Me, avoided preaching Xenophobia, but the other two certainly did.
Phantom Menace
The World is Not Enough
The nineties were made for Generation Xenophobe, with hate mongering, God playing messages rampant in all of the above examples.
Culminating in the very superiority complex that made 18 hijackers happy to take out thousands of innocent lives. This hit Generation Xenophobe Americans below the belt, and for a while, the preaching eased off, but it was back within four years, with the God playing of Taken 2008 and Descent 2005 again satisfying the demon possessed humans of Generation Xenophobe.
Total brainwashing for the sheep who are too moronic to even know they're tools and fools, spreading hate wherever they go.
Yes, the nineties sucked in movies. Maybe even worse than the seventies as far as major grossing films go.

They could remake Weekend Ar Bernie's now
and have him be president and it wouldn't seem so far-fetched.

Yes. Prior to the pandemic they were cranking out more movies than ever but most are trash.

You are correct, movies from the 1990s are much better than this decade (and the last decade, for that matter).

For the most part, yes. Outside of the action/adventure and science fiction films, other viable genres could still do well at the box office such as romantic comedies and thrillers. Independent cinema was thriving and there was general studio interest in original spec scripts.

A good decade for film, not quite as interesting as the 80s but still some interesting movies.
