Prey for the Devil. A demonic possession themed jaunt but it had a decent story to underpin the scares. One of the better ones for me.
The Black Phone I also recommend- very Stephen King like.

YES!!!!!!!!! Stone cold classic!!!!!
Hilarious, the music is great and it’s surprisingly good.
Do you even get films like that anymore?
Light hearted, inoffensive humour with a feel good ending.
Maybe they pass me by now, but can’t think of anything like that nowadays, plans trains & automobiles, Mrs Doubtfire or even the home alone film(s) seem to have been confined to yesteryear.
Maybe it’s the absence of comedic actors

Most John Candy films are built around the premise that he's a fat loser with a big heart. While they are funny and were successful no one is commissioning that in 2024

I reckon that slightly more well meaning approach to film making passed with the world champ of making them, John Hughes. Was only 59 when he died in 2009. A golden run of international hits that grossed many millions and are mainstays of holiday viewing even now some 40 years on.Do you even get films like that anymore?

That race to the gutter (all the gross out stupid crud produced from around the turn of 2000 kind of set the tone at the movies) and as to your last point, Steve Martin had his sense of humour bypass, Candy and Belushi had died, Farley had gone early as well and was being primed for the next star for that era, Myers went off to Austin Powers, Ackroyd had a similar crisis of confidence to Martin. Maybe the audience taste changed and that's why that era of family comedies shines so brightly, even looking to a film like 'Tremors' which is a little gory and brutal is done in a much kinder brighter manner. 'Jaws' on land so to speak with a lot more laughs.
Not every ride at the theme park can be 100mph white knuckle spectacular.
For the last 20 years there has been a ton of big hearted loser films with many of them fat. Some more succesful that others. Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jack Black etc etc have all relied on that formula.
The modern 'family comedy' tends to be animated as the format has become much more sophisticated.
The majority of the offense seems to come from casting women in remakes (Ghostbusters) or anything that pokes fun at men being a bit silly sometimes (Barbie).

Times have changed, I think there is a lack of charisma in Hollywood today and less risk taking creatively which is why we get a lot of superhero films and sequels/remakes.
I don’t think cinemas will be around in ten or twenty years, there will be more of a push for day one digital releases to watch at home.
Video games are going the same in terms of creativity.
