If you think the stories in 90's movies are good, you need spend some time with classic era movies (pre-1970).

When you have to let the writing carry the story, the movie works much better.

I watched All the President's Men on a recent flight and even on an airplane seatback screen it had me rapt. No romance, no sex, no violence except a cop pointing a gun in the first 5 minutes, just a good story with two great leads.
