I don't think movies are worse now overall. I just think that nowadays there are more extremes in film quality.
Back in the day, movies seemed to have stronger quality control and since it was much harder and more costly to make a film, studios made sure the film is of at least decent quality, which resulted in much fewer very bad films. Even if you take really bad films, they are still competently made for the most part.
Shooting on film adds to the quality, too. Oftentimes all you had to do was just shoot the film and it already looked OK even if you done goofed on lighting or composition. The sheer quality of film blows poorly-handled digital out of the freakin' water. You need to put ten times the work into digital filmmaking to get the visual effect you want as opposed to shooting on film, paraphrasing Pedro Costa.
Nowadays, there are so many god-awful films that would have never got made back in the day. They just wouldn't be accepted then. Plenty of reasons for that. That being said, quite a lot of bad movies of yore, too, but even if they were bad, they always had some saving grace: cinematography, colors, entertainment value. Of course, older films also have that quaint atmosphere to them that you can feel only now after so many years. But on the other side you have recency bias, so...
