Everything Everywhere All At Once couldn’t be made 20 years ago for so many reasons. I don’t even know if it would be received as well at the time, but I think it will because the movie is that good.
Also, Marvel stuff. Things they can do now, both from technical technical perspective, but also they have the whole universe to build on, they don’t need to spend half of the movie explaining who is the guy in a red spandex is, and what was his relationship with his uncle, and immediately go to the main story. They also can experiment with formats, knowing that they don’t need to hedge bets catching the widest audience possible
Marvel movies are disqualified from this question, because OP asked about good movies, not disastrous barely watchable steaming piles of overwrought over hyped, over edited, crap with terrible sound mixing and too much CGI.
Specifically, Into the Spider-Verse stands out to me. The combination of story and animation would never get greenlit (a mixed-race Spider-Man? Multiverse theory? 2003 ain’t ready for that) and would be fantastically expensive if it did.

That’s, just, like, you know, your opinion, man.
