I don’t think it did change but I’m only around 30. I’ve always liked movies that make you think somewhat, have some major twist or are just plain funny.
Think stuff like The Prestige, Moon, Ex Machina, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Knives Out.

Oh yes, very much - and not just with movies, but TV, novels, stage performance and the like.
As a kid, it was just the overall visuals and spectacle as much as anything - details of the plot were secondary. Into my teens and early twenties and think that plot details came to dominate and after that exploring interesting concepts began to take priority. Then I guess that I began to appreciate the production side of things more: writing quality and cinematography etc maybe into my 30s and 40s. And these days (in my 50s) I am much more focused on character-driven things.
Apparently it evolved into me not liking movies anymore. I’m extremely picky about them nowdays and it must be really promising one for me to even give it a chance. Last such movie was Oppenheimer, didn’t like it.
Instead I now watch woodworking videos on YouTube.
Not much come to think about it. I’ve always gravitated towards scifi since I was kid, and it’s still my top genre decades later. What I noticed I came to like as I got older was noir and political thrillers.
