Sinners, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Lord of the Rings trilogy (saw it in theaters last year, it counts). I also really enjoyed Megalopolis but understand it's not a perfect film, kinda gonzo.

If you like Cthulhu type stuff then Nic Cage starred in an adaptation of Lovecraft's "Colors out of space" that my wife and I both really enjoyed.

A lot of people missed the 2008 adaptation of Speedracer done by the Wachowski sisters (same people who did the Matrix) which is a real shame because it's one of the all time best movies in existence so obviously recommend that.

If you've never seen Iron Sky it's a fun smaller budget film. Velocipastor is too (really recommend this one drunk with friends though). Oh, and Yoga Hosers too. Those three are so dumb but fun.

And finally, a few movies I've not seen yet but everyone I trust with film opinions have raved about: Hundreds of Beavers, Asteroid City, The Shadow Strays

Iron Sky is way, way better than you'd think.

As some who grew up watching the original Speed Racer, I fully expected the movie to be awful. Despite all the cheesy graphics it actually works! It was a decent homage to it's origin.

If you are into classic Nic Cage "overacting", then this film is also very enjoyable. So many hilarious moments.
