Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here is brilliant - an intense and emotional crime thriller with Joaquin Phoenix doing a career-best turn as a disturbed man working the edges of the criminal underworld.
The Sisters Brothers is great, even if you don't like Westerns.
I intend to watch Whiplash, a drama about a music student's relationship ship with his tough tutor. It got very good reviews.
Mamma Mia is on there too, which I unreservedly recommend.
Funny Cow is supposed to be great, but think you may have seen that already iirc.
Really want to see the animated feature The Red Turtle, which is supposed to be fantastic.
There's some great older films on there too. Peterloo was a bit of a snooze fest, but Mike Leigh's High Hopes, about a hippy couple, one of whose senile mother is living next door to a horrible yuppie couple, is his best by far imo.
If... is one of my favourite films. If you haven't seen it, get right on it.
Election is brilliant - Reese Witherspoon trying to get elected as class president. Very funny and cutting.
Submarine is great - Welsh coming of age dramedy which skewers the shittiness of being a teen so well.
Loads more good films: My Name Is Joe, Carla's Song, The Player, Brazil, Rockers, The Harder They Come, Kill List, Tyrannosaur, Journeyman, Under The Skin, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, The Post, The Handmaiden, The Devil's Backbone.
There's also two music documentaries which you should check out:. If Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth A Fuck is about Stiff Records. Essential for Ian Dury fans. A Band Called Death is about, well, a band called Death. Doesn't matter if you've never heard of them.
For now, I am getting through S3 of Fear the Walking Dead.
