The Secret Agent

F1 for me.

Simple, wholesome, entertaining, great visuals and audio.

No Other Choice (dir. Park Chan-wook) and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (dir. Matt Johnson) - (both 4.5/5)

Park Chan-wook is the director of Oldboy and The Handmaiden and a bunch of other amazing movies so it's not really a surprise how good No Other Choice is. It is surprising how funny it is though. Still a bit of a grim premise but it manages to both be a lot of fun and so delicately crafted and full of intentionality.

And the names associated with NTBTSTM probably won't be quite as recognizable but you might recognize them as the people who made the Wii Shop Wednesday song (see below). Their previous movies (The Dirties and Operation Avalanche) are both thoroughly worth watching too, but this one is based on their longstanding webseries turned show, where they play a couple dumbasses who are trying to get their band booked at a local club. You don't need to know anything going in though. I overheard a lady in theatre talking about how much she liked Kurt Cobain before the film and spoiler (not really), this isn't about that Nirvana. She was laughing her head off through the whole thing though. It officially comes out in a couple months so if you get a chance to see it, watch this dang movie. 

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is in theaters now, btw. If it's actually playing near you, you gotta go see it. It's hilarious.

When it comes to Hollywood, the sorts of movies they release now, and have been releasing for at least the last fifteen years or so, none of it appeals to me. At some point, it felt like they went from character driven plots, movies with real story arcs and heart and soul, to plot driven, special-effects, big-dumb, hollow time-sinks. I swear, ever so often a trailer will sucker me in, and I'll think it's going to be this moving, epic thing like E.T., only to get in there and within ten minutes be rolling my eyes like Side Show Bob during an episode of MacGyver. Superman is the latest example. When that trailer hit, I thought we were getting a return to the Reeves style movies. But nope. Didn't care about Superman, Clark, Lois, his dog... and certainly not his sister, which, brief as she was, was absolutely abhorrent. I didn't care if the world was saved, I didn't care about anything. I just sat there and watched it and left. It was just awful. And that's how I basically feel when I dare to see anything coming out of Hollywood these days. Hollow.

I'm game for it.

To answer OP's question: The Phoenician Scheme 

Although familiar with his style, I haven't seen a Wes Anderson film in ages.  The last one I remember watching was Life Aquatic and then parts of Grand Budapest Hotel, so that shouldn't count.  Perhaps some people are getting tired of his tricks, but I was engrossed from start to finish.  All of the usual qualities are accounted for: performances, cinematography, etc.  But the thing that stuck with me is it being such a sincere examination of legacy.  Great, great film.
