Recent good movies, just going in release order off my letterboxd, although I have to be careful to include only "Hollywood" here:

- 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple - beautifully shot and a beautiful theme about what humanity is

- One Battle After Another - it's PTA, all his movies are good

- Bugonia - incredible dark comedy

- Weapons - fun little horror comedy movie

- Sinners - just won an oscar for the soundtrack, not a perfect movie but a fun watch with some incredible scenes

- Companion

- Nosferatu - incredibly atmospheric

- The Surfer - total trip with good old Nicholas Cage

- Love Lies Bleeding - just a fun, a bit crazy movie

- Dream Scenario - another trippy Cage movie

- Poor Things

- Oppenheimer ...

- Renfield

- The Menu

- The Banshees of Insherin

- Barbarian (same director as Weapons)

- Prey

- Bullet Train - fun action movie

- The Northman

- The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

- Everything Everywhere All At Once

- The Invisible Man - most effective horror movie I've ever seen

- The Gentlemen

- Joker -how close can you get to looking like Taxi Driver without being Taxi Driver ...

- The Vast of Night - some scenes that really draw you in and pretty nostalgic

in 2019 now, so I won't continue, but there are plenty of good movies made nowadays, and I won't say I've seen even a close amount of them from the past few years. Of course I'm watching these at home, not in theatres, so that's certainly an argument.
