To share a more obscure choice, I really enjoyed The Gift (2015). If you like psychological thrillers, then give it a shot. Do not watch the trailer, as it does its best to ruin the movie. The less you know going in, the better.

EDIT: Director is Joel Edgerton.

The Lego Movie (Phil Lord, Chris Miller, 2014)

As a lego fanatic I loved it, but I hated the [spoiler...] kid's explanation towards the end. You let your imagination guide you to create whatever you want sure, but that is also what his dad did! His dad even bought a ton of lego for him, which by the looks of it is about 5 times more than I had as a kid. He even said "you can build whatever you want". Instead he dismantles his dad's imagined world >:( He wants to build whatever he wants, his dad tells him he can build whatever he wants, but he doesn't allow his dad to build whatever his dad wants >:(
And now I'm pissed again, because god willing one day I will have a lego room/basement, and I will lose my shit if I come home one day and find a bunch of cowboys on my spaceships! Unless, that is, it's inspired by the Bravestarr universe :D

Collateral (Michael Mann, 2004)

DEATH TO SMOOCHY
Release Year: 2002
Director: Danny DeVito

Django Unchained (Quentin Tarantino, 2012)

Ya that one is great

Cidade de Deus (Fernando Meirelles, Kátia Lund, 2002)

Tomorrowland. 2015, Brad Bird. Science-fiction/Adventure.
This is my favourite movie so far because it is full of hope. It stands up against fate and defeatism, encourages to not accept how the world is at its current state and to do everything we can to change it.

No Country For Old Men. 2007 Coens.

INTO THE WILD
Release Year: 2007
Director: Sean Penn

ROAD TO PERDITION
Release Year: 2002
Director: Sam Mendes

Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson, 2012)

Moon (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/

Shutter Island (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/

Nightcrawler (2014)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872718

Maybe these, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow I would mention other movies.

Gran Torino (2008, Clint Eastwood)

For fuck's sake YES

The camera's doing genius work here. Some of the action scenes are shot documentary-style, in brilliantly long takes. It's so intense.

There's no action in the book, by the way. It's just boring. :)

I absolutely loved Moonrise Kingdom.

But IMHO Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel was even better.


A really great one, verily. That and Million Dollar Baby (2004) really prove that there's more complexity to Eastwood's stances than you see in GOP conventions. :| Those two movies, highly recommended.
