A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.) 
I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)
So what have you folks watched recently?

PBS movie (docudrama?) about Admiral Rickover and his life in the Navy. He is responsible for the first nuclear powered sub and first commercial nuclear power plant.
Edge of Tomorrow - Great! A good choice when you just want fun and not much else.
Mr. Brooks - A nice thriller that addresses addiction. A less flashy version of Fight Club.
Enemy - Addresses commitment, morality and questioning beliefs. Very exciting movie as you start to pick it apart.
Identity - A movie that will keep you thinking how it can be possible, and the ending will assure you that your obvious hunch is correct.

Thumbs down, so far.
Edit: 1 hour, 15 minutes in and still no Godzilla. Heard this movie was bad, didn't realize it was THIS BAD. Might have to go watch the Mathew Broderick Godzilla to try and wipe this crap from memory.

it's quite some time in before the stomping begins to happen.

The Lego Movie's first 15 minutes are more entertaining than the entirety of Big Hero 6.
Birdman. eh. This review sums it up well enough:
The thing about the talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit is that it's never clear where it's really aimed. Is Birdman an indictment of Hollywood for playing to the crowds? Because an indictment of lowest common denominator film-making seems odd coming in a movie stuffed with camera gimmicks, eye candy, dirty jokes and stunt casting.
And Emma Stone nominated for Best Actress? What?
Boyhood. Nearly 3 hours long. Within 20 minutes I was saying, "Please get better." It didn't get better.
The November Man. Pierce Brosnan kicking people's ass Liam Neeson style.
Interstellar. Needs more car chases or something.
Jug Face. Hillbillies frolic about the wilderness until it's their turn to be sacrificed to an evil in a pit, and then one gets the bright idea to say, "Hey, wait a minute, I don't want to be sacrificed to an evil in a pit." Not as good as Babadook but still a bit disturbing.
