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?

Only 6 episodes, half hour each but every episode is excellent. Several stories in each episode that have a link. Creepy, disturbing and really rattles you. Best horror I've seen in a while. On Netflix, go binge watch it.
8/10. Really good movie and the fact it's based on a true life story made it that much more suspenseful. Certain parts certainly dragged on and were a bit too long but great nonetheless.
3/5
the end ERBoH moment was hilarious though.

Terms and Conditions May Apply - Documentary about governments and corporations using your personal info and recording everything you say and do to keep a database on you and follow you wherever you go. Even creepier than It Follows.

wtf?? slave shootin gallery?? get farkin real
Black Sea - If you've seen one submarine movie, you've seen them all. Maybe, but it's still pretty good.
Avengers: Age of Ultron - Best movie of 2015.
Jupiter Ascending - From the people who brought you The Matrix? Needs more car chases or something.
Do androids dream of electric sheep? Watch to find out. Good stuff.
Mad Max: Fury Road - Needs more car chases or something.
Just kidding. The entire movie is a car chase. Though what it does need are characters I give a crap about.
Pound of Flesh - Jean-Claude Van Damme is a victim of the ol' "sleep with a hooker and wake up with one of your kidneys removed." Kind of a generic plot since who reading this hasn't had that happen at least once, amirite?
You can see the ending coming a mile away. Even so, it's still more interesting than Mad Max: Fury Road. And Van Damme does the splits while being dragged by a car. Maybe if Charlize Theron did the splits while being dragged by a car Mad Max would be slightly more interesting.
The Escape Artist (2013) - About a lawyer (a Junior Barrister in the UK) who is brilliant at getting people out of tight legal messes, even if they're clearly guilty. This finally comes back to haunt him in an unexpected way. Excellent cast and great acting by all involved, a couple of dumb moments on the plot, thus the half point deduction but still I thoroughly enjoyed it. 4.5/5
American Sniper - Good movie, but very, very hard to watch. Normally I'm ok with graphic, but certain scenes were tough. It was also tough knowing that certain plot points were made up for the sake of "movie continuity." Not a deal breaker, but it did take you out of it at times.

6/5 stars. That's right, six out of five stars. Mind bogglingly awesome.
