Unsane - decent stalker/is she mad? type offering
A Quiet Place - it's more scary than sci-fi
Game night - funnier than expected |  |

The Greatest Showman.
I think that's the only film that exists now. Other than the World Cup, it's on non-stop in our house. And then we we leave the house, the soundtrack comes on in the car.
I enjoyed the film, but after the 10,000th showing it starts to wane slightly. |  |

Three Billboards
Wind River
Hell Or High Water
Also watched Ladybird out of curiosity as not usually my type of film but was also excellent. [Post edited 5 Jul 2018 9:58]

Deep/Moody/Dark films:
Manchester-by-the-Sea
3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Both about parental grief and guilt. Both with superb performances by the leads. Both won Oscars galore, deservedly.
Fences
An adaptation of a play (and it shows a bit) with Denzel Washington taking the lead as a father who is incapable of bonding with his son. But made by the ensemble cast. Good and different.
The Girl on the Train
Disorienting journey into the mind of an addicted and confused woman who witnessed something but isn't sure what. My favourite female performance of the last couple of years. Kind of a thriller, but really a brilliant character piece.
Not quite so dark but with light and shade and depth
Wind River and Hell and High Water are both "manhunt" films which are really contemporary takes on classic Westerns. Read up on them. Wind River has just gone onto Netflix.
Arrival
80% Close Encounters 20% Inception. Zero schmaltz.
Possibly the best film of the past year is a Pixar animation:
Coco
It contains good stuff on death, mourning, grieving, and regret and a particularly strong 15 minutes on memory and dementia. Honestly. Absolutely brilliant. The first 20 minutes of Up and the last 15 minutes of Coco are amongst the very highest points of artistry of the last 20 years.
Fun films
Logan Lucky
Baby Driver
Heist films which are both good with stylistic quirks and fun.
2 good fun sports films:
I, Tonya
The one about Tonya Harding the ice Skater. Brilliant performance by Allison Janney as her batsh1t crazy mum.
Battle of the Sexes
The frothiest film in the list. Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs. Good fun.
Most underrated
Free Fire
An arms deal between Irish terrorists and slightly out of their level arms dealers goes very wrong indeed. A 21st century Revengers Tragedy.
Dunkirk and Darkest Hour are both brilliant but already mentioned and very good. If you like War films Hacksaw Ridge is also very good.
All the Money in the World is remarkable for the performance by Christopher Plummer who stepped in at the last minute and re-shot all of Kevin Spacey's scenes following accusations against him.
The Shape of Water is probably ruled out by your dislike of Sci-Fi/fantasy but is a stylistically "Noir" film beautifully shot and told. Probably only for people who like the idea of an "unconventional beauty" having underwater sex with the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Similarly Marvel have churned out many very good films in recent years, my favourite is Thor: Ragnarok.
If you like Amelie then The Young and Prodigious T S Spivet is a beautiful piece of whimsy.
If you like New Zealand bush adventures of wannabe 13 year old gangsters then The Hunt for the Wilderpeople probably has the smallest budget of all the films in the list but is an absolutely compelling character study. And has the funniest cringey funeral ever.
I've probably missed loads...
Oh yes:
Lion amazing true life "Adopted Indian student uses Google Earth to track down his birth family". Heart-wrenching.
Eddie the Eagle
Loads of fun. [Post edited 5 Jul 2018 10:35]

I'm in the same boat. My 6 year old loves it, I saw it at the cinema and enjoyed it but it has been on 50 times since.
Also the wife's car doesn't have a CD player won't be CD lives in my car on a loop | |

I've edited loads more in!
I missed Ladybird, which is brilliant.
And I'd also add the slightly older "Boyhood" a stunning achievement shot on a relatively small budget over 12 years.
I may have missed Moonlight which is a very poignant portrayal of a neglected young man who searches for guidance and role models as he tried to navigate coming of age and coming out. | | | |

And for those of you who go to the cinema:
Ocean's 8 redefines five and a half out of ten. The Wikipedia entry for five and a half out of ten should just be a link to this film.
Jurassic World was so bad that I haven't even bothered going to see the latest one in spite of having an Odeon Limitless card and it being effectively free.
The Jumanji jungle remake thing was fun, though.
The King Kong remake wasn't all that.
The Planet of the Apes series is good, but probably falls foul of your fantasy/sci fi rule. | | | |

Arrival? That counts your opinion out.
My vote.... the Pusher Trilogy (Danish) |  | | |
