Six-String Samurai - In the radiated wasteland that is America, a new king is needed in Las Vegas to fight off the mutant hordes and remnants of the Russian army (with a great soundtrack by the Red Elviseses).
Haiku Tunnel - Essentially what if you took the character of George Castanza and put him in Office Space while making him even more neurotic and an even bigger loser.
Also
Sasquatch Gang - essentially the followup to Napoleon Dynamite. If you enjoy awkward humor and nerds this is for you.
Moon - one of the best Scifi movies this century starring almost exclusively Sam Rockwell
Dark City - covered up by the flashier Matrix, this is essentially a similarly themed movie but with a deeper intellectual bent. Both the original Matrix and Dark City are in my personal top 25 movies.
Deterrence - low budget political thriller set in a one room set with a great cast. Essentially the president gets snowed in a bar in the middle of America when a high level nuclear confrontation occurs. Think of it as one of the best Twilight Zone episodes ever.
Albino Alligator - Pedophile Gay-Rapist Kevin Spacey's directorial debut is a surprisingly great crime drama.
Klaus - A poorly advertised brand new animated film by Netflix, is probably my favorite animated movie of the last ten years not named Moana. It tells the "true story" of Santa Claus and while that sounds like a terrible clichéd saccharine movie that would be unwatchable, it actually tells the story of a self-absorbed post man who learns the power of generosity and true love who teams with a lonely woodsman who only wanted to have lots of children while his wife was still living. It is both sad and powerful all at the same time while still managing to be funny and uplifting. It may be the movie I was least looking forward to that has become a favorite.
The Witch - part very accurate historical film about early American colonialism and part horror film. It's great, I don't want to provide any other spoilers other than to say the dedication to historical accuracy is great.
Happy Death Day - a perfect blend of the stuck in a time loop plus humor of Groundhog Day mixed with a cheesy slasher movie. It's fantastic!
Equilibrium - a great sci-fi movie that originated the "gun-fu" you see in almost every major Hollywood movie now. And the combo of Christian Bale and Sean Bean in a futuristic action flick cannot be beat.
