What was the best movie you saw in the past two or three years?

BloodEagle

Under the Skin
Submarine
It Follows
The Revenant

Hated Kingsmen, not my kind of film at all

Neil

Hacksaw Ridge.

Brilliant film with the added interest of it being true.

I'd agree with @DarnWeight's suggestions, and add:

Raw
Green Room
Nina Forever
Housebound

..i would agree with all those and add 'Dont breathe'. 

@TheMarlin pretty sure most of those films you mentioned are way more than 3 yrs old.

True, but I've been unemployed since November, so only just got around to seeing them.  They're new to me.

Another vote for Kingsman here

Kingsman was good but not *that* good. 

If we assume anything from 2014 onwards, I'd go for:
Grand Budapest Hotel
The Martian
The Wind Rises 
Logan
and probably Wonder Woman, though I'm not certain on that as I only saw it 4 days ago.

I really don't get the love for Kingsman - I thought it was average at best, and I'm quite a fan of both Colin Firth and Michael Caine.

Carol by Todd Haynes. Low key film, beautifully composed and shot and excellent performances by Blanchett and Mara. Had a really moving final shot, kinda like an emotional counterpoint to the last shot of Brokeback Mountain.

If you've not seen 'Far From Heaven' it's a great film worth watching from the same director. 

Ooh, that looks good, I'll check it out. Todd Haynes is a modern Douglas Sirk.

Neither do I - it was watchable, fun for younger audience, but nowhere near ''movies I will remember''.

I also don't get the fascination for Guardians of The Galaxy - I really tried, I watched it and it's just not my cup of tea. Horses for courses though.

As for some good titles over last couple of years:

''Sully''
''Midnight Special''
''Swiss Army Man''
''Lobster''
''O.J. - Made in America''
''Cartel Land''

Kingsman was brash and over the top, it wasn't highbrow, but each time I've watched it I've been entertained by every second of it; there really aren't many films I can say that about.

That's exactly why I think about it .

Yes I've seen better looking films , films with better stories , direction , acting but I was really entertained by Kingsman (and likewise by "Kick Ass" a few years ago which is another Matthew Vaughan film).

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is similarly entertaining , neither are award worthy but they are both an enjoyable way to waste a couple of hours .

I like it too.  And I think it's interesting that Matthew Vaughn first came to prominence as a producer of Lock, Stock and Snatch but he's turned out to be a much more talented director and writer than the tediously one-dimensional Guy Ritchie.
