The Handmaiden; a Korean masterpiece. Beautiful, twisty, sophisticated.
Also, from recent viewings:
Dunkirk. Magnificent. I know it sounds odd but it hardly feels like a war film at times; it's so poetic. And the score is amazing; it adds a real layer of tension that underscores the whole thing. Wonderful visuals.
Three Billboards... Brilliantly written & acted. About as good as film gets, really.
Hacksaw Ridge: Amazing audio & worthy of all the plaudits rained upon it.
Beasts Of The Southern Wild: Quirky, left-field, brilliant.
We also re-watched Midnight Cowboy recently. I hadn't seen it for a decade or more & what a great film that is. Plus, the way that "Everybody's Talkin' " gets used is amazing; it reminded me of the way that The Sound Of Silence gets used in The Graduate, and to equally wonderful effect. Plus the acting is absolutely top drawer. Magic.
