Joker and Parasite. 

[SasaS]

It's Drive, not Driver.

 

The Revenant and Drive(r).

[Bjornebye]

Yep apologies guys forgive me. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Only seen one - Joker. Fortunately, it's well worth a vote.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I do not get the love for Joker at all. A good central performance but a poor man's Taxi Driver and even You Were Never Really Here, another recent Phoenix film, which serves as a superior demo version imo.

Not even close to Joker in my opinion. 

[VladimirIlyich]

None. I've seen Drive and it was ok but nothing special. I tried to watch Parasite but got bored quickly and I havent seen the rest.

It is because it feels this coveted space between a serious, grown-up film and a superhero back story movie, which makes everyone happy.

 

If you hate superhero films, this way you can join in, same as with Logan or Deadpool films, up to a point Guardians, which is what you kind of want, because they seem to be devouring everything on the commercial multiplex scene and you have this niggling feeling you are missing out on some zeitgeisty thing or new mythology or repositioning of pop culture or whatever .

 

If you love superhero films, this is a serious superhero back story film which gives the entire (sub)genre gravitas and answers the need to be taken seriously, because you have that niggling feeling that what you enjoy is deep down (or not all that deep down)  just a childish, formulaic CGI tripe and this means there may be more to it after all.

And it really is an intriguing film.
