Plus there hasn’t been a real movie worth a damn made in close to 20 years.

Ok. I mentioned The Professor and the Madman in the post above. Try The Dig, a Netflix original. Or Tolkien. There's a longer list I've posted several times before. It includes The Death of Stalin; Dear Comrades!, Inside the Whirlwind, Ashes in the Snow, Mr. Jones, The Way Back (the escape from the gulag movie with Ed Harris, not the more recent flick of the same name), Leave No Trace, Columbus, The Florida Project, Little Women, Lady Bird, Support the Girls, Balloon (the iron curtain escape movie), Downfall, and Conspiracy. Those are just off the top of my head and reflect my own idiosyncratic interests. They are all fairly recent. They won't all be to your taste, but none of them are the kind of idiot leftist garbage to which you are suggesting. None of them have comic book superheroes in spandex tights, and if you're looking for sex scenes ... well, don't bother, because you won't find any. There are many more that others might suggest.

uh, that’s “idiot leftist garbage to which you are objecting.” Fingers go on autopilot sometimes.

THE DEATH OF STALIN is a hoot if you like dark humor and understand a bit of the history. 4 of us taught a 16 hour class on the movie with different facilitators talking about different characters. I organized it and taught history of CCCP to 1956 and Zhukov.
