Saw a lot of movies this year primarily via NetFlix. Not a firm placement but these were ones feel worth mentioning.
Wild Tales (Argentina, hilarious)
Force Majeure (Danish, philosophical on gender roles et more)
Mr. Turner (classical setting)

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (wish every teen film was done as well as this one)
Heaven and Earth (1993, Third part of Oliver Stone's trilogy on Vietnam War)
Whiplash (how driven are you)
Ex Machina (robots)
Meru (stunning visual documentary of mountain climbing with great backstory)
La Samourai (1967 French, classic crime noire)
Sunset Boulevard (1950, Hollywood egos)
A Most Violent Year (great atmosphere, crime drama)
Far From the Madding Crowd (1967, good love story)
Rebecca (1940, Spookie)
