Yes, Suicide Squad is one I look forward to as well. I have not seen the Revenant but I'm sure we will. We get most movies rented or in digital format just to help save space and to avoid spending $50 in gas to go to the movie, lol.
Enjoyed 'The Station Agent'. There are two versions of 'Hail Caesar' I got out the 1994 version which is dire - half an hour of total non hilarity before I gave up ... oops
We watched 'Inside Out' (second time for me) today. Everybody seemed to enjoy talking all the way through ...

Mad keen on all Studio Ghibli films. A few that I don't think have been specifically mentioned in this thread:
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
The Wind Rises
Pom Poko
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away_
_Whisper of the Heart
From Up On Poppy Hill
Also the Studio Ghibli documentary Kingdom of Dreams and Madness , is worth a look, and was produced at the time that the first two films in the list were being made. For me, really good animated films are worth watching repeatedly just to study how their movements, effects and moods were created. True of some conventional films as well.
Several books by Dani Cavallaro - The Anime Art of Hayao Miyazaki, The Late Works of Hayao Miyazaki, _and _Hayao Miyazakis World Picture can somewhat enhance appreciation of the films as art.
I loved the Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, interspersed with impossible kung fu ...

A short list of my favourites in no particular order...
Inception - great mind bending thriller
Chinatown - classic Nicholson gumshoe flick
Spirited Away - the best of Studio Ghibli's many excellent films
Kung Fu Hustle - love the mix of music and Kung fu and mysticism
O Brother Where Art Thou - best of the Coen Brothers, and musical!
Shawshank Redemption - excellent prison drama
Looking forward to Miles Ahead, Don Cheadle's Miles Davis biopic.

Hail, Caesar!
Funny, a Hollywood movie-lover's dream, cute, a bit irreverent, and a keeper!
These three with Paul Dano are outstanding.
The Extra Man
The Good Heart
Little Miss Sunshine
