One I watched years ago that I'm yet to encounter someone else mention These Final Hours. Follows a young man in Australia, as the last nine hours of humanity are being counted down. The asteroid has already hit, and the last people are just waiting for the encroaching wall of fire to sweep them out of existence.

It was much, much better than I expected. Really moving.

Nope might be a shade popular for what you're after, but I really enjoyed it. A solid horror flick oozing with atmosphere.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople wholesome, funny, quirky - and also I want to plug some NZ films.

Annihilation was pretty wild. I've heard it's polarising for some, so perhaps I'm just an easily pleased goon but I enjoyed the uneasy Sci-fi/horror edge.

Two Distant Strangers a short movie where a young black man is stuck in a time loop and continously encountering a racist, white cop.

The Rider I'm not one for westerns but this absolutely captivated me. Finding out the main characters aren't professional actors and are instead portraying fictionalised versions of themselves, was something else. That's not a spoiler, just what I found when I looked it up to see if they had been in any other movies.
