One director I could recommend, from the 70s and onward (I think he last movie could be from 2013 or so), his movies are drama-fantasy and all you can imagine, one of the most original directors I have seen:

Alejandro Jodorowsky

El Topo is one good exempel of his kind of movies.

He was suppose to direct Dune I think but something happens and then they call D Lynch.
Starring Jagger, Dali and Welles with music by Floyd and Giger designs - that could have been quite something. And the director's idea to make a 10-14h movie sounds about right to me.

The "greatest movie never made" documentary is pretty good: http://www.jodorowskysdune.com/

I'm not a big fan of science fiction, but sometimes I still want to watch for a change. And for me, these are the films that are worth watching:

Guardians of the Galaxy
District 9
Inception
Under the Skin

I second District 9.

I saw this movie a short time ago in the mediathek of the german public TV: Exit
I was very impressed by the story and the making. Sorry, german language only.

Sometimes you find movies in french as well, from Arte.FR. No english though. It's possible the data is protected against access from outside the EU or Germany.

Great to see a few movies that i have missed. This was surprisingly good, and fun, in my book much better than the late Star Wars movies:
And this one is my favourite russian low-budget, it is unbelievable that they have made something so good and original in 1986.
You can watch the full movie here, with subtitles:

Dunno if it’s been mentioned but Under The Skin is an excellent dark & disturbing sci-fi film to watch, the soundtrack throughout by Mica Levi is just as unsettling.

Brilliant film that can take repeated viewings.
