LOVE Casa De Papel, personally. Highly recommended if you like heist movies and appreciate absurdly melodramatic plots.

Also not a movie but in the vein of good non-Japanese animation, Scavenger's Reign is really good. Really imaginative "stranded on a hostile planet" series. Just came out on Netflix I think.
I'll also add a +1 for Poor Things. Don't read up on it before you watch. Absolutely one of the most unhinged movies I've seen, but extremely good. Emma Stone fully earned her oscar for that one.

I think I've got a fever...
Anything by Lanthimos really, but Poor Things is the most fun (so far). I’d say start there for sure.

Since you lost 2 years in coma, it would be no time to look backwards.
I recommend some current release. 'Current' like 2024.
You also would want some high-tech gadgetry to catch up with current tech.
How about a flick that is 3-fer: Action+Comedy+Thriller... if you don't include Alfie?
Do something different and pick a loser movie: One that did not get rave reviews or one that cost $200Million but only grossed ~$100M.

Some clever movie w/a plot that centers around an author, who - unwillingly - gets sucked into the world of spycraft (Brit-style; a la Kingsman) after realizing that the almost finished Book#5 is mirroring real-world events that are taking place.
Best to watch with your better half as it will be enjoyable for both sides.

That last James Bond movie was so bad I'd rather have been in a coma too. Definitely put me off movies for quite a while.

After two years of coma, whatever you do, do not check the News out.
Or a loud sigh of WTF would be the last words out of your mouth before you close your eyes again!

I said don't checkout the current affairs, the news . . . .

Agree to that I love his movies. Dogtooth was brilliant.
The reason I asked is that I have probably not found more than a dozen or so movies made this century worth watching and even then few have been particularly memorable. I fear limiting your search to the last two years will not turn up much of anything worthwhile. That said, I do have a bit of a thing for plotless and pretentious arthouse fayre, preferably in a language I don't understand and the more catatonically slow the better. So maybe our tastes don't quite coincide ... ;-)
