See that's the thing, you want an amusement ride that's fun, but movies can be more than that, if you can't have fun anymore, try watching something that's not trying to be fun, and maybe something clicks, I recently watched 12 Angry Men on a whim, it's about 12 jurors discussing on a virdict for a man accused of killing his father, this movie came out in 1957, it's black and white, I didn't think I could even sit through such a old movie let alone like it, but it was one of the most engaging movies I've ever seen and the plot felt so relevant to the current times.
Some other stuff I saw recently that I liked : Predator Killler of Killers
Sinners
Warfare
The Rule of Jenny Pen
Friendship
The Life of Chuck
If you want to watch some old movies that are genuinely special, look up the movies that Alfred Hitchcock made in the 40s and 50s, both color and B&W. I'm especially fond of the bunch he did at the end of the 50s - The Man Who Knew Too Much, North By Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, and my favorite movie of all time, Rear Window. A few other really interesting ones are Strangers On A Train, Lifeboat, Dial M for Murder, Notorious, Rebecca, etc.
Absolutely mind-blowing, they're so good. His stuff from the 30s and the 60s is okay, but his middle period was incredible.
I've seen vertigo and psycho, amazing movies, the others are on my list
Vertigo is often considered his best, but it's one of my least favorite among his best. Rear Window is my favorite movie, and I like The Man Who Knew Too Much, Lifeboat, and Stranger on a Train a lot, too. I've heard that someone is working on a remake of Strangers on a Train.
