Interested in any suggestions, though if you're interested in targetting me I've tried to outline my preferences below. You'll quickly realise that I do not have a memory for movie titles or actor names.
So I went a long time without watching movies or tv series'. I haven't had a tv tuned in for 6 years and rarely watch movies. I don't keep up with what has or is coming out and have no idea what I have missed for the last several years.
I currently need to increase my at-home exercise significantly and will be spending a lot of time on an exercise bike or rowing machine and want to line up some good things to watch while I do so.
I'm not a huge fan of super hero movies (x-men, superman spiderman, daredevil) but am a fan of other sci-fi themed movies.
One I liked but cannot recall the name of, would be the last movie I watched at a cinema, was about a guy whos uncle had managed to cross into another world and suspend his body in his nephews world while he lived in the other and eventually the nephew crosses to this world to meet/save his uncle (or something?) and ultimately takes his place in suspension to live in this alternate world.
If you can decipher a movie title out of that jargon you're a legend.
Some of my favourite movies of all time are Smoking Aces, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Miami Vice, Layer Cake, Lucky Number Slevin - basically movies with several stories that twist together in some fashion. No idea if anything along those lines has come out in recent years.
I kind of want to see some Morgan Freeman movies, as the webs obsession with him came at a time that I was not watching movies. Any movies in particular that utilise his 'voice of God'?
I tend not to like horror movies, Saw series, Hostel etc but over-the-top stuff like (that movie about the 2 friends that buy a cabin in the woods and all the college students accidentally kill themselves) and Tarantino stuff I enjoy.
Don't limit yourself by that though, take me out of my comfort zone a bit.

Here are a number of post-2009 movies I would recommend, in no particular order:
I watch a lot more older movies (from the 60s - 90s -- and especially from the 70s and 80s) than I do new, just because I prefer the look and feel of older movies, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I listed. I'm sure there are more that I'm missing. And that list doesn't include any documentaries, which I love. I wasn't sure if you were into documentaries. If so, I could probably name a few more.

All of those look fantastic. Thank for putting in the time to link all the IMDB's, very kind of you. Those sci-fi ones you listed sound really good!
I'm so-so on documentaries. Documentaries about really out there things I'll likely watch, not so much a David Attenborough fan.
