Not all American movies but most:
Have you watch Pig (2021)? It wasn't even nominated to the Oscars. Also IMHO Tar (2022) is an excellent movie. J'Accuse (An Office and a Spy...) (2019), The Father (2020), Also liked The Northman (2022). IMHO The House of Gucci (2021) is the best acting of Adam Driver that made me forget he acted in Star Wars.
Sorry but I need to continue with Boiling Point (2021), Dune (2021), Riders of Justice (2020), The Mauritanian (2021).
Recently:
- Everything Everywhere All at Once - The Black Phone - The Northman - House of Gucci - Knives Out - Little Women - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - The Shape of Water
The blockbusters are such a huge part of the cultural landscape so that it’s easy to miss all the other film out there. But there’s really a lot of it!
> [C]ompanies like Rolex spend a lot of money on enforcement to get rid of counterfeits because counterfeits remove the willingness for people to play to pay the high price for an original.
An interesting scene from the movie House of Gucci (2021)[1] is when Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), the wife of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) discovers the fake bags you can buy on the street and tells Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino) who is then the family brand leader.
The point Aldo makes is: The distribution of fakes strengthens the brand, because it gives normal people a belief that they can own a Gucci bag. They know their bag is fake, their peers may or may not know, but they still advertise for the real bag and the belief that if you're affluent, you want a Gucci bag. The brand would be worth very little if only the people who could afford it cared to speak of it.

He has two movies end 2021: The Last Duel and House of Gucci. Kudos to him for having such energy for his age.
