I agree, it sounds like this person either 1) hasn't looked very hard and is relying on streaming services to feed him a selection of movies, or 2) has no interest or experience with "world" cinema.
Stuff like Aleksei German's Hard to be A God, Edward Yang's A Better Summer's Day, Maren Ade's Toni Erdman, or Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love, are recent movies that are incredible and very different from Hollywood style movies. They're long, not in English, and situate the viewer in a different cultural context that requires some effort for understanding, but the payoff is immense. They are movies you can get lost in.
Also Toni Erdman is the last comedy movie I watched where I truly came close to pissing myself from laughing so hard.
