Since no one else has mentioned it: Shin Godzilla. While I'm happy to watch some goofy movie about giant monsters punching each other as well, this movie brings Godzilla to his roots as an allegory for disasters. The movie was apparently influenced by the 2011 earthquake/tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident as well as the classic Hiroshima/Nagasaki reference that inspired the original Godzilla. To top it all off, it was directed by the creator of Evangelion.

Have you seen Godzilla Minus One? It was excellent. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
