Dune and Dune 2 were solid movies. Fell short of generational impact imo, but a lot of great points to both of them.
I'll add my recommendation of Godzilla Minus One.
John Wick Chapter 4 was a pretty good movie in my eyes. At least someone here hates it, but I thought it had a lot to give.
TV wise, The Terminal List was a really good action series. Not without its flaws of course.
House of the Dragon in season 1 was a fantastically crafted story. I would go so far as to say it's better than peak Game of Thrones in some aspects. Again, not without its flaws. If you want a thrill ride it's not going to deliver. The writing staff are feminist without a doubt, but not so ideological that they can't portray both perspectives fairly.
Season 2 had a lot of great stuff as well, but the pacing was horrible in the second half.
Another vote for Top Gun: Maverick.
The Sonic the Hedgehog movies (3 of them now) are actually pretty good in terms of inoffensive kid's action movies. Sonic's speed on the big screen is cool to watch. The third one with Shadow moved like molasses in the climax, but it was OK. The human couple is another racial propaganda effort with the whitest white guy paired with the blackest black girl you've ever seen, which is going to stop a lot of people here from watching, but their actual relationship is fine.
Sonic is one of those (largely) apolitical kid's franchises that were common in the 2000s and before. To me it's a breath of fresh air.
The Super Mario Bros movie was really good to even amazing, depending on how you rate Bowser's original song "Peaches."
