...imagine that--they *talk* now! A "serious" answer--The Call of the Wild, wildly(sic) underrated by the critics...

It is funny and charming but had a lot of depth.

It is about a boy in Nazi Germany who is so obsessed with Hitler that he has him as an invisible friend.

The concept sounds a little strange but it works. One of my favorite films in years.

That drama was released in 2015, so it's not very recent.

"The Social Dilemma" was interesting. It's about the psychological effects of social media like Facebook, with employees describing the techniques employed.
