I too sometimes pee in my own face.
You have my sympathies my brother in Crisp
People have been making original movies for over a century, many of which have profoundly stood the test of time. I'll watch any of those before I will watch a modern remake or sequel.
To the answer the question I just now watched Things Change on my friend's Plex server. Four stars.

I have a bad movie night with family every week, and these were the recent ones. We watched via streaming services.
The last Marvel movie I watched was the end game one. Haven't bothered with another Marvel TV series or movie since. The last star wars movie I watched was the one where Luke projects his appearance and the bad guys shoot it a lot without doing anything. I haven't bothered with any of the other tv series or movies for star wars either.
I'm not the usual customer though. The last movies I saw in theaters was wicked and inside out 2.

The substance last week in a rocking indie theatre. Lots of.collective "ohhhhhhhhhhhh."
Went to the kinoplex to watch Megalopolis, I didn't think it was that bad, the acting was just more like a regular theater than movie acting.
Hmm, either Oppenheimer or Poor Things I think. I support new IPs in Hollywood in concept, but a lot of them just don’t interest me is the problem. Looking forward to Nosferatu this month tho!
Heretic. In theaters, I think opening weekend.
It was, BTW, absolutely fantastic. They absolutely nailed Mormon doctrine and dogma, as well as the practices of missionaries. I highly recommend it.
Finally got around to to watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. I liked it a lot. Rented it on Amazon Video.
Before that, I watch 'The 5th Wave' which I think falls under the context of OPs question. Rented on Amazon Video. Garbage movie. Saw it because I saw a single clip of the movie that looked good. It was the only part of the movie that was good.
And before that one, I watched 'Smile'. Dumb, lazy, predictable writing. Rented on Amazon Video.
Before that, I watched 'The Edge of Sleep'. Very good series. Also Amazon Video.
Finally, 'The Menu', also Amazon Video. I liked it.
I saw all that for probably the cost of a single movie theater ticket. A matinee ticket right now, for my local theater (ordered online) is $17.60. I think the rent price of each of those movies was maybe $4 and 'Edge of Sleep' is free.
5th wave started strong with a bit of promise, then quickly degenerated into a hot steaming turd.
I hardly watch movies anymore since I find the format limited compared to TV shows.
Last TV show - Slow Horses season 4
Last original movie in a movie theater was probably the Pokemon Movie.
Last movie in a movie theater was Dune part one. (Which for one was a hell of a good remake tbh)
I find the limit to be useful. It prevents random relationship drama and filler.
But I think both film and television series work great for different stories. Having television without a definitive end makes stories weirdly convoluted and meaningless as they try to change another season, just the same as the empty film sequel.

Slow Horses is so freaking good.
I've watched a few older original movies here and there on streaming at home, but I guess the last time I went to the theater for one was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I don't really go to the theater much in general anymore. Last time I went was for Dune 2 (mostly because I like the director more so than I'm interested in the franchise) and it was so loud I thought it was going to damage my eardrums.
That aside, if I'm gonna go see something, I want some reason that isn't just brand recognition. A director I like, some good reviews, maybe an interesting premise, etc.
Embrace of the Serpent at home on streaming. Simple and beautifully shot in black and white. It was what I wanted from a movie, a great story that was well told. It’s definitely original.
The last great movie I watched (TV) has been "Arrival". Enjoyed it a lot.
Oppenheimer was the latest original movie I watched for the 1st time. I watched it at home... 'nuff said
Snatch. With my eyes.
Upgrade was an original movie i saw that wasn't terrible. Although I'm sure the idea of a guy putting an AI in his head plot has been done before.
I think it was The Whale, in theaters with my sister
Civil War in the theater, at home, I just recently watched They Live, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Wizards, and X at home. I have a biweekly movie night group and we were the only ones in the theater for Beau is Afraid.
Watched A Real Pain in the theater with maybe 5 other people.
Heretic in theatre. Was pretty good
wtf have they done to the book
