The Killers 1956
One of those prose to film adaptations that just works on all levels. Doesn't help that I already loved Hemmingway's short stories and Tarkovsky's films. Obsessively morose depictions of crime, death and the anxiety of damned souls, doesn't get better than that.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs 2018
The Coens' takes on the american stories of the west make for a strong contribution towards the claim that America's wild west stories form our equivalent of King Arthur and his knights of the round table's chivalric tales which have set the moral precedents of their respective contexts. Their attentive interpretations of common American stories make sense in an age of post mythos life: life in the decline of influence, after the stories (the vessels of these morals) have been broken apart at the seams by emerging conditions/social forces.
