As the movies communities are either dead or seems to be enjoying down voting these kinda wuestions to hell and this question is well in the limits with this community .

Recommend movies that have a very good plot with no plotholes (this is very important for me as a movie watcher) , doesn't feel too dated ,has solid 3 dimensional character and arc , good direction and good acting ?

Some of mine are

Donnie darko
American psycho
Fight club
Seven
The prestige
Panic room
Zodiac
Taxi driver

So share your favourites and please no comedy,romance or jumpscare horrors. You can use my list to kinda get an idea of the specific type of movies i am asking for here . And also if you can give a short spoiler free TLDR and attach a trailer that would ve appreciated . Thanks in advance.

If you haven't already seen Aliens, I'd give it a shot too. In terms of aesthetic and plot, I'd say it's pretty solid 1980s/1990s sci-fi action. It's outside the timber period you specify, but it's a good time.

Aliens is one of my favourite movies. I've never seen such a well executed genre pivot: Alien goes down in history as an incredible horror movie, but Aliens is a completely different tone, much more actiony. It's great.

Is it self containing ?

Yes. It's a sequel to Alien, but it stands alone.

Part of the movie is the heroine trying to convince others that the events in Alien are real, so it might be better if you haven't seen it, since you'll get to enjoy the mystery for more of the movie.
