Not last night, but over 3 nights last week:
The Lord of The Rings - all 3 extended versions.
First re-watch for at least 10 years, but they still hold up really well. I can remember going to see them every December between 2001-03. I feel old..
I think "Fellowship" is my favourite. Maybe.
Haven't watched them in years because they are long and my partner has the attention span of a gnat so anything like LotR is too much effort to actually watch. Some of my favourite films ever though. Need to make time to re-watch them.
Worse than Shang Chi? Which sits in the bottom 4 or 5 movies in MCU for me.
I've never been a fan of super hero films at all; so this was a big experiment for me to watch all of the MCU films.
I've therefore been watching in this order:

Which means Shang Chi is next

I've just been watching in release order since Iron Man essentially - have fun with Shang Chi
Although I shouldn't be cocky, i'm a completionist so need to watch Eternals before Spidey comes out.
I quite enjoyed Eternals, but it doesn't really fit in with the overall Marvel narrative. Go in thinking of it as a generic'ish sci-fi film and it's not half bad.I've just been watching in release order since Iron Man essentially - have fun with Shang Chi

The trailer isn't entirely terrible and apart from a few lines of dialogue that tie it to MCU, it does look like a generic sci-fi movie as you say - just can't get the meme out of my head about 'when you order your Avengers from Wish.com'

"The Hunt" on Netflix. Loved it. Gory ("That nearly hit me!" 
), constantly surprising, well acted and some wonderfully dark satire.

They're still awesome. Watching them again showed me just how superior to the recent Hobbit movies they are!
Also last week, for the first time ever: Saturday Night Fever (1977)
18 Version. Well I didn't expect that! I'd thought it was a movie purely about Travolta prancing about - which was why I was reluctant to ever watch it. Definitely a movie of its time.

Eternals.... Turned off after about an hour, I feel sorry for film reviewers to have to sit through all of it.
The Hunt. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8244784/
Didn't outstay its welcome with just shy of an hour and a half runtime.
Quite an interesting idea and was entertaining for a one-off viewing.

Scream 2022 - 8/10
Better than it has any right to be really, manages to keep the meta edge and hits surprisingly well. Cast is really good with the slight negative of Courtney Cox being unable to move her face any more. Loved the little nods to slasher cliches and references to both itself and other modern horror films.

The House of Gucci - Style over substance this one, not to dissimilar to the brand. Theres a decent story behind the film just a shame it failed to deliver on it. Not sure if it was the acting or fake accents but for the most part they just all came off as Italian caricatures.

The Batman (2022) - 8/10
Grim, dark, gloomy and moody with some powerful iconic imagery and a dramatic story in an overly gothic setting.
The story’s good with plenty of drama and action, but without the grand scale of explosive action or tongue in cheek of other superhero movies, it is a bit hard going at times.
Still, the acting performances were great with some good character development and the grittier, down to earth style suited the run down and corrupt setting.
Apart from the final act which kept bringing in additional scenes, it didn’t feel long at all.

Yupp and 7/10 from me

Adam Project also, trash to be honest. 4/10 Reynolds is getting a tad boring.
