Enemy is ridiculous. I can't say in good conscience it's "good" but if you want peak-weirdo Gyllenhaal in a quasi-erotic Lynchian "thriller", go for it.
Django's great! Watch that!

Synecdoche is hilarious. Deliberately, I think it is kind of poking fun at self disgust and self obsession, from someone who's been there enough to know how serious & how ridiculous it is.

When I click "Gay and Lesbian" on Netflix, I get three Jake Gyllenhaal movie options. Someone at Netflix reads ILX.

I had 'The Five Obstructions' sitting around for awhile and just sent it back. Tried watching it once with my gf and about 15 minutes in it stopped playing due to scratches, got a new copy, turns out she wasn't that into it anyway.

American Hustle. Sitting around for several months, but every time I want to watch something I put in a musical documentary or some old 40s B-movie instead.

I've had Attack the Block and Jodorowsky's Dune next to the TV for ages now, I think I planned to watch them when my wife was going to be out of town and her trip got cancelled. She has no real interest in either of them but I don't really want to send them back yet.

Attack The Block is great

cosign - def watch Attack The Block

We've had 2001 for a week+, watched the first 40 minutes over two different nights and haven't felt the impulse to go back to it. Will probably return.
Attack the Block and Jodorowsky's Dune are both definitely worth watching. Try to get your wife to watch the latter with you, she might find it more interesting than she imagined (my wife watched it and liked it and has no interest in Jodorowsky/Dune/sci fi).
