Must-haves in green!
As I said before, I fully appreciate that a list like this is necessarily subjective, so this is purely a suggestion and not a demand
but perhaps you ought to include
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in there? It's a surprisingly much better film in 3D than it is in 2D - clearly intended to be viewed that way - and for sheer visual craziness there's little to match it.
If you want an idea of what it's like, Luc Besson obviously watched
Avatar and the
Star Wars prequels, and said "hold my beer."

Added, thanks. Haven't gotten around it watching 'Valerian' 3D yet.

As a "guilty pleasure" rather than as "A-list", I see. That's a little harsh.
It's not a great film, but it's probably better than
Ghost in the Shell, or
Godzilla, or
Dredd.

On the other hand, if you want a definitive example of a guilty-pleasure film (i.e. one that has some cool 3D visuals but pretty much no other redeeming features) you could add
Space Pirate Captain Harlock to the list.

Two other suggestions for your "recommended films" list: The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie both have some seriously impressive 3D. Both are also great fun.

I kind of like the idea of a Pi4. But the 3d seems like it will never come.
I tend to play back MKV Blu-Ray rips with just the 5.1 core (I have no interest in HD audio, nor in 4k).
Will the Pi3B+ meet my needs (3d playback from connected USB 3.5" HDD enclosure)? Otherwise I could look at the Z9s. Though it doesn't seem like the hardware's so much better than the Pi - 4xArm-53 @ 1.4GHz on both devices, albeit with 2GB RAM on the Z9s. But then I guess the Z9s has a better GPU...

Any updates on the Vero 4k player? I'm looking to buy a box for 3d mkv MVC and I'm not sure if I should buy the Zidoo Z9s or wait on the Vero 4k to get its 3d ironed out?

Does anyone know which version of Windows 10 works best with the afedchin Kodi 17? I had an Intel laptop that was working fine a year ago and now doesn't go into framepacked mode. I get top/bottom. I'm assuming Windows update borked something. I was planning to start fresh with an old version of Windows 10 and try to keep it from updating.
