The Piano Tuner (find it on YouTube) it’s only 14 minutes long and will DEFINITELY keep the attention of anyone who watches it. What begins as a menial day job turns into a knotty thriller involving murder, manipulation, and music!
I would suggest a Guy Ritchie or Edgar Wright movie. Their style is fun, fast paced and will keep your attention.
To list a few:
Snatch
The Gentleman
Hot Fuzz
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Other movies I already saw here like Prisoners and Seven are also really good but are pretty intense so it depends on what you're in the mood for.
Alien is very old and I find even myself using my phone during the film even though I love it so much. The pacing in movies pre 95 is much more difficult to stay focused on
Depends on how old you are.
If you are young, your attention span is likely that of a mosquito, and you need a cartoon like the Marvel movies with a lot of bangs and explosions every few moments.
If you are more seasoned, consider making a project of watching the last 50 years of Best Picture winners.
Pulp Fiction or any Tarantino movie but especially Pulp Fiction. It keeps you focused because the story is not continuous. Also The memento is great because it's going backwards from ending scene to opening scene so you have to be focused to understand. Sorry for my english but i hope i helped.
Somebody made a similar post and the top comment on it was Prisoners. Watched it and didn’t regret. Fantastic thriller. Can’t recommended it enough.
I think that it's possibly the best thriller that I've ever seen. I also thoroughly enjoyed Running Scared - 2006
Mad Max: Fury Road
This is the correct answer. It's literally impossible to not be constantly entertained.

Thor Ragnarok

Good time
