| title | HOW THE WORLD CUP HAS TO BE ORGANISED |
| body | Many of us can boldly say that we are living in a free and fair world. However, some of us can also boldly stand up and defend the fact that the world is not a free and fair place to live in. But it is the responsibility of every stakeholder in general to make the world a better place to live in. And today, I stand to express my opinion about how to make the mighty game of football and to be precise, the WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT free and fair so as to give equal chances for every competing team to win.  Allow me to briefly breakdown how the previous world cup tournaments have been organized using the recently concluded world cup in Russia as an example. There were 32 teams which qualified for the great tournament, and these teams were split into eight groups each having four teams. Group A Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay Group B Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran Group C France, Australia, Peru, Denmark Group D Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria Group E Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia Group F Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea Group G Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England Group H Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan These were the groups that were formed from the draws that were conducted, and the results were what we saw simply because some of the teams were handed relatively soft groups, hence were theoretically expected to have relatively straightforward route to the higher levels of the competitions especially quarter-finals where the heavy clashes were expected to begin from. Also, some of the "Weaker" teams had the advantage of avoiding some of the biggest hitters like Brazil which doesn't look free and fair as far as the beautiful game is concerned. In my opinion, the world cup tournament is to be organized just like how the other football leagues are organized, I mean it should involved the teams playing each other home and away across the duration. And in the same way, three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat, with the team with the most points at the end of the tournament winning the World cup trophy. And if two teams finish with the same number of points, their position in the world cup table is determined by goal difference, then the number of goals scored. This is how the world cup table of 2018 would have been had this system been used! POSITION 1 FRANCE 2 CROATIA 3 BELGIUM 4 ENGLAND 5 RUSSIA 6 BRAZIL 7 SWEDEN 8 URUGUAY 9 ARGENTINA 10 JAPAN 11 COLOMBIA 12 SPAIN 13 DENMARK 14 PORTUGAL 15 SWITZERLAND 16 MEXICO 17 SENEGAL 18 IRAN 19 SOUTH KOREA 20 PERU 21 NIGERIA 22 GERMANY 23 SERBIA 24 POLAND 25 TUNISIA 26 SAUDI ARABIA 27 MOROCCO 28 ICELAND 29 COSTA RICA 30 AUSTRALIA 31 EGYPT 32 PANAMA AND IN THIS WAY, A I BELIEVE THAT A TOTALLY FREE AND FAIR WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT WILL BE ACHIEVED. BUT WOULD FRANCE BE CROWNED THE WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS OF 2018????  |

| title | SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF STEEMIT TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL |
| body | Hello steemians. It's been a while since I made a post on my blog. Well, I bet you didn't wonder why. A couple of months ago, I was the most naive person as far as steemit is concerned. This continued to happen not until on the fateful day when I was headed for an exams one early morning. On that day, I met a college friend who had of course already completed his studies but was simply minding his own business around the college. Well, I didn't understand why he still chose to stay around college yet his colleagues were already hustling on the streets in search of employment opportunities, but I also minded my own business since I wasn't interested into digging into his personal affairs. You may be thinking "What kind of friendship existed between us that we even did't mind about each other's private affairs?" Well, that's a question for another day. However, on that fateful day, upon exchanging pleasantries, he gave me a pen in which was inscribed the following words on a piece of paper "steemit" and wished me success in my exams. I had to ask what "steemit" meant, and he told me that I ckecked on him after the paper for further explainations concerning steemit. I kept my cool just like a sheep upon slaughter and headed for my paper bearing in mind that I MUST see this guy for all the questions and explainations that had already had in mind. Well, the first thing I did after my paper was to look for this guy, and that's how I came to be posting what you are reading right now after taking me through the whole process of steemit. So, I borrowed a leaf from that and also decided that I have to also reach the unreached as far as the gospel of steemit is concerned, and that way, I have been able to spread the gospel of steemit to those individuals. You may be asking how? Well, the answer is quite simple and right here. I simply decided to reach them in the same way I was reached before, though I could give them (the new steemit would be babies) the explainations that they needed at that very instant. This is how I completed the whole process. First of all, I obtained ball point bic pens cheaply from a friend. After which, I obtained a plain piece of paper and wrote the following words on the paper, "Get paid, join steemit" as shown below.  After which I was able to cut the paper into pieces that could fit into the pens while taking note of the fact that each piece of paper had those words of "Get paid, join steemit" on them.  Furthermore, I simply had to roll each paper and insert it into each pen to look like what is below.      Lastly, I would simply give a single pen to an individual whom I see has the likelihood of joining steemit and that's how they also start to bear in mind the same questions I bore when I received one of a kind from a friend. And that way, the process of explainantions would also kick start the process and desire to open up a steemit account. I have been following up their progress. However, most of them still don't have active accounts since they opened up their accounts about a week ago. But I have one, @moseve who opened up a couple of weeks ago thanks to this "pen system" of spreading the steemit gospel. I will keep you updated about their progress. Please, follow, upvote, resteem me @moshgyver. Thanks for your time. |

| body | [](https://dlive.io/video/moshgyver/1c85fd19-9cc0-11e8-8054-0242ac110003) Hello steemians, here a short video I shot on our way to Mukono town through the Ankrah mountains in Kampala, Uganda. In the video are my friends Eve and Junie. By the way, I introduced to steemit about two months ago, and she now has a steemit account by the name moseve. Meanwhile, Junie is also so eager to join steemit after I jazzed him about the whole money making stuff. I will be taking him through the whole process of registration soon, and that will make my next dlive video. It wont only be him though coz there are other colleagues of mine who are also willing to join. Enjoy the video, upvote and comment. Thanks. Follow me on @moshgyver and also remember to follow Eve @moseve. Thanks My video is at DLive My video is at [DLive](https://dlive.io/video/moshgyver/1c85fd19-9cc0-11e8-8054-0242ac110003) |

| title | "BITCOIN FIX", THE SAVIOUR OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET. |
| body | Hello steemians out there, I salute you all for all your efforts for making steemit what it is as of now. We all have to acknowledge the fact that together, we’re moving to the era of collective intelligence in which we’re going to pool millions of computers together to solve fundamental problems, and Bitcoin is more than just a proof of concept. It’s been able to do this consistently. However, as we all know, Bitcoin has taken a massive dive this year from its peak at almost $20,000 to hovering around $7,000 a coin for some time now which is a night mare to the cryptocurrency market. But here’s what most people don’t know: A massive system upgrade to Bitcoin is expected to go live at any time, I mean anytime soon…So keep your gingers crossed per now. And cryptocurrency experts believe that when it does, the price of Bitcoin will soar – potentially to $100,000 a coin, or more! You may be wondering why and how is this going to happen? Well, the answer may not be a simple one since its hard to believe per now, But this is the most reasonable one. Because until now, the one BIG problem with Bitcoin has been that it’s virtually useless as an actual form of money. In its current form, payment transactions are ridiculously slow and the costs are extremely high. But that will all change overnight when this new “Bitcoin fix” is released. This critical upgrade will finally make Bitcoin as easy to use as credit cards – and even cheaper than credit cards for businesses to accept. When this becomes known, businesses all over the world will rush to accept Bitcoin. And when the general public gets the option to buy everything from pizza to plane tickets with Bitcoin, look out – it’ll create a buying frenzy the likes of which we’ve never seen. The announcement of this upgrade could soon push Bitcoin way past the $20,000 per coin price it reached last December… potentially as high as $100,000 a coin. And it’s not just Bitcoin. This system upgrade could send other cryptocurrencies soaring as well. Investors who make the right moves right now – before the announcement of this massive upgrade starts making headlines – will have the opportunity to make HUGE gains very quickly… So it’s critical that you view this important message from a Bitcoin Investing Pioneer. He will tell you exactly how you could take advantage of this coming upgrade. I have no doubt millionaires could be created from this event. Don’t miss your shot as you may be one of them to make the HUGE returns on investment.  |

| body | There is merrymaking at the NYANTAKYI residence. It is the sixty-first birthday of Mr. KUSI NYANTAKYI, and a party has been organized for him. He is surrounded by family, friends and colleagues. His wife, SIKA NYANTAKYI, is looking resplendent in her all-white attire which matches her husband’s. She is sitting in a wheelchair by her husband’s side. She cannot walk. A massive stroke two years earlier has rendered her incapable of walking, and has paralysed half her body. Her right arm is bent, and she is not capable of coherent speech as part of her mouth is also cruelly twisted to the side. Their only daughter, twenty-six-year-old KESEWAA, is also fawning around her parents. Kesewaa is indeed a very beautiful girl. She is tall, extremely fair and as graceful as gazelle. She is as incredible-looking as a fairy, and all eyes follow her as she moves from one guest to the other. Her father has already blown the candles and cut the cake and tired from dancing and all the excitement, he is now sitting down with his wife by his side. Also on the high table with him are BISHOP OSUANYI AYEH, the General Overseer of GOLGOTHA HEIGHTS INTERNATIONAL CHURCH. The Bishop’s wife, KORKOR, is also present. So also is the new pastor of the church, REVEREND EBOW OBUOBI, who has recently returned to Ghana from his studies abroad, and who is already causing a great fire revival in the church with his display of the power of God. He is the nephew of Bishop Osuanyi. People are still dancing, eating and making merry. White tents, white cotton-covered chairs and tables fill the yard. Food is in abundance. The Gift Area is laden with wrapped parcels. Sitting to one side under the tent is a calm-looking man in his early thirties. His name is AKOTO NYAMEBOAME. He is wearing a designer agbada, and he is very handsome. By his side is his mother, MAAME AKUA, who looks quite elderly and a little out of place. On his other side is a dark-complexioned twenty-nine-year-old lady called AMINA MOHAMMED. She is Kesewaa’s best friend. Kesewaa extricates herself from a little group she is chatting with, and approaches Akoto with a lovely smile on her face. She walks with rhythm, and Amina sees the look of love and adoration on Akoto’s face as he looks at Kesewaa. AMINA (giggling) Ei, Mr. Akoto! Look at the expression on your face! Love is going to kill you one of these days! AKOTO (laughing softly) I love your friend, Amina. I love her so much! Kesewaa has reached them now. She kneels down by the chair Maame Akua is sitting on, and smiles sweetly. KESEWAA (gently) My dearest mother-in-law! Are you okay? Was the food sufficient for you? Maame Akua smiles with real joy and touches Kesewaa’s shoulder. MAAME AKUA I’m very full and happy, my dearest daughter. Thank you very much! Kesewaa now stands up and looks at the adoring face of Akoto. KESEWAA (sweetly) My darling! You’re devouring me with your eyes! Ei, I’m even scared of what you’ll do to me after our wedding! They all laugh, and Akoto shakes his head. AKOTO (lovingly) I keep telling you, Kesewaa, that I’ve never seen the nakedness of any woman before. My mother brought me up as a Christian, and I’ve grown up a virgin. Yes, I can’t wait to hold you on our wedding night! AMINA (giggling) Ei, doesn’t the Bible say that if you desire a woman in your mind you’ve fornicated? Be careful, my friends! They all laugh again. KESEWAA (holding out her hand) Come, my love. Father wants to introduce you to our Pastor. He will be officiating our wedding, you know. Akoto takes her hand and stands up. They begin to walk towards the high table, and the crowd looks at them. They look so good together, so suited to each other! People look at them and whisper, pointing fingers at them, telling those who do not yet know that very soon the beautiful Kesewaa will be married to the handsome and very wealthy Akoto. The two of them have now reached the high table. Mr. Kusi Nyantakyi stands up and hugs Akoto, and then he turns and introduces him to Bishop Osuanyi and Reverend Obuobi. MR. NYANTAKYI (beaming with smiles) This is Akoto Nyameboame, the young man who is going to marry Kesewaa within the next few months. He has already come for the list. He brought me a brand new, registered Nissan for my birthday! Bishop Osuanyi is smiling broadly as he shakes Akoto’s hand vigorously. BISHOP OSUANYI Aaaaah! A man after my own heart! So young, and yet so blessed! I hear you own IT-SENZ, young man! The biggest telecommunications company in West Africa! Akoto smiles modestly and nods. AKOTO (softly) It is all by the grace of the God I serve, sir. BISHOP OSUANYI Beautiful! Nice! Then you’re going to bring that blessing to Golgotha Church, my friend! Mr. NYANTAKYI (proudly) Akoto and Kesewaa have known each other for four years, and now God has paved the way for their marriage. Akoto paid the total expense for this party, Bishop! He bought me my car and bought this house for us. He’s been taking care of my wife’s medical bills! He’s a good man, Bishop! BISHOP OSUANYI (vibrantly) That he is! That he is! May God bless you, Akoto, my man! Next week we’re holding a one-week Holy Spirit Convention. The proceeds would be used to complete another branch of the church for Reverend Obuobi to preside over! You should make the time and be there, my son! AKOTO (smiling) Wouldn’t miss it for all the riches in the world, Bishop. There is happiness and good feeling all around. The new pastor, Obuobi, now steps forward. He reaches out to take Akoto’s hand, but he pauses suddenly and drops his hand without touching Akoto. The pastor’s face is suddenly filled with a scowl.Akoto’s hand is still in the air, but when it becomes evident that Pastor Obuobi has no intention of shaking his hand, he puts his hand down with his eyebrows raised.There is a hint of mounting anger in Akoto’s eyes. What could it be? To Be Continued |

Was the food sufficient for you?\nMaame Akua smiles with real joy and touches Kesewaa’s shoulder.\nMAAME AKUA\nI’m very full and happy, my dearest daughter. Thank you very much!\nKesewaa now stands up and looks at the adoring face of Akoto.\nKESEWAA\n(sweetly)\nMy darling! You’re devouring me with your eyes! Ei, I’m even scared of what you’ll do to me after our wedding!\nThey all laugh, and Akoto shakes his head.\nAKOTO\n(lovingly)\nI keep telling you, Kesewaa, that I’ve never seen the nakedness of any woman before. My mother brought me up as a Christian, and I’ve grown up a virgin. Yes, I can’t wait to hold you on our wedding night!\nAMINA\n(giggling)\nEi, doesn’t the Bible say that if you desire a woman in your mind you’ve fornicated? Be careful, my friends!\nThey all laugh again.\nKESEWAA\n(holding out her hand)\nCome, my love. Father wants to introduce you to our Pastor. He will be officiating our wedding, you know.\nAkoto takes her hand and stands up.\nThey begin to walk towards the high table, and the crowd looks at them.\nThey look so good together, so suited to each other!\nPeople look at them and whisper, pointing fingers at them, telling those who do not yet know that very soon the beautiful Kesewaa will be married to the handsome and very wealthy Akoto.\nThe two of them have now reached the high table.\nMr. Kusi Nyantakyi stands up and hugs Akoto, and then he turns and introduces him to Bishop Osuanyi and Reverend Obuobi.\n\nMR. NYANTAKYI\n(beaming with smiles)\nThis is Akoto Nyameboame, the young man who is going to marry Kesewaa within the next few months. He has already come for the list. He brought me a brand new, registered Nissan for my birthday!\nBishop Osuanyi is smiling broadly as he shakes Akoto’s hand vigorously.\nBISHOP OSUANYI\nAaaaah! A man after my own heart! So young, and yet so blessed! I hear you own IT-SENZ, young man! The biggest telecommunications company in West Africa!\nAkoto smiles modestly and nods.\nAKOTO\n(softly)\nIt is all by the grace of the God I serve, sir.\nBISHOP OSUANYI\nBeautiful! Nice! Then you’re going to bring that blessing to Golgotha Church, my friend!\nMr. NYANTAKYI\n(proudly)\nAkoto and Kesewaa have known each other for four years, and now God has paved the way for their marriage. Akoto paid the total expense for this party, Bishop! He bought me my car and bought this house for us. He’s been taking care of my wife’s medical bills! He’s a good man, Bishop!\nBISHOP OSUANYI\n(vibrantly)\nThat he is! That he is! May God bless you, Akoto, my man! Next week we’re holding a one-week Holy Spirit Convention. The proceeds would be used to complete another branch of the church for Reverend Obuobi to preside over! You should make the time and be there, my son!\nAKOTO\n(smiling)\nWouldn’t miss it for all the riches in the world, Bishop.\nThere is happiness and good feeling all around. The new pastor, Obuobi, now steps forward. He reaches out to take Akoto’s hand, but he pauses suddenly and drops his hand without touching Akoto. The pastor’s face is suddenly filled with a scowl.Akoto’s hand is still in the air, but when it becomes evident that Pastor Obuobi has no intention of shaking his hand, he puts his hand down with his eyebrows raised.There is a hint of mounting anger in Akoto’s eyes.\n\nWhat could it be?\n\nTo Be Continued",

| title | The Best Movies you and your friends can spend the weekend with. |
| body | Hei folks out there. We’ve all been there. So you’ve decided you’re going to watch a movie. But then there’s the choosing. You’ve gotta find something that fits your mood, especially the weekend moods, or something you and your friend/significant other/couch companion can agree on. You spend hours browsing, and by the time you stumble on something you think maybe is the one, it’s too late, you’re too tired, and indecision has won out. Never fear, though, because I have thumbed through the library and assembled a list of some of the best films currently available for streaming, so peruse through the highlights below. Maybe the perfect choice is right here. 1... The Dark Knight  Director: Christopher Nolan Writer: Jonathan Nolan Cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine One of the best superhero movies ever made, full-stop, The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. Christopher Nolan successfully introduced the world to the idea of a “gritty reboot” with Batman Begins, but for the follow-up he crafted an epic, surprising, and downright thrilling story of escalation. Heath Ledger’s take on The Joker is iconic, offering up an enigmatic villain who consistently throws Christian Bale’s Batman for a loop. Then you have Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent, as The Dark Knight crafts a meaty, fulfilling, and heartbreaking arc for this Bruce Wayne foil. On top of all of that, Nolan is essentially making a film about the post-9/11 world—one in which fighting “the bad guys” only leads to bigger and more severe devastation. How do you confront an enemy that just wants to watch the world burn? There’s a reason The Dark Knight has lingered in the public consciousness for a decade, and it still holds up as the best of the best in the face of the bevy of superhero movies that soon followed. – Adam Chitwood 2...Star Wars: The Last Jedi  Director/Writer: Rian Johnson Cast: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis Love it or hate it, you have to admit Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a bold film. It’d have been easy for Looper filmmaker Rian Johnson to simply craft a fan service-y Force Awakens sequel that follows all the expected storytelling beats, but instead he leaned hard into character POVs—specifically those of Rey and Kylo Ren, telling a story mostly through their eyes. The result is a wildly thrilling, wholly original, and surprising sequel that delivers entertainment and thematic heft in equal measure. It’s a story about self-doubt, growth, and the spark of a rebellion, and it’s lovingly crafted with show-stopping, iconic visuals like the Throne Room set piece and Holdo’s gasp-inducing moment. Whether you’re watching The Last Jedi for the first for 15th time, you’re getting a whole meal of a movie. – Adam Chitwood 3...Set It Up  Director: Claire Scanlon Writer: Katie Silberman Cast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs If you’re looking for a charming romantic comedy, but don’t want to rewatch something from a previous decade for the umpteenth time, you should definitely give Claire Scanlon’s charming Set It Up a look. The plot follows two beleaguered assistants (Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell) who decided to set up their bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively) in order to just get some precious free time away from their demanding jobs. However, with all their scheming, they start to fall for each other. You can see the romcom beats coming from a mile away, but they’re done so well and so effectively that you won’t mind. Plus, the film sizzles thanks to the outstanding performances from the dazzling Deutch and Powell, who should be the streaming generation’s Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. – Matt Goldberg 4...Ex Machina  Director/Writer: Alex Garland Cast: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Sonoya Mizuno Alex Garland made a splash with his screenplays for films like 28 Days Later and Dredd, but his directorial debut Ex Machina is really something else. Domhnall Gleeson plays a computer programmer named Caleb working for a search engine company who is invited to the isolated home of the company’s CEO, an enigmatic Steve Jobs-like figure named Nathan (Oscar Isaac). He’s been brought to this remote compound to interact with a humanoid robot that Nathan built called Ava (Alicia Vikander), and to essentially perform a Turing test. But secrets lurk in the dark halls of Nathan’s compound, and within this sci-fi story Garland explores issues relating to A.I., toxic masculinity, and gender dynamics in fascinating ways. It’s a thrilling, surprising, and wholly unique piece of cinema that’s impossible to shake long after the credits have rolled. – Adam Chitwood 5...The 40-Year-Old Virgin  Directed by: Judd Apatow Written by: Steve Carell and Judd Apatow Cast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Romany Malco, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Kat Dennings, and Mindy Kaling When The 40-Year-Old-Virgin was released in 2005, it was a huge hit. But in hindsight we can clearly see this was also a game-changer for the comedy genre. Judd Apatow’s heavily improvised style brought a looseness to the film from scene to scene, and the film’s tone—which was equal parts raunchy and heartwarming—felt unique. You usually had your sex comedies and your emotional romantic comedies separate, but here Apatow combined the two sensibilities and had the perfect actor for the titular lead: Steve Carell. The result is a hilarious, very NSFW, but also oddly sweet and sensitive story of a mild-mannered 40-year-old man looking to get laid who ends up finding love, complete with outstanding supporting performances by folks like Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. This one holds up. – Adam Chitwood 6....Thor: Ragnarok  Director: Taika Waititi Writers: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher Yost Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, and Taika Waititi Thor: Ragnarok is not just one of the best Marvel Studios movies so far, it’s indicative of how the MCU is beginning to evolve a decade into its run. For the third standalone Thor film, director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) essentially breaks the character down and builds him back up again, anew. Gone are Thor’s long locks, self-seriousness, and pomposity. Instead we get a rockin’ haircut and sense of humor, and at last Chris Hemsworth’s magnetic charisma shines through. Ragnarok is an absolute blast of a film, a movie that never takes itself seriously and is basically an eye-popping thrill ride from beginning to end. – Adam Chitwood 7...Boogie Nights  Director/Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall, Thomas Jane, Alfred Molina, and Ricky Jay Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson is certainly one of the most ambitious filmmakers working today, but his 1997 magnum opus Boogie Nights remains not only one of his best movies, but a groundbreaking piece of work full-stop. Anderson chronicles the rise and fall of an energetic young man in the 1970s with a massive…talent. Casting Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler was a stroke of genius, and the way Anderson fashions the burgeoning porn industry into a dysfunctional family drama is downright masterful. And that cast, man alive. Each and every ensemble member shines—when you have a film where Philip Seymour Hoffman isn’t the scene-stealer, you know you’ve got something special. Boogie Nights remains as entertaining, heartbreaking, and enthralling as ever almost two decades after its release. – Adam Chitwood 8...Coco  Director: Lee Unkrich Writers: Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich Cast: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjmain Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renee Victor, Ana Ofelia Murguia, Edward James Olmos Although Pixar isn’t the unstoppable force it once was, they can still put together a great movie from time to time and Coco is definitely the studio operating at the top of its game. While it certainly falls into the familiar Pixar tropes—a buddy movie where two characters go on a trip of some kind—Lee Unkrich’s film stands apart due to its deep and abiding love for Mexican culture and putting the importance of family at the core of the story. The movie boasts excellent music, a heartwarming story, memorable characters, and eye-popping design as its leads traverse the Land of the Dead on Dia de Los Muertos. Although I thought the film would be enjoyable, I didn’t expect it to eventually move me to tears. This is a movie you need to see with your family. – Matt Goldberg 9...Her  Director/Writer: Spike Jonze Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt Filmmaker Spike Jonze’s 2013 film Her garnered a few snickers when the premise was revealed: A story of a man who falls in love with his operating system. But when folks got a look at the film, they weren’t laughing. Her is one of the best films of the decade—a deeply felt, gorgeous, heartbreaking story of love, loneliness, and what it means to be a human on the planet Earth. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a phenomenal lead performance, and Scarlett Johansson is magnificent in the voice role of Samantha. The cinematography by Hoye van Hoytema is warm and inviting, the score by Arcade Fire is immensely moving. This is a film that’s pretty much perfect from top to bottom, and by the end you my find yourself in a puddle of tears over just how darn beautiful the whole thing is. Do yourself a favor and give Her a shot. – Adam Chitwood 10...Se7en  Director: David Fincher Writer: Andrew Kevin Walker Cast: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey The movie that put David Fincher on the map, Se7en remains a taut, twisted thriller. The story follows detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) as they hunt a serial killer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his killings. The movie has everyone involved playing at the top of their game in a movie that doesn’t shy away from bleakness or the darkness in humanity. The movie also shows that even with his second film, Fincher was already a master on the rise of cinema, and it’s remarkable to see how far he’s come when Se7en is already such an assured, confident picture. – Matt Goldberg 11...L.A. Confidential  Directed by: Curtis Hanson Written by: Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson Cast: Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, James Cromwell, and David Strathairn The 1997 noir L.A. Confidential is kind of a perfect movie. In the vein of Chinatown or Double Indemnity, this is classic noir through and through but brought to the screen with vigor, style, and maximum emotional impact by director Curtis Hanson. Based on the James Ellroy novel of the same name, the film stars Guy Pearce as a do-good police sergeant (Guy Pearce) in 1950s L.A. who teams up with a burly cop (Russell Crowe) to find the truth to a deadly mob murder. Police corruption and Hollywood scandal are front and center, but the film never hits a false note. It introduced audiences at large to Pearce and Crowe, both of whom who soar as a result, and the Best Picture nominee was so impactful it inspired an entire video game in L.A. Noire! – Adam Chitwood 12...Enemy  Director: Denis Villeneuve Writer: Javier Gullón Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, and Isabella Rossellini Before filmmaker Denis Villeneuve blew minds with Blade Runner 2049 or Arrival, he made a head-spinning psychological thriller called Enemy featuring two of Jake Gyllenhal’s best performances. Yes, two—Enemy revolves around a solitary college history professor who leads a mundane life, only to discover an actor who looks exactly like him. He begins investigating the dopelganger’s life, and reality itself appears to bend as the professor spirals further and further down the rabbit hole. This film is not for everyone—it’s the weirdest thing Villeneuve has made thus far, but it’s no less gorgeous and involving than the rest of his oeuvre. It also features one of the scariest shots ever put to film. Give it a spin and see if you can figure this one out. – Adam Chitwood 13...The Iron Giant  Director: Brad Bird Writer: Tim McCanlies Cast: Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Christopher McDonald, and Vin Diesel A flop upon its initial release back in 1999, The Iron Giant has become a cult classic over the year and eventually found its audience. Brad Bird’s animated adaptation of Ted Hughes’ book follows young Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal), a smart but lonely kid during the Cold War who stumbles across a giant metal robot from outer space. Hogarth befriends the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and teaches him about life and death as well as what it means to be a hero rather than a weapon. It’s a beautiful story, and it’s no wonder that the film has found a special place in the hearts of viewers. If you still haven’t seen it, clear your evening plans, and watch it as soon as possible. – Matt Goldberg 14...The Departed  Director: Martin Scorsese Writer: William Nicholson Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, and James Badge Dale Filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s 2006 crime drama The Departed is the film that finally won him the Best Director Oscar, but he was simply trying to have a good time. After serious epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York, Scorsese admitted he opted to make a commercial film, choosing to remake the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs with an all-star cast. The result is a tremendously entertaining crime drama packed with stellar performances, and led by one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best turns ever. The film not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. – Adam Chitwood 15...The Ritual  Director: David Bruckner Writer: Joe Barton Cast: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton Horror movies are always a gamble–some are great, and deliver more than expected, while others simply tread well-worn territory. The Ritual falls into the former category, as director David Bruckner takes a story about male friendships and growing older (and further apart) and packages it into a terrifying, twisty “monster in the woods” horror film. The film revolves around four friends who go on a hiking trip in Sweden to honor their friend Rob, who was killed six months earlier during a convenience store robbery. But when they take a shortcut through some woods (terrible idea), they find themselves haunted by a malevolent creature. The performances really anchor this thing as a character-rich piece, specifically from lead Rafe Spall, and the creature design itself is absolutely unique (and frightening). The final result is a horror movie that’s downright scary, surprising, and honestly quite thoughtful. It’s the whole package. – Adam Chitwood 16...Forgetting Sarah Marshall  Director: Nicholas Stoller Writer: Jason Segel Cast: Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Bill Hader The 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall is secretly one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Produced by Judd Apatow, the film saw Freaks and Geeks breakout Jason Segel writing a script inspired by his own experiences. The story revolves around a guy who gets dumped by his famous girlfriend (Kristen Bell) and heads to Hawaii to try and forget about his troubles. As it turns out his ex and her new rock star lover (Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort. Hilarity and male nudity ensue, but what makes Forgetting Sarah Marshall linger is the sensitivity at the heart of the film. It’s ultimately an incredibly sweet story bolstered by tremendous performances that also happens to feature a Dracula musical. – Adam Chitwood 17...Heat  Directed/Written by: Michael Mann Cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Wes Studi, Jon Voight, Ted Levine, and Natalie Portman Filmmaker Michael Mann’s crime epic Heat is a must-watch classic, through and through. The film largely influenced Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, as it’s a crime thriller in which the city is as much a character as the various people involved. Robert De Niro plays a career criminal whose crew gets in hot water after a heist goes wrong. Al Pacino plays the LAPD lieutenant hunting him down. And since this is a Michael Mann movie, there are various other character-rich plot threads going on at the same time. De Niro and Pacino famously only have one scene together, but boy does Mann make it count. – Adam Chitwood 18...Moonrise Kingdom  Director: Wes Anderson Writers: Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola Cast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Jason Schwarztman, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton Wes Anderson’s ode to summer lovin’ is quite possibly his most romantic film yet, as the filmmaker perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be young and head-over-heels in love. It’s a delightful picture with an undercurrent of sadness running throughout, and it features some of the most stunning production design of Anderson’s oeuvre—and that’s saying something. Moonrise Kingdom also features the anachronistic casting of Bruce Willis and Edward Norton, who turn out to be absolute perfect fits for Anderson’s brand of auteurism. – Adam Chitwood 19...Just Friends  Director: Roger Kumble Writer: Adam Davis Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, and Chris Klein Now that Ryan Reynolds is a bona fide action hero, let’s not forget the guy is also an incredibly talented comedic actor. Roger Kumble’s underrated romantic comedy Just Friends is a terrific showcase for Reynolds’ skills, as the dichotomy between his impossibly good looks and goofy comedic sensibility is put to good use as a formerly chubby, sensitive-type who is now a trim, successful music producer. Anna Faris also turns in great work here as a play on a Britney Spears-esque pop star, and she and Reynolds have fantastic chemistry. The film allows Reynolds to flex his physical comedy skills quite a bit and also accentuates his penchant for perfect timing, especially when it comes to the running gag with his character’s brother. And the “I Swear” lip sync is a fitting capper to this goofy, sweet, incredibly entertaining comedy. – Adam Chitwood 20...Lincoln  Director: Steven Spielberg Writer: Tony Kushner Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hal Holbrook There are those that will tell you Lincoln is “minor Spielberg,” but those people are wrong. This 2012 drama had long been a passion project of Steven Spielberg’s, and as realized is a thoughtful, insightful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of one of the greatest American presidents. The film doesn’t take the “cradle to grave” route but instead focuses on Lincoln’s efforts to pass the 13th Amendment. In doing so, Spielberg creates one of the best films about political process ever made, while also digging deep into the contradictions in Lincoln himself. As portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis, it’s a complex, fascinating portrayal of a man trying to do best by himself and his country, but who doesn’t always have the right answers. The film is far deeper than a simple “that was nice” story, and is West Wing-esque in its compelling chronicle of the political process. In short, it’s masterful, and it’s absolutely top tier Spielberg. – Adam Chitwood 21...A Futile and Stupid Gesture  Directed by: David Wain Written by: John Aboud and Michael Colton Cast: Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Martin Mull, Emmy Rossum, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Matt Lucas, Natasha Lyonne, Ed Helms, Max Greenfield, Paul Scheer, and Jon Daly If you’re a comedy nerd, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a must-watch. The Netflix original film chronicles the origins of National Lampoon magazine through the eyes of co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte), a hilarious free spirit who would go on to co-write Animal House and Caddyshack before meeting an untimely end. Forte is the driving force of the film as it tracks the irreverent beginnings of National Lampoon, and the actor delivers a dynamic turn that is equal parts funny and sad. But Domhnall Gleeson nearly steals the show as his more dry partner Henry Beard, with cameos galore of folks playing famous actors from the time like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models filmmaker David Wain directs with a knowing eye, but takes the drama inherent in Kenney’s tragedy seriously. – Adam Chitwood 22....The Bourne Ultimatum  Directed by: Paul Greengrass Written by: Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi The Bourne trilogy is one of the best action franchises ever made, and it came to a thrilling conclusion with the third—and best—Bourne movie The Bourne Ultimatum. Filmmaker Paul Greengrass returned to direct after making his Bourne debut on The Bourne Supremacy, and this time around Bourne uncovers secrets about how he came to be involved with Operation Treadstone in the first place. It’s a pulse-pounding thriller with jaw-dropping action, and Matt Damon is superb in the lead role. The combination of Damon’s restrained performance and Greengrass’ frenetic camerawork is a match made in heaven, and while Jason Bourne was an extremely disappointing follow-up, Ultimatum wraps this story up in an extremely satisfying manner. 23...Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest  Directed by: Gore Verbinski Written by: Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio Cast: Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Naomie Harris, Jack Davenport, Stellan Skarsgard, and Tom Hollander While nothing can match the pure euphoria of Gore Verbinski’s first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, his two sequels—which he shot back-to-back—get a bad wrap. At World’s End is a bit bloated, but Dead Man’s Chest is a huge, weird blast. Verbinski doubles down on his ambition and takes this franchise to strange places, but it mostly works. The visual effects are incredible, especially as they relate to Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones, and visually this movie is just stunning to look at. If you remember disliking it, give it another shot without the impossible expectations set by the first movie. – Adam Chitwood 24...The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)  Director/Writer: Noah Baumbach Cast: Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Marvel, and Emma Thompson The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) isn’t Noah Baumbach’s first story about a dysfunctional family, but it’s his best one yet. The story follows the Meyerowitz family, specifically sons Danny (Adam Sandler) and Matthew (Ben Stiller) and their strained relationship with their egotistical father Harold (Dustin Hoffman), a retired art professor whose work as a sculptor never brought him the acclaim or recognition he felt he deserved. The film is at turns deeply funny and incredibly heartbreaking as we see how Harold has emotionally damaged his sons in different ways. With Danny, he’s always harping on how great Matthew is while never acknowledging how much Danny does as a son and as a father, and with Matthew, he’s always distracted or demanding credit for making more of a commitment than he did with Danny. It’s insightful, smart, and features outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially Sandler and Stiller, who turn in some of their best work while never leaving behind their comic gifts. Credit is also due to Hoffman who, at 80 years old, is still delivering magnificent performances that make you laugh and seethe in equal measure. – Matt Goldberg 25...Y Tu Mamá También  Director: Alfonso Cuarón Writers: Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón Cast: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal, and Diego Luna Before he made Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Children of Men or Gravity, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón directed the erotic masterpiece Y Tu Mamá También. The Spanish-language coming-of-age drama follows two teenage best friends who go on a road trip with a woman in her late twenties, only to discover much more about each other and themselves. It seems like a trite premise, but the film is lovingly crafted and gorgeously shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. Cuarón captures teenage ennui brilliantly, and while this is a “coming-of-age” story, the focus isn’t entirely on the young boys—Maribel Verdú’s chararacter is fully realized as Cuarón explores the anxieties and fears of adulthood, all set against the backdrop of a sunny, sex-filled roadtrip. This is undoubtedly one of the best films of the 21st century so far. – Adam Chitwood 26...Kubo and the Two Strings  Director: Travis Knight Writers: Marc Haimes and Chris Butler Cast: Art Parkinson, Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei, and Matthew McConaughey The folks at LAIKA Studios have been crafting gorgeous and wholly unique stop-motion animated films for years, but Kubo and the Two Strings might be their most visually stunning yet. The film is a fable of sorts revolving around a young boy named Kubo who must set out on a quest with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to defeat his mother’s corrupted sisters and his power-hungry grandfather. The film at heart is a story about loss and legacy, and the LAIKA team does a tremendous job of keeping the story emotionally grounded as the visuals astound. This is an animated film that doesn’t talk down to its audience, and doesn’t rest on easy fart jokes or sight gags to keep kids’ attention. It’s all about story, and it’s wildly compelling. – Adam Chitwood 27...Jurassic Park  Director: Steven Spielberg Writers: Michael Crichton and David Koepp Cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, B.D. Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, and Wayne Knight If you haven’t seen Jurassic Park, A. What’s your deal? and B. You are in for a treat. Simply put, this is one of Steven Spielberg’s masterpieces, from one of the greatest directors of all time. It’s a story of man’s hubris gone wrong—a tale as old as time, but with dinosaurs. Spielberg’s handle on tone and tension here is masterful, as the film opens by previewing the terror to come before settling the audience into the comfort and wonder of Jurassic Park. Then all hell breaks loose, Laura Dern is a badass, and Jeff Goldblum is unforgettably strange. It’s one of those great films that’s not only perfect, it’s highly rewatchable. So whether it’s your first time or your 50th, you’re guaranteed to enjoy Jurassic Park. – Adam Chitwood 28...Jackie Brown  Director/Writer: Quentin Tarantino Cast: Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Chris Tucker Jackie Brown is the closest Quentin Tarantino has ever come to making a straight “Oscar movie,” and even then it’s very specifically a Tarantino film. Adapting Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch was a surprising choice for Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction follow-up, but Jackie Brown is one of the most character-rich films QT has ever made. Pam Grier stars as a flight attendant who gets wrapped up in a money smuggling scheme, tangling with gangsters, the ATF, and the FBI alike. But at heart, Jackie Brown is a love story between Grier and Robert Forster, and the film shows a refreshingly softer side to Tarantino. There’s violence to be sure, but Jackie Brown remains one of Tarantino’s best—and slightly underrated—films. – Adam Chitwood 29...Mudbound  Directed by: Dee Rees Written by: Virgil Williams and Dee Rees Starring: Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blige, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Rob Morgan, Jason Clarke, and Jonathan Banks One of the best films of 2017, Dee Rees’ southern epic is a sprawling, rapturous piece that looks at the lives of two families, one black and one white, in the 1940s. Although a lesser film would have only looked at one of these families or only one perspective, Mudbound brilliantly examines the hardscrabble life of a white family who owns the land, the black family who must work the land, and the conflicts and kinships that arise from its various members. Aside from the masterful craftsmanship and outstanding performances, Mudbound is a brilliant meditation on race and power that transcends its time and place. While the rural Mississippi setting gives the film its flavor, the inequality and power dynamic feels painfully relevant without ever coming off as preachy or obvious. It’s an absolutely masterpiece, and while it may not be a Netflix film that’s perfect for relaxing, it’s one you’ll be grateful you experienced. – Matt Goldberg And many more.........endlessly |

"body": "Hei folks out there. We’ve all been there. So you’ve decided you’re going to watch a movie. But then there’s the choosing. You’ve gotta find something that fits your mood, especially the weekend moods, or something you and your friend/significant other/couch companion can agree on. You spend hours browsing, and by the time you stumble on something you think maybe is the one, it’s too late, you’re too tired, and indecision has won out.\n\nNever fear, though, because I have thumbed through the library and assembled a list of some of the best films currently available for streaming, so peruse through the highlights below. Maybe the perfect choice is right here.\n\n\n1... The Dark Knight\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Christopher Nolan\n\nWriter: Jonathan Nolan\n\nCast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine\n\nOne of the best superhero movies ever made, full-stop, The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. Christopher Nolan successfully introduced the world to the idea of a “gritty reboot” with Batman Begins, but for the follow-up he crafted an epic, surprising, and downright thrilling story of escalation. Heath Ledger’s take on The Joker is iconic, offering up an enigmatic villain who consistently throws Christian Bale’s Batman for a loop. Then you have Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent, as The Dark Knight crafts a meaty, fulfilling, and heartbreaking arc for this Bruce Wayne foil. On top of all of that, Nolan is essentially making a film about the post-9/11 world—one in which fighting “the bad guys” only leads to bigger and more severe devastation. How do you confront an enemy that just wants to watch the world burn? There’s a reason The Dark Knight has lingered in the public consciousness for a decade, and it still holds up as the best of the best in the face of the bevy of superhero movies that soon followed. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n2...Star Wars: The Last Jedi\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Rian Johnson\n\nCast: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis\n\nLove it or hate it, you have to admit Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a bold film. It’d have been easy for Looper filmmaker Rian Johnson to simply craft a fan service-y Force Awakens sequel that follows all the expected storytelling beats, but instead he leaned hard into character POVs—specifically those of Rey and Kylo Ren, telling a story mostly through their eyes. The result is a wildly thrilling, wholly original, and surprising sequel that delivers entertainment and thematic heft in equal measure. It’s a story about self-doubt, growth, and the spark of a rebellion, and it’s lovingly crafted with show-stopping, iconic visuals like the Throne Room set piece and Holdo’s gasp-inducing moment. Whether you’re watching The Last Jedi for the first for 15th time, you’re getting a whole meal of a movie. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n3...Set It Up\n\n\n\nDirector: Claire Scanlon\n\nWriter: Katie Silberman\n\nCast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs\n\nIf you’re looking for a charming romantic comedy, but don’t want to rewatch something from a previous decade for the umpteenth time, you should definitely give Claire Scanlon’s charming Set It Up a look. The plot follows two beleaguered assistants (Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell) who decided to set up their bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively) in order to just get some precious free time away from their demanding jobs. However, with all their scheming, they start to fall for each other. You can see the romcom beats coming from a mile away, but they’re done so well and so effectively that you won’t mind. Plus, the film sizzles thanks to the outstanding performances from the dazzling Deutch and Powell, who should be the streaming generation’s Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\n4...Ex Machina\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Alex Garland\n\nCast: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Sonoya Mizuno\n\nAlex Garland made a splash with his screenplays for films like 28 Days Later and Dredd, but his directorial debut Ex Machina is really something else. Domhnall Gleeson plays a computer programmer named Caleb working for a search engine company who is invited to the isolated home of the company’s CEO, an enigmatic Steve Jobs-like figure named Nathan (Oscar Isaac). He’s been brought to this remote compound to interact with a humanoid robot that Nathan built called Ava (Alicia Vikander), and to essentially perform a Turing test. But secrets lurk in the dark halls of Nathan’s compound, and within this sci-fi story Garland explores issues relating to A.I., toxic masculinity, and gender dynamics in fascinating ways. It’s a thrilling, surprising, and wholly unique piece of cinema that’s impossible to shake long after the credits have rolled. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n5...The 40-Year-Old Virgin\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Judd Apatow\n\nWritten by: Steve Carell and Judd Apatow\n\nCast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Romany Malco, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Kat Dennings, and Mindy Kaling\n\nWhen The 40-Year-Old-Virgin was released in 2005, it was a huge hit. But in hindsight we can clearly see this was also a game-changer for the comedy genre. Judd Apatow’s heavily improvised style brought a looseness to the film from scene to scene, and the film’s tone—which was equal parts raunchy and heartwarming—felt unique. You usually had your sex comedies and your emotional romantic comedies separate, but here Apatow combined the two sensibilities and had the perfect actor for the titular lead: Steve Carell. The result is a hilarious, very NSFW, but also oddly sweet and sensitive story of a mild-mannered 40-year-old man looking to get laid who ends up finding love, complete with outstanding supporting performances by folks like Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. This one holds up. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n6....Thor: Ragnarok\n\n\n\nDirector: Taika Waititi\n\nWriters: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher Yost\n\nCast: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, and Taika Waititi\n\nThor: Ragnarok is not just one of the best Marvel Studios movies so far, it’s indicative of how the MCU is beginning to evolve a decade into its run. For the third standalone Thor film, director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) essentially breaks the character down and builds him back up again, anew. Gone are Thor’s long locks, self-seriousness, and pomposity. Instead we get a rockin’ haircut and sense of humor, and at last Chris Hemsworth’s magnetic charisma shines through. Ragnarok is an absolute blast of a film, a movie that never takes itself seriously and is basically an eye-popping thrill ride from beginning to end. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n7...Boogie Nights\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson\n\nCast: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall, Thomas Jane, Alfred Molina, and Ricky Jay\n\nWriter/director Paul Thomas Anderson is certainly one of the most ambitious filmmakers working today, but his 1997 magnum opus Boogie Nights remains not only one of his best movies, but a groundbreaking piece of work full-stop. Anderson chronicles the rise and fall of an energetic young man in the 1970s with a massive…talent. Casting Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler was a stroke of genius, and the way Anderson fashions the burgeoning porn industry into a dysfunctional family drama is downright masterful. And that cast, man alive. Each and every ensemble member shines—when you have a film where Philip Seymour Hoffman isn’t the scene-stealer, you know you’ve got something special. Boogie Nights remains as entertaining, heartbreaking, and enthralling as ever almost two decades after its release. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n8...Coco\n\n\n\nDirector: Lee Unkrich\n\nWriters: Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich\n\nCast: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjmain Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renee Victor, Ana Ofelia Murguia, Edward James Olmos\n\nAlthough Pixar isn’t the unstoppable force it once was, they can still put together a great movie from time to time and Coco is definitely the studio operating at the top of its game. While it certainly falls into the familiar Pixar tropes—a buddy movie where two characters go on a trip of some kind—Lee Unkrich’s film stands apart due to its deep and abiding love for Mexican culture and putting the importance of family at the core of the story.\n\nThe movie boasts excellent music, a heartwarming story, memorable characters, and eye-popping design as its leads traverse the Land of the Dead on Dia de Los Muertos. Although I thought the film would be enjoyable, I didn’t expect it to eventually move me to tears. This is a movie you need to see with your family. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n9...Her\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Spike Jonze\n\nCast: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt\n\nFilmmaker Spike Jonze’s 2013 film Her garnered a few snickers when the premise was revealed: A story of a man who falls in love with his operating system. But when folks got a look at the film, they weren’t laughing. Her is one of the best films of the decade—a deeply felt, gorgeous, heartbreaking story of love, loneliness, and what it means to be a human on the planet Earth. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a phenomenal lead performance, and Scarlett Johansson is magnificent in the voice role of Samantha. The cinematography by Hoye van Hoytema is warm and inviting, the score by Arcade Fire is immensely moving. This is a film that’s pretty much perfect from top to bottom, and by the end you my find yourself in a puddle of tears over just how darn beautiful the whole thing is. Do yourself a favor and give Her a shot. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n10...Se7en\n\n\n\nDirector: David Fincher\n\nWriter: Andrew Kevin Walker\n\nCast: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey\n\nThe movie that put David Fincher on the map, Se7en remains a taut, twisted thriller. The story follows detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) as they hunt a serial killer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his killings. The movie has everyone involved playing at the top of their game in a movie that doesn’t shy away from bleakness or the darkness in humanity. The movie also shows that even with his second film, Fincher was already a master on the rise of cinema, and it’s remarkable to see how far he’s come when Se7en is already such an assured, confident picture. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n11...L.A. Confidential\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Curtis Hanson\n\nWritten by: Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson\n\nCast: Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, James Cromwell, and David Strathairn\n\nThe 1997 noir L.A. Confidential is kind of a perfect movie. In the vein of Chinatown or Double Indemnity, this is classic noir through and through but brought to the screen with vigor, style, and maximum emotional impact by director Curtis Hanson. Based on the James Ellroy novel of the same name, the film stars Guy Pearce as a do-good police sergeant (Guy Pearce) in 1950s L.A. who teams up with a burly cop (Russell Crowe) to find the truth to a deadly mob murder. Police corruption and Hollywood scandal are front and center, but the film never hits a false note. It introduced audiences at large to Pearce and Crowe, both of whom who soar as a result, and the Best Picture nominee was so impactful it inspired an entire video game in L.A. Noire! – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n12...Enemy\n\n\n\nDirector: Denis Villeneuve\n\nWriter: Javier Gullón\n\nCast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, and Isabella Rossellini\n\nBefore filmmaker Denis Villeneuve blew minds with Blade Runner 2049 or Arrival, he made a head-spinning psychological thriller called Enemy featuring two of Jake Gyllenhal’s best performances. Yes, two—Enemy revolves around a solitary college history professor who leads a mundane life, only to discover an actor who looks exactly like him. He begins investigating the dopelganger’s life, and reality itself appears to bend as the professor spirals further and further down the rabbit hole. This film is not for everyone—it’s the weirdest thing Villeneuve has made thus far, but it’s no less gorgeous and involving than the rest of his oeuvre. It also features one of the scariest shots ever put to film. Give it a spin and see if you can figure this one out. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n13...The Iron Giant\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Brad Bird\n\nWriter: Tim McCanlies\n\nCast: Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Christopher McDonald, and Vin Diesel\n\nA flop upon its initial release back in 1999, The Iron Giant has become a cult classic over the year and eventually found its audience. Brad Bird’s animated adaptation of Ted Hughes’ book follows young Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal), a smart but lonely kid during the Cold War who stumbles across a giant metal robot from outer space. Hogarth befriends the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and teaches him about life and death as well as what it means to be a hero rather than a weapon. It’s a beautiful story, and it’s no wonder that the film has found a special place in the hearts of viewers. If you still haven’t seen it, clear your evening plans, and watch it as soon as possible. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n14...The Departed\n\n\n\nDirector: Martin Scorsese\n\nWriter: William Nicholson\n\nCast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, and James Badge Dale\n\nFilmmaker Martin Scorsese’s 2006 crime drama The Departed is the film that finally won him the Best Director Oscar, but he was simply trying to have a good time. After serious epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York, Scorsese admitted he opted to make a commercial film, choosing to remake the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs with an all-star cast. The result is a tremendously entertaining crime drama packed with stellar performances, and led by one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best turns ever. The film not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n15...The Ritual\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: David Bruckner\n\nWriter: Joe Barton\n\nCast: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton\n\nHorror movies are always a gamble–some are great, and deliver more than expected, while others simply tread well-worn territory. The Ritual falls into the former category, as director David Bruckner takes a story about male friendships and growing older (and further apart) and packages it into a terrifying, twisty “monster in the woods” horror film. The film revolves around four friends who go on a hiking trip in Sweden to honor their friend Rob, who was killed six months earlier during a convenience store robbery. But when they take a shortcut through some woods (terrible idea), they find themselves haunted by a malevolent creature. The performances really anchor this thing as a character-rich piece, specifically from lead Rafe Spall, and the creature design itself is absolutely unique (and frightening). The final result is a horror movie that’s downright scary, surprising, and honestly quite thoughtful. It’s the whole package. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n16...Forgetting Sarah Marshall\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Nicholas Stoller\n\nWriter: Jason Segel\n\nCast: Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Bill Hader\n\nThe 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall is secretly one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Produced by Judd Apatow, the film saw Freaks and Geeks breakout Jason Segel writing a script inspired by his own experiences. The story revolves around a guy who gets dumped by his famous girlfriend (Kristen Bell) and heads to Hawaii to try and forget about his troubles. As it turns out his ex and her new rock star lover (Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort. Hilarity and male nudity ensue, but what makes Forgetting Sarah Marshall linger is the sensitivity at the heart of the film. It’s ultimately an incredibly sweet story bolstered by tremendous performances that also happens to feature a Dracula musical. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n17...Heat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected/Written by: Michael Mann\n\nCast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Wes Studi, Jon Voight, Ted Levine, and Natalie Portman\n\nFilmmaker Michael Mann’s crime epic Heat is a must-watch classic, through and through. The film largely influenced Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, as it’s a crime thriller in which the city is as much a character as the various people involved. Robert De Niro plays a career criminal whose crew gets in hot water after a heist goes wrong. Al Pacino plays the LAPD lieutenant hunting him down. And since this is a Michael Mann movie, there are various other character-rich plot threads going on at the same time. De Niro and Pacino famously only have one scene together, but boy does Mann make it count. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n18...Moonrise Kingdom\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Wes Anderson\n\nWriters: Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola\n\nCast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Jason Schwarztman, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton\n\nWes Anderson’s ode to summer lovin’ is quite possibly his most romantic film yet, as the filmmaker perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be young and head-over-heels in love. It’s a delightful picture with an undercurrent of sadness running throughout, and it features some of the most stunning production design of Anderson’s oeuvre—and that’s saying something. Moonrise Kingdom also features the anachronistic casting of Bruce Willis and Edward Norton, who turn out to be absolute perfect fits for Anderson’s brand of auteurism. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n19...Just Friends\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Roger Kumble\n\nWriter: Adam Davis\n\nCast: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, and Chris Klein\n\nNow that Ryan Reynolds is a bona fide action hero, let’s not forget the guy is also an incredibly talented comedic actor. Roger Kumble’s underrated romantic comedy Just Friends is a terrific showcase for Reynolds’ skills, as the dichotomy between his impossibly good looks and goofy comedic sensibility is put to good use as a formerly chubby, sensitive-type who is now a trim, successful music producer. Anna Faris also turns in great work here as a play on a Britney Spears-esque pop star, and she and Reynolds have fantastic chemistry. The film allows Reynolds to flex his physical comedy skills quite a bit and also accentuates his penchant for perfect timing, especially when it comes to the running gag with his character’s brother. And the “I Swear” lip sync is a fitting capper to this goofy, sweet, incredibly entertaining comedy. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n20...Lincoln\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Steven Spielberg\n\nWriter: Tony Kushner\n\nCast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hal Holbrook\n\nThere are those that will tell you Lincoln is “minor Spielberg,” but those people are wrong. This 2012 drama had long been a passion project of Steven Spielberg’s, and as realized is a thoughtful, insightful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of one of the greatest American presidents. The film doesn’t take the “cradle to grave” route but instead focuses on Lincoln’s efforts to pass the 13th Amendment. In doing so, Spielberg creates one of the best films about political process ever made, while also digging deep into the contradictions in Lincoln himself. As portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis, it’s a complex, fascinating portrayal of a man trying to do best by himself and his country, but who doesn’t always have the right answers. The film is far deeper than a simple “that was nice” story, and is West Wing-esque in its compelling chronicle of the political process. In short, it’s masterful, and it’s absolutely top tier Spielberg. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n21...A Futile and Stupid Gesture\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: David Wain\n\nWritten by: John Aboud and Michael Colton\n\nCast: Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Martin Mull, Emmy Rossum, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Matt Lucas, Natasha Lyonne, Ed Helms, Max Greenfield, Paul Scheer, and Jon Daly\n\nIf you’re a comedy nerd, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a must-watch. The Netflix original film chronicles the origins of National Lampoon magazine through the eyes of co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte), a hilarious free spirit who would go on to co-write Animal House and Caddyshack before meeting an untimely end. Forte is the driving force of the film as it tracks the irreverent beginnings of National Lampoon, and the actor delivers a dynamic turn that is equal parts funny and sad. But Domhnall Gleeson nearly steals the show as his more dry partner Henry Beard, with cameos galore of folks playing famous actors from the time like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models filmmaker David Wain directs with a knowing eye, but takes the drama inherent in Kenney’s tragedy seriously. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n\n22....The Bourne Ultimatum\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Paul Greengrass\n\nWritten by: Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi\n\nThe Bourne trilogy is one of the best action franchises ever made, and it came to a thrilling conclusion with the third—and best—Bourne movie The Bourne Ultimatum. Filmmaker Paul Greengrass returned to direct after making his Bourne debut on The Bourne Supremacy, and this time around Bourne uncovers secrets about how he came to be involved with Operation Treadstone in the first place. It’s a pulse-pounding thriller with jaw-dropping action, and Matt Damon is superb in the lead role. The combination of Damon’s restrained performance and Greengrass’ frenetic camerawork is a match made in heaven, and while Jason Bourne was an extremely disappointing follow-up, Ultimatum wraps this story up in an extremely satisfying manner.\n\n\n\n23...Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Gore Verbinski\n\nWritten by: Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio\n\nCast: Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Naomie Harris, Jack Davenport, Stellan Skarsgard, and Tom Hollander\n\nWhile nothing can match the pure euphoria of Gore Verbinski’s first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, his two sequels—which he shot back-to-back—get a bad wrap. At World’s End is a bit bloated, but Dead Man’s Chest is a huge, weird blast. Verbinski doubles down on his ambition and takes this franchise to strange places, but it mostly works. The visual effects are incredible, especially as they relate to Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones, and visually this movie is just stunning to look at. If you remember disliking it, give it another shot without the impossible expectations set by the first movie. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n24...The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Noah Baumbach\n\nCast: Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Marvel, and Emma Thompson\n\nThe Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) isn’t Noah Baumbach’s first story about a dysfunctional family, but it’s his best one yet. The story follows the Meyerowitz family, specifically sons Danny (Adam Sandler) and Matthew (Ben Stiller) and their strained relationship with their egotistical father Harold (Dustin Hoffman), a retired art professor whose work as a sculptor never brought him the acclaim or recognition he felt he deserved.\n\nThe film is at turns deeply funny and incredibly heartbreaking as we see how Harold has emotionally damaged his sons in different ways. With Danny, he’s always harping on how great Matthew is while never acknowledging how much Danny does as a son and as a father, and with Matthew, he’s always distracted or demanding credit for making more of a commitment than he did with Danny. It’s insightful, smart, and features outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially Sandler and Stiller, who turn in some of their best work while never leaving behind their comic gifts. Credit is also due to Hoffman who, at 80 years old, is still delivering magnificent performances that make you laugh and seethe in equal measure. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\n25...Y Tu Mamá También\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Alfonso Cuarón\n\nWriters: Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón\n\nCast: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal, and Diego Luna\n\nBefore he made Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Children of Men or Gravity, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón directed the erotic masterpiece Y Tu Mamá También. The Spanish-language coming-of-age drama follows two teenage best friends who go on a road trip with a woman in her late twenties, only to discover much more about each other and themselves. It seems like a trite premise, but the film is lovingly crafted and gorgeously shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. Cuarón captures teenage ennui brilliantly, and while this is a “coming-of-age” story, the focus isn’t entirely on the young boys—Maribel Verdú’s chararacter is fully realized as Cuarón explores the anxieties and fears of adulthood, all set against the backdrop of a sunny, sex-filled roadtrip. This is undoubtedly one of the best films of the 21st century so far. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n26...Kubo and the Two Strings\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Travis Knight\n\nWriters: Marc Haimes and Chris Butler\n\nCast: Art Parkinson, Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei, and Matthew McConaughey\n\nThe folks at LAIKA Studios have been crafting gorgeous and wholly unique stop-motion animated films for years, but Kubo and the Two Strings might be their most visually stunning yet. The film is a fable of sorts revolving around a young boy named Kubo who must set out on a quest with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to defeat his mother’s corrupted sisters and his power-hungry grandfather. The film at heart is a story about loss and legacy, and the LAIKA team does a tremendous job of keeping the story emotionally grounded as the visuals astound. This is an animated film that doesn’t talk down to its audience, and doesn’t rest on easy fart jokes or sight gags to keep kids’ attention. It’s all about story, and it’s wildly compelling. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n27...Jurassic Park\n\n\n\nDirector: Steven Spielberg\n\nWriters: Michael Crichton and David Koepp\n\nCast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, B.D. Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, and Wayne Knight\n\nIf you haven’t seen Jurassic Park, A. What’s your deal? and B. You are in for a treat. Simply put, this is one of Steven Spielberg’s masterpieces, from one of the greatest directors of all time. It’s a story of man’s hubris gone wrong—a tale as old as time, but with dinosaurs. Spielberg’s handle on tone and tension here is masterful, as the film opens by previewing the terror to come before settling the audience into the comfort and wonder of Jurassic Park. Then all hell breaks loose, Laura Dern is a badass, and Jeff Goldblum is unforgettably strange. It’s one of those great films that’s not only perfect, it’s highly rewatchable. So whether it’s your first time or your 50th, you’re guaranteed to enjoy Jurassic Park. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n28...Jackie Brown\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Quentin Tarantino\n\nCast: Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Chris Tucker\n\nJackie Brown is the closest Quentin Tarantino has ever come to making a straight “Oscar movie,” and even then it’s very specifically a Tarantino film. Adapting Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch was a surprising choice for Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction follow-up, but Jackie Brown is one of the most character-rich films QT has ever made. Pam Grier stars as a flight attendant who gets wrapped up in a money smuggling scheme, tangling with gangsters, the ATF, and the FBI alike. But at heart, Jackie Brown is a love story between Grier and Robert Forster, and the film shows a refreshingly softer side to Tarantino. There’s violence to be sure, but Jackie Brown remains one of Tarantino’s best—and slightly underrated—films. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n29...Mudbound\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Dee Rees\n\nWritten by: Virgil Williams and Dee Rees\n\nStarring: Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blige, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Rob Morgan, Jason Clarke, and Jonathan Banks\n\nOne of the best films of 2017, Dee Rees’ southern epic is a sprawling, rapturous piece that looks at the lives of two families, one black and one white, in the 1940s. Although a lesser film would have only looked at one of these families or only one perspective, Mudbound brilliantly examines the hardscrabble life of a white family who owns the land, the black family who must work the land, and the conflicts and kinships that arise from its various members. Aside from the masterful craftsmanship and outstanding performances, Mudbound is a brilliant meditation on race and power that transcends its time and place. While the rural Mississippi setting gives the film its flavor, the inequality and power dynamic feels painfully relevant without ever coming off as preachy or obvious. It’s an absolutely masterpiece, and while it may not be a Netflix film that’s perfect for relaxing, it’s one you’ll be grateful you experienced. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\nAnd many more.........endlessly",

| title | The Best Movies you and your friends can spend the weekend with. |
| body | Hei folks out there. We’ve all been there. So you’ve decided you’re going to watch a movie. But then there’s the choosing. You’ve gotta find something that fits your mood, especially the weekend moods, or something you and your friend/significant other/couch companion can agree on. You spend hours browsing, and by the time you stumble on something you think maybe is the one, it’s too late, you’re too tired, and indecision has won out. Never fear, though, because I have thumbed through the library and assembled a list of some of the best films currently available for streaming, so peruse through the highlights below. Maybe the perfect choice is right here. 1... The Dark Knight  Director: Christopher Nolan Writer: Jonathan Nolan Cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine One of the best superhero movies ever made, full-stop, The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. Christopher Nolan successfully introduced the world to the idea of a “gritty reboot” with Batman Begins, but for the follow-up he crafted an epic, surprising, and downright thrilling story of escalation. Heath Ledger’s take on The Joker is iconic, offering up an enigmatic villain who consistently throws Christian Bale’s Batman for a loop. Then you have Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent, as The Dark Knight crafts a meaty, fulfilling, and heartbreaking arc for this Bruce Wayne foil. On top of all of that, Nolan is essentially making a film about the post-9/11 world—one in which fighting “the bad guys” only leads to bigger and more severe devastation. How do you confront an enemy that just wants to watch the world burn? There’s a reason The Dark Knight has lingered in the public consciousness for a decade, and it still holds up as the best of the best in the face of the bevy of superhero movies that soon followed. – Adam Chitwood 2...Star Wars: The Last Jedi  Director/Writer: Rian Johnson Cast: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis Love it or hate it, you have to admit Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a bold film. It’d have been easy for Looper filmmaker Rian Johnson to simply craft a fan service-y Force Awakens sequel that follows all the expected storytelling beats, but instead he leaned hard into character POVs—specifically those of Rey and Kylo Ren, telling a story mostly through their eyes. The result is a wildly thrilling, wholly original, and surprising sequel that delivers entertainment and thematic heft in equal measure. It’s a story about self-doubt, growth, and the spark of a rebellion, and it’s lovingly crafted with show-stopping, iconic visuals like the Throne Room set piece and Holdo’s gasp-inducing moment. Whether you’re watching The Last Jedi for the first for 15th time, you’re getting a whole meal of a movie. – Adam Chitwood 3...Set It Up  Director: Claire Scanlon Writer: Katie Silberman Cast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs If you’re looking for a charming romantic comedy, but don’t want to rewatch something from a previous decade for the umpteenth time, you should definitely give Claire Scanlon’s charming Set It Up a look. The plot follows two beleaguered assistants (Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell) who decided to set up their bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively) in order to just get some precious free time away from their demanding jobs. However, with all their scheming, they start to fall for each other. You can see the romcom beats coming from a mile away, but they’re done so well and so effectively that you won’t mind. Plus, the film sizzles thanks to the outstanding performances from the dazzling Deutch and Powell, who should be the streaming generation’s Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. – Matt Goldberg 4...Ex Machina  Director/Writer: Alex Garland Cast: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Sonoya Mizuno Alex Garland made a splash with his screenplays for films like 28 Days Later and Dredd, but his directorial debut Ex Machina is really something else. Domhnall Gleeson plays a computer programmer named Caleb working for a search engine company who is invited to the isolated home of the company’s CEO, an enigmatic Steve Jobs-like figure named Nathan (Oscar Isaac). He’s been brought to this remote compound to interact with a humanoid robot that Nathan built called Ava (Alicia Vikander), and to essentially perform a Turing test. But secrets lurk in the dark halls of Nathan’s compound, and within this sci-fi story Garland explores issues relating to A.I., toxic masculinity, and gender dynamics in fascinating ways. It’s a thrilling, surprising, and wholly unique piece of cinema that’s impossible to shake long after the credits have rolled. – Adam Chitwood 5...The 40-Year-Old Virgin  Directed by: Judd Apatow Written by: Steve Carell and Judd Apatow Cast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Romany Malco, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Kat Dennings, and Mindy Kaling When The 40-Year-Old-Virgin was released in 2005, it was a huge hit. But in hindsight we can clearly see this was also a game-changer for the comedy genre. Judd Apatow’s heavily improvised style brought a looseness to the film from scene to scene, and the film’s tone—which was equal parts raunchy and heartwarming—felt unique. You usually had your sex comedies and your emotional romantic comedies separate, but here Apatow combined the two sensibilities and had the perfect actor for the titular lead: Steve Carell. The result is a hilarious, very NSFW, but also oddly sweet and sensitive story of a mild-mannered 40-year-old man looking to get laid who ends up finding love, complete with outstanding supporting performances by folks like Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. This one holds up. – Adam Chitwood 6....Thor: Ragnarok  Director: Taika Waititi Writers: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher Yost Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, and Taika Waititi Thor: Ragnarok is not just one of the best Marvel Studios movies so far, it’s indicative of how the MCU is beginning to evolve a decade into its run. For the third standalone Thor film, director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) essentially breaks the character down and builds him back up again, anew. Gone are Thor’s long locks, self-seriousness, and pomposity. Instead we get a rockin’ haircut and sense of humor, and at last Chris Hemsworth’s magnetic charisma shines through. Ragnarok is an absolute blast of a film, a movie that never takes itself seriously and is basically an eye-popping thrill ride from beginning to end. – Adam Chitwood 7...Boogie Nights  Director/Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall, Thomas Jane, Alfred Molina, and Ricky Jay Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson is certainly one of the most ambitious filmmakers working today, but his 1997 magnum opus Boogie Nights remains not only one of his best movies, but a groundbreaking piece of work full-stop. Anderson chronicles the rise and fall of an energetic young man in the 1970s with a massive…talent. Casting Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler was a stroke of genius, and the way Anderson fashions the burgeoning porn industry into a dysfunctional family drama is downright masterful. And that cast, man alive. Each and every ensemble member shines—when you have a film where Philip Seymour Hoffman isn’t the scene-stealer, you know you’ve got something special. Boogie Nights remains as entertaining, heartbreaking, and enthralling as ever almost two decades after its release. – Adam Chitwood 8...Coco  Director: Lee Unkrich Writers: Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich Cast: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjmain Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renee Victor, Ana Ofelia Murguia, Edward James Olmos Although Pixar isn’t the unstoppable force it once was, they can still put together a great movie from time to time and Coco is definitely the studio operating at the top of its game. While it certainly falls into the familiar Pixar tropes—a buddy movie where two characters go on a trip of some kind—Lee Unkrich’s film stands apart due to its deep and abiding love for Mexican culture and putting the importance of family at the core of the story. The movie boasts excellent music, a heartwarming story, memorable characters, and eye-popping design as its leads traverse the Land of the Dead on Dia de Los Muertos. Although I thought the film would be enjoyable, I didn’t expect it to eventually move me to tears. This is a movie you need to see with your family. – Matt Goldberg 9...Her  Director/Writer: Spike Jonze Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt Filmmaker Spike Jonze’s 2013 film Her garnered a few snickers when the premise was revealed: A story of a man who falls in love with his operating system. But when folks got a look at the film, they weren’t laughing. Her is one of the best films of the decade—a deeply felt, gorgeous, heartbreaking story of love, loneliness, and what it means to be a human on the planet Earth. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a phenomenal lead performance, and Scarlett Johansson is magnificent in the voice role of Samantha. The cinematography by Hoye van Hoytema is warm and inviting, the score by Arcade Fire is immensely moving. This is a film that’s pretty much perfect from top to bottom, and by the end you my find yourself in a puddle of tears over just how darn beautiful the whole thing is. Do yourself a favor and give Her a shot. – Adam Chitwood 10...Se7en  Director: David Fincher Writer: Andrew Kevin Walker Cast: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey The movie that put David Fincher on the map, Se7en remains a taut, twisted thriller. The story follows detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) as they hunt a serial killer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his killings. The movie has everyone involved playing at the top of their game in a movie that doesn’t shy away from bleakness or the darkness in humanity. The movie also shows that even with his second film, Fincher was already a master on the rise of cinema, and it’s remarkable to see how far he’s come when Se7en is already such an assured, confident picture. – Matt Goldberg 11...L.A. Confidential  Directed by: Curtis Hanson Written by: Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson Cast: Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, James Cromwell, and David Strathairn The 1997 noir L.A. Confidential is kind of a perfect movie. In the vein of Chinatown or Double Indemnity, this is classic noir through and through but brought to the screen with vigor, style, and maximum emotional impact by director Curtis Hanson. Based on the James Ellroy novel of the same name, the film stars Guy Pearce as a do-good police sergeant (Guy Pearce) in 1950s L.A. who teams up with a burly cop (Russell Crowe) to find the truth to a deadly mob murder. Police corruption and Hollywood scandal are front and center, but the film never hits a false note. It introduced audiences at large to Pearce and Crowe, both of whom who soar as a result, and the Best Picture nominee was so impactful it inspired an entire video game in L.A. Noire! – Adam Chitwood 12...Enemy  Director: Denis Villeneuve Writer: Javier Gullón Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, and Isabella Rossellini Before filmmaker Denis Villeneuve blew minds with Blade Runner 2049 or Arrival, he made a head-spinning psychological thriller called Enemy featuring two of Jake Gyllenhal’s best performances. Yes, two—Enemy revolves around a solitary college history professor who leads a mundane life, only to discover an actor who looks exactly like him. He begins investigating the dopelganger’s life, and reality itself appears to bend as the professor spirals further and further down the rabbit hole. This film is not for everyone—it’s the weirdest thing Villeneuve has made thus far, but it’s no less gorgeous and involving than the rest of his oeuvre. It also features one of the scariest shots ever put to film. Give it a spin and see if you can figure this one out. – Adam Chitwood 13...The Iron Giant  Director: Brad Bird Writer: Tim McCanlies Cast: Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Christopher McDonald, and Vin Diesel A flop upon its initial release back in 1999, The Iron Giant has become a cult classic over the year and eventually found its audience. Brad Bird’s animated adaptation of Ted Hughes’ book follows young Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal), a smart but lonely kid during the Cold War who stumbles across a giant metal robot from outer space. Hogarth befriends the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and teaches him about life and death as well as what it means to be a hero rather than a weapon. It’s a beautiful story, and it’s no wonder that the film has found a special place in the hearts of viewers. If you still haven’t seen it, clear your evening plans, and watch it as soon as possible. – Matt Goldberg 14...The Departed  Director: Martin Scorsese Writer: William Nicholson Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, and James Badge Dale Filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s 2006 crime drama The Departed is the film that finally won him the Best Director Oscar, but he was simply trying to have a good time. After serious epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York, Scorsese admitted he opted to make a commercial film, choosing to remake the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs with an all-star cast. The result is a tremendously entertaining crime drama packed with stellar performances, and led by one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best turns ever. The film not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. – Adam Chitwood 15...The Ritual  Director: David Bruckner Writer: Joe Barton Cast: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton Horror movies are always a gamble–some are great, and deliver more than expected, while others simply tread well-worn territory. The Ritual falls into the former category, as director David Bruckner takes a story about male friendships and growing older (and further apart) and packages it into a terrifying, twisty “monster in the woods” horror film. The film revolves around four friends who go on a hiking trip in Sweden to honor their friend Rob, who was killed six months earlier during a convenience store robbery. But when they take a shortcut through some woods (terrible idea), they find themselves haunted by a malevolent creature. The performances really anchor this thing as a character-rich piece, specifically from lead Rafe Spall, and the creature design itself is absolutely unique (and frightening). The final result is a horror movie that’s downright scary, surprising, and honestly quite thoughtful. It’s the whole package. – Adam Chitwood 16...Forgetting Sarah Marshall  Director: Nicholas Stoller Writer: Jason Segel Cast: Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Bill Hader The 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall is secretly one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Produced by Judd Apatow, the film saw Freaks and Geeks breakout Jason Segel writing a script inspired by his own experiences. The story revolves around a guy who gets dumped by his famous girlfriend (Kristen Bell) and heads to Hawaii to try and forget about his troubles. As it turns out his ex and her new rock star lover (Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort. Hilarity and male nudity ensue, but what makes Forgetting Sarah Marshall linger is the sensitivity at the heart of the film. It’s ultimately an incredibly sweet story bolstered by tremendous performances that also happens to feature a Dracula musical. – Adam Chitwood 17...Heat  Directed/Written by: Michael Mann Cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Wes Studi, Jon Voight, Ted Levine, and Natalie Portman Filmmaker Michael Mann’s crime epic Heat is a must-watch classic, through and through. The film largely influenced Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, as it’s a crime thriller in which the city is as much a character as the various people involved. Robert De Niro plays a career criminal whose crew gets in hot water after a heist goes wrong. Al Pacino plays the LAPD lieutenant hunting him down. And since this is a Michael Mann movie, there are various other character-rich plot threads going on at the same time. De Niro and Pacino famously only have one scene together, but boy does Mann make it count. – Adam Chitwood 18...Moonrise Kingdom  Director: Wes Anderson Writers: Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola Cast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Jason Schwarztman, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton Wes Anderson’s ode to summer lovin’ is quite possibly his most romantic film yet, as the filmmaker perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be young and head-over-heels in love. It’s a delightful picture with an undercurrent of sadness running throughout, and it features some of the most stunning production design of Anderson’s oeuvre—and that’s saying something. Moonrise Kingdom also features the anachronistic casting of Bruce Willis and Edward Norton, who turn out to be absolute perfect fits for Anderson’s brand of auteurism. – Adam Chitwood 19...Just Friends  Director: Roger Kumble Writer: Adam Davis Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, and Chris Klein Now that Ryan Reynolds is a bona fide action hero, let’s not forget the guy is also an incredibly talented comedic actor. Roger Kumble’s underrated romantic comedy Just Friends is a terrific showcase for Reynolds’ skills, as the dichotomy between his impossibly good looks and goofy comedic sensibility is put to good use as a formerly chubby, sensitive-type who is now a trim, successful music producer. Anna Faris also turns in great work here as a play on a Britney Spears-esque pop star, and she and Reynolds have fantastic chemistry. The film allows Reynolds to flex his physical comedy skills quite a bit and also accentuates his penchant for perfect timing, especially when it comes to the running gag with his character’s brother. And the “I Swear” lip sync is a fitting capper to this goofy, sweet, incredibly entertaining comedy. – Adam Chitwood 20...Lincoln  Director: Steven Spielberg Writer: Tony Kushner Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hal Holbrook There are those that will tell you Lincoln is “minor Spielberg,” but those people are wrong. This 2012 drama had long been a passion project of Steven Spielberg’s, and as realized is a thoughtful, insightful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of one of the greatest American presidents. The film doesn’t take the “cradle to grave” route but instead focuses on Lincoln’s efforts to pass the 13th Amendment. In doing so, Spielberg creates one of the best films about political process ever made, while also digging deep into the contradictions in Lincoln himself. As portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis, it’s a complex, fascinating portrayal of a man trying to do best by himself and his country, but who doesn’t always have the right answers. The film is far deeper than a simple “that was nice” story, and is West Wing-esque in its compelling chronicle of the political process. In short, it’s masterful, and it’s absolutely top tier Spielberg. – Adam Chitwood 21...A Futile and Stupid Gesture  Directed by: David Wain Written by: John Aboud and Michael Colton Cast: Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Martin Mull, Emmy Rossum, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Matt Lucas, Natasha Lyonne, Ed Helms, Max Greenfield, Paul Scheer, and Jon Daly If you’re a comedy nerd, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a must-watch. The Netflix original film chronicles the origins of National Lampoon magazine through the eyes of co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte), a hilarious free spirit who would go on to co-write Animal House and Caddyshack before meeting an untimely end. Forte is the driving force of the film as it tracks the irreverent beginnings of National Lampoon, and the actor delivers a dynamic turn that is equal parts funny and sad. But Domhnall Gleeson nearly steals the show as his more dry partner Henry Beard, with cameos galore of folks playing famous actors from the time like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models filmmaker David Wain directs with a knowing eye, but takes the drama inherent in Kenney’s tragedy seriously. – Adam Chitwood 22....The Bourne Ultimatum  Directed by: Paul Greengrass Written by: Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi The Bourne trilogy is one of the best action franchises ever made, and it came to a thrilling conclusion with the third—and best—Bourne movie The Bourne Ultimatum. Filmmaker Paul Greengrass returned to direct after making his Bourne debut on The Bourne Supremacy, and this time around Bourne uncovers secrets about how he came to be involved with Operation Treadstone in the first place. It’s a pulse-pounding thriller with jaw-dropping action, and Matt Damon is superb in the lead role. The combination of Damon’s restrained performance and Greengrass’ frenetic camerawork is a match made in heaven, and while Jason Bourne was an extremely disappointing follow-up, Ultimatum wraps this story up in an extremely satisfying manner. 23...Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest  Directed by: Gore Verbinski Written by: Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio Cast: Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Naomie Harris, Jack Davenport, Stellan Skarsgard, and Tom Hollander While nothing can match the pure euphoria of Gore Verbinski’s first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, his two sequels—which he shot back-to-back—get a bad wrap. At World’s End is a bit bloated, but Dead Man’s Chest is a huge, weird blast. Verbinski doubles down on his ambition and takes this franchise to strange places, but it mostly works. The visual effects are incredible, especially as they relate to Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones, and visually this movie is just stunning to look at. If you remember disliking it, give it another shot without the impossible expectations set by the first movie. – Adam Chitwood 24...The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)  Director/Writer: Noah Baumbach Cast: Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Marvel, and Emma Thompson The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) isn’t Noah Baumbach’s first story about a dysfunctional family, but it’s his best one yet. The story follows the Meyerowitz family, specifically sons Danny (Adam Sandler) and Matthew (Ben Stiller) and their strained relationship with their egotistical father Harold (Dustin Hoffman), a retired art professor whose work as a sculptor never brought him the acclaim or recognition he felt he deserved. The film is at turns deeply funny and incredibly heartbreaking as we see how Harold has emotionally damaged his sons in different ways. With Danny, he’s always harping on how great Matthew is while never acknowledging how much Danny does as a son and as a father, and with Matthew, he’s always distracted or demanding credit for making more of a commitment than he did with Danny. It’s insightful, smart, and features outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially Sandler and Stiller, who turn in some of their best work while never leaving behind their comic gifts. Credit is also due to Hoffman who, at 80 years old, is still delivering magnificent performances that make you laugh and seethe in equal measure. – Matt Goldberg 25...Y Tu Mamá También  Director: Alfonso Cuarón Writers: Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón Cast: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal, and Diego Luna Before he made Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Children of Men or Gravity, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón directed the erotic masterpiece Y Tu Mamá También. The Spanish-language coming-of-age drama follows two teenage best friends who go on a road trip with a woman in her late twenties, only to discover much more about each other and themselves. It seems like a trite premise, but the film is lovingly crafted and gorgeously shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. Cuarón captures teenage ennui brilliantly, and while this is a “coming-of-age” story, the focus isn’t entirely on the young boys—Maribel Verdú’s chararacter is fully realized as Cuarón explores the anxieties and fears of adulthood, all set against the backdrop of a sunny, sex-filled roadtrip. This is undoubtedly one of the best films of the 21st century so far. – Adam Chitwood 26...Kubo and the Two Strings  Director: Travis Knight Writers: Marc Haimes and Chris Butler Cast: Art Parkinson, Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei, and Matthew McConaughey The folks at LAIKA Studios have been crafting gorgeous and wholly unique stop-motion animated films for years, but Kubo and the Two Strings might be their most visually stunning yet. The film is a fable of sorts revolving around a young boy named Kubo who must set out on a quest with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to defeat his mother’s corrupted sisters and his power-hungry grandfather. The film at heart is a story about loss and legacy, and the LAIKA team does a tremendous job of keeping the story emotionally grounded as the visuals astound. This is an animated film that doesn’t talk down to its audience, and doesn’t rest on easy fart jokes or sight gags to keep kids’ attention. It’s all about story, and it’s wildly compelling. – Adam Chitwood 27...Jurassic Park  Director: Steven Spielberg Writers: Michael Crichton and David Koepp Cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, B.D. Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, and Wayne Knight If you haven’t seen Jurassic Park, A. What’s your deal? and B. You are in for a treat. Simply put, this is one of Steven Spielberg’s masterpieces, from one of the greatest directors of all time. It’s a story of man’s hubris gone wrong—a tale as old as time, but with dinosaurs. Spielberg’s handle on tone and tension here is masterful, as the film opens by previewing the terror to come before settling the audience into the comfort and wonder of Jurassic Park. Then all hell breaks loose, Laura Dern is a badass, and Jeff Goldblum is unforgettably strange. It’s one of those great films that’s not only perfect, it’s highly rewatchable. So whether it’s your first time or your 50th, you’re guaranteed to enjoy Jurassic Park. – Adam Chitwood 28...Jackie Brown  Director/Writer: Quentin Tarantino Cast: Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Chris Tucker Jackie Brown is the closest Quentin Tarantino has ever come to making a straight “Oscar movie,” and even then it’s very specifically a Tarantino film. Adapting Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch was a surprising choice for Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction follow-up, but Jackie Brown is one of the most character-rich films QT has ever made. Pam Grier stars as a flight attendant who gets wrapped up in a money smuggling scheme, tangling with gangsters, the ATF, and the FBI alike. But at heart, Jackie Brown is a love story between Grier and Robert Forster, and the film shows a refreshingly softer side to Tarantino. There’s violence to be sure, but Jackie Brown remains one of Tarantino’s best—and slightly underrated—films. – Adam Chitwood 29...Mudbound  Directed by: Dee Rees Written by: Virgil Williams and Dee Rees Starring: Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blige, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Rob Morgan, Jason Clarke, and Jonathan Banks One of the best films of 2017, Dee Rees’ southern epic is a sprawling, rapturous piece that looks at the lives of two families, one black and one white, in the 1940s. Although a lesser film would have only looked at one of these families or only one perspective, Mudbound brilliantly examines the hardscrabble life of a white family who owns the land, the black family who must work the land, and the conflicts and kinships that arise from its various members. Aside from the masterful craftsmanship and outstanding performances, Mudbound is a brilliant meditation on race and power that transcends its time and place. While the rural Mississippi setting gives the film its flavor, the inequality and power dynamic feels painfully relevant without ever coming off as preachy or obvious. It’s an absolutely masterpiece, and while it may not be a Netflix film that’s perfect for relaxing, it’s one you’ll be grateful you experienced. – Matt Goldberg And many more.........endlessly |

"title": "The Best Movies you and your friends can spend the weekend with.",
"body": "Hei folks out there. We’ve all been there. So you’ve decided you’re going to watch a movie. But then there’s the choosing. You’ve gotta find something that fits your mood, especially the weekend moods, or something you and your friend/significant other/couch companion can agree on. You spend hours browsing, and by the time you stumble on something you think maybe is the one, it’s too late, you’re too tired, and indecision has won out.\n\nNever fear, though, because I have thumbed through the library and assembled a list of some of the best films currently available for streaming, so peruse through the highlights below. Maybe the perfect choice is right here.\n\n\n1... The Dark Knight\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Christopher Nolan\n\nWriter: Jonathan Nolan\n\nCast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine\n\nOne of the best superhero movies ever made, full-stop, The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. Christopher Nolan successfully introduced the world to the idea of a “gritty reboot” with Batman Begins, but for the follow-up he crafted an epic, surprising, and downright thrilling story of escalation. Heath Ledger’s take on The Joker is iconic, offering up an enigmatic villain who consistently throws Christian Bale’s Batman for a loop. Then you have Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent, as The Dark Knight crafts a meaty, fulfilling, and heartbreaking arc for this Bruce Wayne foil. On top of all of that, Nolan is essentially making a film about the post-9/11 world—one in which fighting “the bad guys” only leads to bigger and more severe devastation. How do you confront an enemy that just wants to watch the world burn? There’s a reason The Dark Knight has lingered in the public consciousness for a decade, and it still holds up as the best of the best in the face of the bevy of superhero movies that soon followed. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n2...Star Wars: The Last Jedi\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Rian Johnson\n\nCast: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis\n\nLove it or hate it, you have to admit Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a bold film. It’d have been easy for Looper filmmaker Rian Johnson to simply craft a fan service-y Force Awakens sequel that follows all the expected storytelling beats, but instead he leaned hard into character POVs—specifically those of Rey and Kylo Ren, telling a story mostly through their eyes. The result is a wildly thrilling, wholly original, and surprising sequel that delivers entertainment and thematic heft in equal measure. It’s a story about self-doubt, growth, and the spark of a rebellion, and it’s lovingly crafted with show-stopping, iconic visuals like the Throne Room set piece and Holdo’s gasp-inducing moment. Whether you’re watching The Last Jedi for the first for 15th time, you’re getting a whole meal of a movie. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n3...Set It Up\n\n\n\nDirector: Claire Scanlon\n\nWriter: Katie Silberman\n\nCast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs\n\nIf you’re looking for a charming romantic comedy, but don’t want to rewatch something from a previous decade for the umpteenth time, you should definitely give Claire Scanlon’s charming Set It Up a look. The plot follows two beleaguered assistants (Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell) who decided to set up their bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively) in order to just get some precious free time away from their demanding jobs. However, with all their scheming, they start to fall for each other. You can see the romcom beats coming from a mile away, but they’re done so well and so effectively that you won’t mind. Plus, the film sizzles thanks to the outstanding performances from the dazzling Deutch and Powell, who should be the streaming generation’s Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\n4...Ex Machina\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Alex Garland\n\nCast: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Sonoya Mizuno\n\nAlex Garland made a splash with his screenplays for films like 28 Days Later and Dredd, but his directorial debut Ex Machina is really something else. Domhnall Gleeson plays a computer programmer named Caleb working for a search engine company who is invited to the isolated home of the company’s CEO, an enigmatic Steve Jobs-like figure named Nathan (Oscar Isaac). He’s been brought to this remote compound to interact with a humanoid robot that Nathan built called Ava (Alicia Vikander), and to essentially perform a Turing test. But secrets lurk in the dark halls of Nathan’s compound, and within this sci-fi story Garland explores issues relating to A.I., toxic masculinity, and gender dynamics in fascinating ways. It’s a thrilling, surprising, and wholly unique piece of cinema that’s impossible to shake long after the credits have rolled. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n5...The 40-Year-Old Virgin\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Judd Apatow\n\nWritten by: Steve Carell and Judd Apatow\n\nCast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Romany Malco, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Kat Dennings, and Mindy Kaling\n\nWhen The 40-Year-Old-Virgin was released in 2005, it was a huge hit. But in hindsight we can clearly see this was also a game-changer for the comedy genre. Judd Apatow’s heavily improvised style brought a looseness to the film from scene to scene, and the film’s tone—which was equal parts raunchy and heartwarming—felt unique. You usually had your sex comedies and your emotional romantic comedies separate, but here Apatow combined the two sensibilities and had the perfect actor for the titular lead: Steve Carell. The result is a hilarious, very NSFW, but also oddly sweet and sensitive story of a mild-mannered 40-year-old man looking to get laid who ends up finding love, complete with outstanding supporting performances by folks like Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. This one holds up. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n6....Thor: Ragnarok\n\n\n\nDirector: Taika Waititi\n\nWriters: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher Yost\n\nCast: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, and Taika Waititi\n\nThor: Ragnarok is not just one of the best Marvel Studios movies so far, it’s indicative of how the MCU is beginning to evolve a decade into its run. For the third standalone Thor film, director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) essentially breaks the character down and builds him back up again, anew. Gone are Thor’s long locks, self-seriousness, and pomposity. Instead we get a rockin’ haircut and sense of humor, and at last Chris Hemsworth’s magnetic charisma shines through. Ragnarok is an absolute blast of a film, a movie that never takes itself seriously and is basically an eye-popping thrill ride from beginning to end. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n7...Boogie Nights\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson\n\nCast: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall, Thomas Jane, Alfred Molina, and Ricky Jay\n\nWriter/director Paul Thomas Anderson is certainly one of the most ambitious filmmakers working today, but his 1997 magnum opus Boogie Nights remains not only one of his best movies, but a groundbreaking piece of work full-stop. Anderson chronicles the rise and fall of an energetic young man in the 1970s with a massive…talent. Casting Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler was a stroke of genius, and the way Anderson fashions the burgeoning porn industry into a dysfunctional family drama is downright masterful. And that cast, man alive. Each and every ensemble member shines—when you have a film where Philip Seymour Hoffman isn’t the scene-stealer, you know you’ve got something special. Boogie Nights remains as entertaining, heartbreaking, and enthralling as ever almost two decades after its release. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n8...Coco\n\n\n\nDirector: Lee Unkrich\n\nWriters: Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich\n\nCast: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjmain Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renee Victor, Ana Ofelia Murguia, Edward James Olmos\n\nAlthough Pixar isn’t the unstoppable force it once was, they can still put together a great movie from time to time and Coco is definitely the studio operating at the top of its game. While it certainly falls into the familiar Pixar tropes—a buddy movie where two characters go on a trip of some kind—Lee Unkrich’s film stands apart due to its deep and abiding love for Mexican culture and putting the importance of family at the core of the story.\n\nThe movie boasts excellent music, a heartwarming story, memorable characters, and eye-popping design as its leads traverse the Land of the Dead on Dia de Los Muertos. Although I thought the film would be enjoyable, I didn’t expect it to eventually move me to tears. This is a movie you need to see with your family. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n9...Her\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Spike Jonze\n\nCast: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Chris Pratt\n\nFilmmaker Spike Jonze’s 2013 film Her garnered a few snickers when the premise was revealed: A story of a man who falls in love with his operating system. But when folks got a look at the film, they weren’t laughing. Her is one of the best films of the decade—a deeply felt, gorgeous, heartbreaking story of love, loneliness, and what it means to be a human on the planet Earth. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a phenomenal lead performance, and Scarlett Johansson is magnificent in the voice role of Samantha. The cinematography by Hoye van Hoytema is warm and inviting, the score by Arcade Fire is immensely moving. This is a film that’s pretty much perfect from top to bottom, and by the end you my find yourself in a puddle of tears over just how darn beautiful the whole thing is. Do yourself a favor and give Her a shot. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n10...Se7en\n\n\n\nDirector: David Fincher\n\nWriter: Andrew Kevin Walker\n\nCast: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey\n\nThe movie that put David Fincher on the map, Se7en remains a taut, twisted thriller. The story follows detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) as they hunt a serial killer who uses the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his killings. The movie has everyone involved playing at the top of their game in a movie that doesn’t shy away from bleakness or the darkness in humanity. The movie also shows that even with his second film, Fincher was already a master on the rise of cinema, and it’s remarkable to see how far he’s come when Se7en is already such an assured, confident picture. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n11...L.A. Confidential\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Curtis Hanson\n\nWritten by: Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson\n\nCast: Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, James Cromwell, and David Strathairn\n\nThe 1997 noir L.A. Confidential is kind of a perfect movie. In the vein of Chinatown or Double Indemnity, this is classic noir through and through but brought to the screen with vigor, style, and maximum emotional impact by director Curtis Hanson. Based on the James Ellroy novel of the same name, the film stars Guy Pearce as a do-good police sergeant (Guy Pearce) in 1950s L.A. who teams up with a burly cop (Russell Crowe) to find the truth to a deadly mob murder. Police corruption and Hollywood scandal are front and center, but the film never hits a false note. It introduced audiences at large to Pearce and Crowe, both of whom who soar as a result, and the Best Picture nominee was so impactful it inspired an entire video game in L.A. Noire! – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n12...Enemy\n\n\n\nDirector: Denis Villeneuve\n\nWriter: Javier Gullón\n\nCast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, and Isabella Rossellini\n\nBefore filmmaker Denis Villeneuve blew minds with Blade Runner 2049 or Arrival, he made a head-spinning psychological thriller called Enemy featuring two of Jake Gyllenhal’s best performances. Yes, two—Enemy revolves around a solitary college history professor who leads a mundane life, only to discover an actor who looks exactly like him. He begins investigating the dopelganger’s life, and reality itself appears to bend as the professor spirals further and further down the rabbit hole. This film is not for everyone—it’s the weirdest thing Villeneuve has made thus far, but it’s no less gorgeous and involving than the rest of his oeuvre. It also features one of the scariest shots ever put to film. Give it a spin and see if you can figure this one out. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n13...The Iron Giant\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Brad Bird\n\nWriter: Tim McCanlies\n\nCast: Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Christopher McDonald, and Vin Diesel\n\nA flop upon its initial release back in 1999, The Iron Giant has become a cult classic over the year and eventually found its audience. Brad Bird’s animated adaptation of Ted Hughes’ book follows young Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal), a smart but lonely kid during the Cold War who stumbles across a giant metal robot from outer space. Hogarth befriends the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and teaches him about life and death as well as what it means to be a hero rather than a weapon. It’s a beautiful story, and it’s no wonder that the film has found a special place in the hearts of viewers. If you still haven’t seen it, clear your evening plans, and watch it as soon as possible. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n14...The Departed\n\n\n\nDirector: Martin Scorsese\n\nWriter: William Nicholson\n\nCast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, and James Badge Dale\n\nFilmmaker Martin Scorsese’s 2006 crime drama The Departed is the film that finally won him the Best Director Oscar, but he was simply trying to have a good time. After serious epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York, Scorsese admitted he opted to make a commercial film, choosing to remake the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs with an all-star cast. The result is a tremendously entertaining crime drama packed with stellar performances, and led by one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best turns ever. The film not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n15...The Ritual\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: David Bruckner\n\nWriter: Joe Barton\n\nCast: Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton\n\nHorror movies are always a gamble–some are great, and deliver more than expected, while others simply tread well-worn territory. The Ritual falls into the former category, as director David Bruckner takes a story about male friendships and growing older (and further apart) and packages it into a terrifying, twisty “monster in the woods” horror film. The film revolves around four friends who go on a hiking trip in Sweden to honor their friend Rob, who was killed six months earlier during a convenience store robbery. But when they take a shortcut through some woods (terrible idea), they find themselves haunted by a malevolent creature. The performances really anchor this thing as a character-rich piece, specifically from lead Rafe Spall, and the creature design itself is absolutely unique (and frightening). The final result is a horror movie that’s downright scary, surprising, and honestly quite thoughtful. It’s the whole package. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n16...Forgetting Sarah Marshall\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Nicholas Stoller\n\nWriter: Jason Segel\n\nCast: Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Bill Hader\n\nThe 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall is secretly one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Produced by Judd Apatow, the film saw Freaks and Geeks breakout Jason Segel writing a script inspired by his own experiences. The story revolves around a guy who gets dumped by his famous girlfriend (Kristen Bell) and heads to Hawaii to try and forget about his troubles. As it turns out his ex and her new rock star lover (Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort. Hilarity and male nudity ensue, but what makes Forgetting Sarah Marshall linger is the sensitivity at the heart of the film. It’s ultimately an incredibly sweet story bolstered by tremendous performances that also happens to feature a Dracula musical. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n17...Heat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected/Written by: Michael Mann\n\nCast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Amy Brenneman, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Wes Studi, Jon Voight, Ted Levine, and Natalie Portman\n\nFilmmaker Michael Mann’s crime epic Heat is a must-watch classic, through and through. The film largely influenced Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, as it’s a crime thriller in which the city is as much a character as the various people involved. Robert De Niro plays a career criminal whose crew gets in hot water after a heist goes wrong. Al Pacino plays the LAPD lieutenant hunting him down. And since this is a Michael Mann movie, there are various other character-rich plot threads going on at the same time. De Niro and Pacino famously only have one scene together, but boy does Mann make it count. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n18...Moonrise Kingdom\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Wes Anderson\n\nWriters: Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola\n\nCast: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Jason Schwarztman, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton\n\nWes Anderson’s ode to summer lovin’ is quite possibly his most romantic film yet, as the filmmaker perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be young and head-over-heels in love. It’s a delightful picture with an undercurrent of sadness running throughout, and it features some of the most stunning production design of Anderson’s oeuvre—and that’s saying something. Moonrise Kingdom also features the anachronistic casting of Bruce Willis and Edward Norton, who turn out to be absolute perfect fits for Anderson’s brand of auteurism. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n19...Just Friends\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Roger Kumble\n\nWriter: Adam Davis\n\nCast: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, and Chris Klein\n\nNow that Ryan Reynolds is a bona fide action hero, let’s not forget the guy is also an incredibly talented comedic actor. Roger Kumble’s underrated romantic comedy Just Friends is a terrific showcase for Reynolds’ skills, as the dichotomy between his impossibly good looks and goofy comedic sensibility is put to good use as a formerly chubby, sensitive-type who is now a trim, successful music producer. Anna Faris also turns in great work here as a play on a Britney Spears-esque pop star, and she and Reynolds have fantastic chemistry. The film allows Reynolds to flex his physical comedy skills quite a bit and also accentuates his penchant for perfect timing, especially when it comes to the running gag with his character’s brother. And the “I Swear” lip sync is a fitting capper to this goofy, sweet, incredibly entertaining comedy. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n20...Lincoln\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Steven Spielberg\n\nWriter: Tony Kushner\n\nCast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hal Holbrook\n\nThere are those that will tell you Lincoln is “minor Spielberg,” but those people are wrong. This 2012 drama had long been a passion project of Steven Spielberg’s, and as realized is a thoughtful, insightful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of one of the greatest American presidents. The film doesn’t take the “cradle to grave” route but instead focuses on Lincoln’s efforts to pass the 13th Amendment. In doing so, Spielberg creates one of the best films about political process ever made, while also digging deep into the contradictions in Lincoln himself. As portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis, it’s a complex, fascinating portrayal of a man trying to do best by himself and his country, but who doesn’t always have the right answers. The film is far deeper than a simple “that was nice” story, and is West Wing-esque in its compelling chronicle of the political process. In short, it’s masterful, and it’s absolutely top tier Spielberg. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n21...A Futile and Stupid Gesture\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: David Wain\n\nWritten by: John Aboud and Michael Colton\n\nCast: Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Martin Mull, Emmy Rossum, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Matt Lucas, Natasha Lyonne, Ed Helms, Max Greenfield, Paul Scheer, and Jon Daly\n\nIf you’re a comedy nerd, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a must-watch. The Netflix original film chronicles the origins of National Lampoon magazine through the eyes of co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte), a hilarious free spirit who would go on to co-write Animal House and Caddyshack before meeting an untimely end. Forte is the driving force of the film as it tracks the irreverent beginnings of National Lampoon, and the actor delivers a dynamic turn that is equal parts funny and sad. But Domhnall Gleeson nearly steals the show as his more dry partner Henry Beard, with cameos galore of folks playing famous actors from the time like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models filmmaker David Wain directs with a knowing eye, but takes the drama inherent in Kenney’s tragedy seriously. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n\n22....The Bourne Ultimatum\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Paul Greengrass\n\nWritten by: Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi\n\nThe Bourne trilogy is one of the best action franchises ever made, and it came to a thrilling conclusion with the third—and best—Bourne movie The Bourne Ultimatum. Filmmaker Paul Greengrass returned to direct after making his Bourne debut on The Bourne Supremacy, and this time around Bourne uncovers secrets about how he came to be involved with Operation Treadstone in the first place. It’s a pulse-pounding thriller with jaw-dropping action, and Matt Damon is superb in the lead role. The combination of Damon’s restrained performance and Greengrass’ frenetic camerawork is a match made in heaven, and while Jason Bourne was an extremely disappointing follow-up, Ultimatum wraps this story up in an extremely satisfying manner.\n\n\n\n23...Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Gore Verbinski\n\nWritten by: Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio\n\nCast: Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Naomie Harris, Jack Davenport, Stellan Skarsgard, and Tom Hollander\n\nWhile nothing can match the pure euphoria of Gore Verbinski’s first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, his two sequels—which he shot back-to-back—get a bad wrap. At World’s End is a bit bloated, but Dead Man’s Chest is a huge, weird blast. Verbinski doubles down on his ambition and takes this franchise to strange places, but it mostly works. The visual effects are incredible, especially as they relate to Bill Nighy’s Davy Jones, and visually this movie is just stunning to look at. If you remember disliking it, give it another shot without the impossible expectations set by the first movie. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n24...The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Noah Baumbach\n\nCast: Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Marvel, and Emma Thompson\n\nThe Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) isn’t Noah Baumbach’s first story about a dysfunctional family, but it’s his best one yet. The story follows the Meyerowitz family, specifically sons Danny (Adam Sandler) and Matthew (Ben Stiller) and their strained relationship with their egotistical father Harold (Dustin Hoffman), a retired art professor whose work as a sculptor never brought him the acclaim or recognition he felt he deserved.\n\nThe film is at turns deeply funny and incredibly heartbreaking as we see how Harold has emotionally damaged his sons in different ways. With Danny, he’s always harping on how great Matthew is while never acknowledging how much Danny does as a son and as a father, and with Matthew, he’s always distracted or demanding credit for making more of a commitment than he did with Danny. It’s insightful, smart, and features outstanding performances from the entire cast, especially Sandler and Stiller, who turn in some of their best work while never leaving behind their comic gifts. Credit is also due to Hoffman who, at 80 years old, is still delivering magnificent performances that make you laugh and seethe in equal measure. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\n25...Y Tu Mamá También\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Alfonso Cuarón\n\nWriters: Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón\n\nCast: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal, and Diego Luna\n\nBefore he made Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Children of Men or Gravity, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón directed the erotic masterpiece Y Tu Mamá También. The Spanish-language coming-of-age drama follows two teenage best friends who go on a road trip with a woman in her late twenties, only to discover much more about each other and themselves. It seems like a trite premise, but the film is lovingly crafted and gorgeously shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. Cuarón captures teenage ennui brilliantly, and while this is a “coming-of-age” story, the focus isn’t entirely on the young boys—Maribel Verdú’s chararacter is fully realized as Cuarón explores the anxieties and fears of adulthood, all set against the backdrop of a sunny, sex-filled roadtrip. This is undoubtedly one of the best films of the 21st century so far. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n26...Kubo and the Two Strings\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Travis Knight\n\nWriters: Marc Haimes and Chris Butler\n\nCast: Art Parkinson, Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes, Rooney Mara, George Takei, and Matthew McConaughey\n\nThe folks at LAIKA Studios have been crafting gorgeous and wholly unique stop-motion animated films for years, but Kubo and the Two Strings might be their most visually stunning yet. The film is a fable of sorts revolving around a young boy named Kubo who must set out on a quest with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to defeat his mother’s corrupted sisters and his power-hungry grandfather. The film at heart is a story about loss and legacy, and the LAIKA team does a tremendous job of keeping the story emotionally grounded as the visuals astound. This is an animated film that doesn’t talk down to its audience, and doesn’t rest on easy fart jokes or sight gags to keep kids’ attention. It’s all about story, and it’s wildly compelling. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n27...Jurassic Park\n\n\n\nDirector: Steven Spielberg\n\nWriters: Michael Crichton and David Koepp\n\nCast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, B.D. Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, and Wayne Knight\n\nIf you haven’t seen Jurassic Park, A. What’s your deal? and B. You are in for a treat. Simply put, this is one of Steven Spielberg’s masterpieces, from one of the greatest directors of all time. It’s a story of man’s hubris gone wrong—a tale as old as time, but with dinosaurs. Spielberg’s handle on tone and tension here is masterful, as the film opens by previewing the terror to come before settling the audience into the comfort and wonder of Jurassic Park. Then all hell breaks loose, Laura Dern is a badass, and Jeff Goldblum is unforgettably strange. It’s one of those great films that’s not only perfect, it’s highly rewatchable. So whether it’s your first time or your 50th, you’re guaranteed to enjoy Jurassic Park. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n\n28...Jackie Brown\n\n\nDirector/Writer: Quentin Tarantino\n\nCast: Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Chris Tucker\n\nJackie Brown is the closest Quentin Tarantino has ever come to making a straight “Oscar movie,” and even then it’s very specifically a Tarantino film. Adapting Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch was a surprising choice for Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction follow-up, but Jackie Brown is one of the most character-rich films QT has ever made. Pam Grier stars as a flight attendant who gets wrapped up in a money smuggling scheme, tangling with gangsters, the ATF, and the FBI alike. But at heart, Jackie Brown is a love story between Grier and Robert Forster, and the film shows a refreshingly softer side to Tarantino. There’s violence to be sure, but Jackie Brown remains one of Tarantino’s best—and slightly underrated—films. – Adam Chitwood\n\n\n29...Mudbound\n\n\n\n\nDirected by: Dee Rees\n\nWritten by: Virgil Williams and Dee Rees\n\nStarring: Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blige, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Rob Morgan, Jason Clarke, and Jonathan Banks\n\nOne of the best films of 2017, Dee Rees’ southern epic is a sprawling, rapturous piece that looks at the lives of two families, one black and one white, in the 1940s. Although a lesser film would have only looked at one of these families or only one perspective, Mudbound brilliantly examines the hardscrabble life of a white family who owns the land, the black family who must work the land, and the conflicts and kinships that arise from its various members. Aside from the masterful craftsmanship and outstanding performances, Mudbound is a brilliant meditation on race and power that transcends its time and place. While the rural Mississippi setting gives the film its flavor, the inequality and power dynamic feels painfully relevant without ever coming off as preachy or obvious. It’s an absolutely masterpiece, and while it may not be a Netflix film that’s perfect for relaxing, it’s one you’ll be grateful you experienced. – Matt Goldberg\n\n\n\nAnd many more.........endlessly",
