20. Bad Santa

Director: Terry Zwigoff

Screenplay: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa

Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Bernie Mac

Just in time for Christmas in August, Bad Santa returns to streaming. It’s a shame that the sequel was so terrible because the original is a pitch-black comedy masterpiece. Maybe they’ll right the ship with Bad Santa 3.

19. Cloud Atlas

Director: The Wachowskis

Screenplay: The Wachowskis

Starring: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry

Wachowski movies are always big, bombastic set pieces with lots of half-baked theories and Cloud Atlas is no different. But, like many of their other movies, it’s also “visually sumptuous” and Tom Hanks gives “tour de force” performances as, not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six different characters!

18. Funny Games (US)

Director: Michael Haneke

Screenplay: Michael Haneke

Starring: Naomi Watts, Tim Roth

Michael Haneke is one of the world’s most celebrated directors even if he hasn’t seen much success stateside. Funny Games is a note-for-note redo of his Austrian original with a handful of big name actors. American critics didn’t exactly love this meditation on the perception of violence and the role of the media but y’know, we shouldn’t expect too much from them anyway.

17. Innerspace

Director: Joe Dante

Screenplay: Jeffrey Boam

Starring: Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan

A hapless store clerk who’s been injected with the crew of small submersible (stay with us here) must outwit criminals who are trying to gain access to the miniaturization technology.

16. Jackie Brown

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino

Starring: Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson

Quentin Tarantino’s ode to the Blaxploitation films of the 60’s and 70’s.

15. Lord Of War

Director: Andrew Niccol

Screenplay: Andrew Niccol

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke

Nicolas Cage has decided that his legacy doesn’t mean much to him anymore. We get it. Legacies don’t buy houses but making ten questionable movies a year certainly can. Lord of War, which finds him playing an arms dealer dealing with an existential crisis, might have been one of his last really good films.

14. The Addams Family

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld

Screenplay: Caroline Thompson, Larry Wilson

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia

The Addams Family is a reminder of simpler times when every movie needed a rap song at the end to tie it all together.

13. The Astronaut’s Wife

Director: Rand Ravich

Screenplay: Rand Ravich

Starring: Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp

They were definitely trying to do a sci-fi version of Rosemary’s Baby with this film (strange pregnancies and Charlize Theron’s haircut are dead giveaways) but didn’t quite accomplish that. Instead, conjuring more of a predictable M. Night Shyamalan copycat.

12. The Number 23

Director: Joel Schumacher

Screenplay: Fernley Phillips

Starring: Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen

In the wake of his incredible performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, studios were eager to see the breadth of Jim Carrey’s dramatic chops. The Number 23 summarily put an end to that.

11. The Founder

Director: John Lee Hancock

Screenplay: Robert D. Siegel

Starring: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman

In perhaps one of the best movies from last year that nobody saw, The Founder tells the story of the guy who turned the McDonald’s brand, and their Golden Arches, into a ubiquitous symbol of American gluttony.

10. Icarus (Netflix Original)

Director: Bryan Fogel

Screenplay: Jon Bertain, Bryan Fogel, et al.

Starring: Bryan Fogel

As Americans, we seriously cannot get enough of Russia. Flip around the stations and we guarantee that Rocky IV is playing on some channel, right now. Anyway, this documentary centers on the Russian state-sponsored doping during the Olympics.

9. Atypical: Season 1 (Netflix Original)

Creator: Robia Rashid

Starring: Nik Dodani, Jennifer Jason Leigh

A teen on the autism spectrum decides he wants to date in this new Netflix original series. You can bet that his whole family is going to learn something about themselves, love and life in the process.

8. Naked (Netflix Original)

Director: Michael Tiddes

Screenplay: Rick Alvarez, Marlon Wayans, et al.

Starring: Marlon Wayans

Like an all-nude reboot of Groundhog Day, Naked features a nude man caught in a time loop on the day of his wedding. Based on the Swedish film of the same name and inexplicably starring Marlon Wayans.

7. Gold

Director: Stephen Gaghan

Screenplay: Patrick Massett, John Zinman

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Edgar Ramírez

There’s very little Matthew McConaughey can’t do as an actor but apparently critics drew the line at the bald cap and excess of gut. The movie is about gold and capitalism run amok. Enjoy.

6. I Am Sam

Director: Jessie Nelson

Screenplay: Kristine Johnson, Jessie Nelson

Starring: Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer

There’s a quote from the movie Tropic Thunder that accurately describes Sean Penn’s performance in I Am Sam but we won’t get into that here. This is the kind of movie your mom recommends to you.

5. Marvel’s The Defenders: Season 1(Netflix Original)

Creators: Douglas Petrie, Marco Ramirez

Starring: Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, Finn Jones, Élodie Yung

It’s incredible that we haven’t yet reached the superhero saturation point but it has to be coming, right? This is the big crossover event Marvel fans have been waiting for—the joining forces of Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage and the guy with the ramen noodles on his head.

4. What Happened To Monday? (Netflix Original)

Director: Tommy Wirkola

Screenplay: Max Botkin, Kerry Williamson

Starring: Noomi Rapace, Willen Dafoe, Glenn Close

In this dystopian thriller set in a world with a strict one-child policy (honestly, what’s the fuss?), a set of septuplets must search for their missing sister (presumably named “Monday”).

3. Disjointed: Part 1(Netflix Original)

Creators: David Javerbaum, Chuck Lorre

Starring: Kathy Bates, Aaron Moten

Kathy Bates stars as the owner of a dispensary and she and her son are constantly high. Get it? Disjointed.

2. Death Note (Netflix Original)

Director: Adam Wingard

Screenplay: Charley Parlapanides, Vlas Parlapanides

Starring: Lakeith Stanfield, Margaret Qualley

The mega-popular manga finally comes to the small screen. The plot is loosely based on the original—a young man finds a book, which has the power to kill with the simple scrawling of a name. He uses it to dispatch criminals but an enigmatic detective is on his trail.

1. Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later (Netflix Original)

Director: David Wain

Screenplay: Michael Showalter, David Wain

Starring: Paul Rudd, Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black

Wet Hot American Summer might be one of the greatest comedy films of all time. The prequel (starring the original cast albeit fifteen years older) was just as hilarious. Now they’re back for a proper reunion set in the early 90s. This will be binge worthy.

20. Arthur

Director: Steve Gordon

Screenplay: Steve Gordon

Starring: Dudley Moore, Lisa Minnelli

Dudley Moore is known better now because he was perceived in his real life to be much like his onscreen counterpart, Arthur, that is, perpetually drunken and looking for love in all the wrong places. The truth is, he was an accomplished humorist, painter and pianist as well. And who doesn’t like to drink a bit?

19. As Good as it Gets

Director: James L. Brooks

Screenplay: James L. Brooks, Mark Andrus

Starring: Jack Nicholson, Greg Kinnear, Helen Hunt

As Good as it Gets is another “bad-boys-being-bad-and-looking-for-love” movie. Jack Nicholson plays a lauded writer who’s also a giant ass. The film comes off as a bit anachronistic now but remains a solid piece of cinema.

18. Bad Boys

Director: Michael Bay

Screenplay: Michael Barrie, Jim Mulholland, Doug Richardson

Starring: Will Smith, Martin Lawrence

Michael Bay has only made three good films in his long career and they all have Bad Boys in the title. He’ll increase that number when Bad Boys 4 drops next year.

17. The Big Chill

Director: Lawrence Kasdan

Screenplay: Lawrence Kasdan, Barbra Benedek

Starring: Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, Jeff Goldblum

The ultimate movie about old friends coming together and realizing that life ain’t always what it’s cracked up to be. It also singlehandedly ruined “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” for an entire generation.

16. Bloodsport

Director: Newt Arnold

Screenplay: Sheldon Lettich

Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme

For a plotless crawl through the world of underground martial arts, Bloodsport remains surprisingly compelling. We assume it has something to do with the dramatic flaring of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s nostrils.

15. Breakdown

Director: Jonathan Mostow

Screenplay: Jonathan Mostow

Starring: Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlan

A man’s wife is kidnapped after their car breaks down (hence the title) in the middle of the New Mexican desert. Now, he’s on a race against time (and his own mind) to find her in this “taut” “surreal” thriller. Also, makes for a cautionary tale explaining why you should never trust banjo-picking desert people.

14. Clue

Director: Jonathan Lyn

Screenplay: Jonathan Lyn

Starring: Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd

Board game movies are almost never good (except for Battleship of course) but Clue broke the mold. In keeping with the spirit of the game, the film had three different endings, which went to different theatres around the country so you might have seen a different ending of the movie in California than the folks did in New York.

13. Clueless

Director: Amy Heckerling

Screenplay: Amy Heckerling

Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash

Though Clueless came out over twenty years ago, it stays remarkably relevant throughout vast generational shifts. We have a hunch it has something to do with the timeless source material—Jane Austen’s Emma.

12. Finding Forrester

Director: Gus Van Sant

Screenplay: Mike Rich

Starring: Sean Connery, Rob Brown

Okay, so this movie really just rode the coattails of Good Will Hunting, but it did give us one of the greatest Internet memes of all time—“You the man now, dog.”

11. The Foot Fist Way

Director: Jody Hill

Screenplay: Ben Best, Jody Hill, Danny McBride

Starring: Danny McBride, Ben Best

Sure, Danny McBride basically just plays the same character in every film/television series—a foul-mouthed southerner with a tough exterior but truly a heart of gold. This, the first feature-length collaboration from the guys who’d go on to do Eastbound and Down is no different. But it’s hilarious all the same.

10. Mars Attacks!

Director: Tim Burton

Screenplay: Jonathan Gems

Starring: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Lukas Haas

Who’d have thought that a trading card series from the 60s would make such a fine film? Tim Burton. That’s who. Little green men invade Earth and hilarity ensues.

9. Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Director: Robert Rodriguez

Screenplay: Robert Rodriguez

Starring: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp

The third, and final, film in Robert Rodriguez’s Mexico Trilogy (along with El Mariachi and Desperado) is ambitious if uneven with a head-scratcher of a plot. Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp kill it as usual and Willem Dafoe takes his drug lord character to incredible heights.

8. Saving Private Ryan

Director: Steven Spielberg

Screenplay: Robert Rodat

Starring: Tom Hanks, Matt Damon

There’s a popular Internet meme that gets circulated theorizing the amount of money the United States government has spent saving Matt Damon. Currently, the estimate is at about $900 million.

7. Spider-Man

Director: Sam Raimi

Screenplay: David Koepp

Starring: Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe

With Spiderman: Homecoming, the wall-crawler is currently on his third iteration but, with those glassy eyes and boyish good looks, Tobey Maguire will always be Spiderman in our hearts. Plus, this one had Evil Dead Trilogy director Sam Raimi at the helm.

6. Teen Wolf Too

Director: Christopher Leitch

Screenplay: Tim Kring

Starring: Jason Bateman, Kim Darby

Before he was plugging holes as Michael Bluth, Jason Bateman was sinking baskets in this inexplicable sequel to Teen Wolf, which has recently been reboot as a sexy MTV teen drama. We’re sure there’s something redeeming in this film and we challenge our readers with finding it!

5. The Toy

Director: Richard Donner

Screenplay: Carol Sobieski

Starring: Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason

With fresh, 2017 eyes, a black man being purchased for the son of a mega-rich news magnate seems pretty problematic. But, hey man, this was the wild and free 1980s when nothing seemed to matter.

4. Vanilla Sky

Director: Cameron Crowe

Screenplay: Cameron Crowe

Starring: Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz

Despite making a handful of really great movies, Cameron Crowe can’t seem to catch much of a break. He makes understated rom-coms like Elizabethtown and critics dump on him for playing it too close to the vest. He makes big, heady narratives like Vanilla Sky and critics dump on him for overreaching. Despite some snares, Vanilla Sky is good.

3. Hamlet (1990)

Director: Franco Zeffirelli

Screenplay: Franco Zeffirelli, Christopher De Vore, William Shakespeare

Starring: Mel Gibson, Glenn Close

Alright, here’s the definitive hierarchy of Hamlet adaptations made between 1990 and 2000:

1. The Lion King
2. Hamlet (1996)
3. Renaissance Man (starring Joe Pesci)
4. Let the Devil Wear Black
5. Hamlet (2000)
6. Hamlet (1990)

2. Universal Soldier

Director: Roland Emmerich

Screenplay: Dean Devlin

Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren

Universal Soldier is an… imaginative (?)… depiction of PTSD in the wake of the Vietnam War. You know the old tale—two soldiers (one insane) die and are then reanimated as super-soldiers in service of the U.S. government.

1. Coming to America

Director: John Landis

Screenplay: David Sheffield

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall

The classic fish-out-of-water story but set in the 80s and in Queens, New York. It’s worth the watch just to see Eddie Murphy play every single character (including an old Jewish man) in the barbershop scene.

20. Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Creators: Marty Callner

Starring: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The HBO reality series, which follows a single football team through their training camp and preseason, is back for its eleventh year—this time with playoff hopefuls the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

19. Emelie

Director: Michael Thelin

Screenplay: Rich Herbeck

Starring: Sarah Bolger, Carly Adams

The latest entry into the “psychotic babysitter” category of horror films is currently sitting at a cool 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

18. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Director: David Yates

Screenplay: J.K. Rowling

Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston

They are going to be wringing dollars out of the Harry Potter series until we are old and gray and then long dead. This one, if you didn’t already know, is set in the magical land of muggles and magic-users, but does not feature the boy wizard himself.

17. Rules Don’t Apply

Director: Warren Beatty

Screenplay: Warren Beatty

Starring: Lily Collins, Alden Ehrenreich

Any movie set in the Golden Age of Hollywood is going to, at the very least, be pleasing to the eye. Add in reclusive genius/rich guy/insane person Howard Hughes as played by Warren Beatty and you’ve instantly got something watchable if uneven as this film is.

16. Nocturnal Animals

Director: Tom Ford

Screenplay: Tom Ford

Starring: Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal

Tom Ford made the jump from designer icon to very decent director with his film A Single Man and continued that trend with an admirable adaptation of Austin Wright’s novel, Tony and Susan. The film looks incredible but the content leaves something to be desired.

15. Jackie

Director: Pablo Larraín

Screenplay: Noah Oppenheim

Starring: Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Billy Crudup

For being a two-hour close-up of Natalie Portman’s face, this movie was pretty good. She could have easily carried the film alone, but a rock solid supporting cast certainly helped as well.

14. Adaptation.

Director: Spike Jonze

Screenplay: Charlie Kaufman

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep

Charlie Kaufman films are often befuddling and altogether strange and Adaptation. is no exception. Though the book is loosely based on the novel The Orchid Thief, but never rely in Kaufman for a 1:1 retelling.

13. Frost/Nixon

Director: Ron Howard

Screenplay: Peter Morgan

Starring: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen

With all these comparisons to Watergate and Richard Nixon being thrown around about our current President, perhaps there’s no better time than now to refresh our memories about what unchecked power looks like.

12. Girl with a Pearl Earring

Director: Peter Webber

Screenplay: Olivia Hetreed

Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Colin Firth

A movie based on a novel based on an oil painting.

11. Happy Tears

Director: Mitchell Lichtenstein

Screenplay: Mitchell Lichtenstein

Starring: Parker Posey, Demi Moore

Directed by the son of famed pop artist Roy Lichtenstein and starring two darlings of 90s cinema, Happy Tears focuses on two daughters who return home to care for their ailing father.

10. Love Liza

Director: Todd Louiso

Screenplay: Gordy Hoffman

Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Annie Morgan

The world will never be the same without the genius of Philip Seymour Hoffman in it. In Love Liza, he gives one of his most compelling, if unsung, performances as a gasoline-huffing widower dealing with the suicide of his spouse.

9. Martian Child

Director: Menno Meyjes

Screenplay: Seth Bass, Jonathan Tolins

Starring: John Cusack, Amanda Peet

Apart from the title, we have no idea what this movie is about. Is it about an actual Martian child? Or a child that just thinks he’s a Martian? Or maybe he’s just a little confused? Honestly, we just saw that John Cusack was in it and figured it couldn’t be all that bad.

8. Max Payne

Director: John Moore

Screenplay: Beau Thorne

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis

Apart from Super Mario Bros., video game movie adaptations are pretty terrible. This one is no different starring everyone’s favorite working-class multi-millionaire actor Marky Mark.

7. RocknRolla

Director: Guy Ritchie

Screenplay: Guy Ritchie

Starring: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson

Guy Ritchie—what happened? After making two of the best crime capers movies of the early-aughts (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch), he got married to Madonna and started farting out duds. RocknRolla is, at the very least, a decent attempt at a comeback but still falls short.

6. Sunshine State

Director: John Sayles

Screenplay: John Sayles

Starring: Angela Bassett, Edie Falco

These days, everybody’s so enamored with poking fun at Florida that they miss very decent, heartfelt films set in the Sunshine State like Sunshine State. The film centers on two women trying to save a town from developers but manages to weave in some pretty complex themes.

5. Tango & Cash

Director: Andrei Konchalovsky

Screenplay: Randy Feldman

Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell

Watched with fresh eyes, this movie is completely bonkers. It’s an unabashed 80s cop film with all the clichés you’d imagine plus healthy insinuations that there’s definitely something going on between the film’s leads.

4. The Ring

Director: Gore Verbinski

Screenplay: Ehren Kruger

Starring: Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson

Despite spawning some pretty horrible sequels, the original, American-made The Ring was a pretty convincing fright fest with enough visual jump scares to stand the test of time.

3. The Strangers

Director: Bryan Bertino

Screenplay: Bryan Bertino

Starring: Scott Speedman, Liv Tyler

“Strangers” torture a husband and his wife in this film, which is kind of like Funny Games (which Netflix will be featuring in August) but without all the cultural subtext.

2. Thirteen Conversations About One Thing

Director: Jill Sprecher

Screenplay: Karen Sprecher, Jill Sprecher

Starring: Alan Arkin, John Turturro, Matthew McConaughey

An ensemble drama made during the heyday of ensemble dramas.

1. Game of Thrones, Season 7

Creators: David Benioff, D.B. Weiss

Starring: Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage

It feels like Game of Thrones jut started and it will already conclude at the end of this month, which is the cruelest joke HBO could pull on anybody. Apparently, next season, every episode will be film length but that remains to be seen (and doesn’t make us feel any better about the series being over after just seven weeks).

20. Comrade Detective (Amazon Original) Season 1

Creators: Brian Gatewood, Alessandro Tanaka

Starring: Diana Vladu, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt

A bonkers and blood-soaked cop show set in 1980’s communist Romania. The kicker here is it’s been overdubbed with a star-studded cast most notably Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Mahershala Ali.

19. Lost in Oz (Amazon Original) Season 1

Starring: Ashley Boettcher, Nika Futterman

This is a children’s program but I’m pretty sure we can all collectively agree that getting “lost in Oz” would be terrifying. It’s a maximum-security prison filled with murderers, rapists and white supremacists.

Oh, wait, this isn’t a reboot of the HBO drama Oz? Got it. Carry on, then.

18. Bad Company

Director: Robert Benton

Screenplay: David Newman, Robert Benton

Starring: Jeff Bridges, Barry Brown

One of those Old West myth-buster dramas starring a peach-fuzzed Jeff Bridges playing an Ohio boy who dodges the Civil War and gets caught up with a group of young outlaws.

17. The Tick (Amazon Original) Season 1

Creators: Ben Edlund

Starring: Peter Serafinowicz, Griffin Newman

After getting the go-ahead from the Amazon Prime viewers, the live-action reboot of the famed blue-suited bloodsucker is getting its first full season. Spoon!

16. All Dogs Go to Heaven

Director: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman

Screenplay: David N. Weiss

Starring: Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise

The sweetest animated feature ever made about dead dogs with gambling problems.

15. Benny & Joon

Director: Jeremiah Chechik

Screenplay: Barry Berman

Starring: Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn

Benny & Joon is the film that put Johnny Depp on the map as a weirdo leading man. Fun fact: his character is named Sam not Benny.

14. Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey

Director: Peter Hewitt

Screenplay: Chris Matheson, Ed Solomon

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter

While not as lauded as the original, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is sort of a surrealist masterpiece with odes to the films of Ingmar Bergman, among others. Bill and Ted find themselves dead after a villain from the future sends android Bill and Teds back to the past. They have to beat Death to return to life but must go through a truly terrifying depiction of Hell, purgatory and elsewhere. In retrospect, this movie is insane.

13. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Director: Stephen Herek

Screenplay: Chris Matheson, Ed Solomon

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter

The film that started it all. Two slackers travel through time in a phone booth to finish a history project aided by a futuristic George Carlin.

12. Breakdown

Director: Jonathan Mostow

Screenplay: Jonathan Mostow

Starring: Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlan

A man’s wife is kidnapped after their car breaks down (hence the title) in the middle of the New Mexican desert. Now, he’s on a race against time (and his own mind) to find her in this “taut” “surreal” thriller. Also, makes for a cautionary tale explaining why you should never trust banjo-picking desert people.

11. The Dead Zone

Director: David Cronenberg

Screenplay: Jeffrey Boam

Starring: Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams

Chris Walken wakes from a five-year coma to find that he now has psychic powers! On the flip side, he realizes that nuclear war is coming so he’s got to kill a guy. Whoopsie!

10. High Noon

Director: Fred Zinnemann

Screenplay: Carl Foreman

Starring: Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly

Just before he hangs his badge up for good, newlywed lawman Will Kane must settle an old score in this classic Western.

9. The Mod Squad

Director: Scott Silver

Screenplay: Stephen Kay, Scott Silver, Kate Lanier

Starring: Claire Danes, Giovanni Ribisi, Omar Epps

If you’re trying to have an I-Love-the-Early-Aughts party, Mod Squad might be one of the best films to put on. It’s like an ironic homage to the turn of the century but, y’know, not actually ironic.

8. Once Bitten

Director: Howard Storm

Screenplay: Dimitri Villard

Starring: Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey

Once Bitten was Jim Carrey’s first starring role and kind of set the tone for the rest of his career playing either a normal guy who has weird things happen to him or a weird guy who has to do normal things (seriously, consider any of Jim Carrey’s roles and nine times out of ten they fit into either category). In case you’ve never seen this gem of a film, he gets bitten by a sexy vampire and begins to turn into a vampire himself. But can true love save him?

7. Saw

Director: James Wan

Screenplay: Leigh Whannell

Starring: Cary Elwes, Danny Glover

Despite the ensuing cavalcade of subpar sequels (and one prequel), Saw remains a modern day horror classic. Amazon will be releasing all seven (seven!) of the films in the Saw franchise perhaps in anticipation of the upcoming Jigsaw, which will see an October release.

6. Teen Wolf

Director: Rod Daniel

Screenplay: Jeph Loeb

Starring: Michael J. Fox, James Hampton

Before it became a sexy teen drama, it was a campy 80s movie starring Michael J. Fox. Why did becoming a werewolf make him a better basketball player? Also, the final basketball game in the film is literally fifteen minutes long. It makes zero sense.

5. Wayne’s World 2

Director: Stephen Surjik

Screenplay: Mike Meyers, Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner

Starring: Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey

Sure, it wasn’t the revolutionary cinematic masterpiece that the original was, but Wayne’s World 2 certainly had its moments. The Sports Illustrated football phone, the naked Indian, Christopher Walken and Charleton Heston just to name a few.

4. Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally: Summer of 69: No Apostrophe

Director: Jay Karas

Screenplay: Jeff Drake, Joe Mande, et al.

Starring: Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman

Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally might be the First Couple of Comedy and in their new special together, they sing and crack jokes about their life and love.

3. My Bloody Valentine 3D

Director: Patrick Lussier

Screenplay: Todd Farmer, Zane Smith

Starring: Jensen Ackles, Jaime King

A pretty boilerplate slasher flick that is single-handedly responsible for why you have to wear those stupid glasses every time you want to see some Hollywood blockbuster. If it weren’t for My Bloody Valentine you wouldn’t have to pay six dollars more to see Spiderman: Homecoming in 3D.

2. Hannie Caulder

Director: Burt Kennedy

Screenplay: Burt Kenned, David Haft

Starring: Raquel Welch, Robert Culp

A frontierswoman is raped and her husband is murdered. She hires a bounty hunter to help her learn the way of the gun so she can exact her revenge on the men responsible in this proto-feminist Western made in the spirit of I Spit on Your Grave.

1. Superbad (Unrated)

Director: Greg Mottola

Screenplay: Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg

Starring: Michael Cera, Jonah Hill

Superbad is still as hilarious today as it was ten years ago but, man oh man, it would never get made today. It’s incredible to think how much has changed in ten years but this film drops more f-bombs (not that f-bomb, but the other, way worse f-bomb) and casual jokes about sexual assault than probably necessary. But the world needed Jonah Hill. And this was the only way he was going to get born.
