20. City of God

Director: Fernando Meirelles, Kátia Lund

Screenplay: Bráulio Mantovani

Starring: Alexandre Rodrigues, Matheus Nachtergaele, Leandro Firmino

This film is a brutal, voyeuristic exploration of gang violence in Rio de Janeiro through the eyes of two boys who end up on two very different paths—one a drug dealer and the other a photographer. Kind if like Kids but in Brazil.

19. Dead Poets Society

Director: Peter Weir

Screenplay: Tom Schulman

Starring: Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke

For a generation of a certain age, seeing all those young, elite white men stand on a desk and shout the first few lines of a Whitman poem is enough to elicit some amount of emotion. For the rest of us, it’s just middle of the road Robin-Williams-as-the-warm-hearted-mentor movie.

18. Gangs of New York

Director: Martin Scorsese

Screenplay: Jay Cocks

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Daniel Day-Lewis

Is this the one where Daniel Day-Lewis threatens to drink our milk shake or cleave us with a big knife? It’s either Scorsese or Paul Thomas Anderson directing so it’s sure to be a good time.

17. Gone Baby Gone

Director: Ben Affleck

Screenplay: Ben Affleck

Starring: Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris

Casey Affleck plays a small-time Bean Town fixer-cum-private dick in this adaptation of a Dennis Lehane novel, which are, apparently, the only books that Ben Affleck has ever read.

16. Jaws

Director: Steven Spielberg

Screenplay: Peter Benchley

Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider

Man, the tie-in ride at Universal Studios Florida was so sick. Now, you’ve got to fly all the way to Universal Studios Japan if you want to propose to your partner at the part where Jaws pops out of the water.

15. Pulp Fiction

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino

Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman

Recently, Quentin Tarantino is being shoved back in his box for being a derivative hack who basically just copies and pastes scenes from his favorite old movies to make new ones. It’s probably a fair estimation that even the director himself would cop to but, hey, who are we to complain? Come for the blood, stay for the guts.

14. Requiem for a Dream

Director: Darren Aronofsky

Screenplay: Hubert Selby Jr.

Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly

If you want to keep kids off drugs, forget all those years of D.A.R.E. or whatever, just show them Requiem for a Dream one time. After the credits role, those little bastards won’t so much as pop an Advil.

13. The Squid and the Whale

Director: Noah Baumbach

Screenplay: Noah Baumbach

Starring: Owen Kline, Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney

I don’t think anyone outside of an Intro to Contemporary Cinema class has seen this movie and probably not even then. Noah Baumbach loves making little talkies about insecure smart and smarmy people but folks say his new movie is going to put Adam Sandler back on the map so who knows.

12. Carol

Director: Todd Haynes

Screenplay: Phyllis Nagy

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson

We’re sure this movie is about something good.

11. Portlandia: Season 7

Created by: Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, Jonathan Krisel

Starring: Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, Kyle MacLachlan

The first minute and a half of every Portlandia sketch is hilarious and then they commence to beat their dead horse. Maybe Danzig will be in this season again. That’d be cool.

10. Little Evil (Netflix Original)

Director: Eli Craig

Screenplay: Eli Craig

Starring: Evangeline Lilly, Adam Scott, Bridget Everett

Everybody loves Adam Scott and his little shrew face. He’s so quirky! This movie is being billed as a modern-day The Omen but funny.

9. Marc Maron: Too Real (Netflix Original)

Director: Lynn Shelton

Starring: Marc Maron

Somehow, Marc Maron has made a career out of complaining as much as possible. He’s like Larry David but less avuncular and more cantankerous. Take those two words to the bank and cash ‘em.

8. The Confession Tapes: Season 1 (Netflix Original)

This show is about people who’ve confessed on tape but now recant those confessions and continues Netflix’s commitment to true crime schadenfreud.

7. American Vandal: Season 1 (Netflix Original)

Director: Tony Yacenda

Screenplay: Seth Cohen, Amy Pocha

Starring: Tyler Alvarez, Eduardo Franco

Netflix is becoming so well known for their true crime serials that they’ve begun to parody them through their own production arm. Watch the trailer for this one though because it does look seriously funny.

6. First They Killed My Father (Netflix Original)

Director: Angelina Jolie

Screenplay: Loung Ung, Angelina Jolie

Starring: Sareum Srey Moch, Phoeung Kompheak, Sveng Socheata

Cambodian human rights activist and author Loung Ung recounts the terror she experienced while the lethal Khmer Rouge ruled her country.

5. Strong Island (Netflix Original)

Director: Yance Ford

Producer: Joslyn Barnes

The documentary is another addition to the Netflix true crime catalog. The movie examines the murder of the filmmaker’s brother and the judicial system that allowed freedom for his killer.

4. Jerry Before Seinfeld (Netflix Original)

Starring: Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld returns to standup just a month before Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to air. Coincidence? Or is another reunion in the works? Probably coincidence.

3. Our Souls at Night (Netflix Original)

Director: Ritesh Batra

Screenplay: Kent Haruf, Scott Neustadter

Starring: Robert Redford, Jane Fonda

There’s actually an entire genre known as “Adult Contemporary Cinema.” If you’re under the age of 50, you might avoid this one. But, if that kind of stuff really revs your engines, this movie is about a widow and her widower neighbor who, y’know, get into a little “companionship.”

2. The Magic School Bus Rides Again: Season 1 (Netflix Original)

Starring: Kate McKinnon

The beloved children’s show returns to Netflix with SNL’s Kate McKinnon voicing the iconic Ms. Frizzle.

1. BoJack Horseman: Season 4 (Netflix Original)

Created by: Raphael Bob-Waksberg

Starring: Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie

Returning for its fourth season, BoJack Horseman will no doubt continue to push the boundaries of animated sitcoms and remain one of the smartest, funniest and surprisingly heartwarming shows on television.

20. Sex and the City

Director: Michael Patrick King

Screenplay: Michael Patrick King

Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall

If you just can’t get enough of Carrie and the gals, HBO is releasing the “extended version” of the 2008 film.

19. TRON

Director: Steven Lisberger

Screenplay: Steven Lisberger

Starring: Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner

Jeff Bridges abandons his family to rule a video game land, which is not unlike the story of many millennial fathers we know but without all the cool lights, motorcycles and action.

18. Traders

Director: Rachael Moriarty, Peter Murphy

Screenplay: Rachael Moriarty, Peter Murphy

Starring: Killian Scott, John Bradley, Nika McGuigan

In this Deep Web approximation of the Thunderdome, two men enter with all their assets in a green duffel bag and only one exits in a winner-take-all-battle to the death. This is Trading (apparently).

17. A Monster Calls

Director: J.A. Bayona

Screenplay: Patrick Ness

Starring: Lewis MacDougall, Sigourney Weaver

The monster in this movie is kind of like a more brutal Giving Tree. While helping the young protagonist cope with his mother’s terminal illness, it also gives a beat down to schoolyard bullies.

16. Hidden Figures

Director: Theodore Melfi

Screenplay: Allison Schroeder, Theodore Melfi

Starring: Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer

This film commits to celluloid the untold story of a team of African-American women mathematicians who played vital role in NASA during the beginning of the space program.

15. La La Land

Director: Damien Chazelle

Screenplay: Damien Chazelle

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone

People talked a lot of trash on La La Land because it wasn’t Moonlight but, man, not everything needs to be Moonlight. Sometimes you just want to watch some white people dancing and let’s be real—Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are pure magic, y’all.

14. Assassin’s Creed

Director: Jim Kurzel

Screenplay: Michael Lesslie, Adam Cooper

Starring: Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons

It doesn’t matter how many big name actors you can squeeze in, video game movies are always trash. With the exception of the first Mortal Kombat movie and the Street Fighter movie, of course.

13. Why Him?

Director: John Hamburg

Screenplay: John Hamburg

Starring: Zoey Deutch, James Franco

The better question is: why not him?

12. The Amityville Horror

Director: Andrew Douglas

Screenplay: Scott Kosar

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George

There’ve been just about 14 Amityville Horror adaptations and really only the first, 1979 version truly captured the terror put forth in the original novel. Though much of the account has been disputed, it’s still pretty terrifying nightmare fuel.

11. Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me

Director: Jay Roach

Screenplay: Mike Meyers

Starring: Mike Meyers, Heather Graham

For all his deficiencies, Mike Meyers knows how to create cinematic cultural landmarks. We don’t want to live in a world without “Shagadelic” or “Yeah, Baby!”

10. Fried Green Tomatoes

Director: Jon Avnet

Screenplay: Fannie Flagg

Starring: Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy

Damn, remember when the train rips off Buddy’s arm and then they hold a funeral for the arm? The South is weird, man.

9. Halloween: Resurrection

Director: Rick Rosenthal

Screenplay: Larry Brand

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Busta Rhymes

Who’s your favorite Michael Meyers? The one who was in Wayne’s World or the one who kills Busta Rhymes? Also, Jamie Lee Curtis returns to the franchise which kick started her whole career, launching her from scream queen to megastar to where-are-they-now.

8. Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Screenplay: Guillermo del Toro

Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair

With the Hellboy series, Guillermo Del Toro proved that little-known comic book adaptations could be:

1. Awesome
2. Financially worthwhile

They’re rebooting the franchise with new actors and a director who’s, so far, done nothing of note. We don’t have such high hopes for that one.

7. How High

Director: Jesse Dylan

Screenplay: Dustin Lee Abraham

Starring: Method Man, Redman

What happened to stoner comedies? With it being increasingly legal and/or decriminalized, you’d think there’d be a deluge of stoner films right now. We suppose it’s just not as funny or as subversive when everybody’s doing it. Anyway, this one has its moments.

6. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Director: Garth Jennings

Screenplay: Douglas Adams

Starring: Martin Freeman, Yasiin Bey

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is one of the most beloved books for people who skew socially awkward (and other people too, probably). This adaptation hit the mark because Douglas Adams (the book’s author) signed on to write the script. Also, Mos Def.

5. Maximum Overdrive

Director: Stephen King

Screenplay: Stephen King

Starring: Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle

Stephen King should stick to what he does best: making people fear inanimate objects and clowns. His first (and last) time in the director’s chair is good for a few laughs but that’s about it.

4. Scarface

Director: Brian De Palma

Screenplay: Oliver Stone

Starring: Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer

The film that inspired a legion of hip-hop albums and a myriad of ways for middle class white kids to decorate their dorm rooms while moving small amounts of pot. It’s still a classic, though, despite the dicey legacy.

3. Scent of a Woman

Director: Martin Brest

Screenplay: Bo Goldman

Starring: Al Pacino, Chris O’Donnell

The title of this movie is kind of gross when you think about it, right?

2. Vice Principals: Season 2

Created by: Jody Hill, Danny McBride

Starring: Danny McBride, Walton Goggins

Season one ended with a murder and now Danny McBride’s Neal Gamby is trying to figure out who tried to off him in this seriously strange dark comedy series.

1. The Deuce: Series Premier

Created by: George Pelecanos, David Simon

Starring: James Franco, Maggie Gyllenhaal

James Franco cannot get enough of true-crime porn stories having just released King Cobra about a murder in the world of gay porn. Now, he’s playing a pair of small-time Mafioso twins beginning to dip their toes into smut in 70s New York City. Done by the guy who brought us The Wire so it must be good.

20. Bio-Dome

Director: Jason Bloom

Screenplay: Kip Koenig, Scott Marcano

Starring: Pauly Shore, Stephen Baldwin

In the Pauly Shore canon, most people are probably quick to name Son-in-Law or Encino Man as the best of the bunch but we’d beg to differ. Bio-Dome marks an important moment in, not just the career of Shore, but environmental cinema at large. Also, it’s a shining moment for co-star Stephen Baldwin.

19. Boy

Director: Taika Waititi

Screenplay: Taika Waititi

Starring: James Rolleston, Taika Waititi

Boy probably played at your local art house cinema (if you have a local art house cinema) for, like, 6 weeks and your mom probably saw it in that time. It’s about a New Zealand kid who loved Michael Jackson and is seeing his ex-con dad for the first time—lots of emotions.

18. Breathing

Director: Karl Markovics

Screenplay: Karl Markovics

Starring: Thomas Schubert, Karin Lischka

Through his work at a morgue, an incarcerated young man trying to build a new life starts to come to terms with the crime he committed in this unmistakably German film.

17. Carrie

Director: Brian De Palma

Screenplay: Lawrence D. Cohen

Starring: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie

One of the original body-horror classics and it’s probably an hour-and-a-half long euphemism for puberty.

16. Computer Chess

Director: Andrew Bujalski

Screenplay: Andrew Bujalski

Starring: Kriss Schludermann, Wiley Wiggins

It’s the ultimate battle of man vs. machine in this story of—you guessed it—computer chess. Elon Musk recently warned us against the terrors of artificial intelligence and this film traces its beginnings.

15. Dirty Dancing

Director: Emile Ardolino

Screenplay: Eleanor Bergstein

Starring: Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach

How do you call your lover boy? We’re not sure what happened to Jennifer Grey after this film took off but for a brief moment, she shined so bright.

14. Disturbing Behavior

Director: David Nutter

Screenplay: Scott Rosenberg

Starring: James Marsden, Katie Holmes, Nick Stahl

In the 90s, adults were so afraid of teenagers that this fear spawned a myriad of “terrifying teen” films. Nowadays, most teenagers are so busy trying to buy Supreme gear and curating their SnapChat feeds that adults are more or less just confused by them.

13. Gogol Bordello: Non-Stop

Director: Margarita Jimeno

Starring: Manu Chao, Eliot Ferguson

You might never have heard of Gogol Bordello but they consider themselves a “gypsy punk” band if that helps at all. This documentary follows their tour and gives fans a peek behind the scene of their “raucous” live shows.

12. Indecent Proposal

Director: Adrian Lyne

Screenplay: Amy Holden Jones

Starring: Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson

This movie was pretty controversial when it came out but, c’mon, we’d all do it right? In this day and age? In this economy? For a million dollars? You’d do it. You’d totally do it.

11. Lars and The Real Girl

Director: Craig Gillespie

Screenplay: Nancy Oliver

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider

In the future, we probably won’t even date or marry flesh and blood humans. In fact, we probably won’t be able to tell advanced androids and humans apart. We’ll go back and look at films like this and say, “What was so weird about that?”

10. River’s Edge

Director: Tim Hunter

Screenplay: Neal Jimenez

Starring: Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye

If River’s Edge had never come out, the world may have never been introduced to the genius of Keanu Reeves. In addition, we’re treated to the absolute insanity of Dennis Hopper opposite bonafide Hollywood-madman-in-his-own-right, Crispin Glover. This film is a true classic of wayward teen cinema.

9. The Cove

Director: Louie Psihoyos

Screenplay: Mark Monroe

Starring: Richard O’Barry, Louie Psihoyos, Hardy Jones

Using hi-tech equipment, a group of activists, led by well-known dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry, infiltrate a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose disgusting amounts of animal abuse and serious threats to human health. Watch it with the kids!

8. The Golden Child

Director: Michael Ritchie

Screenplay: Dennis Feldman

Starring: Eddie Murphy, J.L. Reate, Charles Dance

While certainly not the best or most well-known of Eddie Murphy’s films, the actor brings plenty of charm to a role in which he makes light of plenty of Buddhist customs. Also, it’s got Tywin Lannister!

7. Wedding Crashers

Director: David Dobkin

Screenplay: Steve Faber, Bob Fisher

Starring: Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams

There was this amazing time in the early-aughts that every comedy movie starred roughly the same five or six guys (known as the “Frat Pack”) and were endlessly quotable. Wedding Crashers features a star-turning role for Brad Cooper and is certainly one of Chris Walken’s finest films.

6. The Magnificent Seven (2016)

Director: Antoine Fuqua

Screenplay: Nic Pizzolatto

Starring: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke

Sort of penned by the guy who wrote the incredible first season of True Detective (as well as its sub-par second season), this remake of a remake of a remake actually isn’t terrible. The ensemble cast has enough charisma to forgive any hiccups in the writing or directing.

5. One Mississippi: Season 2

Created by: Diablo Cody

Starring: Tig Notaro, Noah Harpster, John Rothman

In this pitch-black comedy, Tig Notaro returns to her hometown after the sudden death of her mother while still battling her own declining health. Needy partners, dysfunctional family issues as well as old friends only complicate matters.

4. The Ray Bradbury Theater: Season 6

Created by: Mark Massari

Starring: Ray Bradbury, Frank Whitten, Desmond Kelly

The Ray Bradbury Theater flew under the radar for those of us in the states, as it was a Canadian-produced show. As you might imagine, the programming is sort of like The Outer Limits but better because Bradbury actually wrote much of the seasons.

3. Unsolved Mysteries: Original Robert Stack Episodes: Season 9

Starring: Robert Stack

Hell yeah, bring on the Robert Stack! We can’t get enough of that voice, that trench coat and these incredible unsolved mysteries! Apparently, more than half of these 1000 cases have been solved. Not so unsolved anymore are they?

2. Transparent: Season 4

Created by: Jill Soloway

Starring: Jeffrey Tambor, Amy Landecker, Gaby Hoffmann

The Emmy-award winning dramedy returns for its fourth season.

1. Thursday Night Football

Are you ready for some (exhausted players just going through the motions because they’re usually on a short week and just waiting for the game to be over, man) football? That’s right, Jeff Bezos managed to wrench TNF from… Twitter? And will now be streaming it exclusively for Prime members!

20. The Addams Family

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld

Screenplay: Caroline Thompson

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd

They really don’t make them like they used to, do they? I mean, come on, The Addams Family was funny without being too crude, dark without being dreary and with cartoonish violence in spades—a kids movie good enough for adults.

19. Addams Family Values

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld

Screenplay: Paul Rudnick

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd

How great is Wednesday’s speech about American colonial exploitation and the genocide of the Indigenous American population before she completely annihilates the whole camp? Nobody was doing stuff like that back then.

18. An Inconvenient Truth

Director: Davis Guggenheim

Starring: Al Gore

Al Gore went from being boring to being the most woke bummer at the party. Here’s a movie about how we’re all screwed by climate change. Thanks, human race.

17. Batman

Director: Tim Buron

Screenplay: Sam Hamm

Starring: Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson

Batman had to go through some rough patches before we were treated to the Dark Knight Trilogy. This movie isn’t perfect, Joker’s stroll through the art gallery to Prince’s “Partyman” is particularly cringe worthy, but overall it was pretty good.

16. Batman Returns

Director: Tim Burton

Screenplay: Daniel Waters

Starring: Michael Keaton, Danny Devito

Batman Returns is where Tim Burton really hit his stride with his time at the helm of the franchise. It was dark, it was, at times, disgusting, and where Batman seemed to be Burton a bit too hemmed in, Batman Returns allowed him to make the movie truly his.

15. Carrie

Director: Brian De Palma

Screenplay: Lawrence D. Cohen

Starring: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie

One of the original body-horror classics and it’s probably an hour-and-a-half long euphemism for puberty.

14. The Dark Half

Director: George A. Romero

Screenplay: George A. Romero

Starring: Timothy Hutton, Amy Madigan, Michael Rooker

Stephen King’s cocaine years were a hoot, man. In this semi-autobiographical film, an author creates a separate persona who writes separate novels (which happened in real life with King’s Richard Bachman) but the public gets wind so he has to have a real-life burial… for the persona. It’s all very heady stuff but then there are some murders and the persona might be to blame? You probably can guess where this is heading.

13. Disturbing Behavior

Director: David Nutter

Screenplay: Scott Rosenberg

Starring: James Marsden, Katie Holmes, Nick Stahl

In the 90s adults were so afraid of teenagers and this fear spawned a myriad of “terrifying teen” films. Nowadays, most teenagers are so busy trying to buy Supreme gear and curating their SnapChat feeds that adults are more or less just confused by them.

12. Lars and The Real Girl

Director: Craig Gillespie

Screenplay: Nancy Oliver

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider

In the future, we probably won’t even date or marry flesh and blood humans. In fact, we probably won’t be able to tell advanced androids and humans apart. We’ll go back and look at films like this and say, “What was so weird about that?”

11. The Loved Ones

Director: Sean Byrne

Screenplay: Sean Byrne

Starring: Xavier Samuel, Robin McLeavy

The Loved Ones is probably one of the best horror movies to come out in the last ten years. The less you know the better but it’s a twisted revenge film starring a power drill. Funny, bloody and a very good time.

10. The Men Who Stare at Goats

Director: Grant Heslov

Writers: Peter Straughan (screenplay)

Stars: Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Kevin Spacey

This movie had it all: great cast, great source material and a competent director (the guy who did True Lies!) but for some reason it just wasn’t very good. Actually, we take that back, it’s a great movie to put on while you’re folding laundry or writing a paper—fantastic background music.

9. My Girl

Director: Howard Zieff

Screenplay: Laurice Elehwany

Starring: Anna Chlumsky, Macaulay Culkin, Dan Aykroyd

It’s all fun and games until you start throwing rocks at beehives. How are you seriously going to do that when you know you’re allergic? C’mon, Tommy!

8. My Girl 2

Director: Howard Zieff

Screenplay: Janet Kovalcik

Starring: Anna Chlumsky, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis

The main character of these two movies is named “Vada Sultenfuss,” which sounds like a throwaway name for your newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

7. The NeverEnding Story

Director: Wolfgang Petersen

Screenplay: Wolfgang Petersen

Starring: Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver

If you didn’t watch this movie as a kid, I feel sorry for you. What was your childhood even like? When Artax dies in the Swamp of Sadness, forget about it—waterworks. Honestly, how could you do that to children? Second thought—maybe you were better off never knowing the tragic story of Atreyu and Artax.

6. River’s Edge

Director: Tim Hunter

Screenplay: Neal Jimenez

Starring: Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye

If River’s Edge had never come out, the world may have never been introduced to the genius of Keanu Reeves. In addition, we’re treated to the absolute insanity of Dennis Hopper opposite Hollywood-madman Crispin Glover. This film is a true classic of wayward teen cinema.

5. Robocop

Director: Paul Verhoeven

Screenplay: Edward Neumeier, Michael Miner

Starring: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen

It’s weird that there are so many movies from the 1980’s that tackle themes that are so prevalent today. The first Robocop expertly examines themes of gentrification, the militarization and privatization of the police force and capitalism run rampant. Also, it’s gory as all hell.

4. Robocop 2

Director: Irvin Kershner

Screenplay: Frank Miller

Starring: Peter Weller, John Glover

Robocop 2 wasn’t as smart as it’s predecessor but it did prove to be prophetic as the city of Detroit did eventually go bankrupt. Unlike in the film there isn’t a greedy corporation hell bent on owning it afterwards (though the guy who invented Quicken isn’t far off).

3. Surfer, Dude

Director: S.R. Bindler

Screenplay: S.R. Bindler

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson

Forget Dallas Buyers Club. Forget True Detective. This is peak McConaughey. Here, he plays a surfer who’s just trying to ride this big wave we call life, man.

2. Saw the Devil

Director: Jee-woon Kim

Screenplay: Hoon-jung Park

Starring: Byung-hun Lee, Min-sik Choi, Joon-hyeok Lee

I Saw the Devil is consistently ranked one of the scariest movies of all time. The film is classic revenge torture porn but classy.

1. Let the Right One In

Director: Tomas Alfredson

Screenplay: John Ajvide Lindqvist

Starring: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar

The English language version entitled Let Me In is a decent approximation but, really, you should watch the original Swedish version to get the full picture. This movie came out right when vampires were all becoming apathetic, brooding teenagers and totally reinvigorated the whole genre.

Bonus: Old School TGIF Lineup

Hulu is completely upping their game by releasing the entire series of the all old school TGIF lineup sitcoms. It looks like Boy Meets World is still being held on tightly by Disney but all the other shows are present and accounted for:

Family Matters, complete series

Full House, complete series

Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, complete series

Perfect Strangers, complete series

Step-By-Step, complete series
