The Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, Jodie Turner-Smith, Bokeem Woodbine
What It’s About: What starts as a blind date quickly turns into a nationwide manhunt after a couple kills a police officer and goes on the run.

Challengers (2024)
The Director: Luca Guadagnino
The Cast: Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist
What It’s About: The complex and emotional dynamics of a love triangle set in the world of professional tennis play out over the course of more than a decade, both on and off the court.

What It’s About: A high school senior with no intention of becoming a hometown hero becomes just that when his team’s star quarterback suffers a nasty injury.
What To Expect: Not only does Varsity Blues perfectly capture the good, the bad, and the ugly of high school football in the Lone Star State, but it’s also quite risque. With multiple sex scenes, a trip to an exotic club, and that iconic whipped cream scene, there’s a lot going on here.
The Favourite (2018)
The Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
The Cast: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz
What It’s About: Two cousins desperately compete for the attention and affection of Queen Anne in order to gain more power in 16th-century England.
What To Expect: With Yorgos Lanthimos behind the camera, it’s safe to say this isn’t your standard historical drama. Instead, it’s a quirky, maddening, and provocative exploration of royalty and their desires.
HIM (2025)
The Director: Justin Tipping
The Cast: Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox
What It’s About: A talented quarterback, on the eve of entering the NFL Combine, embarks upon a physically and emotionally gruelling training program with his childhood idol.

The Cast: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Diego Luna
What It’s About: Ten stories with different casts and directors play out on the streets, in the apartments, and just about everywhere else in the German capital city.

The Director: Joe Dante
The Cast: Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Kevin McCarthy
What It’s About: After a river becomes infested by genetically-engineered piranhas, a local town with its big summer resort becomes a feeding ground for the bloodthirsty fish.

The Boondock Saints (1999)
The Director: Troy Duffy
The Cast: Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, Willem Dafoe
What It's About: Twin brothers and devout Catholics embark upon a two-man mission to stomp out the city's criminal underworld. However, this proves to be no easy task.

The Director: Neil Armfield
The Cast: Heath Ledger, Abbie Cornish, Geoffrey Rush
Based On: Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke Davies
What It's About: Two heroin addicts fall madly in love with one another, only for the relationship to have a detrimental effect on their personal lives.

Bros (2023)
The Director: Nicholas Stoller
The Cast: Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane, Guy Branum
What It’s About: Not wanting to call in a relationship, and doing everything they can to avoid the label, two New York men find it harder and harder to deny what’s happening.
