TUNER (2026)

🍅94%Critics🍿94%Audience⭐7.2IMDb

Daniel Roher’s Tuner is the rare crowd-pleasing crime thriller that works just as well as a thoughtful character study. Propelled by Leo Woodall’s breakout performance and a deeply immersive sonic perspective, this sharply tuned gem finds surprising emotional depth between its suspenseful set pieces.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

CHALLENGERS (2024)

🍅88%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

In Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers,’ the world of competitive tennis becomes a steamy love triangle, where obsession and passion clash in a song of ice and fire. Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor are excellently matched to the material as Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ heightened score amplifies the movie’s seductive spell.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT (2018)

🍅98%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.7IMDb

Mission Impossible: Fallout is action movie heroin. Impossibly entertaining, grittier and more artful than its forebearers while still maintaining its smarmy roguish charms, Fallout is the result of mind-blowing technical merit underscored by well-earned emotional connection. Tom Cruise proves once and for all that he simply is not human.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review · Every Mission

ARRIVAL (2016)

🍅94%Critics🍿83%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

Minor quibbles aside, Arrival is heady, bold, emotionally decadent and fearless. It’s science fiction for film lovers lead by an excellent turn from Amy Adams and emboldened by Jóhann Jóhannsson’s unforgettable score and Denis Villeneuve’s moody aesthetics.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE LEGO MOVIE (2014)

🍅96%Critics🍿87%Audience⭐7.7IMDb

Cross the delectable ratio of genuine belly laughs with the crafty visual palette and Miller and Lord deserve a hearty pat on the back. Congratulations guys, you’ve made the best animated film. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller turn a toy commercial into a subversive, wildly funny comedy, and “Everything Is Awesome” is impossible to shake.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (2022)

🍅79%Critics🍿50%Audience⭐5.8IMDb

The naturally unnatural world comes to a head in surreal, erotic, satirical fashion in a way only David Cronenberg could cook up. The world-building of Crimes of the Future impresses more than some of the plot movements but a game Viggo Mortensen helps keep this ethereal body horror think-piece captivating from gory start to evocative finish.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

DUNKIRK (2017)

🍅92%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Sure to leave you visibly shell-shocked, Dunkirk is an outstanding war epic that brings together three tales of survival amidst chaos in such briskly edited, extraordinarily structured fashion that you may find yourself not breathing for its entire 108 minute runtime. An Oscar powerhouse-in-the-making, Dunkirk is Christopher Nolan’s most artistic and soulful effort yet and one of the 21st century’s absolute best war films.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

BABY DRIVER (2017)

🍅92%Critics🍿86%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

A splashy one-of-a-kind action musical, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver is a rip-roaring hell of a time where the flash admittedly overshadows the familiar narrative but the style is so unique and so bold that you’ll be too busy toe tapping to mind.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017)

🍅88%Critics🍿88%Audience⭐8.0IMDb

Beautiful and bold with an almost unbelievably satisfying story at its center, Blade Runner 2049 is that rare excellent sequel; a singular vision that expands on the mythology and ideology of its predecessor, crowded with first-class performances, stunning production elements and cautious, rousing direction from Denis Villeneuve.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MAGIC MIKE XXL (2015)

🍅66%Critics🍿55%Audience⭐5.6IMDb

Mike hears Ginuwine’s “Pony,” his call to action in whomping audio form, pump through the radio waves and helplessly breaks into a loft-wide freestyle dance. He’s sliding on chairs, grinding metal down to sparks and, obviously, disrobing (for an empty room). Magic Mike XXL thrives on the basis of over-the-top scene work like this.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

SMILE (2022)

🍅79%Critics🍿77%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

A surprisingly brutal and weird horror movie from a major studio, Smile has something to say about the “grin and bear it” mantra of traumatized Americans but is most fun when it’s just being bizarre and totally blood-splattered. Sosie Bacon has never been better.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

FENCES (2016)

🍅92%Critics🍿75%Audience⭐7.2IMDb

Denzel Washington and Viola Davis (and the rest of the cast) are simply outstanding in the powerfully acted and supremely written Fences, a 1950s melodrama about a struggling African American family, even if the movie itself feels much more like theater than a film; the experience is stirring and important nonetheless.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

TOP GUN: MAVERICK (2022)

🍅96%Critics🍿99%Audience⭐8.2IMDb

Top Gun: Maverick is precisely the type of old-school action blockbuster that Hollywood no longer makes, feel-good and utterly thrilling, with edge-of-your-seat stunt work and mesmerizing star power in the form of Tom Cruise. The legacy sequel doesn’t lean too much on nostalgia for its own sake, packing plenty of emotional heft and boasting pitch-perfect pacing that keeps audiences pumping their fists and celebrating as if they too were flying high in the skies with the Top Gun grads.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

NOAH (2014)

🍅75%Critics🍿41%Audience⭐5.8IMDb

As Aronofsky tries to make sense of an emotional parable, often achieving such in stunning visual terms, Noah is a messy, disaster epic that works as a character study and red-blooded fantasy both. Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic is strange and ambitious, with Russell Crowe as a tortured patriarch and rock-giant Watchers straight out of a fantasy novel.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! (2016)

🍅87%Critics🍿68%Audience⭐6.9IMDb

In the pantheon of Richard Linklater’s accomplished filmography, Everybody Wants Some is a relative softball, but even his minor work is essential viewing. A laid-back daydream of primetime golden years that speaks to Linklater’s immutable ability to craft immensely watchable party movies that sparkle with character.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

BLINK TWICE (2024)

🍅74%Critics🍿71%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Blink Twice delivers an electrifying social thriller in the vein of the best of the century that’s not only hugely entertaining but also offers sharp commentary on the sacrifices women are expected to make for a fleeting good time. With standout performances from Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz’s debut is a must-see crowd-pleaser, anchored by an outstanding ensemble cast that ensures every moment crackles with unsettling intensity.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014)

🍅91%Critics🍿90%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

With a screenplay that might have turned into the brainchild of sub-committee (Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth are all credited screenwriters), it’s a wonder that the plot is as airtight as it is.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE BIG SHORT (2015)

🍅89%Critics🍿88%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Adam McKay’s star-filled The Big Short tackles a huge subject, the 2008 financial meltdown, with surprising wit and clarity. That it ends up being both educational and entertaining is a great victory, making McKay’s first drama an American movie that all Americans should be required to see.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

22 JUMP STREET (2014)

🍅84%Critics🍿77%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

Schmidt and Jenko go undercover at college, and the movie spends its entire runtime gleefully mocking the very idea of a sequel. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s meta comedy is even funnier than the first, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s chemistry is the whole engine.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

A QUIET PLACE (2018)

🍅96%Critics🍿83%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

You don’t have to be a full-fledged horror buff to appreciate the unadulterated excellence of A Quiet Place, but horror buffs will rightfully love every moment of it. Excellent pacing, poignant performances, and unflappable tension elevate this taut creature feature, one that weaponizes sound unlike any other, to sublime, killer heights. A must see.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING (2025)

🍅80%Critics🍿88%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

A fitting sendoff, Mission: Impossible, The Final Reckoning represents everything the mega-franchise has come to represent in its nearly thirty-year run. The over-the-top plotting and loose editorial prowess keeps its from scraping the best that the series had to offer but the towering practical stunts and genuine team camaraderie make this a mission well worth accepting.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review · Every Mission

CREED (2015)

🍅95%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.6IMDb

Creed is vibrant, emotional and exciting as all hell. Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan reunite to deliver a spin-off unlike most; a film that’s both crowd-pleasing and objectively excellent. Ryan Coogler revives the Rocky saga with Michael B. Jordan as Apollo Creed’s son, and Sylvester Stallone gives one of the best performances of his career.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

GRAVITY (2013)

🍅96%Critics🍿79%Audience⭐7.7IMDb

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts stranded after debris shreds their shuttle, and every second is a fight to survive. Alfonso Cuarón’s technical marvel is a white-knuckle ride, and Bullock carries it almost entirely alone.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE NAKED GUN (2025)

🍅88%Critics🍿72%Audience⭐6.3IMDb

Spoof comedy is back, and the unlikely team of writer-director Akiva Schaffer with stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson might just be the chaotic salve modern comedy desperately needed. By singularly focusing on delivering as many laughs as possible, many of them very, very dumb, The Naked Gun pulls no punches. It honors the original while making room for a new version of this kind of comedy to exist again. I laughed a lot.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

DOCTOR SLEEP (2019)

🍅79%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.3IMDb

With forceful dramatic inertia and a thoughtful depiction of trauma and addiction, Doctor Sleep is not your average horror movie. But what less can you expect from Mike Flanagan? That it’s a long and slow journey may turn certain viewers off, but those looking for a horror movie with soul have come to the right place.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review · Mike Flanagan Movies and Shows, Ranked

ZERO DARK THIRTY (2012)

🍅91%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Jessica Chastain plays a CIA analyst whose decade-long obsession leads to the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Kathryn Bigelow’s procedural is relentless and morally thorny, and the final raid is a stunning piece of filmmaking.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

ROOFMAN (2025)

🍅87%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐6.9IMDb

Channing Tatum is great as a charming criminal on the lamb in this surprisingly crowd-pleasing crime dramedy from Derek Cianfrance. Roofman may not be his most heavy-hitting feature but it shows a director willing to experiment with not always taking himself so seriously, and delivering something quite pleasant in the process.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

PET SEMATARY (2019)

🤢58%Critics🍿33%Audience⭐5.7IMDb

Eerie but playful, Pet Sematary knows what it is and plays to its strengths by embracing the B-movie qualities of the hellraiser but by then elevating it with majorly effective production value and over-the-top but hugely entertaining performances, it becomes a horror film not to be missed.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013)

🍅79%Critics🍿83%Audience⭐8.2IMDb

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort cons his way into a fortune and a mountain of drugs in the 1990s. Martin Scorsese’s three-hour bacchanal is a riotous, damning comedy, and DiCaprio’s Quaalude crawl is an all-timer. Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie both shine in an ensemble working at full tilt.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MEAN GIRLS (2024)

🍅69%Critics🍿62%Audience⭐5.5IMDb

An impressively staged, skillfully performed remix of the original popular girl comedy satire, 2024’s Mean Girls adds a number of infectious musical tracks to make its story relevant again, without sacrificing what make its predecessor so limitlessly enjoyable for a generation of youngsters: good laughs, memorable characters, and petty teen melodrama.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

SCREAM (2022)

🍅76%Critics🍿82%Audience⭐6.3IMDb

Scream (2022) perfects the franchise formula by punching up individual elements like casting and kills, delivering a “requel” filled with campy callbacks and clever subversions that more than justifies bringing Ghostface back to life for a fifth time. Undoubtedly the best since the original.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE (2024)

🍅86%Critics🍿72%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Essentially an art film about a dying woman’s quest for a final slice of NYC pizza, trojan-horsed into a genre flick, A Quiet Place: Day One boasts an excellent performance by Lupita Nyong’o (Joseph Quinn is also outstanding), helping keep this franchise fresh, relevant, and true to form.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (2023)

🍅96%Critics⭐7.6IMDb

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One showcases the franchise’s penchant for wowing practical set pieces while featuring its killer ensemble of super spies, but it’s a notable step down from the incredible heights of Fallout. It’s fun, surely, just not amongst the best of the series.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

JACKASS FOREVER (2022)

🍅86%Critics🍿91%Audience⭐6.8IMDb

Jackass Forever is the same stupid buffoonery that it’s always been – and it’s still just as scatologically funny.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

BLEED FOR THIS (2016)

🍅70%Critics🍿70%Audience⭐6.8IMDb

It may not quite float like a butterfly or sting like a bee but Bleed for This rides on the greatness of Miles Teller and Aaron Eckhart’s killer performances to tell a somewhat predictable true life story with soulful playfulness and showman’s pizazz.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION (2015)

🍅94%Critics🍿87%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Though not the franchise’s top shelf entry, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation relies on a charmed, charming cast and thrilling set pieces to create a stirring (if forgettable) action adventure.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review · Every Mission

PARASITE (2019)

🍅99%Critics🍿90%Audience⭐8.5IMDb

Like a rival organism depleting its host, Parasite may lay waste to the mind but it nests in the soul, lingering with the viewer long after its conclusion. Bong Joon-ho’s masterful and indefinable parable is a creation of layer upon layer of storytelling skill matched to standout technical prowess across the board. An easy contender for best film of 2019.▶︎ Watch on Paramount+ · Read the full review
