Genre: Action, War, History
Stars: Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Josh Hartnett has joined the public conversation once again thanks to his recent starring roles in Black Mirror and Trap, and a short cameo appearance in the third season of The Bear. Back in the early 2000s, he was one of the hottest stars in town thanks to roles in movies like Black Hawk Down. Based on the 1999 nonfiction book by journalist Mark Bowden, he’s SSG Matt Eversmann, one of many soldiers on a mission to Mogadishu to capture military warlord and officer Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The story centers around Black Hawk helicopters that are shot down during the battle.
Tense and gripping, even more so given the true story behind the events, Black Hawk Down has a wonderful ensemble cast that also includes Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, Tom Sizemore, Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Piven, Hugh Dancy, and Tom Hardy in his debut film role. It’s a must-watch for fans of the war drama genre.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Duration: 99m
Genre: Crime, Thriller
Stars: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
One of Quentin Tarantino’s most popular movies is also his first feature-length film. Reservoir Dogs follows diamond thieves who find themselves in hot water after a jewelry store heist goes terribly wrong. Achieving cult film status, the crime movie has Tarantino’s signature all over it, including gruesome violence, profanity, and plenty of pop culture references.
Reservoir Dogs is also uniquely told in a nonlinear fashion, a favorite style of Tarantino’s that he’s carried throughout his illustrious career. Considering Tarantino followed this up with Pulp Fiction, it’s clear on a rewatch that he was destined for greatness after this movie.
Knives Out (2019)
Duration: 131m
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Mystery
Stars: Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas
Directed by: Rian Johnson
Helping reinvigorate interest in the whodunit genre, Knives Out is a fun mystery film by Rian Johnson about the death of wealthy bestselling author Harlan Thrombey (the late Christopher Plummer) and the investigation to determine who murdered him. Famous detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is on the case, interviewing all the family members and others in the house to try and deduce what happened. He always solves his cases, but his unorthodox methods sometimes don’t suggest he knows what he’s doing. That is, until he reveals in full theatrical fashion that he was always several steps ahead.
The ensemble cast is wonderful, including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. Will you figure out the mystery in Knives Out long before the ending? Possibly. But, the journey to get there with the bickering, entitled family members is thoroughly entertaining.
Legally Blonde (2001)
Duration: 96m
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Stars: Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Before there was Barbie, there was Legally Blonde, a feminist story about a beautiful and blonde fashion-focused young woman yearning to be taken seriously and find her purpose. Legally Blonde takes a less intense approach to its message. Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is desperate for revenge after her wealthy boyfriend dumps her because she isn’t “serious enough” and doesn’t fit with the image he’s trying to portray. So, she decides to prove him wrong and applies to law school, determined to get her law degree. Along the way, she realizes that while her motivations were wrong, she’s far more smart, capable, and worthy of respect than she recognized.
Inspired by the true story of Amanda Brown, who penned the novel on which the movie is based, it’s a fun story that reiterates the old sayinss that you should never judge a book by its cover, always believe in yourself, and dare to be different. Plus, yes, you can put your résumé on pink paper. Even hard-to-please movie critic Roger Ebert admitted to enjoying the film, saying in his review that Legally Blonde is “impossible to dislike.”
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Duration: 125m
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Family
Stars: Robin Williams, Sally Field, Lisa Jakub
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Mrs. Doubtfire is the late Robin Williams at his best,as he combines both tremendous comedic talent with the ability to be vulnerable and emotional as well. He’s Daniel Hillard, a voice actor dealing with a pending divorce from his workaholic wife, Miranda (Sally Field), who admonishes his inability to take anything seriously. With Miranda getting sole custody of their three kids, Daniel is desperate to see them. So, he does the unthinkable: puts on a body suit, wig, make-p, and glasses, and uses his voice-acting skills to pose as a lovely elderly housekeeper named Euphegenia Doubtfire. Lo and behold, it works, and he’s able to fool everyone, for a short time, at least.
Under its silly surface, Mrs. Doubtfire is a lovely movie about the lengths parents will go to for their children. It also deals with second chances, recognizing and correcting mistakes, and that regardless of circumstances, love will always prevail.
I, Robot (2004)
Duration: 115m
Genre: Action, Science Fiction
Stars: Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Alan Tudyk
Directed by: Alex Proyas
With the prevalence of AI and walking and talking robots, the two-decade-old movie I, Robot has returned to the public conversation. Hopefully, the real-life outcome isn’t the same as in the movie because it depicts an intelligent robot takeover. Set in 2035, the film stars Will Smith as Detective Del Spooner, who is investigating the alleged suicide of the founder of a robotics company. Except he’s convinced it wasn’t suicide at all and that something sinister is afoot.
Driven by his own distrust of the robots, Spooner sets out to prove his theory. What he discovers opens a world of terrifying danger, which leads to some incredible visual effects and edge-of-your-seat action. It’s been 20 years, so saddle up and rewatch this movie, which some might even call a cautionary tale.
Death Wish (2018)
Duration: 107m
Genre: Action, Crime, Thriller
Stars: Bruce Willis, Vincent D'Onofrio, Dean Norris
Directed by: Eli Roth
Death Wish is one of those movies critics hated, but audiences loved. Bruce Willis stars in this Eli Roth remake of the 1974 vigilante action thriller. Dr. Paul Kersey (Willis) becomes enraged when his family is harmed in a robbery. He starts to take down bad people, becoming increasingly unhinged as he takes his vigilante status to new heights.
Should Paul be condemned or praised for taking down carjackers, thieves, and drug dealers? That’s a deep, moral question examined in Death Wish. It’s one part action, one part social commentary. Whether you love this version of the story or not, there’s no doubt it will spark conversation.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Duration: 106m
Genre: Drama, Crime, Thriller
Stars: Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin

The story follow the interrogation of Roger “Verbal” Kint (Spacey), a small-time con man who is among the only survivors of a massive ship fire. He recalls the actions of a mysterious crime lord known as Keyser Söze, who he purports is responsible for what happened.
Even if you know how it ends, The Usual Suspects is the type of movie worth watching again and again to pick up on subtle hints and clues throughout. A master class in acting and superb writing, it’s arguably one of the craftiest movies ever made.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Duration: 83m
Genre: Horror
Stars: Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
As classic a slasher horror film as you’ll ever find, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is must-see viewing for any fan of the genre. There are no flashy special effects, nor gratuitously gruesome scenes. But it is a terrifying movie about a group of friends who become victims of a family of cannibals and a sick killer known as Leatherface.
The first blockbuster slasher film to use power tools as a central weapon, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is considered one of the most influential horror films ever made. What makes it even more impressive is that the movie was made on a relatively small budget with a core cast of mostly unknown actors.
