  1. FEATURED

    Modern Times (1936)

    The message is still modern almost 90 years later.

  2. Young Frankenstein (1974)

    A great movie—as a compromise to get me to watch any Halloween-themed movie.

  3. FEATURED

    Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

    It really transports you into a strange but highly entertaining world.

  4. The Wedding Banquet

    "My Old Ass" vibes, artsy sad and queer, but not that funny.

    Fantastic start but fizzled out to fit the tropes.

  6. Minecraft

    Hilarious with an inoffensive message, which is all you can ask for these days.

  7. FEATURED

    Wicked

    Defying gravity and my understanding.

  8. Saturday Night

    Like many SNL sketches, this has a long, uncomfortable setup and no punchline.

  9. My Old Ass

    Exceeds expectations and is a model for good queer representation.

  10. Deadpool and Wolverine

    Bloody, funny, but predictable and rough story-wise.

    Is this what it feels like to watch a "blockbuster"?

  21. The Holdovers

    Excellent writing and acting.

  22. Wonka

    It's good-- nope scratch that, reverse it.

  23. Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas

    It's not offensive, but it's not good either.

  24. The Boy and the Heron

    There's this boy, oh and there's a Heron...

  25. Wish

    Feels like the lyrics were written by AI or something.

  26. Take Me Back for Christmas

    Bad acting, good ending.

  27. Christmas Bedtime Stories

    A worthy Hallmark movie with a offensive message.

  28. Inspector Sun

    A trope-y movie that is also just bad.

  29. Homeward Bound (1993)

    A bit spooky but otherwise an alright movie

  30. Blue Beetle

    I like the jokes, but not the writing.

  31. Erin Brockovich (2000)

    "I like lawyer, it make me cry, environmentalism".

  32. FEATURED

    Barbie

    Funny, smart, and topical without being cringy.

  33. Oppenheimer

    More like a History Channel special than a movie.

  34. FEATURED

    Elemental

    Well animated, but extremely tone-deaf.

  35. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Does what it says on the tin.

    The better animation and the cool reveal made the cliffhanger tolerable.

  37. Blackberry

    An absurdist movie which ended up being just kinda sad.

  38. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

    An excellent conclusion to Marvel's best series.

  39. Book Club: The Next Chapter

    A disappointing sequel filled with cringy jokes.

  40. FEATURED

    Funny, heart-felt, and easily rewatchable.

  41. Suzume

    A pointless romance and an ugly worm in an otherwise beautifully-animated, intriguing movie.

  42. The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    Even worse than you would expect from a soulless cash grab.

  43. Jesus Revolution

    Surprisingly deep characters, but made shallow by reality.

  44. Magic Mike: Last Dance

    It draws much comedic effect from Channing Tatum standing out in every scene, but it could take itself a tad less seriously.

  45. Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village

    Is 20 minutes of good anime worth suffering through 1.5 hours of copy/pasted content?

  46. FEATURED

    Puss in Boots 2

    Great characters, a clear plot, and punchlines that hit, unlike the musical numbers.
