1. The Great Gatsby (2013)
Famous author F. Scott Fitzgerald first revealed a fantastical world of exuberant parties and drama inspired by the Jazz era of the 1920s and 1930s.
When The Great Gatsby was released on theaters in 2013, director Baz Luhrmann encouraged moviegoers to attempt recreating the famous settings for their own celebrations. However, beneath all of this glamour, the movie depicted a darker story of crime, betrayal, and love.
The eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, experiences life one wild, argumentative night at a time. Nick Carraway, portrayed by Tobey Maguire, lives next door and is an aspiring writer who is fascinated by the drama and life that surrounds such a divisive figure.
2. Orion and the Dark
Do you have a fear of the dark? It’s argued by Orion and the Dark that you shouldn’t be. This Dreamworks Animation film, Orion, delves into our deepest fears associated with the dark.
With the help of his new companion, the Dark, he learns that life shouldn’t always be so terrifying.
Orion’s journey from fear to happiness and stress-free living is a tale of maturation that can inspire both young readers and those who aren’t quite old enough to understand.

4. Kill Me If You Dare
The majority of people dream of the things they would purchase if they won the lotto. Would you invest in real estate or would you stock up on the newest, trendiest toys and apparel?
All this couple can think about is how to kill each other so they can keep the winnings for themselves.
Kill Me If You Dare, a Polish comedy, isn’t your usual Valentine’s Day release, but if you’re dreading the day before, it might even be cathartic.
5. Players
Instead of focusing on a sports team, Players follows a sportswriter who also happens to be a bit of a player.
When Gina Rodriguez’s character Mack meets Tom Ellis’s character Nick, she finds herself questioning whether she wants to keep playing the game of hooking up with people.
With Damon Wayans Jr. starring as Mick’s best friend and co-conspirator, Adam, this Netflix film is likely to be the romantic comedy of the year.
6. Everything Everywhere All At Once
If you haven’t could watch the Korean film Everything Everywhere All at Once, take this as a sign. It won multiple Oscars.
This film chronicles the struggles a family faces in running their laundry business and paying taxes, as well as the typical hardships faced by American families.
However, everything starts to fall apart when Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) receives a visit from her husband (Ke Huy Quan) in a different reality.
7. Code 8: Part 2
In the world of Code 8, a very small minority of people—referred to as PWPs, or people with powers—had unique talents that allowed them to become unstoppable criminals.
It followed Connor, a PWP, and Garrett, an enforcer for the criminal group that steals and sells PWP spinal fluid for effects akin to drug addiction.
Even though the first film ends with Connor imprisoned by his strange friend Garrett, in Code 8: Part 2, Connor is now free and reaches out to Garrett for assistance once more after being compelled to assist a 14-year-old boy who is evading the law.
8. Magic Mike’s Last Dance
Eleven years following the release of Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh’s “Magic Mike” in theaters, the group reunited to present a concluding tale of a male stripper that balances the sensual excess of “Magic Mike XXL” with the grounded character study of the first film.
Tatum plays Mike Lane again in “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” where he is forced to think about going back into strip shows after the pandemic destroys his furniture business.
He is drawn to affluent socialite Maxandra Mendoza (Salma Hayek) when he goes to London in search of a new career opportunity, but Maxandra has other ideas for the well-built hunk.
9. Moneyball
In his seminal work “Moneyball,” Michael Lewis detailed the efforts of former Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane to assemble a team on a shoestring using cutting-edge sabermetrics.
In Bennett Miller’s smash adaptation, Brad Pitt played Beane, transforming the executive into an everyman hero a la Robert Redford in one of the greatest baseball movies of the twenty-first century.
This month is pitchers’ and catchers’ report to spring training, so maybe a revisit of “Moneyball” will help you get in the right frame of mind.
10. X
Ti West’s A24 horror blockbuster is an unreserved tribute to sleazy 1970s film, lovingly honoring low-budget porn and grindhouse horror films alike.
An amateur film crew finds they are getting more than they bargained for when their elderly landlords start terrorizing the set while they are renting a remote cabin to film a XXX movie.
Mia Goth became a star of the movie thanks to her dual roles as horny nonagenarian Pearl and aspiring porn star Maxine. Two sequels, the second of which is scheduled to release later this year, were inspired by Goth.
