In the process, he gets into some trouble that lands him in dangerous waters. In Guillermo del Toro's version, there's a heavier focus on heavy theme...

    • 13 Going on 30 (2004) Gary Winick’s time-shift comedy — in which 13-year-old Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) lapses into her 30-year-old self (Jennifer Garner) and learns to appreciate her fleeting youth — is almost preposterously effective.
    • The Batman (2022) By the time The Batman was released, there had been so many incarnations of the Caped Crusader on the big screen that some wondered why we needed yet another one.
    • Bullet Train (2022) David Leitch's action comedy stars Brad Pitt as a pseudonymous assassin aboard a train filled with other quick-witted killers (among them Brian Tyree Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Zazie Beetz).
    • Carol (2015) This period drama from auteur Todd Haynes is one of the most sumptuous films of the modern era. Therese (Rooney Mara) is a department store clerk who has a chance encounter with a glamorous older woman, Carol (Cate Blanchett) in 1950s New York.
    • His House (2020) Both a thoughtful look at the refugee experience and a terrifying horror film, His House is a fantastic directorial debut by Remi Weekes – but definitely not a movie for the faint of heart.
    • How to Train Your Dragon (2010) This movie would be worth watching for Radha Blank’s performance alone, but the fact that she also wrote and directed it is astounding.
    • Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2020) There is so much to be admired in George C. Wolfe’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, from the music to the costume design to Viola Davis’s performance in the titular role.
    • Dolemite is My Name (2019) This raunchy comedy, directed by Craig Brewer, is based on the real-life story of filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore, best known for his stand-up and blaxploitation films.
