MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Director: Ol Parker

Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Ruben Ostlund
Cast: Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Vicki Berlin, Dolly De Leon, Woody Harrelson, Zlatko Buric, Sunnyi Melles, Henrik Dorsin
Although there’s probably never a minute that goes by without some kind of barb being tossed, Ostlund reserves his sharpest daggers for illustrating how utterly out-of-touch the ultra-rich are.

Genre: Fantasy
Director: George Miller
Cast: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Aamito Lagum, Burcu Golgedar, Pia Thunderbolt

Genre: Action/Drama
Director: Tony Scott
Cast: Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, Rick Rossovich, Barry Tubb, John Stockwell, Michael Ironside, Tom Skerritt, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Meg Ryan
"Top Gun" is an ‘80s testosterone fix – a celebration of machismo and a recruiting film for the U.S. Navy.
