MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Profanity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Luis Bunuel

Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Judd Apatow

MPAA Rating: "G"
Genre: Animated
Director: Bill Melendez, Phil Roman
Cast: Arrin Skelley, Daniel Anderson, Patricia Patts, Casey Carlson, Bill Melendez
At its best, it captures the flavor of the beloved comic strip gang but things start to drag after a jaunty first half-hour or so.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2020-08-09
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Brief Nudity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Alan Metter
Cast: Rodney Dangerfield, William Zabka, Adrienne Barbeau, M. Emmet Walsh, Terry Farrell, Paxton Whitehead, Robert Downey Jr., Keith Gordon, Burt Young, Sally Kellerman, Ned Beatty
The movie is pure Dangerfield – a thinly-sketched narrative providing a clothesline onto which the comedian could pin a long string of gags and one-liners.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Disturbing Images, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror
Director: David Koepp
Cast: Kevin Bacon, Amanda Seyfried, Avery Essex
In the realm of throwaway horror flicks, there’s a place for "You Should Have Left" but it doesn’t deliver enough to warrant being labeled as more.
