It's a Western film you can't miss. A movie about the Holocaust is almost guaranteed to be poignant, but under Stephen Spielberg's expert direction, this one surprises with its restraint. That's deliberate—the sadness and symbolism build throughout the film so that you have a full sense of what happened, who did it, and why it matters so, so much.

Jack Nicholson is on this list a few times, but this is probably his most well-known role. Then, the hotel begins to come alive with a terrible, terrifying evil. Stephen King famously hated this adaptation, because Stanley Kubrick takes out all the empathy from the patriarch Nicholson, playing crazy like he was born to do it. But it makes the story even more powerful. Viewed through today's lens, it's also a haunting look at the effects of domestic violence. Based very, very loosely on the book of the same name, Natalie Portman is a scientist who goes in search of her husband.
She enters Area X, a mutated, trippy landscape that's been expanding ever since it was hit by a meteorite. And shit just keeps getting weirder and scarier. This is directed by Alex Garland, the same guy who did Ex Machina another fascinating, freaky watch.
Honestly, he's becoming the next big sci-fi director, and this proves it. You'll never think of coconuts the same way after watching this silly British slapstick comedy set in the time of King Arthur and the fabled Round Table. God sends a group of knights on a quest to find the Holy Grail, where they encounter several nonsensical obstacles along the way.
While this Italian film is about the horrors of the Holocaust, it has plenty of comic moments as well—and it works.

It's a little hard to believe that the Schindler's List director also came up with this dino adventure movie, but what's even more impressive is that the two films came out mere months apart. This could not be more different, but if you're looking for a film about these prehistoric creatures, stick to the classic. There's so much loving attention paid to the dinosaurs' look—there isn't a ton of CGI, with a greater reliance on practical effects—but more importantly, the human characters are just as interesting.
Samuel L. Jackson, in the best cameo of all time. It's set in Lombardy, Italy, in and follows Hammer and Chalamet's life-affirming summer of love. Fair warning: Bring lots of tissues. This second movie in the Batman trilogy is arguably the best of the bunch.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is terrific, of course, but Audrey Hepburn won the Academy Award for her turn as a princess who ditches her schedule and her entourage in favor of exploring Rome, only to fall asleep on a bench and get rescued by a hunky American reporter played by Gregory Peck.
A classic romance film. In this swooningly romantic movie from Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke play a pair of travelers—she French, he American—who have a chance meeting in Vienna and decide to spend the evening before his departing flight walking around the city and talking to one another. In , the sequel Before Sunset continues the story, and then in the trilogy is wrapped up with Before Midnight. All of them are worth watching over and over. Carey Grant and Rosalind Russell play a formerly married couple—he an editor, she an investigative reporter—who have to team up for one last assignment.
