Richard Linklater doesn't miss. (See Boyhood below, see also Apollo 10 , see also Before Midnight). So he was never going to drop the ball on a sort-of-mostly-true story about a mild-mannered professor who pretends to be a hitman in order to catch criminals and criminals-to-be, played by doer of no wrong Glen Powell. Chuck in a love interest who hires him to take out her abusive husband and this film was always going to be up against it if it wanted to be a stinker. Obviously it's anything but. You can watch Hit Man on Netflix.
This very Gen Z slasher brings together the A-list of internet It Girls and Online Boyfriends for a fairly tame horror-murder-mystery-class-satire combo. Think Knives Out crossed with Scream. The new faces of Hollywood assemble in a remote American manor house at peak hurricane season, and shit gets real when the lights go out. Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova and Myha'la Herrold lead the pack, with supporting appearances from Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace and Pete Davidson. And don't forget the Charli XCX banger on the score. You can watch Bodies Bodies Bodies on Netflix.
Olivia Colman is the queen of playing frazzled women, and The Lost Daughter, in which she plays a stuffy academic who takes a Greek sojourn out of term time, is no different. Then a family of brash Brooklynites (led by Dakota Johnson) arrive to ruin her chill; on watching Johnson struggle with being a young mum, she recalls the difficulties she faced raising her twins, with the character portrayed in flashback by I'm Thinking of Ending Things' Jessie Buckley. Once nowt more than a fly in her Aperol spritz, her guilt overwhelms her. Hardly a holiday for the scrapbook. You can watch The Lost Daughter on Netflix.
If you so desire, thanks to Netflix right now, you can give yourself a Tom Ripley overdose. Not only is there the lush new black-and-white series starring Andrew Scott as the notorious scammer, but you can also indulge in the 1999 Anthony Minghella classic starring young Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Props to Minghella for not only evoking the sundrenched sensuality of 1950s Italy, but securing these later-iconic stars in their absolute prime. It's truly hard to imagine any group of people ever looking better on screen. You can watch The Talented Mr. Ripley on Netflix.
Sofia Coppola's vignette of two lonely people in Tokyo soothing their isolation in the strange comfort of each other is iconic. Chances are, if you know anyone who's been to Japan, they made some punny Instagram caption referring back to the movie or grabbed a drink at the Park Hyatt bar shown in the movie. The movie is both heavy and light, showing the crushing weight of being stuck in the mud of your own life while at the same time letting us find joy and levity in the way Scarlet Johansson's lonely wife and Bill Murray's existential actor fill their time. You can watch Lost in Translation on Netflix.
When was the last time you saw this stone cold classic? Quentin Tarantino's sophomore feature, which he wrote and directed in his early 30s (cue us feeling very, very insignificant) stands up as a feast of witty dialogue, timeless performances and cinematic maximalism. You know the drill. There are the suited assassins who like quoting scripture and debating French fast food (Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta); there's the boxer (Bruce Willis) who refuses to throw a fight, and subsequently comes to blows with the match fixer he double crossed (Ving Rhames); there's Uma Thurman doing the twist. There's the soundtrack. There's Marvin (Phil LaMarr) getting his brains blown out. Let's face it: you will watch this at least 100 times before you die. You can watch Pulp Fiction on Netflix.
The biggest movie of 2022 comes to streaming from Friday, so you can watch Tom Cruise and Miles Teller fly around to Kenny Loggins, and those deeply homoerotic scenes of half-naked beach volleyball, to your heart's content. One of the greatest sequels ever made; one of the greatest action movies; an unimpeachable argument for the superiority of practical stunts and effects; conclusive proof that Cruise is one of the greatest film stars ever to grace our planet. You can watch Top Gun: Maverick on Netflix.
With Christopher Nolan's latest big screen epic, Oppenheimer, finally securing the director his Oscar bag, why not catch up with the movie that made him? Memento has many of the tropes that have come to be associated with Nolan's filmography. For one, it's a real head fuck. It tells the story of a man (Guy Pearce) suffering from short-term memory loss who uses an array of photographs and notes that he has left for himself, like breadcrumbs, to find out who has killed his wife. To do this, Nolan eschews conventional linearity: instead, the film intercuts between black-and-white and colour sequences, the latter in reverse order, putting us in the mind of Pearce's character. Still, not as confusing as Tenet. You can watch Memento on Netflix.
After his big Old Hollywood passion project Mank, The Killer marks a return to familiar territory for David Fincher, with his noted career-running interest in weirdos and outcasts. Michael Fassbender certainly plays one here: the eponymous Killer is the most anal assassin of all time, meticulous and exacting. He's also pretty inept, as becomes clear twenty minutes in and a crucial hit goes to shit, setting in motion a globetrotting revenge story with the Killer exacting bloody retribution for an attack on his girlfriend. A pulpy, noirish delight from a technical master, simple and effective. You can watch The Killer on Netflix.
