The absolute best there is. These movies are reminders of why we love films. The game-changers, the critical darlings, the very greatest of all time.
Movies: Kubo and the Two Strings, Black Panther
A movie you have to see on the big screen. After the hard work of the filmmakers, don’t just wait for it to come on Netflix. Go see it in cinemas now!
Movies: Thor Ragnarok, Dunkirk, War for the Planet of the Apes.
Sometimes a movie is good…but not great. Maybe you want to check it out in theatres, but you don’t want to spend all that money on a whole ticket.
Movies: Red Sparrow, Girls Trip, Kong: Skull Island
These days, staying in can be even better than the theatre. Especially when the movie isn’t even worth the trip. For these movies, it’s best to catch them on cable, or seek them on streaming
Movies: Going In Style, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Cloverfield Paradox
For the movies that make us question what exactly we’re doing as a species. The ones that think maybe sometimes we should stay home and read a good book.
Movies: Suicide Squad, American Assassin, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Hi I’m Bam I love movies and I overanalyze them. Can’t really stretch that into a paragraph off-hand.

BRITTANY LAWRENCE
For some reason, I decided to go to med school. Yeah, I know, crazy right? When I’m not striving to become a doctor, I’m singing, cooking, or scrolling through Netflix. Occasionally I watch a movie, but mostly, I’m binging as much as I can. I also talk a lot. I guess that’s why I’m on a podcast.
Favourite Movies: Parent Trap, The Avengers, Pitch Perfect, The Back-up Plan

Fisherman, Photographer, Software developer.
I hate writing these things, that’s why I didn’t apply to colleges abroad. It’s easier to do whatever than to write an essay about myself. The hardest thing about remembering the things I like, is I can never remember them when I want to remember them. I should keep a journal.
Favourite movies: The Lion King, Twilight, Chef, Jaws
Alex Hewitt
I like feeling all the feels. I guess you could call me a Jamaican artist boy. I’m happiest when I’m making my designs and working on my headphones. I don’t really watch movies, but I love cartoons. Mostly for the art.
Favourite Movies: The Dark Knight, The Spongebob Movie, The Painted Veil, District 9
