Channelling Baby 

With the theme of unemployment, it presents a family fantasy anecdote rather the a comment on social problems.

At first glance, one wouldn't think John Carpenter's cult classic would be a thematic double-billing - or that Free Guy would be worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as They Live - but the two films of vastly different genres have more similarities upon further examination.

This Christmas movie gives viewers a friendship that unexpectedly forms from a plane trip.

A film about family and sacrifice... and carnivorous locusts coming after you.

Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.

This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.
