Legion of the Dead (2005)

Spirited inverts the tropes of the holiday musical genre to update an age-old tale for 2022. It's a paean to those who make grand spectacles possible.

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.

This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.

Ready or Not  takes a terrifying situation and has a fun time with horror components. The film melds horror and comedy, creating a cinematic hybrid that flows like running water. Instead of being a film that embraces gut-wrenching sensibilities, it perfectly taps into the energetic nature of hide and seek.
