Oh Rats, I Maced the Kid (2023)

Slip on your favorite dungarees and spend the day on the east coast of New Zealand before the 90s.

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.

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.

A family adventure film that features Hawaiian culture with a representative director and a diverse cast.

Self expression among teenagers is explored in the live adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's novel of the same name.

Two Distant Strangers (2020) centers around Carter James (Joey Bada$$) as he tries to get back home to his pitbull, Jeter, after spending a night at the apartment of his date Perri (Zaria Simone). What gets in the way of Carter reuniting with his dog is that every time he tries to leave Perri’s apartment,  he is killed by police and wakes up back in her bed in a never-ending cycle. It addresses the issue of police brutality which rightly has been in the public eye more and more with the unjust deaths caused at the hands of law enforcement.
