The Family Closet (1921)

Endgame not only did not drop the ball, but it delivered for fans so much that it went on to become the highest-grossing movie of all time!

Telling a story about the French and Indian Wars from the perspective of the British prioritizes the perspective of the colonizers. 

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.

Wes Anderson offers a light-hearted comedy in the Middle East centering around Catholic motifs. 

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
