Blade Runner: The Final Cut

Director: Ridley Scott

Writers: Hampton Fancher and David Peoples

Cast: Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Howard, and Edward James Olmos

Ridley Scott’s iconic 1982 film Blade Runner has, well, many different versions. But the cut of the film that Scott himself prefers is newly available on Netflix this month. Blade Runner: The Final Cut is the only cut over which Scott remained control, as the theatrical cut of the film famously used stock footage from The Shining to make a “happier” ending. For those wholly unfamiliar with the movie, it takes place in a dystopian future Los Angeles and finds Harrison Ford playing a burnt out cop who’s been tasked with hunting down a group of advanced replicants, which are bioengineered humanoids. A failure upon initial release, the film’s stature has grown over time and is considered a vital piece of sci-fi movie history. – Adam Chitwood

The Other Guys

Director: Adam McKay

Writers: Adam McKay and Chris Hency

Cast: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Dwayne Johnson

The 2010 comedy The Other Guys may not be on the level of the pitch-perfect hilarity of Adam McKay’s other films like Step Brothers or Anchorman, but it’s still good for a number of laughs and is fascinating when viewed as a step-ladder to McKay’s more dramatic films like The Big Short and Vice. This movie is ostensibly an action movie in which “the other guys” are the stars—in this case a mild-mannered forensic accountant (Will Ferrell) and a hot-tempered detective who mistakenly shot Derek Jeter (Mark Wahlberg). The two become embroiled in a case involving corporate maleficence, with McKay blending his passion for politics with an incredibly silly comedy. There are a number of insane gags here that are great, like Ferrell’s character’s past as a pimp for McKay’s own cameo as Dirty Mike of Dirty Mike and the Boys. And again while not as satisfying as some of McKay’s other films, this one certainly isn’t bad. – Adam Chitwood

The Notebook

Director: Nick Cassvetes

Writer: Jeremy Leven

Cast: Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, James Garner, Gena Rowlands, Sam Shepard, and Joan Allen

While Nicholas Sparks adaptations were run into the ground, 2004’s The Notebook remains the gold standard when it comes to Sparks’ bevy of weepy love stories. The film is told in frame story as it opens in a modern-day nursing home where an elderly man reads a romantic story from his notebook to a fellow patient. The story begins in 1940 and follows the unlikely summer affair between a poor quarry worker (Ryan Gosling) and a 17-year-old heiress (Rachel McAdams). Their on-again/off-again relationship plays out in tumultuous fashion, anchored by a pair of truly phenomenal performances from Gosling and McAdams that really make you yearn for these two to end up together. To find out, you’ll just have to watch. But bring tissues. – Adam Chitwood

Back to the Future Part III

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Writer: Bob Gale

Cast: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson, and Lea Thompson

Before Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were shot back-to-back, Robert Zemeckis completed his Back to the Future trilogy in one fell swoop by shooting Part II and Part III one right after the other. And while Part III is often maligned as the worst in the trilogy, it’s not a bad film. In fact, Part III is in many ways the most ambitious of the trilogy, as Zemeckis crafts a genuine Western with time travel elements. The narrative still echoes the story of the two previous films in fun ways, while giving Doc a chance at love. If you haven’t seen this one in a while, now’s your chance to revisit. – Adam Chitwood

Miss Americana

Director: Lana Wilson

The Taylor Swift Netflix documentary Miss Americana is far from your typical music doc. It isn’t even really all that focused on Swift’s music so much as it is on Swift as a person. More specifically, it’s a film about Swift’s long journey to figuring out how not to care what people think about her, and how that manifests in her feminist awakening and decision to publicly express her political opinion—which we see occur in real-time. Some will ding the film for being too manicured, and in truth it’s impossible to tell just how heavy a hand Swift had in the tailoring of the documentary re: her self image. But the film’s true moments of insight are hard to ignore, and it’s fascinating to watch Swift come to terms with who she is as a human being while also being one of the most famous people on the planet. – Adam Chitwood
