Fox of the twentieth century

1. The devil wears Prada

Our love for The devil wears Prada will never end, especially since we know that a follow-up is in the making! We know you don’t need a refresher course, but let’s go back in time.

Andrea Sachs has just graduated and is looking for her dream job, but she half-heartedly accepts a job interview at Runway magazineTo her surprise, she is hired as Miranda Priestly’s junior assistant with the promise that after a year she will receive a recommendation for a job wherever she wants to work.

What happens next is full of hilarious, heartbreaking and revealing moments that change Andrea’s life forever.

2. Avatar: The Way of Water

The idea of this iconic film still brings tears to our eyes. It follows our favorite Na’vi family as they are forced to leave their home, and although they find refuge with the Metkayina clan, danger surrounds them. After several devastating losses, the Na’vi must find a way to continue.

3. Barbie

Barbie gave us great performances from Margot Robbie, Ryan GoslingKate McKinnon, Issa Rae and more, but it was Greta Gerwig which truly deserves all the awards. If you still haven’t seen it (OMG, what), your homework this weekend is to watch it on HBO Max.

It includes the signature Barbie songs, outfits, and dream house that we love, but we get insight into the deeper meaning behind what the doll is supposed to represent when she begins to question her own existence. Coupled with the feelings of her previous owner and her daughter, Barbie begins to realize that there is more to life as the embodiment of a perfect image.

4. Dune

We originally only looked at this because Timothée Chalamet And Zendaya are in it? The answer is YES, but the Dune franchise quickly won the hearts of thousands of people thanks to its science fiction plot.

Chalamet plays Paul, the rightful heir to House Atreides, as he embarks on a dangerous quest to not only understand the nature of his dreams, but also fulfill his father’s wish to bring lasting peace instead of war. Along with his mother, he encounters dangerous creatures that are enemies of House Atreides and ultimately finds himself allied with the Fremen.

5. The dark knight

Christian Bale gloriously embodied every aspect of Batman, but we saw him take a darker turn in The Dark Knight. It was the first time we expanded our definition of protagonists and antagonists, as we saw both make morally gray decisions that affected everyone.

Until now, Batman has taken on the typical movie villains from dirty cops to the mob. But none has challenged him more than The Joke (the late, great Heath Ledger). For the first time, Batman is taking on a villain who can see beyond his wealth, access to technology, and fancy “superhero” suit.

If you’ve seen it The dark knight risesyou know how much this affected batman.
