Shrek (2001) (2001)
Runtime: 1 hour and 30 minutes | Genre: Animated Comedy | Creators: Vicky Jenson and Andrew Adamson
Cast: John Lithgow, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Mike Myers
Shrek has emerged as one of the most culturally significant animated pictures of our generation. It was the first animation to ever win the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Shrek, a fairytale parody, features an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers), who discovers that home swamp has been overtaken by magical beings that the corrupt Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), who is vying for the throne, has exiled. In exchange for saving Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), whom Farquaad wants to marry, Princess Shrek strikes a bargain with Farquaad to take back control of his swamp. While on his search with Donkey's assistance (Eddie Murphy), Shrek falls in love with the princess, who is keeping a secret that will alter his life forever. The first Shrek movie is one of the most rewatchable movies, even though its sequel may have more memorable scenes.
This animated film has stood the test of time because to its fantastic voice acting and hilarious humor. Ariane Binette
Phantasm (1979) (1979)
Runtime: 1 hour and 29 minutes | Category: Science Fiction | Director: Don Coscarelli
Cast: Angus Scrimm, Bill Thornbury, Kathy Lester, Reggie Bannister, Michael Baldwin, and Bill Thornbury
Don Coscarelli is a truly eccentric and one-of-a-kind filmmaker who creates movies that only he could create. It doesn't matter if it's his mummy film Bubba Ho-Tep, which is set in a senior home, or the nearly indescribable John Dies at the End, you can always know when Coscarelli has put his mark on something; this characteristic dates all the way back to his 1979 cult hit Phantasm. Phantasm finds two adolescent brothers looking into the strange deaths in their town, which leads them to Scrimm's ominous undertaker and his world of horrors from parallel dimensions. It also introduces Angus Scrimm's classic horror baddie The Tall Man. A new world seems to open up in front of you while you are grieving; a world where anything is conceivable, but also a world where horrible things are imaginable. Grief can make the world seem unmoored, absurd, and dangerous. Phantasm is similar to the dreams you have while you're struggling with mortality's uncertainty. It's a genuine one-of-a-kind, filled with indelible nightmare imagery and dream logic that seems to be inspired by humanity's shared fear of death, yet nonetheless, with Coscarelli's touch, it still manages to be humorous and enjoyable.

Train to Busan (2016)
Action-horror genre, 1 hour, 58 minutes, Sang-ho Yeung, director
Cast: Su-an Kim, Ma Dong-seok, Gong Yoo, Yu-mi Jung, and
Focusing on how a zombie outbreak will develop in a confined place, Train to Busanincreases the dread of a nationwide zombie outbreak. In this instance, a train traveling to Busan, South Korea. Although an infected individual hops onto the train just before it departs Seoul, the passengers on the train narrowly escape exposure as chaos breaks out at the station. Rapidly expanding across the city, the railway station, and the rest of the nation, the outbreak forces people to flee to the train just as it poses a threat. Train to Busan keeps the tension and stakes high throughout because to the quick-moving, voracious monsters and the constrained locations these individuals find themselves in. This very original zombie film is enjoyable and well worth your time. [Brynna Arens]
Short Term 12 (2013)
Dramatic | 1 hour, 36 minutes | Destin Daniel Cretton, director
Cast: Rami Malek, LaKeith Stanfield, Kaitlyn Dever, John Gallagher Jr., and Brie Larson
Before she became an actual superhero and an Oscar-winning actress, Brie Larson's performance in the 2013 independent film Short Term 12 was more than enough of a reason to see it. The movie, which was released years before Room or Captain Marvel, centers on a supervisor at a group home for problematic children. She also has personal issues to deal with, which are brought to the surface when a new resident (Kaitlyn Dever, who plays a fantastic supporting part) moves in. Thanks to the outstanding actors (who are all now very famous) and writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton's impeccable sense of humor and melancholy in a movie that will make you a Brie Larson fan for life, a movie that could have easily gone into mawkishness instead comes off as bracingly honest.
