The Harry Potter Filmography (2001-2011)

Harry Potter's cast as they appeared in The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Fantasy; 19 hours and 38 minutes; Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates

Cast: Alan Rickman, Ralph Fiennes, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe

Yes, the full of one of the best and most popular movie franchises is accessible on Peacock. The Harry Potter films offer a whimsical, emotional magical trip and also stand as some pretty fantastic movies on their own, whether it's your first or a hundredth time seeing them. This franchise matures with its characters because of the original works, and as the series progresses, the movies take on more mature subjects. For any teenagers out there, this is a must-watch. A.

Puss in Boots (2011)

The animated comedy is the genre, and Chris Miller is the director.

Cast: Zach Galifianakis, Salma Hayek, and Antonio Banderas

Antonio Banderas plays the endearing swashbuckling cat from the Shrek movies in Puss In Boots. Despite being an origin story, the animated picture creates a fresh narrative from the well-known story of the outlaw cat by introducing new characters, such as a rival thief named Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek), and by giving viewers a better understanding of the lead character and his elegant swagger. Puss in Boots can disrupt the fairytale genre by building on more well-known fictional characters' backstories and roles in their own stories, like Jack and Jill and the Golden Goose, who lend more recognizable fictional characters to the story's supporting cast. Particularly fantastic is the apparition of Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis), a former orphan who grew up with Puss and finally betrayed him. Yael Tygiel.

Mamma Mia! (2008)

Mamma Mia features Meryl Streep cuddling a female character.

Photograph from Universal Pictures

Phyllida Lloyd directed the one-hour, forty-eight-minute film in the musical comedy genre.

Cast: Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and Stellan Skarsgard

A young bride-to-be (Amanda Seyfried) invites three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgrd) to her approaching wedding with the potential that any of them could be her father. Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical based on the best tunes of ABBA. Despite the movie's unfavorable initial reception, it has now gained cult status and spawned a cherished (and well-received) sequel. The familiar and beloved ABBA songs certainly help, but Mamma Mia's touching plot and stellar cast make it simple to overlook the film's flaws, particularly Pierce Brosnan's singing voice. The soundtrack to Mamma Mia! is hilarious, clever, and touching, and the same can be said of the film. Ariane Binette

Bridesmaids (2011) (2011)

Bridesmaids: melissa mccarthy, wendi mclendon-covey, maya rudolph, kristen wiig, maya rudolph, rose byrne

Runtime: 2 hours and 5 minutes | Comedy | Paul Feig, Director

Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendy McClendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, Jon Hamm, and Chris O'Dowd are among the cast members.

The 2011 comedy Bridesmaids is still among the funniest movies of the twenty-first century and holds up quite well. It's a story about female friendship, and Kristen Wiig plays a single lady in her mid-thirties whose best friend is getting married (Maya Rudolph). However, planning the bridesmaid celebrations with the bride's wealthy new friend (Rose Byrne) proves to be difficult. Although Bridesmaids is hysterically funny, film also has a heart, which makes the characters real and understandable, particularly when it comes to friendship interactions. The women are all seen experiencing diarrhea in a scene that is also wearing bridesmaid dresses. A. Chitwood

The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

adjustment-bureau-movie-image-matt-damon-emily-blunt-03

Time: 1 hour and 46 minutes; Genre: Romantic Science Fiction Thriller; Director: George Nolfi

Cast: Michael Kelly, Terrence Stamp, John Slattery, Anthony Mackie, Emily Blunt, and Matt Damon

Do you recall the days of innovative, high-concept, mid-budget science fiction movies? Even though The Adjustment Bureau is only ten years old, it seems much older. The movie develops the core idea of a Phillip K. Dick short story into the plot of a thriller, much like Blade Runner, The Running Man, and Total Recall. The bumbling politician David Norris (Matt Damon) falls in love with the enigmatic Elise in a society where a covert syndicate ensures that people fulfill their predefined social roles (Emily Blunt). One of Damon's most underappreciated performances, he expertly depicts what it's like to be embroiled in an embarrassing public crisis. (Liam Gaughan)

Annie-Aileen-Quinn (1982)

Duration: two hours and seven minutes; genre: musical comedy-drama; director: John Huston

Cast includes Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry, Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Ann Reinking, and Geoffrey Holder.

In 1982, to the delight of little girls everywhere, the stage musical Annie, adapted for the big screen by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, and Thomas Meehan and based on Harold Gray's cartoon Little Orphan Annie, was released. The rags-to-riches tale of Annie (Aileen Quinn), who is given a week with Oliver Warbucks (Albert Finney), a millionaire, to improve his public relations strategy As one might expect, the two become very close. Despite some intrigue from Oliver's former orphanage mother (Carol Burnett), her shady brother (Tim Curry), and his girlfriend (Bernadette Peters), Oliver is able to understand that having all the money in the world doesn't mean much if you don't have someone to share it with.

You're Next (2011)

A girl who is bloody sits on the ground.

Runtime: one hour and thirty-five minutes | Genre: Horror | Director: Adam Wingard

Cast: Amy Seimetz, Barbara Crampton, A.J. Bowen, Sharni Vinson

You're Next, a unique take on the well-known house invasion subgenre, gained a lot of talk after its 2011 TIFF premiere and established Adam Wingard as a director to watch far in advance of Godzilla vs. Kong. When arrows start flying and it turns into a life-or-death struggle for more than just winning over your boyfriend's parents, Sharni Vinson plays Erin, a woman meeting her boyfriend's uptight and chaotic family for the first time. The twist is that Erin is an incredible survivor who was specifically trained for this kind of assault, which sets up a variety of adorably cruel set-pieces. The cast of You're Next is also really intriguing, with performances from young directors like Amy Seimetz, Joe Swanberg, and Ti West in addition to Wingard. The most valuable gift this one may bestow may be Barbara Crampton's long-awaited return to the horror genre, which revived the career of the legendary actress. (Haleigh Foutch)

Shrek 2 (2004)

Shrek 3: The Second

Runtime: 1 hour and 45 minutes | Genre: Comedy Adventure | Producers: Conrad Vernon, Kelly Asbury, and Andrew Adamson

Cast: Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers, Julie Andrews

The much-loved first film's sequel, Shrek 2, proves to be equally memorable (and meme-able) as the first, as well as endlessly funny and surprisingly heartwarming with its message of self-acceptance. Following the events of Shrek, Fiona's parents, the King and Queen of Far Far Away, extend an invitation to Shrek (Mike Myers) and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to attend a royal ball. The ensuing events include Shrek's humorous and somewhat upsetting first encounter with his new in-laws as well as the Fairy Godmother's (Jennifer Saunders) unexpected visit. She is adamant that her son, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), be the one to wed Fiona instead. Shrek 2 is one of those movies that will leave you chuckling since it's silly, fun, and has a memorable soundtrack. (Olivia Fitzpatrick)

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Time: 2 hours and 26 minutes; Category: Science Fiction; Director: Colin Trevorrow

Cast: Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Chris Pratt

Jurassic World Dominion, the third and concluding installment in the Jurassic World trilogy, features returning favorites from both the most recent movies and the original ones, providing for an absolutely epic conclusion. The central plot of the movie, which takes place four years after Jurassic Kingdom, is about Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen (Chris Pratt) raising Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) in secret while guarding her from people who are hunting her because of her special DNA. The two set out to save Maisie after she finds herself in danger, and they finally met Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), and Alan Grant (Sam Neill), who were trying to look into and uncover a plot at Biosyn's facilities. Jurassic World Dominion occasionally veers towards silliness despite its action, humor, and abundance of dinosaurs. If you don't obsess over the details or contrast it with the original Jurassic Park, it's a pleasant and largely upbeat film. (Taylor Gates)

Uncut Gems (2019)

Runtime: 2 hours and 19 minutes | Genre: Crime Thriller | Producers: Josh and Benny Safdie

Cast: LaKeith Stanfield, Julia Fox, Idina Menzel, Adam Sandler

Uncut Gemsis a thorough and tense experience that never lets up from the first shot all the way to its dramatic end, making it a masterpiece of cinematic pandemonium. Howard "Howie" Ratner, a compulsive gambler who constantly gets into problems, is portrayed by the legendary Adam Sandler. When he places his greatest wager yet, the world around him starts to fall apart, and he is forced to scramble to escape with his money still intact. From the rhythm of its editing to each and every exceptional performance, the movie has a dynamic and crackling intensity. Howie's increasingly egotistical and reckless decisions, which are motivated by his own ego, make for a very distressing experience that is always coming at you. In spite of everything, Sandler transforms this damaged figure into a captivating force of nature who is as entertaining to watch as he is destructive. One of the most exciting films ever made features a conclusion that is both unexpected and appropriate. Chas Hutchinson

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
