Films:

Arthur (1981)

Warner Bros.

This '80s comedy classic stars Dudley Moore as Arthur Bach, an alcoholic billionaire who falls in love with working-class girl Linda Marolla, played by the legendary Liza Minnelli. It's cute, funny, and sad all at once.

Warner Bros.

Set in 1980s England, a Pakistani teenager experiences racial and economic turmoil. One day, he discovers the music of Bruce Springsteen and finds parallels between The Boss's powerful lyrics and his own working-class environment. It's a really beautiful little film, especially for music lovers.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)

Warner Bros.

Clint Eastwood plays a photographer who's on assignment in Iowa to shoot the historic bridges of Madison County. He meets a woman named Francesca, played by Meryl Streep, and they have a brief affair. It's sentimental and a little slow, but if you're into proper romance movies...this is it!

Ryan Gosling basically teaches Steve Carrell how to pick up women, and it's pretty funny.

Empire of the Sun (1987)

Little Christian Bale (he was like 13 in this!) stars in this underrated coming-of-age story set during World War II and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Forget Paris (1995)

This rom-com is like When Harry Met Sally's little stepsister. It stars Billy Crystal and Debra Winger and is generally just very cute and funny. Fun fact: Billy Crystal directed this, too!

Happy Feet Two (2011)

Warner Bros.

The animated sequel to the first movie about penguins who love to dance. It's a good one for the kids, ya know?

This one stars Rebel Wilson as a woman who finds herself in a world where everything around her plays out like a clichéd PG-13 romantic comedy.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

Warner Bros.

If you loved the first Lego movie, then there's a pretty safe bet you'll love this one too. And if you HAVEN'T seen the first one, just know you're in for some good nostalgic laughs.

Midnight Special (2016)

Warner Bros.

A father and his son go on the run, pursued by the government and a cult drawn to the child's special powers. This movie is very Spielberg-esque with a fun adventure and sci-fi elements.

My Dog Skip (2000)

Warner Bros.

A coming-of-age story about a shy boy who's given a cute terrier for his ninth birthday. The dog, Skip, is cute as heck and serves as a companion as the boy grows up. Fair warning: be prepared to have a box of tissues on hand!

Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (2019)

Warner Bros.

Sophia Lillis (Beverly from It!) stars as the eponymous teen detective in this family-friendly mystery film.

Pan (2015)

Warner Bros.

This highly stylized fantasy film approaches the legend of Peter Pan from a different angle. It attempts to give an alternative origin story to Pan and Hook. Make of that what you will!

This was the first live-action Pokémon film and it was a big hit. So, if you like Pokémon, it's pretty much guaranteed you'll like this.

Red Riding Hood (2011)

Sucker Punch (2011)

This film is wild. It stars Emily Browning as Babydoll, a young woman committed to a mental institution who copes by envisioning it as a brothel. She teams up with four dancers/prisoners to escape before her scheduled lobotomy

Unknown (2011)

Warner Bros.

After a serious car accident, Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens to find his world has turned upside down. His wife doesn't recognize him, another man is using his identity, and mysterious assassins are hunting him.
