The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Derek Cianfrance makes movies for the sad boys. His films typically revolve around the complicated relationships we share with our significant others and family. Cianfrance recruited Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper to play his brooding men in The Place Beyond the Pines. In upstate New York, Luke (Gosling) is a stunt driver turned bank robber who hopes to provide a life for his estranged son.
Avery (Cooper) is a rookie police officer trying to make a name for himself. A chance meeting between Luke and Avery changes the trajectory of their lives, and the decisions made that day will affect each of their sons. Be prepared to call your parents after watching this moving epic.

The Town (2010)
It's fitting that Ben Affleck, one of Boston's most recognizable faces, played an integral part in two of the city's pantheon movies: Good Will Hunting and The Town. Affleck directed the latter in the middle of his career comeback. In Charlestown, Boston, Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) and his friends — Jem Coughlin (Jeremy Renner), Albert 'Gloansy' MacGloan (Slaine), and Desmond 'Dez' Elden (Owen Burke) — rob banks in the surrounding area for a local gangster. During one of the holdups, the group takes a hostage, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall), but lets her go unharmed.
Later on, Doug — who wore a mask during the robbery to protect his identity — meets with Claire to learn what she knows about the robbers. He ends up falling in love with her and tries to escape his criminal past. Easier said than done, especially when Doug's employer threatens to hurt Claire.

Happy Gilmore (1996)
This month marks the arrival of Happy Gilmore 2, the highly anticipated sequel featuring Sandler's rambunctious hockey player who surprisingly became a professional golfer. Unfortunately, Happy Gilmore is leaving the service at the end of the month, right as the sequel premieres. Start your rewatches now before it's too late.
Happy Gilmore (Sandler) dreams of becoming a successful hockey player. However, Happy doesn't possess the skills to thrive on the ice, forcing him to find a new career path. When his grandmother's house faces foreclosure, Happy capitalizes on his gift — driving a golf ball over 400 yards — by attempting to make it on the PGA Tour. While Happy's skills have what it takes to hang, his temper and unorthodox style might get him kicked off before he ever plays.

Dunkirk (2017)
Does Christopher Nolan make Oppenheimer without the success of Dunkirk? It's hard to tell. However, Dunkirk clearly scratched Nolan's World War II itch, one that would lead to his Oscar-winning epic in 2023. Based on the famous operation in WWII, Dunkirk follows a group of Allied forces attempting to escape the beaches of Dunkirk.
Using a nonlinear narrative, Nolan depicts the evacuation on three battlefronts: air, land, and sea. The soldiers race towards freedom across the English Channel as the movie unfolds with a sense of urgency. With a rapid 106-minute runtime, Dunkirk proves Nolan has the goods to deliver an epic spectacle that's deeply moving and thrilling.
Stream Dunkirk on Netflix.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
The last two directors to helm live-action Superman movies are James Gunn and Zack Snyder. Back in 2004, the two filmmakers collaborated on the remake of Dawn of the Dead, with Gunn penning the script and Snyder directing. In the Milwaukee area, a zombie outbreak decimates the population. Ana (Sarah Polley) and a group of survivors manage to find shelter in a local mall.
As the group learns more about the zombies' habits, they determine that the only way to ensure survival is to escape the city on a boat. With Gunn's witty humor and Snyder's fast-paced action, Dawn of the Dead is a remake that stands out and justifies its existence. It also makes you wonder what would have happened to Snyder's DC Extended Universe if Gunn wrote the scripts.

'The View' host Sunny Hostin warns Colbert cancellation could lead to the 'dismantling of our Constitution'
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin warned on Tuesday that CBS canceling Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" could be the start of the "dismantling of our Constitution." CBS announced Thursday "The Late Show" will end in May at the end of its broadcast season. Though CBS and parent company Paramount said the choice to cancel the series was "purely a financial decision," and the show was reportedly losing the network $40 million a year, many liberal commentators claim it was for political reasons. Just days before the cancellation, Colbert slammed Paramount's recent settlement with President Donald Trump over his lawsuit against "60 Minutes" as a "big fat bribe" ahead of a pending merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. Hostin and her fellow co-hosts were also skeptical of CBS' explanation for canceling Colbert's show based on the "timing" of the announcement. She pointed out that if politics were involved, then the fabric of democracy could be in jeopardy. "My concern is, if it is political, then everyone should be concerned. People on the right should be concerned. People on the left should be concerned. Because it's very clear that, if it is political, this is the dismantling of our democracy. This is the dismantling of our Constitution. Right?" Hostin said to the cheering of the studio audience. She continued, "The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason and that is freedom of the press, freedom of speech. Freedom to speak truth to power. If that is taken away, if the comedians are being attacked, then that means our Constitution is being dismantled… That means the very rubric of our democracy is being dismantled. And I think every single person should be really, really concerned about it." Hostin praised Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for speaking up on the issue and demanding answers. Several other high-profile Democrats also spoke out against canceling Colbert, whose show was openly favorable to their party while hostile to Republicans. "We must protect our Constitution and we must protect our democracy! This is bigger than just the cancellation of a television show!" Hostin exclaimed. Her co-host Joy Behar blamed Trump for Colbert's cancellation and warned "all bets are off" if comedians are taken down. "It's always been the role of the court jester to make fun of the king. That is the role of comedians. I have said on this show, I think I said it years ago, when they start coming for the comedian, all bets are off, because the king is supposed to take the hits and this guy has a skin thinner than, I don't know, than this card," Behar said, holding one up. Colbert fired back against Trump on his show Monday night after the president celebrated his show ending on Truth Social, writing, "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. "How dare you, sir?" Colbert responded. "Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f--- yourself."
