It's an essential watch to better understand America's shameful past and present. Sorry Mank , you aren't the best black-and-white film on Netflix. Not even close. It's both quiet and epic in scope, balancing a fascinating relationship between a hard-working woman named Cleo and the family that relies on her, unforgettable shots involving hundreds of extras, and a sensitive story on life bubbling under the surface.

Bong Joon-ho 's cult classic is set years in the future when climate change has turned the Earth into a giant snowball, and the last of humanity lives on a train that perpetually circles the globe. While the rich wine and dine in the cars at the front, the poor are crammed into the rear of the locomotive, where Chris Evans plays a man who sparks a dangerous revolution. I have one piece of advice for you if you decide to hit play on Uncut Gems : Don't go in with any Adam Sandler -related expectations.

Josh and Benny Safdie 's frenetic crime thriller, in which he plays Howard, a gambling-addicted jeweler in New York's Diamond District, is the Sandman's way of reminding us that he has pretty incredible range as an actor. Howard's a guy whose lifestyle is becoming increasingly unmanageable -- he's in the middle of separating from his wife Idina Menzel , trying to keep his girlfriend Julia Fox happy, and has recently come into possession of an item he believes will save him from his many debts: a rare black opal from Ethiopia, which is allegedly worth millions.

Uncut Gems isn't technically a horror film, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat like one, and you'll probably yell at your screen watching Howard try to fast-talk his way out of yet another confrontation. Come for the sight of Adam Sandler in transition lenses, stay for an excellent performance from first-time actor Kevin Garnett.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Homecoming is perhaps the best, most impactful concert film of at least the past few years. It's called Homecoming because of the way it evokes traditions made popular by homecoming concerts at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and it's maybe the most entertaining history lesson you'll ever get.

Also, there's a pitch-perfect Destiny's Child reunion. We love to see it. Alice Wu 's teen dramedy will surprise you in all the best ways. It starts out familiar: Outsider and introvert Ellie Chu Leah Lewis begrudgingly agrees to help dumb jock Paul Munsky Daniel Diemer woo the pretty and popular Aster Flores Alexxis Lemire by writing her love letters in Paul's name, but what Paul doesn't know is that Ellie is also in love with Aster yes, this is more or less the premise of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Of course eventually the ruse is exposed and feelings hurt and hearts mended. In the end, however, The Half of It is less a movie that cares about who ends up with who and more about Ellie finally opening herself up to the world, letting people like Paul and Aster and her very sweet dad in, and well, living.

It's a smart and heartwarming coming-of-age story that final train scene! The teen rom-com stars Asian American actress Lana Condor as Lara Jean Covey, a hopelessly romantic high schooler who pens letters to all her crushes in order to get her abundance of emotions out. But when those love letters are mailed out to the crushes by her younger sister, she's mortified -- especially because one is delivered to her older sister's boyfriend, Josh Israel Broussard.

To cover up her feelings for Josh, Lara Jean begins fake dating the popular and charming Peter Noah Centineo -- another love letter recipient who wants to make his ex jealous -- but old feelings die hard.

Once you've finished it, check out its sequels, P. I Still Love You , which introduces yet another recipient of Lara Jean's letters, and Always and Forever , the third and final film in the saga. Ali Wong co-wrote this romantic comedy in which she stars as Sasha, a celebrity chef who returns home to the Bay Area to open a new restaurant and runs into her former childhood friend, Marcus co-writer Randall Park.

Before he got recruited by the Marvel machine, Taika Waititi made Hunt for the Wilderpeople , an adventure dramedy about a young delinquent Julian Dennison and his reluctant foster dad Sam Neill who, after a series of mishaps and misunderstandings, become the targets of a manhunt.

They go into survival mode as they hide out in the New Zealand wilderness, running into a cast of oddball characters as they evade the police. As is the case with these things, the longer they stay out on their own, the closer they get.

Waititi's signature comedic style is what makes the whole thing really shine. There are a lot of teen comedies on this list, but to be fair, this is the only one that stars Stranger Things ' Natalia Dyer as a Catholic high school student in the year who has an eye-opening experience in an AOL chat again, it's the year , both sexually and about how the world works.

In line with Pen15 , Lady Bird , and Booksmart , this is one of those great, smart movies that let teen girls be weird and gross and hilarious. Martin Scorsese loves telling stories about almost-great men undone by their own hubris, and The Irishman is the latest example of that. It's an epic about power and betrayal, and contains easily the best performance De Niro's given in years.

Much like The Royal Tenenbaums and Succession , The Meyerowitz Stories is about dysfunctional adult siblings who have grown up in their father's shadow and are now struggling to function because of it. The siblings in question are Danny Adam Sandler , a divorced, unemployed father whose daughter has recently started college, Jean Elizabeth Marvel , an unhappy Xerox employee, and Matthew Ben Stiller , a successful financier who's separated from his wife.

Their flighty, eccentric father is Harold Dustin Hoffman , an artist. It's very much one of those movies Noah Baumbach loves to make, where you simply follow the characters around for a while and get a look inside their weird lives. If you're into that, you'll be all over this. A marriage unravels in Noah Baumbach's latest, as Charlie Adam Driver and Nicole Scarlett Johansson try to keep themselves afloat during their divorce.

In s Los Angeles, struggling musician-comedian Rudy Ray Moore Eddie Murphy decides to create a raunchy alter ego named Dolemite in effort to get noticed.

In between helping to return her to her family, he does his usual job of traveling to towns and reading newspapers for a small fee.

Don't expect high-octane action: This road movie is fueled more by character development and the beautiful views. Still, you'll want to settle in for a comforting ride with pure sympathetic Hanks at the steering wheel. The Coen Brothers kick up the western dust with an anthology film that gives you six vignettes all set on the American frontier.

One of them is about the titular Buster Scruggs, a chipper singing cowboy who casually sets off a shoot-up in a cantina. But there's a dark twist that keeps you on your toes. Sewing the rest of its stories together with a constant black humor, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a Coen Brothers winner.

Part cheeky dark comedy, part surreal environmental thriller, Okja follows a young South Korean farmer girl whose pet pal is a genetically enhanced super-pig. But Okja is the target of a big corporation that wants her delicious flesh.

Spanning the lives of its mobsters over multiple decades, The Irishman pulls off a 3-and-a-half-hour crime saga. But don't worry -- you can break up this tour de force if you need to.

Always clever and entertaining, with Martin Scorsese favorites Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci commanding the screen, The Irishman creeps up on you, offering a haunting look at aging mobsters and the havoc they wreak.

Director Cary Joji Fukunaga gives you a sobering look at the life of a boy who becomes a child soldier in a West African country embroiled in civil war. Idris Elba stars as the ruthless Commandant along with the astonishing Abraham Attah as the young Agu.

A confronting yet quietly hopeful snapshot of war from a human perspective, Beasts of No Nation needs to be on your radar if it isn't already.

Chris Evans turns his Captain America charisma and command to its darkest incarnation as Curtis, the man at the forefront of the rebellion who leads the charge to take over the engine room. Along the way, Snowpiercer travels through the caste system of the train cars, each new carriage a bizarre and fully-rendered habitat of its own, and paints a microcosmic picture of a warped society entirely contained on a single train.
