“Why can’t we all just get along?”
Neil Blomkamp’s Chappie wasn’t nearly as well-received as District 9. But it’s a strange, scattered film with enough interesting ideas to make it worth seeing, even if it doesn’t add up to much. Available 9/1
This cult comedy follows a team of D-tier superheroes trying their best to save the world. Not all of its jokes have aged well, but the great performances by its incredible cast certainly have. Available 9/1
Jaws was so scary back in 1975, it gave sharks a bad rap for decades. Its sequels push the killer shark series even further out of the realm of reality, but they’re not nearly as good as the original. Available 9/16
Mars Attacks! has gained a cult following since it bombed on release, but it’s still ludicrously underrated for how much of a blast it is. Its pitch-black humor still holds up and aging special effects only sell its B-movie pastiche better with time. Available 9/1
HBO Max just dropped Blade Runner: The Final Cut in August, only for Netflix to pick it back up. The Final Cut is the most complete version of the sci-fi classic, and it’s worth a watch even if you’ve already seen the original. Available 9/1
