2. Ex Machina, 2015

This brilliant sci-fi thriller combines stunning visuals with thought-provoking concepts.

3. Headhunters, 2011, 2012

This Norwegian thriller is dark and twisted, and it’s sure to get your blood pumping.

4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 2009

David Fincher remade the original Swedish thriller, which was a mystery thriller. As with “Murder on the Orient Express,” the wealthy patron hires a journalist and a scrappy hacker to solve a murder. Compared to the previous iteration, this one moves more slowly and pays more attention to the smallest of details. When it comes to casting, sincerity always beats out physical attractiveness. Aesthetics and thrills are equally valued in theater productions. In the story, however, character depth triumphs over dramatic tension. Noomi Rapace’s Lisbeth Salander has more room to express her mysticism and enigmatic nature thanks to this. Danish directorNiels Arden Oplev expertly combines all the elements to create a film that will live long in the memory..

5. Frost/Nixon, 2008

A film that appears to be about politics but is actually about entertainment and relevance. In reality, the story revolves around a journalist’s quest for the perfect interview on television. After the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon withdrew from public view. He hoped that a series of interviews he gave three years later would help him redeem himself. David Frost, a British reality TV host, is assigned by his team to sit in front of him. They stand to gain nothing by working together, as Frost tries to get Nixon to admit to wrongdoing during the Watergate scandal that he never did. Who will emerge victorious in this contest? You are either a master manipulator or a rising journalist. Frost/Nixon was adapted from a play, and it’s full of tension and packed with great lines of dialogue.

6. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, 2005

This film marks Robert Downey Jr.’s triumphant return to the big screen, and it’s a spoof of classic noir and detective movies. In addition to Val Kilmer’s hilarious performance as private investigator Gay Perry, and Downey Jr.’s hilarious turn as ex-con robber turned actor Harry Lockhart, the film’s tongue-in-cheek tone is smart, witty, and delivers. The action is top-notch, the laughs are almost constant, and the mystery is compelling because it is directed by the man who directed Lethal Weapon. It’s incredible that no one noticed this when it was first released.

7. Moon, 2009

It’s a sci-fi film, but it doesn’t seem to mind. It has nothing to do with outer space or extraterrestrial life. An industrialized society’s dehumanizing effect is explored through the story of a man who is trying to figure out who he is. You’ll have a pit in your stomach and an overwhelming sense of melancholy after seeing the Moon. Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey’s voice work wonders in this. Moon keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. In my opinion, a masterpiece that sci-fi fans and general moviegoers alike should see.

8. Four Lions, 2010

A dark comedy about failed British terrorists that blends realism with humor.

9. Serenity, 2005

Continuing the story from the television series Firefly, Serenity is a sci-fi film set in the future (2002-2003). It centers on the captain (Nathan Fillion) and crew of a spaceship that acts as a courier for cargo and smuggling operations throughout the galaxy. The story follows their exploits. Meanwhile, an assassin is on the prowl for a nefarious young psychic girl and her brother, who are carrying secrets that could jeopardize the entire galactic government (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Serenity is Joss Whedon’s (The Avengers) first feature-length film, and it’s a fun and action-packed one, with memorable characters and plenty of wry humor. The show stands on its own and is a pleasure to watch without requiring prior knowledge of the original.

11. The Man from Earth, 2007

It begins with John Oldman, the film’s protagonist, packing up his belongings to move away and start a new life. He arranges a farewell party for his friends and decides to tell them why he’s leaving. First, Oldman poses the following simple question to his friends: what would an upper paleolithic human’s face look like today if he had lived to this day? The protagonists pretend to be scientists and investigate the mystery, but they have no idea if the story is a joke or a real account. One of the best films I’ve seen in a long time, and one of the most overlooked.

Ink, a critically acclaimed independent American fantasy film, has become a surprise global hit.

A series of vividly realized dream sequences in the film demonstrate that no matter what life throws at you, the decision is ultimately yours. This leaves the viewer with the simple message that, yes, there is hope.

This is a lovely film about Tom and Gerri, a lovely older couple. It chronicles a year in the lives of the couple, including their work, social life, and gardening endeavors. They have simple but satisfying lives, and they appear to be mostly content and in love, which is unusual in films. Most people will find this tedious, but because it was directed by Mike Leigh, the film is a heartwarming and realistic look at love and how people spend their time when they are together. We should all be as fortunate as the film’s central couple in terms of having a happy marriage and happy lives.

15. Wristcutters: A Love Story, 2006

Wristcutters: A Love Story is an existential comedy about a young man named Zia (Patrick Fugit) who kills himself and wakes up in a bleak afterlife full of other suicide victims. To find his former partner, he ventures into the gloomy realm where they’ve both been dropped off. When Zia and a group of acquaintances decide to embark on a road trip in search of love and redemption, the movie transforms into a macabre horror film. An award-winning Israeli writer Etgar Karet’s short story inspired Wristcutters, a visually stunning film that will stay with viewers for the rest of their lives.
