Movies with a deeper meaning

Movies that conquer social issues

This movie has so much attention to detail and respect for the cultures it represents. I truly believe this movie has a bit of something for everyone to learn from. A masterfully done film about racism, cultural appropriation, slavery, and vampires.
Watch Sinners | Prime Video

A movie about code switching and modern day slavery that truly dives into the twisted minds of capitalist giants. This movie had me screaming in shock. Just watch it.
Watch Sorry To Bother You | Prime Video

A movie about coming out, assuming sexuality and figuring out who you are. This movie will make you cry like 5 times and still be one of the best you’ve ever seen.
Watch Love, Simon

This twisted thriller follows a drag queen who is brutally attacked and later meets her attacker out of drag and begins a romance with him to seek out revenge.
Femme (2023)

Not everything is as it seems in this small suburban town. Another movie that’s best to go in blind.
Don't Worry Darling

Horror

The perfect combination of gory, romantic, campy and unique, Heart Eyes is one of my favorite newer slasher movies!

Smile 2 really takes where the 1st movie left off and runs with it. It feels much more rounded and better thought out than the first in my opinion. Naomi Scott is AMAZING in this. A+ soundtrack. This movie is unsettling in the best ways.
Smile 2 (2024)

A satirical thriller in which a group of teens gather in a mansion during a hurricane and slowly find themselves being killed off one by one.
Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

I guarantee right now that NOPE is unlike any horror movie you have seen before. This is one of those movies that is best to go into knowing next to nothing about it. With familiar faces like Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun and Daniel Kaluuya that work beau...
Nope

This movie is truly unsettling. When their grandmother dies, this family sorts through her memories and belongings and find something darker lurking within their family.
Watch Hereditary | Prime Video

For the girls

This movie is genuinely so funny and sweet in a twisted gothic 80s way and I love that.
Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
 
Addi Grider profile picture
This is one of those comedies that I don’t see talked about enough but is genuinely so funny. Babes is centered on two best friends, one of which decides to have a baby on her own, and how their friendship evolves and grows as their lives change.
Babes

A movie about a high schooler who is learning to love herself no matter what others label her. This movie is funny and sweet and a classic choice for when you are in the mood for a romcom

I am such a huge SZA fan honestly. She and Keke Palmer were amazing in this movie, they have such great chemistry on screen and will have you laughing out loud! A funny and heartwarming movie about two best friends just trying to make it
One of Them Days

This movie is truly absurd and that’s part of the reason it’s so good. Based on a real life group of friends who, even as adults, take a game of tag way too far.
Tag (2018)
 
Addi Grider profile picture
This movie is one to watch when you want to laugh. It is a truly stupid and absurd movie which is what makes it so good. Dave Franco play Dave Skylark, a late show host that no one takes seriously, who is able to secure an interview with the reclusiv...
The Interview (2014)
