When you make plans, you have to take into account the unexpected. Especially, when big money is at stake and the world, in general, doesn't want to cooperate with you. Or you're simply unlucky. Getting money from the ransom and arranging your wife's kidnapping might not be a piece of cake. The same goes with hiring a group of totally not like-minded people, renting a room in an old lady's house, which seems to be a perfect starting point, and planning a casino robbery. Even though on paper it looks like an easy way to become a millionaire, the consequences might be tragic. Or hilarious. Coen brothers' humor and two plans for a better future which for some end in a disaster. Enjoy.

 We all come from somewhere: our current location, dream job and desired destination in the world of emigrants and immigrants cannot wipe out our roots. And these roots, entangling our toes, feet, and ankles, remind us of long-forgotten history, ancestry, and family. But in the melting pot of new traditions, Starbucks' culture, borrowed ideas, foreign fashion and languages isn't it good to go back to the square one and appreciate our own uniqueness, diversity and depth? Maybe family meetings are great lesson of being humble and in peace with oneself? All cultures, however, have their unwritten rules which need to be accepted. One of Chinese traditions is lying to someone who is about to die about their actual health. Knowing that someone dear to you is sick, can you really blend in and maintain a lie? The Farewell.

  Seventeen is not really a dream come true age to get pregnant. That's right, you can glorify it in teen reality TV dramas about how teenage girls try to juggle growing up and motherhood, but you can have a better idea about your future and not really want a child in it (either at all or for now). But your country/state/politics might not help you to deal with your situation especially when you're left without the support of your family, friends, and a boyfriend. You might have to find money, travel miles, and take with you someone who you can trust the most. A Thelma-and-Louise-like journey with a contemporary problem. How to deal with the world when you're a young woman in the country full of religious fanatics and irrational paradoxes? How valuable does a real friendship turn out to be, and why so many of us, young women, will find it a heart-warming story about a heartbreaking life choice. Unpregnant. 

 We love the lives of the rich, beautiful, and successful. However, there are only a few of those who will have a chance to enjoy luxury lives without limits. The reality is far harsher. Some of us will at some point in our lives lose their jobs, witness the break-up of their marriages, and face the struggle with the system that doesn't respect the old, weak, sick, or in need. How humiliating can be acquiring help from officials, dealing with people's lack of imagination, unwillingness, and indifference? Why can it happen to us all, many of whom are just one salary away from being homeless, hungry, or in debt? Why providing for your children forces you to take up any profession, even one socially condemned? A story of an unusual friendship in need and one man's fight with the British social system: I am Daniel Blake. 

 We got used to male detectives: Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot occupied our consciousness for decades. What we needed was someone new and fresh. And a woman. Because what was for decades ignored by others, was female intelligence, bravery, and the ability to notice what to man's eye is unseen. So wouldn't you like to engage in a detective mystery and a brave escape from the strict rules of conventions, tight structures of corsets in the male-dominated world of 19th century England? Enola Holmes is a smart aspiring detective and an example to follow for many girls growing up nowadays with access to Netflix. Based on a series of novels by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes. 

 You can't be successful forever and in any profession, there will come younger, more talented and eager. But giving them a chance, might change your outlook on your career and allow you to go with the time dynamics. The values of each generation won't stand the test of time for the younger, just as video casettes were replaced by on demand streaming platforms. But wouldn't it be great to merge experience and reputation with the fresh perspective? Maybe this is what a true cooperation should look like in the changing times, allowing the young to learn and the old to get to know the new exciting stuff. Television is a great example of how experience supports novelty. What if two young women at the beginning of their careers were to face very stubborn established TV personalities and win their hearts? Late Night and Morning Glory. Enjoy.

 Go fight the forces of nature and find out how small you are and how weak! Pride is our greatest sin; our belief in our unstoppable, unsinkable, undefeated - laughed by Mother Nature with countless casualties. And we tend to forget about it just as often as we are reminded. We established rules, which are here to curb our wild tempers but up there, far away at sea, those rules don't apply. Imagine a ship that sets sails to hunt for whales' oil. Imagine a monster whale that can destroy a human plan with one move of its tail. Imagine being lost, stranded, and alone: with death breathing into your neck and choices no one wants to make. Inspired by America's epic Moby Dick, a story of the sea, friendship, and a sense of duty to the core of human values. In the Heart of the Sea.

 We've been obsessed with immortality for centuries. The fact that we believe in Jesus Christ's resurrection, reincarnation, and afterlife tells us that we, people, do fear death and the unknown beyond it, and, having gotten used to the life's charm, would like to prolong our stay on Earth as long as possible. This leads us to the pursuit of life eternal. Imagine people who never die, but heal from every wound and every excruciating unsurvivable crash. Imagine a team of such individuals who meet at some point in history to work together. What can be done with such potential? Is the mystery of immortality reserved for the few selected or should it be available to everybody? Is eternal life possible without pains of the hostile world or does it lead to loneliness and abandonment? And is there really something like a bottomless well of life energy or there's an end to everything? The Old Guard.

 The human body doesn't have the limitless potential and godlike powers. Unfortunately, either the brain or the muscles have finite capacity and can't accomplish the impossible. For anything that should work we need teams. And maybe one Ethan Hunt alone (or if you prefer Tom Cruise alone) wouldn't be able to save his beloved from certain death or the world from collapsing, but with a team of qualified friends, gadgets and technology, a plan and a bit of luck, he might leave you speachless. At the end of the day, is there anything that the cinema can't create? The suspencion of disbelief can allow you to take part in a series of action films and grant you that no mission is impossible indeed. Enjoy. 

 You cannot treat Hollywood too seriously. At the end of the day, it's a business. Award-winning shows, gossip, scandals, blockbusters and flops,  big money, bigger loves, even bigger falls, and sexual exploitation are the background for the hundreds of stories which are just stories with fictitious characters, decorations, and costumes. But what is great about it all is the fact that this business can actually laugh about itself in the way the best Hollywood magic allows. So can you make fun of all historical films, Robin Hood legends, Star Wars glory and the fear of Dracula? Of course, you can. With the naughtiness of a boy, who pokes fun at our naivety and far too serious creator's ideas. Mel Brooks had a gift for being such a naughty clever boy in the middle of Hollywood pompousness. History of the World, Part 1; Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Honestly, so much fun!

 What a better way to be entertained than to engage in a police case of chasing ruthless criminals, with the assassination of Elizabeth II, the President or guests at the Academy Awards in the background? Especially, when your protagonist, a policeman, Sergeant Frank Drebin is not a typical successful representative of the profession. Full of unbelievably bizarre situations, hilarious serendipities, no respect for any kind of authority, be it power, age, and good taste, comes a series of films which after over thirty years can make you laugh and find the situations relatable. At the end of the day, the good guy wins it all along with a beautiful woman, so no time wasted. The Naked Gun.

 There are very few stories that are known by practically everybody in the World, and truthfully so, they deserve to be. Whether you're in your seventies or in your teens, you are familiar with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2D2, C3P0, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padme Amidala, Rey, Kylo Ren, Yoda, and many many more. George Lucas did something unthinkable for the human race. He created a myth, not even claiming to base it on reality, and amassed a cult following of willing, younger and younger fans. He provided children and adults with game ideas, Halloween costumes, and dreams. He launched careers, made personalities alive, inspired toys and gadgets. But also, he left a saga of unforgettable, funny, original characters who are willing to stand up against the forces of evil. Nine films in the saga, spanning from 1977, additional stories and TV series, hours of entertainment: endless possibilities to become a fan yourself. And can there be a greater Force? Star Wars.

 It's funny how as teenagers we dream about our ideal future and as young adults, we tend to plan our lives, marriages, children, careers, but these dreams and plans turn up to have little to do with reality. But can you really plan these things? When all your friends are dating guys their own age can you expect to fall in love with a much older man? Can you dream about being someone's stepmother? Do you picture yourself as a second or third wife? Do you take into account that fairy tales happen usually only in fairy tales and the prince is just a regular guy with a lot of kingdom-related problems and a wandering eye for ladies of the court? What if you (realistically assessing your personal life) decided on single motherhood, but life got in a way? And if you aren't happy with the result, can you really plan a way out? Maggie's Plan.
