Imagine a planet where there is only spice. Water is like gold. Special uniforms have to be made to retain water from the body and keep you alive. Gigantic Warms cross its deserts bringing only fear and destruction. There are conquerors who want to make the most profit and the conquered who learned to adjust to the circumstances and live in hiding. In times of political unrest and betrayal, only a boy, Paul Atreides, can make a difference. But is the legend true and the righteous can get back to their power? Can a boy born to a Bene Gesserit bear the burden of being a leader? A cult 1965 Frank Herbert's book adapted for the 1984 movie, now refreshed. Dune.

 You can live your quiet, uneventful life, not bothering anyone, getting in trouble, or aiming too high in life or career opportunities. But trouble tends to find you. What if you were mistaken for a millionaire with a reckless wife and thrown into a crime you had no intention of getting involved in? What if someone pissed on your carpet, and while having no other grudges, this one was offensive enough to trigger your anger? What if you were called like someone else, and this surname made you entangled in a weird family situation and placed among some greedy enemies? The Big Lebowski. When a guy just can't be left on his own. Enjoy.

 When you look at the pictures of couples that have spent their lives together and celebrated decades, you want that for yourself. You want that company, that happiness, that time, and that love. Success, money, and health are just a part of life. Another part contains the downs you agree on at the altar. And you know that the downs will be coming and testing you and your love. Those downs can be like monsters, and you'll be afraid. It's easy to run away and find something less scary, to go back to grade one while you're graduating. But true love is not just pictures and anniversaries. Love is moments in between. What if your relationship is changing due to an incurable disease, and you're there to witness it? Two men in love and a trip down a memory lane and coping with life's hard tasks. Supernova.

Life gets boring, problematic, and stressful. You're not as good as you wish you'd be, and it's no point denying that you're on the right path to success. What if you could make it just a bit less tiresome? A bit more exciting? A bit more relaxed? What if drinking just a bit of alcohol every day could solve your life problems? Experiments can be dangerous. Limits once set might be too narrow. And substance abuse is a long and windy road that can take you to the top and pull you down as just as easy. Drunk - a great picture of the drinking rollercoaster and a few guys adding to their lives a bit (and a bit more) buzz. 

 For an average person, it takes a lifetime to finally own a home, save up enough for retirement and enjoy the autumn of their lives, spending what was once earned by hard work. But if you want to have a lot and you want it fast, you have to act in a different way. Acquiring lifetime savings of lonely elderly, imprisoning them in care, at the same time building a safety nest for oneself, and creating a clever machine that seems to work clockwork is one way to act. However, not all old ladies and gentle and polite. Some might be related to dangerous people with dangerous methods. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. So if they want to get you killed... you know the rest of the story. A great portrayal of a strong woman and some food for thought on where to draw the line between personal success and the violation of basic human rights. I Care a Lot.

If you have a matter to solve, you want to get the job done, don't you? And when the issue concerns the killing of your father, you want to hire the best possible person to make sure the villain will be caught and punished accordingly. And it doesn't matter that you are just a teenage girl in the brutal world of Wild West surrounded by unscrupulous criminals when justice rarely sees the light of day. A unique friendship, an unlikely bond and a quest towards one girl's justice. True Grit.

Remember Groundhog Day? Thirty years on you can have the same concept adjusted to modern circumstances. And what reliving the same day over and over, and over again means for the 2020s? Is it the same as Bill Murray's never-ending nightmare which led to self-reflection or in time have we changed and our experiences, social contacts, and relationships are relevant only for us? This time, we can see both sides of the spectrum, the perspective of a man, and an equally lost woman. Is there a way out of this time trap? A tragic and funny portrait of us, people, who lost something important, and are numb by the routine and offerings of adulthood. Palm Springs.

 Not only actors can act with their mimicry and gestures. The world of fantasy is opened to more than green-screen special effects. It can be created by hours of work, costume design, and arts and crafts. And the result is one of a kind. You can call them puppets, but once you enter their realm, you will buy their unique faces and movements, and soon forget that they aren't real. You will befriend Jen, Kira, and Fizzgig and you will see Skeksis - one of the scariest and appalling antagonists ever created (maybe apart from Peter Jackson's Orks). A very special film, with amazing quality of design, characters, and story-telling, and a dark fable of a boy who is about to end the domination of evil. No wonder Netflix turned it into a series. 1982' The Dark Crystal.

 Are you fond of fairy tales? You can argue that they are for children, but written by adults, they have at least a pinch of truth in them. Do you believe in true love? Are you a fan of quests, castles, princesses in distress, and magic? Righteous knights and evil princes? Giants and revenge? And maybe a bit of humor? Then, a perfect story awaits, which still resonates with viewers and fans, despite the passing of time. A good "old" classic, The Princess Bride.

 It's one thing if you're moody, mean, and unpleasant. Or when one moment you're blissful and another devastated, spoiling the mood of everyone around you. Your friends and family might think that you're difficult or toxic to handle. But if inside you there were multiple personalities with their unique language, style, age, and life philosophy? And what if these personalities were not necessarily on the side of good? Three young girls kidnapped by a seemingly one troubled individual and trying to escape. And food for thought for all those who believe that there's more to us than just a one-person-one-body equation. Many great Jameses McAvoy in Split.

 We've all been there. We have seen he said vs she said rape investigations, we have experienced discrimination at work, we had to fight against our father's, brother's, male politician's, and partner's wishes and ideas about our career choices, maternity decisions, and beliefs. Is there anything we, women, can do to finally feel equal? Is there a way to stop mistreatment and discrimination? Is there anything we can do to stop this porn-inspired, male-dominated world with uneven pays, uneven prospects, and double standards? Let's start with revenge. A sweet girl can do much more than make-up. So important in these times and a step towards the light when the world can be something else than another Handmaid's Tale. Promising Young Woman - a film every man (and a woman) should see at some point in their lives to finally learn. 

If there is a series of films, which made magic come true in the most spectacular way, which influenced generations in the past and generations to come, it's impossible to omit the legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien. If there had ever been a more challenging writer, who created not only a story but entire worlds with their own languages, legends, and history, the film adaptation of his work must have been equally challenging. But the real world provides an abundance of talent and means which just wait for the right moment, the right budget, and the right director. Peter Jackson created something so unique and pure, so magnificent and epic, that it will be remembered and rewatched year after year by people all over the world and it will reach fandoms of younger and younger fans. The Hobbit chronologically started with one Bilbo Baggins agreeing on a quest with thirteen crazy dwarves and a wizard, and The Lord of the Rings started with one Frodo Baggins continuing the legacy of what had been found and what needed to be destroyed. And that beginning found us among Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, People, good in acts of kindness, paralyzing and maddening evil, forbidden love, heartbreaking loss, exciting adventure, and a quest for change. And it's been one of the most positive things that ever happened to all movie-goers, whether fantasy fans or not. These six films are truly remarkable. The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings.
