Mr. Church

If you've watched "1 + 1" and you liked it, then a drama starring Eddie Murphy is what you need. Everything is intertwined in this film: tragedy, happiness, love, unconditional trust and the ability to sacrifice oneself for the welfare of others.

The good story of friendship between a white girl, her cancer-sick mom and their black chef, Mr. Church, reminds us that the greatest wealth in our life is the people close to us, no matter what.

Captain Fantastic

There are seven of them: a father and his six children. They live in a forest, far from civilization. Children have no idea about gadgets, computer games, and the Internet. But they know the Bill of Rights and quantum physics by heart, read "smart" books avidly, know how to hunt, masterfully wield weapons. One day they have to get out into a bustling city, and then the fun begins … This film shows how important it is to recognize oneself as a part of a large friendly family, act as a team, never give up and, in spite of everything, always maintain kindness and childlike spontaneity in the soul.

Collector

The film of one night and one actor - Konstantin Khabensky - turned out to be tense, deep and unpredictable. This is the story of an experienced collector Arthur, who masterfully "knocks" money out of the largest debtors. He does not resort to physical violence, his strong point is psychological influence. Arthur's success is cut short one evening when an unknown person decides to apply the methods of psychological violence to him. The film keeps you in suspense from start to finish, surprisingly evokes sympathy for the representative of the profession, which for many of us only evokes negative associations.

Suicide squad

Shooting, incredible stunts, graphics inspired by the best superhero films and a love story between two psychopaths - Joker and Harley Quinn - is that not what will help while away the winter holiday evening? The tape turned out to be exciting, dynamic, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic. Such a film will not make you cry bitterly, will not “load” you with thoughts for the next week, but is this what you expect from a superhero (in this case, a super villainous) movie? Action is what Suicide Squad takes. And what are the soundtracks! A charge of fighting mood for a month in advance is guaranteed.

Until I meet you

If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of love, choose the romantic drama "Me Before You". Emilia Clarke, who played the lead role in the film, is completely different from her image in Game of Thrones. Immediate, naive, incredibly kind and sharp-tongued, Lou meets Will, completely paralyzed as a result of the accident, who has completely lost his will to live. It seems that such a relationship has no future at all … What will happen next - find out for yourself. Just stock up on paper handkerchiefs. Perhaps they will come in handy.

Doctor Strange

Another superhero film with the inimitable Sherlock in the title role - the Englishman Benedict Cumberbatch. The character of Cumberbatch is both positive and negative at the same time. Incredibly smart and arrogant, he is delightful, you want to watch him. Critics unanimously argue that Doctor Strange has turned out to be one of the best films based on the Marvel Comics Universe in recent years. Do you want spectacles and great acting? Stop your choice on "Doctor Strange". We are sure that the evening with such a film will definitely not be in vain.

Eddie the Eagle

The movie is based on real events. It tells the story of a self-taught athlete named "Eagle" Eddie. Eddie has dedicated his entire life to ski jumping. And Eddie's main dream is to get to the Olympics. If you want to recharge your will for new achievements and victories, be sure to watch Eddie the Eagle. The film teaches you not to stop at difficulties, to unconditionally believe in yourself and your abilities, even if those around you only do what they laugh at your dreams.

Arrival

An excellent choice for those who love films like Interstellar and Contact. Space, aliens, the fate of mankind, a global catastrophe - all of this is combined in "Arrival". The excellent acting performance of Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner deserves special attention. As film critics say, the film has a pleasant aftertaste. I would like to recall in detail all his events and scenes, which, by the way, were filmed very realistically. An excellent choice for an evening viewing with friends.

Crew

A difficult film about representatives of a difficult and dangerous profession. The main role is played by Danila Kozlovsky, who played the ambitious and talented pilot Alexei Gushchin. The film is a remake of the 1979 Soviet disaster film "The Crew". Dynamic and exciting "Crew" -2016 keeps the viewer in suspense from start to finish. The film will appeal to everyone who likes not only to watch a movie in one breath, but also to completely immerse themselves in the events taking place on the screen.

Phantom beauty

Sad and kind, realistic and magical, with a sense of hopelessness and an incredible hope for happiness - all this is about "Phantom Beauty" with Will Smith in the title role.

The film tells about a successful advertiser, whose life went downhill after a personal tragedy. He stopped communicating with old friends, closed in on himself. The only characters to whom he writes letters are Time, Love and Death. The film teaches us to appreciate everything that fate has bestowed upon us. It teaches you to believe in miracles and know that even the most difficult periods in life come to an end.
