  1. Wicked Little Letters (2024)If you enjoy a dash of humor with your mystery, “Wicked Little Letters” is a delightful film set in the 1920s in the English seaside town of Littlehampton. The plot revolves around a series of scandalous letters that stir up trouble among the locals. Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) believes the foul-mouthed Rose (Jesse Buckley) is behind the letters. When a young police inspector (Anjana Vasan) is sent to investigate, she uncovers that not everything is as it seems. Featuring Timothy Spall and Hugh Skinner, this charming film is sure to keep you entertained.

  2. Dumb Money (2023)If Hollywood can make a compelling film about Facebook, wait until you see “Dumb Money.” This captivating comedy-drama delves into the wild events of 2020 when Reddit users sent GameStop’s stock soaring. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film centers on Keith Gill (Paul Dano), a financial analyst whose bullish prediction about GameStop attracts a wave of retail investors, eventually drawing the attention of Wall Street and the government.

  3. The Teacher’s Lounge (2023)This German drama has captured audiences since its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival and is now available on Netflix. It follows Carla Nowak (Leonie Benesch), a dedicated seventh-grade teacher who investigates the accusation of theft against one of her students. As she digs deeper, she faces backlash from her colleagues and uncovers unexpected consequences.

  4. Calibre (2018)For those who appreciate psychological thrillers, “Calibre” is a must-watch. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it follows childhood friends Marcus (Martin McCann) and Vaughn (Jack Lowden) on a hunting trip that turns tragic. A fateful accident forces them to confront their decisions as they scramble to cover their tracks, leading to a gripping narrative filled with tension.

  5. Bank of Dave (2023)In contrast to the darker themes of “Calibre,” “Bank of Dave” offers a heartwarming story. Based on the true story of Dave Fishwick, this feel-good comedy follows Dave (Rory Kinnear) as he attempts to set up a community bank to support local residents. With the odds stacked against him and the government’s historical refusal to grant new banking licenses, Dave’s journey is both uplifting and inspiring.

  6. Gran Turismo (2023)Amid the current wave of video game adaptations, “Gran Turismo” stands out. Directed by Neill Blomkamp, this sports drama tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), who transitions from gaming to real-life racing after joining the inaugural GT Academy. With guidance from a motorsport executive (Orlando Bloom) and a former driver (David Harbour), Jann’s journey is a thrilling ride.

  7. Molly’s Game (2017)Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut brings his signature storytelling style to “Molly’s Game.” Based on Molly Bloom’s memoir, the film follows her transition from competitive skier to the orchestrator of a high-stakes poker ring frequented by Hollywood stars. With Jessica Chastain in the lead role and Idris Elba as her attorney, this biographical drama is captivating and filled with Sorkin’s clever dialogue.
