Trailer
Why watch this film?
The success of the classic 'Beverly Hills Cop' called for a sequel, which managed to stay as good as the original movie. Following the first film, the script continues to be well-constructed, even if it is simple, the big difference is the greater number of action scenes. 'Beverly Hills Cop II' still brings the good jokes from its predecessor, but this time, Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) has bigger problems to deal with. With the increase in adrenaline, there is even a homage to Sylvester Stallone, who was one of the icons of the time. In one of the scenes it is possible to see a poster of the long 'Stallone Cobra' - which, it is worth saying, was recorded from an unused script for the first 'Beverly Hills Cop'. The role of Foley, in fact, was originally written for Sylvester Stallone.

Plot summary
Axel Foley (Murphy) is back-back where he doesn't belong! He's going "deep, deep, deep undercover" into the chic wilds of Southern California, unleashing his arsenal of blazing gunfire and rapid-fire gags against a gang of international munitions smugglers. Back, too, are Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as Murphy's crime-busting sidekicks. And Top Gun's director Tony Scott keeps the pace fast, furious and funny.

From the same director
The Hunger
One of the most forgotten films by director Tony Scott ("Top Gun: Passion and Glory") is also one of his most original, albeit irregular. "The Hunger" is an erotic horror film that returns to the vampire figure one of its most striking characteristics: its sensuality. The pace is almost parsimonious to the point of excess, as the director emphasizes more style and production design, which are spectacular on their own (and have earned it its cult status in gothic culture). The unbeatable trio of Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon overflows with sensuality on screen.
Days of Thunder
"Days of Thunder" is certainly the purest popcorn cinema of the late 1980s to early 1990s, summarizing both its mistakes and successes. A young Tom Cruise plays Cole Trickle, a talented and hot-headed race car driver trying his luck in NASCAR. At times, the movie recalls the plot of "Top Gun" (also from the same director, Tony Scott) and at other times, adds new elements. There are problems with character construction and the dialogue is far from good, but the production makes up for it with great (for the time) action scenes, races and accidents on the racetracks. There is also a good performance by Robert Duvall as the team boss, inspired by the legendary Harry Hyde, plus lots of chemistry on screen between Cruise and future wife Nicole Kidman. All this is backed by a soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer ("Inception" and "The Lion King"). No wonder "Days of Thunder" was a repeated figure on American TV repeats in the early 90s, helping to boost NASCAR fever in the country. For those looking for adrenaline in the style of the past, even without a great story to sustain it.
Top Gun
One of the great popcorn classics from the 1980s, directed by Tony Scott ("Days of Thunder") and starring the trio Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis. The plot is about a group of Air Force pilots who go to the base in San Diego, California, to become the greatest aces of the sky. It's not one of the most elaborate films in history, far from it, but there is all that popcorn atmosphere of the time, which turned 'Top Gun' into a classic of TV reruns. No wonder the bar used in one of the classic scenes of the film is now a tourist spot.
Comedy
Psychic by Accident
In the plot, at the age of 40, architect Ulisses (Otaviano Costa), skeptical of his career and unsure of his talents, visits a “vocational coach” who promises to find people’s true vocation. After drinking suspicious tea offered by the professional in her crazy ritual, Ulisses blacks out and has his belongings stolen. But mysteriously he leaves there with a strange power: discovering, with just a touch, people's true vocation.
Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie
Monk steps out of retirement as his stepdaughter’s wedding turns tragic when her fiancé dies in a bungee jumping accident.
Descendants: The Rise of Red
The daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella travel back in time to prevent a coup in Auradon.
Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
