From the same director
Donnie Brasco
Mike Newell (director of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral') may seem like an odd choice for a crime drama initially. However, the filmmaker managed to make 'Donnie Brasco' one of the best films of the 1990s with a story based on the real-life experiences of FBI agent Joseph Pistone. Al Pacino and Johnny Depp co-starring is one of the best things you can see from that decade.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
In 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter adolescence. Love problems, first fights, and initial discomfort arise. In addition, director Mike Newell (of the comedy 'Four Weddings and a Funeral') takes advantage of the atmosphere of the Triwizard Tournament and builds a kind of school comedy of manners. There is the bully, the good guy, and the heroine. All this to create a different atmosphere and show that Harry Potter's magical world goes beyond the walls of Hogwarts, expanding its final possibilities. And it is worth remembering: the movie has one of the most anguishing and strongest endings of the entire saga, with Lord Voldemort finally taking shape.
Romance
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
Me Before You
Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.
