Trailer
Why watch this film?
Timeless classic, 'Dirty Dancing' may be the best of the crop of 1980s and 1990s movies involving music, dance, and romance -- there's also 'Flashdance' and 'Footloose'. In the plot, a girl (Jennifer Grey) goes with her parents to a holiday club and, there, ends up getting involved in the world of dance with a more than charming instructor (Patrick Swayze, at the peak of his career). Fun and exciting, the feature film hits not only on the chemistry-filled romance between the two characters, but also has some of the most memorable scenes of the 1980s cinema: it's hard not to get excited with the final dance or the rehearsals full of second intentions. In the end, you live a roller coaster of emotions with these characters, hoping they can stay together while also getting excited with the soundtrack.

Sister Act
One of the great classics of afternoon TV! With lots of sweetness, humor and heart, the movie features a witness (Whoopi Goldberg in one of her most famous roles) who hides in a convent - and, in the process, leads the choir of the institution. Light-hearted, it's one of those movies to watch in agreement (and, if possible, sing along to the big hits like 'My Guy', 'Rescue Me' and 'Oh Happy Day').
Romance
13 Going On 30
Jennifer Garner (Daredevil, TV's "Alias") and Mark Ruffalo (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) star in this hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (Garner) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (Ruffalo). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.
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.
