“Straight outta compton” & “Love and Basketball”
Andrew Bunker • Feb 27, 2017 at 1:28 PM
id recommend doctor strange it was a great movie and marvel did a great job with this one
if you have seen this and you liked it we also may be seeing Steven Strange (Doctor Strange) in Thor Ragnarok but only in a small cameo but Hulk is definitely going to be in it
Luke Socha • Feb 27, 2017 at 1:19 PM
Shiloh is a fantastic movie. This movie is about a abused Beagle dog who runs from his owner and finds a new loving boy, but of course the owner comes looking for him. It is based off of events that occurred in Friendly, WV.
Megan Filipkowski • Feb 27, 2017 at 1:13 PM
I recommend Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. It’s kind of scary yet interesting and also very entertaining.
Nicholas Bergman • Feb 27, 2017 at 8:05 AM
Rings was a good thriller/suspenseful movie that left you on the edge of your seat. Good film, would see it again.
Dyony Bueno • Feb 27, 2017 at 7:40 AM
I recommend you guys to watch Finding Dory. As everyone knows in finding Nemo, Dory has short term memory loss. In finding Dory she starts to get flashbacks of her life when she was young and memories about her parents. She then goes on a journey to look for her family.
Lukas Cardoni • Feb 24, 2017 at 12:58 PM

Gabriella Solano • Feb 24, 2017 at 9:39 AM
What lies beneath
Daniel Varghese • Feb 24, 2017 at 8:07 AM
Inception was good
Nia Skeet • Feb 24, 2017 at 8:06 AM
I mean, Studio Ghibli movies have pretty cute messages as well as one of the loveliest animations I have seen. Like I honestly love Spirited Away.
Jackie Bauer • Feb 24, 2017 at 7:59 AM
Divergent, the movie keeps you on your toes wondering what is going to happen next, it follows the book really well plus, it has Theo James in it playing Tobius Eaton
Kira • Feb 14, 2017 at 8:00 AM
Lord of the Rings Trilogy & The Hobbit Trilogy all directors cut my absolute favourite
melissa drummond • Feb 14, 2017 at 7:10 AM

Doctor Strange, and Fantastic Beasts were both great movies, they’re both great scrips and the special effects and cgi were great.
Naomi Hineline • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:50 AM
Passengers is a movie involving adventure, romance, and distruction.
Shanna-Kay • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:30 AM
Spilt- quirky, sense of humor, riveting
Jon • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:28 AM
Scarface- it was something
Dan Sorrenti • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:20 AM
“Split” was an amazing story, flim, and narrative.
Gabe Mazza • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:29 AM
I also enjoyed the flim
Mara • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:05 AM
“Arrival” was really cool.
Lucas Wesselius • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:04 AM
“Look who’s back again” a satirical film that mocks politics, while showing the underlying causes to the populist movements in elections.
Nylah Safforld • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:01 AM
Hidden Figures– Great Movie- Informative and Exciting. It is a must see!
Saheim Clervoix • Feb 3, 2017 at 10:00 AM

Brendan Baxter • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:17 AM
Some other good ones are Return to Oz and Labyrinth
Michelle Daniel • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:17 AM
My favorite movie is la la land. I was so deeply involved and affected by this movie, I found it difficult to go back to reality. Took some time to recover, and, yes, I’m a romantic at heart and love musicals, but mostly theatrical. It’s awesome to be pulled into story and dread the end.
Marisa • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:16 AM
I recommend the split
Bart • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:15 AM
My favorite movie is “Gone in 60 seconds”.
Victoria • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:14 AM
I feel that people should watch the movie any of the ” National Lampoon’s Vacation” movies.
Marcin • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:14 AM
I recommend Hacksaw Ridge. Andrew Garfield is really good in it.
Brendan Baxter • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:13 AM
A movie I recommend would be Beetlejuice because it’s a mix of horror and comedy,is a classic Tim Burton film and of course has Winona Rider who is awesome
Mark McDonald • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:13 AM
Sully was a great movie. It tells a great story of when Captain Chesley Sullenberger landed his plane on the Hudson River.
Marcin Ksepka • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:12 AM
Fast and Furious series
Eric Serbin • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:11 AM
Monty Python and the Holy Grail – A hilarious movie that mocked a lot of Christianity and Catholicism and never fails to make a great joke.
Brendan Baxter • Feb 3, 2017 at 9:14 AM
Good film
