Set on the mean streets of late ‘70s New York, back when the city was known for its mortality rate as much as its tourist destinations, The Warriors is an action-meditation on tribalism, honor and respect. Walter Hill’s The Warriors is the cinematic exploration of what a Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic future might look like if it existed right alongside our own urbanized populace, on the fringes and outside the notice of polite society. Given that The Guest is a bit more thriller than horror, You’re Next remains Wingard’s best pure horror work to date.- Jim Vorel Hell, it’s even a little funny now and then. The action, importantly, is viscerally shot and impactful, making for a film where each physical confrontation has real, concrete consequences. From there, the story becomes more complex, as motivations and secret histories are revealed. You’re Next immediately sets up a premise that we’ve seen many times before, that of the “home invasion” style of horror-thriller, before subverting the genre’s expectations when our Final Girl proves to be far more adept and capable than any of the audience members realized-a moment that also transforms the film from “home invasion” into more of a pure slasher.

A closer inspection of the film’s themes reveal a much bleaker conclusion-and, no, those aren’t “aliens.” - Oktay Ege Kozak It’s not as cold or distant as Kubrick’s films tend to be, but not as maudlin and manipulative as Spielberg’s films can become-and before the ending is brought out as proof of Spielberg’s failure, it should be noted that the film’s dark coda was actually Kubrick’s idea, adamant that the ending not be meddled with moreso than any other scene. represents the perfect melding of Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick’s sensibilities-as Kubrick supposedly worked on the story with Spielberg, and Spielberg felt obliged to finish after Kubrick’s death-which allows the film to keep each of their worst instincts in check. may be Spielberg’s misunderstood masterpiece, evidenced by the many critics who’ve pointed out its supposed flaws only to come around to a new understanding of its greatness-chief among them Roger Ebert, who eventually included it as one of his Great Movies ten years after giving it a lukewarm first review.

Here are the 30 best movies available to stream on Epix right now: We’ve curated a list of the best of the best, updated for December 2021.
