– Adam ChitwoodĬast: Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Tom Pelphrey, Tuppence Middleton, Charles Dance, and Tom BurkeĪcclaimed filmmaker David Fincher’s first Netflix movie is catnip for cinephiles, as it charts the true-history behind the inspiration and writing of the screenplay for Citizen Kane. This is a road movie to be sure, but it’s anchored by a complicated story tackling complicated emotions. Cruise’s character breaks Hoffman out of a health facility and sets about using him to gain the money, but throughout their eventful road trip he comes to love and care for his brother. The film tackles 80s yuppie selfishness in a unique way, as Cruise plays an entitled and abusive younger brother who discovers that his estranged father has died and left everything to his older, mentally challenged brother (Hoffman).

Rain Man was the film that was supposed to finally land Tom Cruise his Oscar, but in the end he didn’t even get nominated. Adam ChitwoodĬast: Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, and Valeria Golino You get out of The Master what you put into it, so go in with an open mind, and be prepared to ponder the ending of this one for quite some time.

The film largely revolves around the push and pull between these two men as PTA conjures a fascinating chronicle of human behavior and relationships. Loosely inspired by the story of Scientology founder L.
His 2012 film The Master may be the most obtuse of the bunch, but over its nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime the film is constantly engrossing and downright vexing. Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Laura Dern, and Rami Malekįilmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson is a bit of a master when it comes to crafting dramas, but his films are oftentimes more challenging than your average Oscar bait.
