Star cast: N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan. Ajay Devgn
The Rs stand for the rise, roar, revolt—and international audiences have certainly risen and roared in response to this hit of South Indian cinema, now streaming on Netflix. An epic companion action musical that’s sort of about real-life Indian revolutionaries and their struggle with the Raj, RRR is funny, bloody, and kinetic, with a touching bromance between stars N.T. Rama Roa Jr. and Ram Charan. The VFX is outlandish but remarkably detailed and eye-popping. The film is genuinely spectacular for 187 minutes.
5. Paddington (2014)

Star cast: Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters
Paul King‘s live-action family comedy based on the beloved Michael Bond character was a massive critical and commercial success. Ben Whishaw expresses the anthropomorphic bear who migrates to London, where he is adopted by the Brown family. Co-starring Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Broadbent, and Julie Walters, Paddington spawned a sequel and was nominated for Best British Film at the BAFTAs.
6. The Pursuit of Happyness (1994)

Star cast: Will Smith, Jaden Smith
Based on Chris Gardner‘s eponymous memoir about his nearly one-year struggle with homelessness while growing his very young son, The Pursuit of Happyness could have turned out sentimental, but it’s grounded by one of Will Smith‘s best performances. Acting alongside son Jaden Smith, he’s at his most natural and appealing here, and Gabriele Mucino‘s film is a crowd-pleaser in all the right ways, earning Smith his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
