Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America Paramount

Crawl—This wasn't screened for critics, but it is a movie about killer alligators eating people in a flooded Florida town, and therefore has the Mercury's highest endorsement.

Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché—Suzette wasn't too keen on this documentary about the first woman filmmaker: "I doubt that anyone who isn't a film nerd will enjoy Be Natural, but when it comes to Guy-Blanché herself? She seems like a total baller."

Mondo Trasho: Beavis and Butt-head Do America—"Until the end of time," writes Bobby Roberts, "this motion picture shall be heralded as an undisputed classic."

North by Northwest—One of Hitchcock's best, and the Academy's got it on 35mm.

Phantom of the Paradise—Brian DePalma's 1974 film is "a freaky, funky, ridiculicious hank of inch-thick camp cooked over the unique heat only '70s-era Paul Williams could provide," says Bobby Roberts.


Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan—The third-best Star Trek movie, after Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek Beyond. I've... thought a lot about this. Screening outdoors at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park!

The Terminator—There was a time—a distant time, in a long-forgotten past—when there were just one or two Terminator movies, and they were good, and no one had ever heard anyone say the words "Genisys," "McG," or "I know! For Rise of the Machines, let's make us a sexy terminator!"

Stuber—Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista's buddy comedy "scrunches as many odd-couple jokes as it can into the slender premise of mismatched fellows going on a crime-y wild goose chase," says Ned Lannamann.
