When a group of girls, all outsiders in their own way, come together to kick the ass of a teacher who has been targeting and sexually violating students, their unfair suspension solidifies a bond that has them posting up in an abandoned house, helping each other out, and just generally being goofs. There’s Maddie (Hedy Burress), the artistic one, who rollerblades through the school halls with her Polaroid camera; Rita (Jenny Lewis), the shy one who has trouble standing up for herself; Goldie (Jenny Shimizu), the tomboy with a drug problem; Violet (Sarah Rosenberg), the “easy” one; and then Legs (Angelina Jolie), the alluring stranger who ignites them all. Strengthening their connection through car rides blasting L7 and stick-and-poke tattoos, they create their own space and rescue each other from potential self-destruction. Foxfire is a rare depiction of teen girl friendship, and Jolie as Legs is an instant icon.

Starring: Melvin Van Peebles, Simon Chuckster, Hubert Scales, John Dullaghan

Sweet Sweetback (Melvin Van Peebles) is a black orphan who, having grown up in a brothel, now works there as part of a sex show. When the police need a patsy for a murder in the black community, Sweetback’s employer gives him up to two white cops, whom Sweetback ends up killing. Suddenly the target of a massive manhunt, he decides to flee to Mexico. As he makes his way there, he is captured by, and escapes from, both the cops and a chapter of the Hell’s Angels.

Starring: Tom Berenger, Bob Hoskins, Greta Scacchi, Joanne Whalley, Corbin Bernsen, Theodore Bikel

When a horrific cliff-plummeting car accident leaves him disfigured and amnesia-struck, Dan Merrick (Tom Berenger) relies on his wife Judith (Greta Scacchi) to fill in the gaps of his life. With devotion she shows him all, including how to make love, and by all appearances they’ve reinvigorated a strong, if slightly stale, marriage. But when flashes of memory including gunfire and a whole lotta crashing waves begin to seep in, and evidence of infidelity is undeniable, Dan has to question what was really going on before his memory slipped.

Saying too much about Shattered would spoil the fun of the surprises in store for you, so we’ll just mention that Bob Hoskins shows up as a pet store owner/private investigator in a cozy sweater cuddling a diapered pup, and it just keeps getting more unhinged from there.

Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.

Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever. In this breakneck thriller from director-producer Michael Bay, decorated veteran Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t–his adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal). A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million. With his wife’s survival on the line, Will can’t say no. But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González) onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L.A. has ever seen.
