9. Everywhere Everything All At Once
In the crazy action-comedy from 2022, the main character Michelle Yeoh meets different versions of herself in parallel universes. The fate of the entire multiverse lies in her hands.
The film delivers a colorful comedy with a twisted story and absurdly funny moments. One of Michelle’s parallel selves takes down her enemies Kung-Fu style using her hyper-strong little finger, or the audience witnesses a conversation between two rocks.
But the film doesn’t just impress with humor. The story revolves around a sympathetic family, with each character having their own quirks and problems, as everyone can relate to. Evelyn struggles with her tax return due the same day while her father thinks he knows better.
At the 2023 Academy Awards, Everywhere Everything All At Once even won an Oscar for Best Picture. You can find more on the Oscar ceremony this year here with the colleagues from Moviepilot.
This is what IMDb ratings say: On IMDb, the film receives a user rating of 7.8 stars based on 457,790 votes.
Fun Fact: To keep the plot secret before the trailer’s release, the IMDb summary only stated: “It’s about a 55-year-old Chinese woman trying to do her taxes” (via web.archive.org).
10. Alien – The Uncanny Being from Another World
Alien is a sci-fi thriller from 1979 in which a bloodthirsty monster causes chaos on the space freighter Nostromo.
If you enjoy dark horror and sci-fi films, you can’t overlook the Alien series, which continues to scare audiences to this day. The intense and dark atmosphere is created by the claustrophobic tightness on the ship and the sparse lighting where the alien wreaks havoc.
One of the most well-known and shocking moments is when a monster gruesomely bursts from the chest of a crew member while they writhe in pain on the table.
The film also delivers one of the coolest and strongest protagonists in film history. As tough heroine Ellen Ripley, Sigourney Weaver challenges the aliens and thus became a strong role model for women in action films.
This is what IMDb ratings say: From 10 stars, Alien – The Uncanny Being from Another World receives an average of 8.5 from IMDb users based on 906,786 ratings.
Fun Fact: The blue lasers seen in the ship’s egg chamber were borrowed from the band “The Who,” who were rehearsing their stage show next door.
