It’s just that, with the exception of the occasional highbrow art film (Kagemusha is available on Netflix, believe it or not), they seem to represent the 1. The sorts of films that seemed to define the most popular of popular culture are reasonably well represented.

What is everyone on your social media feed up in arms about today? Right now, it's this. Told by the activists and leaders who live and breathe this movement for justice, Whose Streets? When unarmed. See how well critics are rating the Best Movies for 2017.

The screenplay for Adventures in Babysitting had been kicking around Hollywood for decades, but by the time Chris Columbus directed it, it felt almost quintessentially 1. Elizabeth Shue stars as a teenaged babysitter who has to pack up the kids and rescue her runaway best friend, but a series of bizarre coincidences strand them all in the big city, where they’re chased by murderous gangsters, forced to sing spontaneous blues songs in front of tough audiences, and even meet — kinda, sorta — the mighty Thor.

Directed by Sabaah Folayan, Damon Davis. With Brittany Ferrell, Tef Poe, Kayla Reed, Tory Russell. Whose Streets?

The cast is great and Columbus brings an infectious, family- friendly energy that would eventually serve him well in the blockbusters Home Alone and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Heathers. If you flipped a coin with Adventures of Babysitting on one side, Heathers would be on the other. Michael Lehmann’s biting satire of teen power dynamics and coddled suburban affluence stars Winona Ryder and Christian Slater as outsiders who start murdering the most popular kids in school. Heathers came from a different time, when teen murder could be the stuff of escapist and cynical comedy, but even in 1.

It’s as sharp as teen comedies get and it still cuts deep. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Joe Johnston’s inventive sci- fi family adventure stars Ric Moranis as a hapless inventor whose latest creation accidentally shrinks his children — and the neighbor kids — until they are smaller than ants. That would be bad enough, but then they’re taken out with the trash and have to make an epic journey through a back yard filled with bees, scorpions, and all manner of other terrifying obstacles which, in any other context, would be totally humdrum. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a smart, funny film with groundbreaking visual effects that turned the average suburban household into a place of incredible wonders. Pee- wee’s Big Adventure.

After the acclaimed stage show, but before the popular TV series, Pee- wee Herman starred in a hit comedy that made him a household name, and put fledgling director Tim Burton on the map. It’s a kooky cross- country road trip starring Paul Reubens as Pee- wee, an eccentric whose bicycle is stolen, and who will stop at nothing to get it back.

He tangles with ghosts, biker gangs and rodeo bulls, charming everyone in America — in real life and the film — along the way. There’s an innocent attitude to Pee- wee’s Big Adventure that still gels perfectly with the its manic, childlike energy. E. T. The Extra- Terrestrial. It may be easy to take E. T. The Extra- Terrestrial for granted. It’s one of the most popular motion pictures ever made, a blockbuster of the highest order that spawned parodies, satires, and a sprawling subgenre of children on secret fantastical missions. Steven Spielberg tells the story of a child befriending a lost alien from the perspective of a child, looking up at the world in equal parts fear and wonder.

And yet E. T. It’s as effective and dynamic as ever, and still one of the most incredible sci- fi/fantasy films ever produced. Gremlins. And then there’s Gremlins, a film about breaking things.

Joe Dante’s ghoulish little comedy introduces audiences to a Capra- esque community, tied together by wholesome values and community pride. Then he introduces a species of impish little monsters that wreck, maim, and kill anything they can get their claws on. Gremlins is a funny, scary, impressively original tale about the fragility of suburbia. All it takes are a few little monsters and some power tools to bring it all crashing down.

The Last Unicorn. For the most part, Disney wasn’t producing their finest work in the 1. Two of those filmmakers were Arthur Rankin Jr. Beagle’s fantasy novel. Mia Farrow plays a unicorn who ventures out of the safe confines of her forest when she learns that she may be the very last of her kind. Along the way she encounters wizards, witches, corrupt kings, and nightmare monsters in a surreal and memorable animated classic, which also features the voice talents of Jeff Bridges, Alan Arkin, Angela Lansbury, and Christopher Lee.

The Shining. Stephen King may not care for Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of his best- selling novel, but he’s actually in the minority. The Shining is one of the most frightening motion pictures ever produced, a harrowing and ethereal tale of a small family, isolated from the world in the dead of winter, with an enormous hotel all to themselves. Jack Nicholson plays the patriarch who devolves into abusive behavior, Shelley Duvall plays the meek matriarch who must overcome her fears to protect her child, and all the while the hotel itself seems to be watching them, manipulating their already precarious relationships until murder seems nearly inevitable. The Shining takes a few liberties with the novel, but all of the terror made it on screen.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Robert Zemeckis’s film takes place in a sprawling alternate history, in which beloved cartoon characters have their own community when they’re not working in Hollywood. It could have been cutesy, but Who Framed Roger Rabbit? It’s not just a technical marvel, it’s a great story featuring wonderful characters.

That’s why we still love it so. A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The 1. 98. 0s was a rich and fertile time for horror movies, from slasher movies to high- concepts, suburban anxieties to hallucinatory nightmares. Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Streets seems to operate on every possible level. It’s a story about a boogeyman who kills innocent kids, but it’s also an intelligent and disturbing trip into the human subconscious, where guilt and fear and subconscious awareness of dark family secrets bubble and froth into terrifying imagery and, ultimately, horrible tragedies. Robert Englund plays Freddy Krueger with a cruelty that flies in the face of his later, jokier performances.

His performance goes a long way towards making A Nightmare on Elm Street one of the scariest movies ever made. Escape from New York.

John Carpenter envisioned a world in which crime was so rampant that the government decided to just wall off the island of Manhattan, drop criminals inside, and let them do whatever they want to each other. But when Air Force One crash lands and the President gets kidnapped by violent criminals, the guards send another violent criminal in to rescue him: Snake Plissken, played by Kurt Russell, in a role that would redefine his career. The actor best known for Disney comedies was suddenly a credible badass hero, in a sci- fi western full of colorful characters, deadly action set pieces, and cynical attitudes about society as a whole. Escape from New York is a bitter movie with a low opinion of the human race in general, which makes every shred of decency we can wring from its grimy storyline all the more powerful. This Is Spinal Tap. The heavy metal generation got a good, hard goosing by Rob Reiner in This Is Spinal Tap, a hilarious mockumentary about a rock band whose hardcore stage persona contrasts sharply with their affable, dorky idiocy.
