“It Takes Two” (1995)
The ’90s were filled with fun-loving family comedies, and the Olsen sisters were often at the center of them. “It Takes Two” follows the story of a sad, wealthy girl named Alyssa (Ashley Olsen) and an orphaned tomboy named Amanda (Mary-Kate Olsen), who meet at summer camp. The two look identical, and both are trying to navigate issues with their guardians: Alyssa’s father, Roger (Steve Guttenberg), is about to marry a gold digger, while Amanda’s social worker, Diane (Kirstie Alley), is being blocked by an odd family that wants to adopt her. In a mission to bring Roger and Diane together, the girls switch places.
“Shutter Island” (2010)
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the psychological thriller “Shutter Island” as Marshal Teddy Daniels who is investigating a patient’s disappearance at a far off psych ward for the criminally insane. During his investigation, Teddy learns the hospital isn’t what it seems, and he’ll have to face his own dark fears and secrets to find his way out of it.
“The Wood” (1999)
“The Wood” centers on three old friends Mike (Omar Epps), Roland (Taye Diggs) and Slim (Richard T. Jones) who share memories about their childhood as they get ready for Roland’s wedding.

“True Grit” (2010)
It’s the 16th anniversary of the Coen Brothers’ Josh Brolin-led Western. The film is about a 14-year-old farm girl who enlists a trigger-happy, lush of a lawman (Jeff Bridges) to help her avenge the death of her father by taking out his murderer, an outlaw named Tom Chaney (Brolin)
“I Love You, Man” (2009)
There’s not much else Peter Klaven needs. He’s got a successful career in real estate and a beautiful home with his fiancé. However, with all his hard work, he never made time to build actual friendships. And now that his wedding is almost here, he’ll have to move fast to find a best man.
“Catch Me If You Can”
“Catch Me If You Can” brings together comedy and true crime with the help of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. The film follows a cat and mouse chase between Frank Abagnale, Jr. — a master of deception — and FBI agent Carl Hanratty, who’s made it his mission to track down the multi-skilled con artist after he pulls a big bank heist.
