All the ‘Alien’ Movies, Ranked
“In space, no one can hear you scream.” What was true in 1979 remains true in 2024 as the latest entry in the Alien franchise, Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, terrifies both old and new generations. With a franchise as iconic and oft-revisited as Alien, there’s little need for introduction. The scene is set. The stakes […]

As the U.S. presidential election gets into full swing, THR’s chief film critic ranks 20 indelible films — from thrillers to biopics to satires to issue-driven dramas — that grapple, either explicitly or implicitly, with themes of power, governance, civic engagement and what it means to be American.

‘House of the Dragon’: Every Episode (So Far), Ranked
Eighteen episodes and two seasons into its run, House of the Dragon is already almost over. Sure, it will take years and years for the series to reach the end of its planned four-season arc, but the halfway point is the right point to take a beat and take stock of all that’s come before. […]

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Has 116 F-Bombs: Here Are Movies With Even More
When Deadpool & Wolverine lands on Disney+, it will almost certainly set a record for the most f-bombs for a movie on the family-friendly streaming service (definitely blowing past That Darn Cat and Cheaper by the Dozen). Reportedly, Deadpool & Wolverine has 118 uses of the f-word during its two-hour and seven-minute runtime (with a […]

Ryan Reynolds’ Best Movies, Ranked
Ryan Reynolds has remained one of Hollywood’s most popular actors for nearly 20 years. He’s developed a likable public persona, become a master marketer and entrepreneur, made close friends with the kind of Hollywood talent many people would sell a necessary organ for — and he’s married to Blake Lively. Yet, that popularity often comes […]

All the X-Men Franchise Movies, Ranked
For 20 years, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films and associated spinoffs built up a world that could stand separately from the MCU and DCEU. While the results were not always what audiences, filmmakers or even the actors desired, there was a certain underdog quality to the X-franchise. Just when it seemed like Wolverine had popped […]

The Greatest Disaster Movies of All Time
Disaster is approaching, and we’re all on the edge of our seats to see what happens next. We’re excited, afraid and not devoid of a little morbid curiosity. But this is the movies, of course, where such feelings are validated with the knowledge that safety resides outside the theater doors, or outside of our living […]

Every Episode of ‘The Bear,’ Ranked
The Bear is breakneck television — often more of a thriller than a comedy, despite what certain awards shows would have you believe. The FX series from creator Christopher Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo stars Jeremy Allen White as professionally and emotionally embattled chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, a restaurant superstar trying to turn his family’s sandwich […]

The Best Movie Sequels of the Past 20 Years
Since the 1980s, sequels have become a Hollywood infrastructure — and public opinion on their pop-cultural and artistic value has shifted. No longer were sequels just quasi-remakes with few returning faces and significantly cheaper budgets, but events that studios could promote as highlights of their yearly slates. That’s not to say sequels gained favor overnight […]

The Best Slasher Movies of the Decade
Men in masks. Final girls. A steadily increasing body count. A memorable weapon (a knife, a chainsaw, a hook, a… salt shaker). And then, of course, there’s the blood. Lots and lots of blood. Mix them, bend them, subvert them however you wish — these are the core elements of the slasher movie, one of […]

‘The Hunger Games’ Movies Ranked From Worst to Best
A ranking of all The Hunger Games movies? We volunteer! We volunteer this tribute! With the recent news that Lionsgate is developing a new Hunger Games movie based on Suzanne Collins’ forthcoming fifth novel in the saga (titled The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping), we figured it was time to reexamine all the previous […]

‘Mad Max’ Franchise Movies, Ranked
Welcome to George Miller’s Wasteland. It’s a post-apocalyptic world not too far removed from our own. A hellscape where resources have run dry, pushing humanity to barbarism, tribalism and a twisted sense of justice. The scarcity of supplies has made gasoline one of Earth’s most precious resources, as the only thing left to do for […]
