![]() ![]() Nearly a decade later, The Conjuring might still be Wan’s best – and definitely his scariest – film. Introducing Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson’s Lorraine and Ed Warren, The Conjuring gives audiences a demon-hunting duo you can’t help but fall in love with, and matches them in the wonderfully-drawn Perron family, who suffer a demonic infestation in their home that leads to one of the most horrifying cases in the Warrens’ long history. But killer dolls, demonic nuns, spinoffs, and sequels aside, The Conjuring holds up as a hell of a horror movie that’s gripping, grounded, and features some of the scariest set-pieces in Wan’s career. After kicking off hit horror franchises Saw and Insidious, James Wan launched the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time with The Conjuring. RELATED: Why 'Inception' Is Christopher Nolan's MasterpieceĬast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor, Joey King, Mackenzie Foyįebruary might not usually be a month associated with spooky cinema, but you really can’t go wrong with one of the best horror movies of the 21st Century. Nolan delivers one pulse-pounding, world-bending set-piece after the next ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt's rotating hallway fight scene is still *chef's kiss*), and the ensemble cast is clearly having a ball - none moreso than Tom "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling" Hardy, and no matter how you interpret the film's much-discussed final frames, Inception holds up as one of Nolan's most impressive reinventions of familiar genres. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Dom Cobb, the haunted leader of a group of dream-infiltrating mercenaries, who set out to retrieve the keys to a corporate empire from the dying mind of its founder. ![]() Oh sure, we all love the memes, but when's the last time you actually sat down and revisited Inception? Because folks, Christopher Nolan's 2010 sci-fi thriller is still a ripping romp through the subconscious built on the tried-and-true foundations of a great heist movie. The sibling squabbling wears a bit thin at times, but when Zathura switches into action-mode, it's a heck of an entertaining ride for the whole family.Ĭast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine ![]() The story follows two brothers played by Josh Hutcherson and Jonah Bobo, who generally can't stand each other and have to find a way to get past their differences and win the game together. Directed by Jon Favreau just before he helped launch the MCU with Iron Man, Zathura has plenty of the filmmaker's crowd-pleasing charms and high-energy set-pieces, boosted by a clever script that makes the most of the concept with man-eating lizard aliens, spontaneous cryo-chambers, and a mystery astronaut who needs saving. Inspired by a book from the author of Jumanji, the 2005 sci-fi family comedy Zathura: A Space Adventure sets up a similar situation - a magical game transports its players into a life-or-death stakes adventure - but this time, the kids aren't headed to the jungle, they're launched straight into outer space. Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Jonah Bobo, Dax Shepard, Kristen Stewart, Tim Robins
