The Ladykillers is anything but conventional, and its all-star studded cast (which includes Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, & Herbert Lom) cons us wickedly. Guinness plays a bank robber who takes up residence in the home of an old busybody to easily access the neighboring, underground vault of a bank. He and his band of misfits pose as musicians, but when their landlord catches on, they plot to kill her. Of course, in true dark comedy fashion, everything goes awry. This version was so intriguing, The Coen Brothers decided to remake it in 2004! I highly recommend both versions.

Furious 7 begins with the newly pardoned Fast & Furious crew returning to the United States. Adrenaline-loving Brian tries to adjust to fatherhood in the suburbs with Mia and their son.

Of course, the past can’t allow them to peacefully settle into their American lives.
