Jim Carrey stars as a man whose entire life is a constructed lie wherein he’s the unwitting star of a popular TV program. Peter Weir’s film does an admirable job of exploring the fabricated existence of all modern life and foreshadows the effect that reality TV would have on pop culture. Truman Burbank slowly begins to question his reality, peeling back the strangeness of his world as it’s dictated by the egotistical director Christof (Ed Harris), who gets a little too happy playing God. Sweet and humane, this flick asks an uncomfortable number of questions about what constitutes real life, what separates us from our performances of ourselves, and what kind of risk someone needs to take to lead an authentic life.

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

This neon-soaked horror film turns outcast status into the ultimate fear. In it, a group of friends played by Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha’la Herrold, Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott, and Pete Davidson gather at a big house in the middle of a hurricane to get blitzed and play a party game. In it, a secret murderer goes around “killing” other players while trying not to get caught. Unfortunately, someone starts killing people for real, and everyone makes the logical decision to freak out and distrust everyone else. It’s wry and funny, just like a horror film stacked with comedic actors should be, and the malaise of youth shines blindingly through.

Dune (2021)

There are few things people born during the George W. Bush presidency like better than a sci-fi story from 1965 starring a former Disney pipeline star and the guy who would go on to play Bob Dylan. Of course, Denis Villeneuve’s sandy epic was beloved by all ages because of its towering artistic vision that made style and substance equal partners in letting the spice flow.

However, Gen Z has a particularly strong attachment to the movie and its sequel, which would be considered their generation’s Lord of the Rings if so many of them didn’t obsess over Lord of the Rings, too. In the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel, Timothée Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, the youngest member of a royal-ish family taking charge of a desert planet. But when his family is betrayed, he links up with Chani (Zendaya) and a host of other rebels to seek solace, revenge, and lessons on riding sandworms.
