Men in Black
Type: Science-Fiction, Comedy
Release Date: 1997
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith
Rating: 7.3/10 IMDb

This sci-fi flick that paired the unlikely duo of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith was pretty much a runaway hit with audiences.

Groundhog Day

Release Date: 1993
Director: Harold Ramis
Starring: Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott
Rating: 8/10 IMDb

Undoubtedly one of the best Bill Murray comedies to date, Groundhog Day is the story of a cranky weatherman who finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. While Groundhog Day itself was a month ago, it’s never the wrong time to re-watch this silly and ultimately sweet film.

Director: Mel Brooks
