100 Corona Film! Need a coronavirus escape? Here are 100 films to look for each true to life longing PART 4






When you need a history lesson

61. “All the President’s Men” (1976): Whether you see shades of the past now or not, crusading journalists taking on a corrupt administration is simply riveting.
62. “Amadeus” (1984): Mozart could write a mean classical tune, and his rivalry with Salieri here is a symphony of hedonism and drama.
63. “Ed Wood” (1994): Tim Burton turns in a fascinating retro ode to the B-movie filmmaker and angora sweater aficionado.
64. “Hidden Figures” (2016): One way to honor NASA pioneer Katherine Johnson, who died death last month at 101, is to watch Taraji P. Henson in this rousing civil-rights tale.
65. “Lincoln” (2012): Man of many hats Daniel Day Lewis rocks the stovepipe headwear of the 16th president especially well.

Math genius Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) is key to America staying competitive in the Space Race in "Hidden Figures."

66. “RBG” (2018): Worried about the health of 87-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg? This documentary shows the notorious Supreme Court justice is made of the sternest stuff.
67. “The Right Stuff” (1983): More than three wondrous hours detailing the backstory – in epic Hollywood fashion – of our first trip to space.
68. “1776” (1972): Just think of it as the prequel to “Hamilton.”
69. “Spartacus” (1960): Fun fact: Kirk Douglas was leading slave revolts when “Gladiator” Russell Crowe was a preschooler.
70. “Straight Outta Compton” (2015): O’Shea Jackson Jr. plays dad Ice Cube in the N.W.A. biopic that’s a delight even if you aren’t into hip-hop.

When you need a great movie

71. “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969): Find yourself a ride-or-die BFF like Paul Newman and Robert Redford as infamous Old West outlaws. (But don’t do all the robbing.)
72. “Casablanca” (1942): Hey, kids! If you ever wondered why Humphrey Bogart was a thing, watch this.
73. “Chinatown” (1974): Jack Nicholson’s busted face is a signature look for a sublime L.A. film noir.
74. “Citizen Kane” (1941): The greatest film ever made is actually pretty good. The hype is real!
75. “The Departed” (2006): Leo, Jack and Damon in a Boston-set Scorsese mob movie? That’s wicked smaht casting.
76. “Die Hard” (1988): It should be everyone’s goal to have the self-confidence to trudge across broken glass, take on a snarling Eurotrash supervillain and save the day, all on Christmas Eve.

Richard Dreyfuss tries to do something about the pursuing man-eating shark in "Jaws."

77. “Jaws” (1975): The first summer blockbuster is the mack daddy of man-eating shark flicks.
78. “North by Northwest” (1959): Getting embroiled in a case of mistaken identity and getting chased by a crop-dusting plane equals a very bad, no-good day for Cary Grant.
79. "Parasite” (2019): The South Korean movie just won best picture so maybe getting stuck at home is the best time to catch up? (Warning: It might cause paranoia about your basement.)
80. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981): The perfect action film with an imperfectly flawed, square-jawed protagonist.
