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.

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.

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.
