100 Corona Film! Need a coronavirus escape? Here are 100 films to look for each true to life longing PART 5




When you need a not-so-great movie

81. “Armageddon” (1998): Let the record state that Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck were Space Force before it was cool.
82. “Cobra” (1986): Crime is a disease, Stallone is the cure and this violent extravaganza is a transfusion of guilty pleasure.
83. “Con Air” (1997): Much of Nicolas Cage’s whole career could fill this space, however, only one flick has characters named Diamond Dog, Swamp Thing and Cyrus the Virus.
84. “Highlander” (1986): Ridiculous cheeseball plot, immortal warriors and killer Queen songs strangely go together.
85. “The Last Dragon” (1985): We dare you not be earwormed by DeBarge’s “Rhythm of the Night,” the infectious tune that reflects the overall cult-movie mix of kung fu, romance and ‘80s style.
86. “Mommie Dearest” (1981): Yes, it’s the one with “No more wire hangers!” But there’s much more melodrama throughout the bonkers Joan Crawford biopic as Faye Dunaway gives a masterclass in overacting.
87. “Over the Top” (1987): The underdog plot centered on arm wrestling is nonsensical and yet completely rousing. It’s also proof positive that turning your trucker hat around always means business.
88. “Road House” (1989): The one where Patrick Swayze rips a dude’s throat out.
89. “So I Married an Axe Murderer” (1993): Forget "Wayne's World" and "Austin Powers." This is Mike Myers' greatest hit, as a beat poet afraid of commitment and even more fearful of his maybe-a-killer new love.
90. “Xanadu” (1980): The splashy, post-disco pop musical was made to be played on repeat constantly at roller rinks.

Domhnall Gleeson is a time-traveling Brit and Rachel McAdams is his American love in "About Time."

When you need your heart warmed

91. “About Time” (2013): Domhnall Gleeson is a time-traveling dude, Rachel McAdams is his soulmate, and all the feels will be had.
92. “Field of Dreams” (1989): The magnificent baseball film embraces the power of faith, belief and having one last catch with your dad.
93. “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946): Not just for Christmas anymore!
94. “Jojo Rabbit” (2019): Taika Waititi plays Hitler in a satire focusing on human love over learned hate.
95. “Notting Hill” (1999): You, too, will believe a regular schmo could date Julia Roberts.

Rudy Ruettiger (Sean Astin) gets in his final game at Notre Dame in "Rudy."

96. “Rudy” (1993): The best football movie’s most impressive trick is making you believe Sean Astin would survive two seconds on the gridiron.
97. “Silver Linings Playbook” (2012): Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence together are an A-list romantic pairing – he plays a bipolar Eagle fan, she’s an acerbic widow – as well as a sizzling dance couple.
98. “Sing Street” (2016): An Irish teen in the ‘80s forms a band to win over his crush and discovers no woman can truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins. (Sorry, Mike Tyson.)
99. “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994): A memorable jailbird bromance from the mind of Stephen King.
100. “You’ve Got Mail” (1998): The swoon-worthy Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan jam that feels ancient with the AOL email chime yet is oh-so-timeless.
