100 Corona Film! Need a coronavirus escape? Here are 100 films to look for each true to life longing PART 3
When you need a good scare
41. “Evil Dead II” (1987): The splatter-fest teaches you the essential lesson that if your hand gets hacked off, attach a chainsaw.
42. “The Exorcist” (1973): The dreadful thought of the devil possessing a young girl is even more unnerving seeing it unfold in front of you.
43. “Get Out” (2017): Good luck ever forgetting the image of Daniel Kaluuya’s teary horror upon realizing he’s in the Sunken Place.
44. "It" (2017): A coming-of-age story first, a clown-laden fright fest second.
45. “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984): Slasher villain math: Freddy Krueger > Michael Myers > Jason Voorhees.
46. “Psycho” (1960): Still an effective deterrent to showering, six decades later.
47. “Se7en” (1995): A splendid smashup of genres (detective, noir, horror) and an eerie exploration of the seven deadly sins, but don’t look in the box, Brad Pitt!
48. “Shaun of the Dead” (2004): If you’re going to watch a freaky outbreak movie in the time of coronavirus, at least make it a seriously funny British joint.
49. “The Shining” (1980): OK, maaaaaaybe not the greatest film to watch in a time of self-isolation.
50. “The Witch” (2015): If a goat named Black Phillip asks you, “Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” just say no. (You might want to avoid talking goats in general.)
When you need a super-duper hero
51. “Big Trouble in Little China” (1986): Only Kurt Russell could sell being the two-fisted, macho-talking, truck-driving sidekick in his own movie.
52. “Black Panther” (2018): Wakanda – and Chadwick Boseman’s phenomenal royal warrior – forever!
53. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014): A well-crafted, outstanding political thriller in which Chris Evans just happens to be wearing star-spangled tights.
54. “The Dark Knight” (2008): Heath Ledger’s Joker for the absolute win. (Christian Bale’s Batman is all right, too.)
55. “Flash Gordon” (1980): He’ll save every one of us. It’s right there in the song.
56. “The Goonies” (1985): Let’s see Batman or Captain America try to do the Truffle Shuffle.
57. “Kill Bill: Volume 1” (2003): Clad in a Bruce Lee jumpsuit, Uma Thurman’s The Bride marries the look of a fashion icon with supreme sword-swinging vengeance taking out umpteen goons.
58. “Rocky IV” (1985): Sure, Sylvester Stallone’s first “Rocky” was “the good one.” He pretty much has to take on the whole Soviet Union in this one, though!
59. “Superman” (1978): Nobody has ever worn superhero threads – especially those of the iconic big blue boy scout – the same way as Christopher Reeve.
60. "Wonder Woman" (2017): Gal Gadot's ridiculously powerful Amazon princess learns that humanity is a bunch of warring jerks and helps out anyway.
