Interstellar (2014): Christopher Nolan's Transdimensional Space Saga

Along with McConaughey, Hathaway, and Chastain, the all-star cast includes Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Timothée Chalamet, and Matt Damon.

The Mummy (1999): A Throwback Pulp Adventure

This fun, desert adventure captured the hearts of an entire generation of moviegoers. Academy Award winner Rick O'Connell (Fraser) and Evelyn Carnahan (Weisz) play adventurers in search of an ancient city that happens to contain the remains of a vengeful Egyptian who, as it turns out, comes to life with plans to use his spectacular mummy powers to cause havok.

The Mummy spawned several sequels and a spin-off, The Scorpion King, which launched the film career of Dwayne Johnson.

Labyrinth (1986): David Bowie and Jim Henson Bring the (Dance) Magic

Labyrinth tells a simple story: Sarah (Connelly) makes a careless wish that her baby brother would go away, and Jareth the Goblin King (Bowie) is happy to grant it.

What follows is one of Muppets creator Jim Henson's most ambitious and creative films as Sarah travels through the eponymous maze to get her brother back. Bowie performs several songs, and the creature design is top-notch.

Children of the Corn (1984): Corniest Stephen King Triller

On their way to the big city, Vicky (Linda Hamilton) and Burt (Peter Horton) pass through a rural town with no adults. When they make the mistake of trying to help one of the orphaned children, the couple is captured by a cult of killer kids.

By modern standards, Children of the Corn is funnier than it is scary, but it's still worth watching for the timeless performance by John Franklin as leader of the corn cult.
