Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah (1995)
RT Score: 100%
Age rating: PG
Length: 103 minutes
Director: Takao Okawara
The monster movie franchise is bigger and more popular than ever, so make sure you don’t miss Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah, which has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. In the Japanese kaiju movie, Godzilla’s heart is on the brink of a nuclear meltdown, which threatens to destroy Earth. At the same time, they must try to eliminate a horde of mutated creatures known as Destoroyah. With one of 2023’s best movies Godzilla: Minus One landing on Netflix this month, now is the perfect time to catch more ferocious action in this 1995 creature feature.
The African Queen (1951)
RT Score: 96%
Age rating: PG
Length: 105 minutes
Director: John Huston
Set in First World War East Africa, The African Queen tells the story of boozy riverboat captain Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) who eventually falls in love with British missionary Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn) after she convinces him to take a dangerous trip upriver and attack a German gunship. The African Queen is well worth watching to see Hollywood stars Bogart and Hepburn’s undeniable chemistry play out on-screen in this tale of love blossoming in the harshest surroundings.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
RT Score: 95%
Age rating: PG-13
Length: 123 minutes
Director: John Ford
In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Senator Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart), a man who has become famous for killing a notorious criminal, returns to his hometown for a funeral where he reveals who really shot outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) to a local reporter (pieced together by flashbacks). The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is one of the best westerns of Hollywood’s Golden Age and is widely considered Ford’s greatest work. Shrouded in tension, there’s a meaning behind the movie that isn’t as black and white as the movie itself. It’s well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it already.
