9. Guava Island
Credit: Amazon StudiosRihanna and Donald Glover lead in this darkly joyous musical movie journey. A vibrant blend of contemporary tracks and timeless storytelling (with just a sprinkling of FX's Atlanta-esque style), Hiro Murai's Guava Islandtells a tale of oppression and resistance always worth revisiting.

8. The Report
With so many phenomenal Adam Driver movies out in recent years (House of Gucci,Marriage Story, The Rise of Skywalker) you may have missed The Report. Directed by Scott Z. Burns, this drama takes a chilling look at the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation of the CIA's use of torture following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Supporting performances by Annette Bening, Jon Hamm, Michael C. Hall, Ted Levine, and more make this an ensemble effort worthy of your time. — A.F.

7. Honey Boy
Credit: Amazon StudiosWritten by Shia LaBeouf and based on his own experiences growing up, Honey Boy is a surprisingly heartfelt and impactful watch.

Alma Har'el directs. — A.F.

6. Napoleon Dynamite
It's awkward, it's off-beat, it's endearing... it's Napoleon Dynamite! The cult classic behind "Vote for Pedro" and the absolute strangest way to store tater tots still holds up. Follow Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) as he navigates a high school presidential election, relationships, and the arrival of his intense Uncle Rico (Jon Gries). Every interaction is loaded with meteoric amounts of quirk sure to get you laughing. Heder's performance is deadpan in all the right ways, and the big dance scene where he cuts loose to Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" is a phenomenal climax to this oddball flick. * — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

1. Fargo
Credit: Gramercy PicturesIn this reporter's personal favorite Joel and Ethan Coen joint ever (my sincere apologies to Mr. Lebowski), William H. Macy stars as Jerry Lundegaard, a Minneapolis car salesman who finds himself at the center of a kidnapping scheme gone wrong. Frances McDormand plays Marge Gunderson, the police officer tasked with solving Fargo's central crime; Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare dazzle as Jerry's accomplices. The best black comedy on Prime by a snowy mile (you'll get that when ya watch the movie), Fargois a top-shelf title. * — A.F.
