Gotham’s underworld is in chaos as the masked vigilante Batman (Christian Bale) pushes criminals to the brink – until a twisted genius emerges from the shadows. Enter The Joker (Heath Ledger), a sadistic anarchist with a love for carnage and a terrifying ability to manipulate. With his maniacal laugh and unpredictable schemes, he turns Gotham into his playground, robbing banks for sport and making the mob cower before him. Meanwhile, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) rises as the city’s white knight, but his fate hangs by a thread as he’s drawn into the Joker’s deranged game. The psychological warfare escalates in jaw-dropping moments – a pencil trick that ends gruesomely, a hospital explosion orchestrated with unsettling glee, and the iconic dilemma of two rigged ferries. Batman, haunted by his own moral struggle, faces his greatest challenge yet: stopping a villain who doesn’t want power, money, or revenge – just destruction for its own sake.

When the three reluctantly team up, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a simple gangland killing. With shadowy figures pulling the strings, a high-class call-girl ring doubling for Hollywood starlets, and corrupt police feeding into the chaos, Exley, White, and Vincennes must fight their own instincts as they inch closer to the truth – one that no one in power wants exposed.

As the first female anchor in a male-dominated newsroom, Veronica quickly proves she’s more than just a pretty face, much to Ron’s increasingly fragile ego. Meanwhile, his news team—Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner), and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell)—struggle to process basic human interactions, let alone workplace equality. The rivalry escalates into hilariously ridiculous battles, including a street fight between rival news teams, a flute solo that defies logic, and Ron’s unfortunate encounter with a bear. Packed with quotable one-liners, Anchorman is a chaotic, endlessly rewatchable satire of 1970s broadcast journalism.

When a family emergency forces Bob and Cindy Russell to leave town, their only option for a babysitter is Buck Russell (John Candy)—a loud, unfiltered, and completely unqualified bachelor. Tasked with looking after rebellious teenager Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly) and her younger siblings Miles (Macaulay Culkin) and Maizy (Gaby Hoffmann), Buck’s unconventional parenting methods include threatening Tia’s sleazy boyfriend with a hatchet, making pancakes the size of tables, and terrorizing a clown who shows up drunk to a birthday party. As Buck clashes with Tia, he slowly proves that beneath his rough exterior, he’s exactly the guardian they need. With Candy’s comedic brilliance, Uncle Buck is a hilarious, heartfelt classic about family, responsibility, and the power of an oversized breakfast.
