5. Berlin Syndrome (2017)
So rich we might as well make them their own genre, movies about a kidnapped woman usually go one of two ways: either the suspense, figuring out how and if she will escape - or the worse route, the low road, when some movies focus on the torture and humiliation of women, turning it into a spectacle.
Although Australian director Cate Shortland adapted Melanie Josten Joosten)'s novel about a tourist imprisoned by a handsome teacher after a passionate affair is a thriller (sometimes quite heart-pounding), and much of the woman's abuse is difficult to watch, but this highly engaging psychological drama stands out because it's all about the characters and what's going on in their heads.
Teresa Palmer, best known for Hacksaw Ridge , performs as a victim whose stages of pain are not unlike those of grief. German Max Riemelt (Sense8) holds up every step of the way as her creepy, multifaceted captor, but this is Palmer's film, and it gives the dynamite actress long relegated to playing love interests in Hollywood a serious calling card.

7. Blondie (2022)
By Joyce Carroll Oz's fictional account of Marilyn Monroe's life, Andrew Dominic's much-hyped drama established Ana de Armas as one of the Hollywood canon's most important icons. The biggest headlines surrounding the release of Blondie were due to the picture's NC-17 rating; it's the most high-profile film to be released with the infamous stamp in a while.
Dominic's three-hour film is occasionally engaging, alternately bloated, self-indulgent, often unpleasant, and even cruel. De Armas' performance is truly surprising and worthy of major awards attention.
8. The Boys in the Band (2020)
Helmed by award-winning Broadway director Joe Mantello Ryan Murphy co-produced by Mart adapted from Mart Crawley Crowley)'s iconic play by including Jim Parsons (Jim Parsons, Matt Bomer and Zachary Quinto. The story took place at a gathering of gay friends in New York in 1968.

10. Call Me by Your Name (2017)
" Call Me by Your Name " won four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Timothée Chalamet 's star-making breakthrough. James Ivory's Oscar-winning screenplay makes a substantial abridgement of the final section of André Aciman's sexy and charming novel. However, these cuts fit the screen. Ivory delivers a wistful, moving monologue toward the end, and the film's final moments and final shot are already iconic.
