"Spotlight" (2015)
Netflix description: A team of reporters and editors at the Boston Globe relentlessly investigate a shocking child molestation cover-up by the Catholic Church.
Critic score: 97%
Audience score: 93%
"Spotlight" does an excellent job of making investigative journalism thrilling. Like "All the President's Men," it handles the sensitive topic as well as the real journalists who broke the story. It's made even better by its many great performances from Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, and Liev Schreiber.
"Gangs of New York" (2002)
Netflix description: Amid the Irish and Italian rivalry that dominated New York City in the mid-1800s, young Amsterdam Vallon hunts his father's hateful murderer.
Critic score: 75%
Audience score: 81%
"Gangs of New York" is a bit of a drag at times, but the dense plot is captivating thanks to the performances from Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio. Don't let Cameron Diaz's terrible acting stop you from watching this movie — it's one of Martin Scorsese's most underrated movies and well worth a rewatch if it's been a while since you saw it.
"Bring It On" (2000)
Netflix description: Pressure mounts on the captain of a decorated cheerleading squad as she attempts to lead her crew to its sixth consecutive national title.
Critic score: 63%
Audience score: 66%
"Bring It On" is fun to watch for nostalgia's sake, and it dominated early 2000s culture. It also is a rare teen movie that's completely self-aware about what it is, making it better than the norm.
