Alfred Hitchcock’s 10 Most Suspenseful Masterpieces, Ranked
Alfred Hitchcock transformed cinema with his unparalleled ability to manipulate tension, fear, and suspense, and is hailed as one of the most prolific filmmakers of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Known as the Master of Suspense, Hitchcock transcended the traditional thriller with innovative storytelling, stunning cinematography, and his signature techniques, earning him an unfailing reputation for luring audiences into a world where tension is an art form, and a familiar farce becomes a game of psychological warfare.
With a career spanning over six decades, Hitchcock produced a collection of classics, but notable titles, such as Psycho, The Birds, and Rear Window, are among the filmmaker’s most suspenseful masterpieces that make every moment of intensity feel deeply personal and unforgettable. These particular Hitchcock films, including Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train, and Vertigo, are not merely thrillers; they are carefully constructed experiences that continue to captivate audiences, drawing them into worlds where danger lurks beneath the ordinary, and evil hides around every corner.

‘Rope’ (1948)
The psychological crime thriller, Rope, was the second installment in Hitchcock’s limited-setting films and stars Farley Granger and John Dall as friends, Phillip Morgan and Brandon Shaw, who carry out a twisted intellectual exercise by murdering a former classmate before hosting a dinner party. Rope stands out for its bold, experimental approach to storytelling and its intense psychological focus, both heightened by the film’s apparent single-take style, which traps viewers in real time inside a confined apartment and creates an almost unbearable sense of immediacy.
Rather than relying on action, Hitchcock showcases one of his trademarks by building tension through dramatic irony: the audience knows the truth while the guests do not, turning ordinary conversation into something deeply disturbing. The film’s psychological depth, particularly through the intellectual arrogance of the killers and the probing presence of their former teacher, played by James Stewart, creates a slow-burning tension that escalates toward exposure and a climactic revelation.
9
‘The Birds’ (1963)
The Birds is a thrilling testament to Hitchcock’s ability to transform the familiar into relentless terror, making it one of his most suspenseful masterpieces. Tippi Hedren makes her feature film debut as Melanie Daniels, a young socialite who becomes intrigued by a lawyer, Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), after meeting at a local pet shop. When Daniels travels to Brenner’s family farm on Bodega Bay, sparks begin to fly between them, but their newfound bliss is interrupted by a series of brutal bird attacks, sending everyone in the area into a state of pure hysteria and fear.
The overall suspense in The Birds stems from its lack of answers, which removes any sense of control or logic, effectively keeping audiences on a constant edge. Like the characters, viewers are left to try to make sense of a threat that could strike at any moment, which is a defining quality in Hitchcock’s work. Instead of a traditional musical score to heighten the intensity, Hitchcock’s choice to use natural sounds and silence to build tension makes each attack feel more sudden and jarring, creating a deeply unsettling and enduring form of suspense that only he could pull off with such precision.
8
‘The 39 Steps’ (1935)
The 39 Steps is one of Hitchcock’s best espionage films that helped define the classic thriller and laid the foundation for modern spy movies. Loosely based on John Buchan‘s 1915 novel of the same name, The 39 Steps stars Robert Donat as Richard Hannay, a Canadian tourist in London who accidentally uncovers an underground ring of spies who are planning to steal vital military secrets. When Hannay is framed for murder, he must elude local authorities long enough to not only clear his name but also hopefully stop the spies’ nefarious plot before it’s too late.
The 39 Steps was one of Hitchcock’s earliest successes and is known for its “innocent man” trope, which became one of the director’s story trademarks, and was also the first film to feature Hitchcock’s infamous MacGuffin, a plot device that drives the story’s action and the character’s motivation while never being fully explained to the audience. The film established many conventions of the espionage thriller, such as wrongful accusations, cross-country chases, and mysterious organizations, that Hitchcock would go on to refine in his later films, like Saboteur and North by Northwest, which continue to shape the genre today.
7
‘Rebecca’ (1940)
Hitchcock made his American debut with his Oscar-winning romantic thriller, Rebecca, which is based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 novel of the same name. The movie stars Joan Fontaine as an unnamed woman who is swept off her feet by a wealthy widower, Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), leading to a whirlwind marriage. When the newlyweds return to de Winter’s seaside manor, the new Mrs. de Winter becomes curious about her husband’s first wife, Rebecca, who had died under mysterious circumstances. As Mrs. de Winter starts to search for answers, she starts to suspect that her husband may have been more involved in Rebecca’s demise than he initially led on.
Rebecca is a chilling Hitchcock classic that builds tension through a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, unavoidable memories, and psychological manipulation instead of over-the-top action and physical drama. The majority of the film’s intensity comes from the psychological pressure placed on Fontaine’s character, who is constantly compared to Rebecca and made to feel inadequate, especially by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, played by Agnes Moorehead. Hitchcock uses this dynamic to create a suffocating ambiance of insecurity and dread, where the protagonist begins to question her place, her marriage, and even her sanity, ultimately making Rebecca one of the director’s most suspenseful masterpieces.
6
‘Shadow of a Doubt’ (1943)
Hitchcock brings terror to the surface in small-town America with Shadow of a Doubt, and stars Joseph Cotten as a charismatic bachelor, Charles Oakley, whose niece and namesake, Charlie (Teresa Wright), begins to suspect that her beloved uncle is secretly a serial killer known as the Merry Widow Killer. The premise of an unsuspecting evil hiding in plain sight is one of the film’s greatest strengths and a signature theme in many of Hitchcock’s most suspenseful masterpieces.
The meticulous use of shadows, lighting, and recurring motifs subtly signals danger, while the slow-burning psychological game of wit and tact between Charlie and Oakley allows suspicion and fear to grow until it becomes almost unbearable. Hitchcock’s choice to cast Cotten, who was known for his heroic, good ole’ boy roles, as the murderous Oakley is another notable element that makes Shadow of a Doubt such an ingenious thriller. Cotten’s on-screen reputation throws the audience off; his contagious charm and dashing good looks effortlessly conceal his character’s true nature, emphasizing how easy it is for a killer to blend into everyday society.
5
‘Strangers on a Train’ (1951)
Strangers on a Train is an essential Hitchcock classic starring Farley Granger as a professional tennis player, Guy Haines, who meets an unusually charismatic young man, Bruno Antony (Robert Walker), while on board a train headed to his hometown. When Haines confides in Antony about his unfaithful wife and his attempt to get a divorce, Antony shares his theory of how to get away with committing the perfect murder by having two strangers kill someone for each other. While Haines brushes Antony’s idea off as nonsense, he’s unaware that Antony is a sophisticated psychopath who decides to go ahead with the plan.
The crisscross murder plot in Strangers on a Train may seem outlandish, but between Hitchcock’s groundbreaking film techniques and iconic scenes elevating the premise, it does incite an unwavering sense of tension that is impossible to deny. Even though Haines never truly agrees to the plot, Antony’s choice to carry it out inevitably binds Haines into a nightmare where guilt and innocence blur, ultimately forcing viewers to question how complicit Haines really is. Walker’s performance as the diabolical Antony is one for the ages as he effectively conveys a man whose spoiled tendencies, well-to-do social status, and unpredictability make him one of Hitchcock’s most intimidating villains of all time.

‘Vertigo’ (1958)

James Stewart stars in Vertigo as a retired San Francisco detective, John ‘Scottie’ Ferguson, who suffers from a debilitating fear of heights, is hired by a college friend to follow his wife, Madeline Elster (Kim Novak), whose recently strange behavior has caused him to become concerned about her well-being. Shortly after meeting, Ferguson and Elster become romantically involved, but when Elster takes her own life, Ferguson is overcome by guilt, spiraling into a deep depression. When he meets a woman (Novak) who has a striking resemblance to his lost love, Ferguson’s grief grows into an all-consuming obsession that eventually leads to a point of no return.
Vertigo is often considered to be Hitchcock’s magnum opus and is hands down one of his most suspenseful masterpieces that transforms a psychological obsession into an intensely immersive and unsettling experience. Hitchcock builds suspense not just from plot twists, but from Ferguson’s unraveling mind, making the audience feel his disorientation and dread as almost their own. The film is also celebrated for its groundbreaking visuals and film techniques, notably the disorienting dolly zoom and the use of color palettes, which uniquely mirror Scottie’s mental state and elevate the film’s dreamlike atmosphere.
3
‘North by Northwest’ (1959)
Hitchcock perfects his “wrong man” formula in North by Northwest while also blending relentless tension with entertainment, scale, and wit, and is regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made. Cary Grant stars as a New York advertising executive, Roger Thornhill, who is mistaken for a government agent and pursued across the country by a group of men who believe he is trying to prevent them from smuggling out microfilm that contains top-secret information. North by Northwest was a monumental success and went on to influence future action thrillers and spy flicks, such as the James Bond films, and hit TV shows, including The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Fugitive.
Hitchcock builds a level of distressing suspense in North by Northwest by constantly stripping Thornhill of having any control over the situation he’s found himself in and never allowing him to fully understand the forces pursuing him until the end. The film is packed with iconic sequences, such as the crop duster scene and the climactic chase across Mount Rushmore, which showcase Hitchcock’s genius for visual storytelling and his impeccable talent for merging spectacle with high-stakes suspense. North by Northwest captures Hitchcock at the height of his brilliance, and its sharp pacing, unforgettable performances, and imaginative visual effects undoubtedly cement it as one of the director’s finest films.
2
‘Rear Window’ (1954)
Similar to the setting of Rope, Hitchcock’s Rear Window turns a single confined setting into an intense psychological thriller driven entirely by observation, uncertainty, and anticipation. The movie centers around a photojournalist, L.B. ‘Jeff’ Jefferies (James Stewart), who starts to secretly watch his neighbors as a way to pass the time while he’s recovering from a broken leg. One night, Jefferies witnesses a heated argument between Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), and when Mrs. Thorwald is nowhere to be found the next day, Jefferies begins to suspect that her husband is behind her sudden disappearance.
The brilliance of Rear Window lies in Hitchcock’s frequent point-of-view shots and intimate close-ups, which allow the audience to not only share Jeffries’ gaze, but also his doubts: are we witnessing a crime or projecting meaning onto ordinary events? This uncertainty keeps the suspense constantly simmering, as every small detail could be either innocent or incriminating. Instead of fast-paced chases, Hitchcock relies on timing, silence, and carefully staged visual clues, such as watching Thorwald’s movements across the courtyard or waiting for a signal that confirms guilt, stretching tension to its limit.
1
‘Psycho’ (1960)
Hitchcock’s adaptation of Robert Bloch‘s 1959 novel, Psycho, is the director’s most suspenseful masterpiece that radically redefined the rules of the traditional thriller and how tension and fear could thrive through a psychological lens. Janet Leigh stars as Marion Crane, who, after stealing thousands of dollars from her employers, skips town and plans to meet up with her boyfriend to start a new life together. When Crane becomes overwhelmed by exhaustion and caught in a severe thunderstorm, she checks into the Bates Motel, where she meets the owner’s son, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), who is odd but kind, unaware that he harbors a dark and sinister secret.
Hitchcock’s unconventional storytelling and use of cinematic technique in Psycho is crucial to the film’s ominous atmosphere and suspenseful tone. For example, the now-legendary shower scene uses rapid editing, suggestive imagery, and, along with Bernard Herrmann’s piercing score, strikes an unimaginable terror in the audience without the use of explicit violence. Throughout the film, Hitchcock carefully controls what the audience sees and knows, often revealing just enough to provoke dread while withholding key information, knowing that what the audience imagines is often more horrifying than anything he could depict on the silver screen.

Prime Video’s $715M Fantasy Gamble Is Still TV’s Most Expensive Show Even After the Backlash
When dealing with arguably the most influential, recognizable, and iconic source material in modern fantasy, it makes sense that a show like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power would be one of the most expensive television projects ever put to the screen. After all, not only is J.R.R. Tolkien‘s original fantasy epic still considered the “gold standard” of fantasy literature, but Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is also counted as one of the greatest film trilogies ever made. So, it’s no wonder that Amazon hoped to capitalize on Tolkien’s material by green-lighting a prequel series on Prime Video. However, unreasonable production costs and a general lack of enthusiasm surrounding The Rings of Power have led viewers to question if the endeavor was even worth it.
‘The Rings of Power’ Has Been a Significant Investment for Amazon
It cannot be understated how much of an investment that Amazon has put into bringing The Rings of Power to the screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the rights to Tolkien’s work alone — which only include The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, as well as the appendix — cost the corporation a hefty $250 million to secure. But that initial down payment only made it possible for Prime Video to make their own Lord of the Rings content apart from the Jackson-helmed franchise owned by Warner Bros. From there, it was still a few years before Amazon cracked their take on Middle-earth, deciding to helm a prequel series set during the Second Age (for reference, Lord of the Rings is set thousands of years later during the end of the Third Age). While the Second Age is rife with high-fantasy material, Amazon had not secured the rights to Tolkien works like The Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales, meaning there would be a lot of embellishing needed to make the story work.
That alone was already a hard sell for some, but when THR later reported that an additional $465 million was shelled out to bring the first season to life, many hoped that Amazon was taking the undertaking seriously. That’s over $700 million just to get Rings of Power off the ground. Unfortunately, the results led some to wonder how exactly Prime Video was allocating those funds. While some of the visuals were spectacular (the series’ opening moments promise something epic), the show is nowhere near as visually appealing as the film trilogy — not to mention the production costs for Season 2, which required another $458 million to produce, according to financial statements obtained by the Daily Mail.
As a Lord of the Rings Fan, These Are the 10 Best ‘Rings of Power’ Episodes
“Sometimes to find the light, we must first touch the darkness.”
To say that Prime Video was gambling something fierce with this high-fantasy attempt at the next Game of Thrones would be an understatement, especially since The Rings of Power was largely dismissed by hardcore Tolkien fans and even casual viewers alike. Critics have also been split on the two-season series, though Rotten Tomatoes reports that the series is considered “fresh” — which, considering how critical many have been about the show’s overall characterization and pacing (something our Season 2 review noted), seems a bit surprising. As far as audience scores go, they’re abysmal — and that comes as no surprise when you consider how the viewership between Seasons 1 and 2 drastically decreased. In October 2024, THR reported that 50 million viewers had tuned into the sophomore season compared to the 150 million who watched the first.
‘The Lord of the Rings’ May Be Popular, but ‘The Rings of Power’ Is Struggling
It’s a shame, because Season 2 is a legitimate improvement on the first, leaning into some of the show’s stronger arcs and pulling back on others. Of course, it’s not perfect, nor is it exactly the high-quality fantasy epic that Amazon promised. Indeed, what makes The Rings of Power so notorious (aside from that hefty price tag) is that the show is a pretty vast departure from Tolkien’s original work — and especially previous on-screen adaptations of Middle-earth. Sure, it has its exciting moments and characters — namely Elendil (Lloyd Owen), Sauron (Charlie Vickers), and occasionally Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) — and certain elements are quite interesting, but are they really worth that massive price tag? While The Lord of the Rings proves to be a popular tale with audiences (as many continue to praise the original trilogy), this prequel series has largely been tossed aside.
Aside from the upfront costs, the show’s decision to deviate from the source material has no doubt alienated a portion of the audience — and if those who love Tolkien have deeply mixed feelings about it, then why would anyone else be interested? With more Lord of the Rings material underway from Warner Bros. — who are preying on audience nostalgia by revisiting stories from the original trilogy — Rings of Power doesn’t appear to stand a chance. Hopefully, the series will continue to improve with time, but even if Season 3 is an epic masterpiece we’ve all been waiting for, will streaming’s most expensive series be able to justify the funds sunk into making it?

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” stars and sisters Kim and Kyle Richards were involved in a dramatic legal dispute. Their relationship apparently hit a turning point in 2024 when reports surfaced about Kim’s unfortunate relapse after years of being open about her addiction struggles. A new report claims Kyle sued Kim in January 2025, seeking to have her evicted from the LA property where Kim was residing.
Kyle Richards Sued Her Sister Kim In 2025, Seeking To Have Her Evicted From Her Home
Kyle attempted to have her sister, Kim, evicted from her 2-bedroom Encino property, where she had been residing, according to legal documents reported by TMZ.
The “Halloween” actress said Kim had been living in the property for years; however, she asked her to leave in late 2024 following a dispute. Kyle asked for possession of the house and wanted Kim to pay $140 per day, beginning in November 2024, for each day she stayed after being asked to leave.
Kim didn’t respond to the suit, according to the legal documents, and was later required to move from the property in March 2025.
Kim Richards Reportedly Arrested In 2024 While She Was With Her Sister Kyle
Kyle’s reported attempt to have her sister removed from her LA home occurred after TMZ reported that Kim had a dramatic and saddening interaction with LA police after acting belligerently in a Hilton hotel.
Cops reportedly asked the reality star to leave the property, and when she refused, they placed her on a 5150 psychiatric hold and took her to the hospital.
Kyle and the rest of the Richards/Hilton family had cut ties with Kim following the event, hoping their strained relationship would encourage her to change.
In March 2016, Kim spoke candidly with PEOPLE about her addiction beginning after having her “first real drink” when she was 24.
Kim explained that she found herself drinking even more following her split from her second husband in 1991. “That’s when my issue started,” she said.
Kim went on to say that living her life in the public eye only exacerbated her personal struggles.
Kyle Outed Sister Kim As An ‘Alcoholic’ On Season 1 Of ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’
Kim and Kyle have repeatedly butted heads in earlier seasons of the Bravo series. Their worst argument was in the season finale of the first season of “RHOBH,” where Kyle outed Kim for being an “alcoholic.”
The sisters later regretted the moment, according to PEOPLE, and rushed to Andy Cohen to have it scrapped from the show.
“The sisters were begging Evolution and Bravo to take the scene out of the show,” Cohen said. “It didn’t happen.”
Former NBCUniversal Executive Vice President Shari Levine commented on the dramatic scene as well, adding that it’s one of the realities of shooting an unscripted show.
“The series really does capture life as it happens. And everyone has moments that they want to keep off the air. The great equalizer for all the franchises is that it’s all out there. If it’s shot, we will edit it in,” Levine said.
Kyle Regrets What Happened Between Her and Kim On The Show
While the scene has been etched into the Housewives’ history book, Kyle previously revealed she wished it had never happened.
“I would say Season 1, the limo scene,” she said on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live.” “That’s a no-brainer for me.”
That’s not all. Kyle also recalled the explosive dinner scene Kim had with former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” titan Lisa Rinna in Amsterdam.
“There’s been many since then. Like even Amsterdam, you know, running out when Rinna broke the glass and all that,” Kyle said.
Where Are Kim And Kyle Today?
Despite the drama, Kim and Kyle are back together and doing “good” as of November 2025.
Kyle opened up about where they stand today during BravoCon 2025, according to The Daily Dish, and said the former reality star has been thriving since relocating from California to Florida.
“She has the most beautiful grandchildren I’ve ever seen; they’re unbelievable, and I’m really close with them, and I love them so much,” Kyle said. “I just went to Kim’s granddaughter’s little Halloween thing at school, and it was so fun to go and see, and have that relationship with them is nice.”

Legendary screenwriter and author William Goldman once wrote, pertaining to Hollywood, “Nobody knows anything.” For as much research, analysis, and money goes into the pre-production, filming, and marketing of movies, studios ultimately have no idea what’s going to hit and what’s going to flop. Some of the greatest box office triumphs came from movies that appeared to be dead on arrival, filled with grave uncertainty and doubt within their respective studios, only to win over the public and find an audience.
In the end, moviegoing is a natural phenomenon that can’t be calculated. However, in certain cases, as with these 10 movies below, we saw these bombs from miles away. From behind-the-scenes drama to poor marketing, these films were destined to become a punchline in the trade publications.

‘Monkeybone’ (2001)
Henry Selick is one of our most imaginative animation visionaries living today. 30 years since its release, he is still rudely ignored as the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is often erroneously credited to screenwriter Tim Burton. However, if there’s one film that the Coraline director would wish that everyone would forget about, it would be his 2001 flop, Monkeybone, a confounding cinematic experience that was seemingly made for no one.
Grossing a meager $7 million on a $75 million budget, Monkeybone was Selick’s foray into new territory, as it blends live action filmmaking with his trademark stop-motion animation. Starring Brendan Fraser as a cartoonist who falls into a coma and is transported to another universe that threatens to supply the world with nightmares, the making of Monkeybone soured Selick from ever making another live-action feature, as he has since condemned the final product released to the public. The bizarre tonal register, uncanny visual aesthetic, random humor, and bonkers story were immediate turnoffs for casual audiences. The audacious animation style was a costly endeavor for 20th Century Fox, and there was simply no way of selling the film’s idea on a poster or trailer. Monkeybone, lampooned by critics, represents the harsh reality of taking a big artistic swing that whiffs.

‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ (2019)
Not only is Terminator 2: Judgment Day a perfect object, its conclusion wraps the story up from 1984’s The Terminator so tightly that a sequel was never in demand. However, Hollywood has to Hollywood, and audiences were sporadically fed sequels to James Cameron‘s classics, none of which were wholly satisfying. Still, they kept performing fairly well at the box office. By the time Terminator: Dark Fate arrived in 2019, audiences were not going to be fooled again, leading to a financial failure that may have terminated the franchise altogether.
In a cruel twist of fate, the surprisingly inventive and engaging Terminator: Dark Fate, the series’ apex since Terminator 2, was the one that failed for its studio, Paramount, with its $261 million worldwide gross falling short of its whopping $185 million budget. While not the most devastating flop, Tim Miller‘s retconning of the events following T2, botched in the uninspiring Rise of the Machines, Salvation, and Genisys, immediately lacked any audience and critical enthusiasm. Even with James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger back on board as producer and star, respectively, and Linda Hamilton reprising her role as Sarah Connor, Dark Fate was a victim of the world not wanting to be fooled for a fourth time. With the scope and budget continuously ballooning, it was clear that Terminator needed a factory reset rather than chasing after the glory of its first two entries.

‘Dolittle’ (2020)
Say what you want about modern moviegoing tendencies, but audiences aren’t dumb. Just because the world loved Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t mean they’re going to sign up for anything he stars in, especially when his Avengers: Endgame follow-up looked as silly and nonsensical as Dolittle. Released during the brief window in 2020 before things went awry amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the new adaptation of the animal whisperer, originally played by Rex Harrison and Eddie Murphy, carried a weighty price tag for something that was set up for failure.
On the surface, Dolittle‘s box office performance of $251 million worldwide gross is impressive, but when compared to its $175 million budget, these gaudy numbers were hardly worthy of celebration for Universal. Anyone who was following the news of its production, directed by Stephen Gaghan, knew that a stinker was in order, as the film underwent three weeks of reshoots by multiple directors after poor test screenings. Downey’s spontaneity and improvisation were great for Iron Man, but his freewheeling creative process led to a disastrous production. The chaos of the set is felt on the screen—a disorganized and rudderless mess of a movie. By giving a reheated performance, filled with his usual snarky quips, Downey proved he was desperate for Christopher Nolan to upend his screen persona in Oppenheimer.

‘Lightyear’ (2022)
“This is the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on,” wrote Chris Evans in a Twitter post that lives in infamy. Emblematic of the glut of IP in cinema, Pixar stooped low for a blatant cash grab in Lightyear, the inexplicable spin-off of the Toy Story franchise centered around the fake person who spawned the fake toy, Buzz Lightyear, here voiced by Evans instead of Tim Allen. The fact that Evans needed to clarify its synopsis was a telltale sign that a bomb was set for launch in 2022.
Grossing $218 million worldwide is relatively low for Pixar sequel standards, and this number is even more egregious when pitted against its whopping $200 million budget. Lightyear‘s existence is indicative of Disney’s obsession with milking their own properties without a clever angle. The film, directed by Angus MacLane, was truly something nobody asked for. Any ardent fan of the Toy Story series will tell you that interest in how the Buzz toy was created within the universe was little to none. Expanding on the Buzz lore taints the purity and charm of the series, making Lightyear woefully disjointed within this beloved franchise. Disney and Pixar are already making a killing off Toy Story sequels, which sees its fifth installment in 2026. This head-scratching spin-off was born out of sheer greed.

‘Borderlands’ (2024)
Video game movies are all the rage these days. In fact, they may have even surpassed superhero movies as the most coveted IP by studios in the wake of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Minecraft. Still, rights to a beloved game aren’t enough to trick audiences into thinking you have the next blockbuster—take, for example, Borderlands, a total wipeout at the box office in 2024 that everyone saw coming from a mile away.
There’s no way of spinning the film’s financial performance, as its $32 million gross on a $115 million budget is a flop of the highest order. Quick research into the making and release of Borderlands, starring an overqualified Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black, raised countless red flags. Development hell often indicates an impending bomb, and the writing was on the wall for Borderlands, which was announced in 2015, filmed in 2021, and underwent reshoots in 2023. Director Eli Roth, whose R-rated vision was sanded down for a PG-13 rating, was replaced by Tim Miller during reshoots. Even though two directors worked on it, Borderlands is bereft of any artistic direction. The film is a watered-down Guardians of the Galaxy wannabe with inert action and comedy. Borderlands feels trapped in 2015, with its smarmy dialogue and punk sensibilities being incredibly dated a decade later.

‘The Flash’ (2023)
By the time The Flash was released in theaters in 2023, the term “superhero fatigue” had reached the lexicon. This phenomenon was the only thing that could account for the string of underachieving comic book adaptations dating back to the year prior. In hindsight, we may have been overthinking it all, as sometimes, a movie is just an outright stinker, like Warner Bros’ failed attempt at orchestrating a colossal event for the disjointed DC saga.
Despite WB’s efforts to sell The Flash as the cinematic event of the year, its $271 million worldwide gross fell short of its hefty $200 million price tag. The last thing audiences wanted amid our collective superhero fatigue was a bloated film like The Flash, directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Ezra Miller in the titular role, which required casual viewers to be caught up with a handful of previous DC installments. The movie was radioactive from the start due to the behind-the-scenes drama involving Miller’s legal issues and personal scandals. Two particular vices of the superhero genre, third acts riddled with cheap CGI and forced character cameos, reached their nadir in The Flash, leaving theaters in pin-drop silence at the reveal of Nicolas Cage and George Clooney as an alternate Superman and Batman, respectively. This cinematic folly signaled that audiences had evolved, as forcing superhero properties without a fresh take wasn’t enough to create a blockbuster anymore.

‘Gigli’ (2003)
They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but tell that to the team behind Gigli, and they’d quickly refute that adage. A movie now synonymous with “flop,” Gigli was such a disaster that it put Martin Brest seemingly in permanent director jail and turned Ben Affleck, who subsequently married his co-star, Jennifer Lopez, into a punchline for the tabloids. This is a quintessential “so bad it’s good” movie, yet even irony couldn’t draw people to theaters in 2003.
While we’re prone to reclaim movies once viewed as disappointments, there is no redeeming Gigli, a shapeless
Grossing a lowly $7 million on a $54 million budget, Gigli, a romantic-comedy set in the criminal underworld featuring two marquee movie stars, should’ve been a slam dunk, but people know a bomb when they see one. The film dropped a staggering 82% percent in gross in its second weekend of release, indicating that word of its creative ineptitude spread quickly. While we’re prone to reclaim movies once viewed as disappointments, there is no redeeming Gigli, a shapeless, poorly acted (notably an unforgivable Justin Bartha performance that was already insensitive in 2003), and lethargic film lacking humor and romance. Brest fell asleep behind the director’s chair, as his flair for high-octane action and comedy, seen in Midnight Run, is nowhere to be found. Gigli even fails as a cult “bad” movie like The Room, as there is little joy or energy in the film’s meandering conversations between the two lead stars-turned-couple.

‘Battlefield Earth’ (2000)
John Travolta‘s career arc is quite the adventure. After his breakthrough in the 1970s, he soon lost his reverence and viability in the public eye by the early ’90s, only to have Quentin Tarantino revive him with Pulp Fiction. His unexpected comeback restored his A-list credibility, but his self-destructive nature came back to haunt him with the sci-fi disasterpiece, Battlefield Earth, one of the most ridiculed and loathed films in recent history.
General audience curiosity in this strange-looking mess wasn’t enough to make up for costs, as the 2000 film directed by Roger Christian grossed $29 million on a $73 million budget. A movie practically designed to dominate the Golden Raspberries, Battlefield Earth wants us to take this story of alien invasion and enslaved human uprising seriously, but everything about it, from the obnoxiously flashy visual language to the garish makeup and costume design, is a laughingstock. Of course, everyone had their guns out for this film due to Travolta’s ties to Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote the film’s source material. The trailers alone made viewers long for Tarantino to give this gifted actor a worthy part. You could do a lot worse than spend a night mocking Battlefield Earth‘s ridiculous script and story logic, but the people were unwilling to pay the price of admission in theaters.

‘Madame Web’ (2024)
Not everyone can be the Marvel Cinematic Universe—just ask Sony’s extended Spider-Man universe. They may have the rights to certain Marvel Comics characters, but they don’t have the vision and standard of quality shepherded by Kevin Feige. Following the lackluster whiffs in Venom and Morbius, Sony’s attempts at retaining control of Spider-Man while Tom Holland thrived in the MCU reached their nadir with Madame Web, this generation’s signature bad movie that is still worthy of dissection.
Superhero fatigue or not, Madame Web, which only grossed $100 million on an $80 million budget, was a flop the moment its first trailer dropped, featuring the notorious line “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.” Dakota Johnson is captivating in romantic comedies or indie dramas, but as a superhero, she’s completely out of her league. A peak example of “gas-leak cinema,” something is just off throughout all of Madame Web, from the stilted acting and choppy ADR to the lackadaisical pace and frictionless stakes. S.J. Clarkson‘s film is begging Spider-Man to swing in and save the day, as, without the marquee character’s presence, this origin story is completely aimless. Sony pushed their luck with Madame Web, who learned the hard way that audiences in 2024 were not automatically lulled by the Marvel Comics logo.

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ (2024)
Just because a movie performed well, even one billion dollars well, doesn’t mean we demand a sequel. Joker was always designed to be a one-off, stand-alone film starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips. Five years after dominating the box office and winning multiple Academy Awards, Warner Bros. egregiously overstayed their welcome with Joker: Folie à Deux, a towering box office bomb and source of sheer audience outrage that will be nearly impossible to top.
Warner Bros’ 2025 triumph was a needed comeback after the calamitous performance of their 2024 Joker sequel, which grossed $207 million on a $190 million budget, a seismic drop-off from its previous installment. On paper, Phillips using his cachet to turn a Joker sequel into a dark musical crossed with a prison and courtroom drama is intriguing, and it’s a brilliant counter to the formulaic nature of comic book movies. However, ideas only get you so far, as Joker: Folie à Deux, also starring a wasted Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, is woefully executed. Every scene is punishingly dour without the sophistication of a weighty drama, and the musical numbers play as distractions rather than artistic statements. For such a major blockbuster, the film is inexplicably condensed in scope, merely serving as a recap of what happened in the 2019 movie. Laboriously paced and insultingly one-note, Folie à Deux let everyone know ahead of time that this would be a folly with its title. After the exhausting discourse and controversy surrounding Joker, people were ready to move on from Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) and his anarchic ways.

Christopher Nolan’s Near-Perfect ‘Dark Knight’ Opening Heist Is Pulled From This 10/10 Thriller
Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight is considered a masterpiece of the comic book movie genre, taking Batman and placing him in a world that felt tangible and gripping. The film’s opening statement was the devastatingly choreographed heist at the beginning of the film, which introduced Heath Ledger‘s unforgettable Joker.
Nolan is a student of film, and many (including the film’s creatives) have pointed to 1995 crime classic Heat as a big inspiration for the sequence, and the film in general. Michael Mann‘s tense, methodical filmmaking made Nolan realize he could make a superhero movie his way, and the results were electrifying.
Christopher Nolan Introduces Us to Heath Ledger’s Joker in the Most Perfect Way
Set to the anxious strings of Hans Zimmer‘s opening theme, titled simply “Bank Robbery,” a balletic chain of events unfolds as a gang of masked criminals rob a mafia-owned bank in Gotham. In each step of the robbery, the criminals are instructed to betray each other, unwittingly wiping themselves out until only the orchestrator remains. When questioned by a bank manager (William Fichtner) about what he believes in, the leader removes his mask, revealing the Joker. “I believe whatever doesn’t kill you makes you… stranger,” he replies, before laughing and escaping with the bank’s money.
‘The Dark Knight’s Most Famous Line Wasn’t Written by Christopher Nolan — and It Still Bothers Him
Nolan was not the hero in this circumstance.
In just over six minutes, the robbery sets the tone for the film, a comic book movie viewed through the lens of a crime thriller. A villain who is vicious enough to commit such crimes, but also treats chaos as an ethos, meticulously planning an event that is meant to throw Gotham’s criminal underworld into disarray. Nolan’s approach doesn’t copy Heat‘s homework, but it speaks the same cinematic language. The military organization of the Gotham Bank robbery echoes that of Neil McCauley’s (Robert De Niro) crew as they rob over a million dollars from an armored car. Both crews wear masks, both time their plans (and the response to them), and both use urban geography as a canvas. Disrupting the regular hum of a city, only to use it as the perfect getaway disguised as everyday transport (in Heat it’s an ambulance, while the Joker uses an empty school bus).
Christopher Nolan Proudly Claimed ‘Heat’ as an Influence on ‘The Dark Knight’
Part of why we know The Dark Knight was inspired by Heat is that the filmmakers themselves are so open about it. Jonathan Nolan, who wrote the script for the film, told Josh Horowitz about its impact during an interview in 2024. “That movie made such an impression on me,” he said, citing the film’s grounded tone as a major influence from the beginning. “Could you bring that feeling into the Batman universe? Could you tell a story like Heat? To me, that early draft was a bit of: ‘this is what I think a Batman movie should be!’”
It would seem his brother agreed, as in 2023, Christopher Nolan appeared on the YouTube interview channel, Kombini, with regular collaborator Cillian Murphy, and the subject of the film came up. “Heat! Absolute classic,” Nolan exclaimed while picking up a DVD of the movie. “I’ve been talking about this film for years, because I kept ripping it off,” he joked, before adding: “Big influence on The Dark Knight!” Alluding to the similarities, Murphy replied: “That shootout sequence?” “Incredible shootout,” Nolan confirmed.
‘Heat’s Impact Stretches Beyond the Bank Robbery Scene in ‘The Dark Knight’
Stylistically, the opening sequence of The Dark Knight and the heist in Heat are the most obvious comparison, but the DNA of Mann’s film exists in the very philosophy of Nolan’s story. Heat follows weary LAPD Robbery Homicide Lieutenant Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) on the tail of lifelong criminal McCauley, with both men seeing parts of themselves in the other. Hanna cannot leave the life of chasing criminals, just as McCauley seems tethered to a life of crime. During the infamous diner scene between the two leads, they ruminate on how they can’t walk away from who they are. “I don’t know how to do anything else,” says Hanna. “Neither do I,” replies McCauley. “I don’t much want to either,” adds the cop. “Neither do I” agrees the criminal.
That philosophy is present in Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) and Joker, two men committed to their own codes: Batman the law of justice, and Joker the law of chaos. Two sides of the same coin, and two men unable to walk away from their principles. “This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object,” Joker claims toward the end of the film. “You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.”
It’s there that the parallels between the movies become clear — two men on separate sides of the law, unable to back down from what they need to do. With The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan set a new standard in comic book movies, by making audiences rethink what a superhero movie could be. When the lore of Batman is told in the language of classic cinema, an age-old rivalry is reinvented.

Peacock‘s movie lineup for April is very front-loaded, which means that most of the streamer’s new films for the month have already arrived.
There are some exceptions to that, including the recently arrived Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The original was a massive hit despite debuting in theaters the same day it dropped on Peacock.
Now, that film is one of Watch With Us‘ choices for the three best Peacock movies to binge-watch this weekend.
Our remaining picks include an over-the-top comedy and a very unusual animated film.
‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ (2025)
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 kicks off in 2002, two years after the events of the original film. The children killed by William Afton (Matthew Lillard) possessed his animatronic creatures and took their revenge. Or at least that’s what Mich Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) wants to believe. But he’s smart enough to refuse the requests of his younger sister, Abby Schmidt (Piper Rubio), to rebuild the creatures so she can reunite with her friends.
Mike is also increasingly wary of Officer Vanessa Shelly (Elizabeth Lail), the daughter of Afton, who may not be as blameless for her father’s rampage as he previously believed. With that relationship in peril, Toy Chica (Megan Fox) and the Marionette lure Abby to one of the original sites to restart the animatronics’ rampage. And this time, there’s no guarantee that the Schmidt family will be spared.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is streaming on Peacock.
‘Liar Liar’ (1997)
Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a great lawyer and an even better liar in Liar Liar. He lies so easily that it makes him very effective in court, even though Fletcher’s dishonesty led to the end of his marriage to Audrey Reede (Maura Tierney). After letting down his young son, Max (Justin Cooper), on his birthday, Fletcher is struck by Max’s birthday wish that he be unable to tell a lie for a single day.
Peacock has a fantastic selection of movies spanning genres and decades, all available at one’s fingertips in December. Watch With Us takes a look at the best movies streaming on Peacock right now, and we’re highlighting two of the newest additions this month. Our first pick is Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, a funny, touching autobiographical drama about […]
It’s not as if Fletcher believes in birthday wishes, but this one is real, and it came at an inopportune time. Fletcher has to appear in court to settle a high-profile divorce, and he has to be completely truthful while doing it. Not even physically beating himself up is enough to break the hold that this curse has on him.
Liar Liar is streaming on Peacock.
‘Piece by Piece’ (2024)
Piece by Piece is both a Lego movie and a music biopic for Pharrell Williams, who voices himself in the film. It’s an interesting way to present the largely true story of Williams’ rise in the music industry as well as his occasional falls and stumbles. Even Williams’ real-life wife, Helen Lasichanh, and his parents get in on the fun of voicing themselves.
But one of the biggest attractions of this film is its musical appearances by Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z and several others, all of whom play themselves. Williams acknowledges that he owes his career and some positive outcomes to his friends in the music industry, but he’ll have to chart his own path to be fully happy with himself and his destination.
Piece by Piece is streaming on Peacock.
After dominating home-video charts for weeks with his overlooked 2025 comedy film Good Fortune, Keanu Reeves is poised to continue the momentum with his latest release. However, the ride might be a little bumpy this time around, as the movie in question has been ruthlessly panned by critics. Good Fortune was directed by Aziz Ansari, who also played the protagonist. The fantasy comedy, which featured Seth Rogen in a supporting role, received positive reviews for its heartfelt story and tender humor but failed to recoup its reported $30 million budget. Reeves’ new movie is also a comedy, albeit completely unlike Good Fortune.
For starters, it didn’t get a theatrical run at all, and was released on Apple TV this Friday. The movie marks Oscar nominee Jonah Hill‘s sophomore feature as a director after the semi-autobiographical comedy drama Mid90s, which was released domestically by A24 in 2018. A tribute to skateboarding culture in Los Angeles when Hill was growing up, Mid90s currently holds a “Certified Fresh” 81% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The coming-of-age comedy-drama grossed around $9 million in its box-office run against a reported budget of $1.7 million. More than anything else, it established Hill as a talented filmmaker.
Jonah Hill’s New Movie Has Been Critically Panned
However, the bigger cast and (presumably) bigger budget don’t seem to have worked for him. Hill’s new film, Outcome, opened to poor reviews on Friday. But according to FlixPatrol, it jumped straight to the top of the global and domestic Apple TV viewership charts. The streamer’s leaderboard isn’t as dynamic as those of its competitors, mainly because it releases fewer titles than they do. Outcome features Reeves as a legendary movie star who, facing cancellation, embarks on a personal apology tour to make amends with everyone he’s wronged. The film also features Hill as the star’s obnoxious lawyer, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer as his best friends and confidantes, and Martin Scorsese in a memorable cameo as his first agent. Outcome holds a 26% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s Nate Richard describing it in his review as “a fascinating mess that rides the line between sincerity and crassness.” Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
