10 Most Undeniable Sci-Fi Movie Classics, Ranked
A sci-fi classic is not just a great movie with futuristic ideas in it. If that was the case, every sci-fi would be partially classic. Instead, a classic is a movie that people keep returning to because the concept, the execution, and the feeling of it all locked together so completely that time could not shake it loose. Some of these films changed visual language. Some changed blockbuster pacing. Some changed what audiences thought science fiction was even allowed to do.
But the real reason they last is simpler than that: they still work on the most basic level. They still pull people in fast, still create worlds you immediately believe in, and still deliver scenes that feel alive no matter how many times you watch them. That is what makes these ten movies below undeniable. Not important in the dry film-history sense. Undeniable.

‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ (1977)
What makes Close Encounters of the Third Kind such a permanent sci-fi classic is that it does not approach alien contact like a war film, a horror film, or a puzzle box first. It approaches it like an obsession. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is turned into a chosen-one hero and he is a man whose normal life starts breaking apart because he has seen something he cannot fit back into ordinary reality. That choice gives the whole movie its strange pull. It is about being drawn somewhere you do not understand.
And Steven Spielberg’s control of wonder here is unbelievable. The film keeps letting mystery build through behavior, sound, fragments, and mounting compulsion. Roy shaping Devil’s Tower out of mashed potatoes should be ridiculous, but it works because the movie has made obsession feel physical by that point. The lights, the music, the scale, the patience of it, the sense that communication itself is the event, it all hits and earns the movie its awe.
9
‘The Matrix’ (1999)
A lot of movies changed action. A lot of movies changed sci-fi aesthetics. Very few changed both while also dropping one of the most immediately gripping high-concept premises blockbuster cinema has ever seen. The Matrix wastes almost no time getting its hooks in. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is already living with a low-grade sense that reality is wrong, and once Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) starts pulling him toward the truth, the movie becomes a machine built to reward curiosity.
But the reason it still stands this tall is that all those themes that were hinted at in 1999, are coming to light today in 2026. It is more relatable today. Its pills references are vibrant in pop culture now, 27 years later. It is structurally clean. The rules get introduced clearly, the stakes grow naturally, and the action is always tied to Neo’s changing belief in himself. The lobby shootout is iconic, obviously. The rooftop dodge, the subway fight with Smith, the bullet-time imagery, all of that landed for a reason. But the movie’s real strength is how confidently it makes philosophy playable. Identity, control, illusion, fate, freedom, these are big ideas, and the film manages to turn them into tension instead of homework.
8
‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of the easiest movies in the world to rewatch because it understands escalation at every level. It is bigger than The Terminator, more emotional, more ambitious, and somehow even cleaner in its storytelling. The setup is instantly strong: John Connor (Edward Furlong) is the future, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) is already wrecked by what she knows, and the machine that once hunted her is now the closest thing John has to a protector. That reversal is so smart because it gives the movie action, character, and emotion in one move.
Then it just keeps delivering. The T-1000 (Robert Patrick) is one of the great movie antagonists. He is relentless without being noisy about it. Patrick plays him with this cold, efficient inevitability that makes every pursuit scene sharper. The canal chase, the hospital escape, the steel mill finale, the set pieces are incredible, but what makes the film a classic is how much feeling it carries inside them. Sarah’s terror, John’s need for connection, the Terminator slowly becoming something John can attach meaning to — that is why the ending works as more than spectacle. The film knows how to make action hurt.
7
‘Blade Runner’ (1982)
There are more propulsive sci-fi movies than Blade Runner. There are cleaner plots. There are easier first watches. None of that matters much when the atmosphere, thematic weight, and visual identity are this complete. Ridley Scott made one of the most convincing cinematic future worlds ever put on screen, a place where rain, neon, exhaustion, commerce, memory, and moral decay all feel fused together. You are inside it within minutes.
And the movie’s staying power comes from the fact that it is not using its sci-fi ideas as decoration. They are the film’s whole moral challenge. Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer)’s acting is an epic sci-fi performance. He forces the movie past simple hunter-prey dynamics. He is angry, intelligent, cornered by mortality, and more emotionally awake than many of the humans around him. All in all, Blade Runner is a movie about how fragile life looks when time starts running out.
6
‘Alien’ (1979)
Alien is a sci-fi classic because it understands that futuristic world-building means nothing if the space itself does not feel lived in. The Nostromo, apparently a glossy fantasy of the future, also feels industrial, cramped, tired, mechanical, and real. These people feel like workers before they feel like genre pieces on a chessboard. Once the horror begins, the movie has already given the setting texture. You believe this crew exists. You believe their routines. You believe the ship. So when things go wrong, the panic sticks harder.
The brilliance of the film is how long it trusts dread. The facehugger, the chestburster, the motion tracker tension, the ventilation shafts, the revelation about Ash (Ian Holm), Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) piecing together the real shape of the threat — none of this is rushed. Weaver is a huge part of why the movie became immortal. Ripley does not feel like she was built in a lab to be iconic. She becomes iconic because she thinks clearly under pressure, notices what others miss, and survives through will and competence rather than movie-star invincibility. Alien keeps proving that science fiction can be tactile, intelligent, and terrifying all at once.
5
‘Star Wars’ (1977)

What puts Star Wars in this tier is not just influence, though the influence is absurd. It is how fast and how completely it locks into story pleasure. Within one movie, you get a tyranny, a rebellion, a farm boy pulled into something larger, a cynical smuggler with actual charm, a princess with backbone, a masked villain with mythic presence, a mentor figure, a superweapon, dogfights, rescues, and one of the cleanest heroic arcs ever made. That is an insane amount to land, and it lands because George Lucas keeps the storytelling simple where it needs to be simple.
The movie’s greatness is in its clarity. Every location feels distinct. Every character slot is memorable. Every tonal shift is easy to follow. The Death Star rescue in the film has already made Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) fun to watch together. The trench run is so good because the movie has spent enough time building Luke’s growth and the rebellion’s desperation. Darth Vader (David Prowse) works because the film understands the power of holding something back. Star Wars did not become a foundational classic because of brand afterlife. It became one because, on its own terms, it is an outrageously efficient and satisfying piece of sci-fi adventure storytelling.
4
‘The Thing’ (1982)
Few sci-fi classics hold up as savagely as The Thing because it attacks trust itself. The monster is terrifying, yes, but what makes the movie great is that the creature changes the social order of the room. After a certain point, nobody can be read normally anymore. Every glance, hesitation, accusation, and decision starts carrying the possibility of contamination. That turns the film into something meaner and smarter than a creature feature. It becomes a paranoia machine.
John Carpenter has helmed it with total confidence. The Antarctic isolation is already enough to strip away comfort, and then the movie starts using identity as the battlefield. MacReady (Kurt Russell) works because he is not some polished chosen hero. He is practical, irritated, suspicious, and forced into leadership by the fact that the situation no longer allows indecision. The blood-test scene alone would secure the film’s legacy. It is one of the tightest suspense sequences in sci-fi horror because the entire movie’s idea is compressed into one unbearable stretch of waiting. Add in the practical effects, which are still disgusting in exactly the right way, and The Thing becomes impossible to deny.
3
‘Jurassic Park’ (1993)
Jurassic Park is such a towering classic and it shouldn’t be debatable by anybody. It nails both halves of the premise. The awe is real, and the danger is real. A lot of creature-driven sci-fi can do one or the other. This movie does both with precision. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) anchor the film’s ideas so well that the T. rex breakout becomes one of the greatest blockbuster sequences ever staged because every detail is doing work before chaos erupts.
When Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm first see the dinosaurs, that whole wonder that’s captured on screen? Yeah that has moved generations and still does. Steven Spielberg wanted the audience to feel why this dream would seduce investors, scientists, children, and egomaniacs alike. And he did it. That is crucial groundwork. The water cup trembling. The fence failing. The kids trapped. Grant trying to take control while understanding immediately how bad this is. The movie never let the dinosaurs become empty effects demonstrations. The velociraptors are not just cooler threats added late. They complete the film’s idea that intelligence without humility is a disaster waiting to happen. Jurassic Park is thrilling, its spectacle is built on consequence, it moves you even today, and that’s why it’s a classic.
2
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ (1968)
There are sci-fi classics that changed the genre. Then there is 2001: A Space Odyssey, which changed the scale of what sci-fi on film could even attempt. This is not a mere movie that tries to spoon-feed wonder or terror or explanation. It trusts image, duration, composition, sound, silence, and viewer attention at a level that still feels radical. From the Dawn of Man opening to the space-station movement to the HAL crisis to the final cosmic passage, the film keeps reinventing what kind of experience it wants to be.
And yet what makes it undeniable is not just that it is ambitious. It is that the ambition holds. HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain) is one of the greatest sci-fi creations ever. A machine built for perfect assistance becomes the source of deadly control, and the calmness of HAL’s voice makes every moment worse. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) pulling himself back into the ship, shutting HAL down piece by piece, listening as HAL regresses — that stretch is as gripping as anything in the genre. 2001: A Space Odyssey remains a classic because it is operating on a level too high to dismiss.
1
‘Back to the Future’ (1985)
Back to the Future is the most undeniable sci-fi movie classic because it does the hardest thing of all: it makes brilliance look effortless. Time travel movies are usually either too messy, too technical, too self-serious, or so busy admiring their own mechanics that they forget to be fun. This movie is almost impossibly clean. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) gets thrown back into 1955, accidentally disrupts his parents’ first connection, has to repair the timeline, and needs a way home. That is the plot. And from there, the film just executes at a nearly supernatural level.
Every relationship pays off. Every gag matters later. Every ticking-clock element comes back stronger near the end. Fox gives Marty exactly the right mix of confidence, panic, decency, and quick-thinking charm. Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) turns what could have been a one-note eccentric into the emotional and comic heartbeat of the whole movie. George McFly (Crispin Glover)’s arc is satisfying because the film understands that courage can be funny, humiliating, and real at the same time. Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) is the exact right kind of bully for this world. The lightning-strike finale is one of the best sustained endings in blockbuster history. And all that is why it sits at number one.

Constance Wu is revealing how she managed to build a bond with her Happy Hours costar Katie Holmes.
“You know, we … both started our careers in television and we’re about the same age,” Wu, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly on May 20 while attending the American Ballet Theatre’s Spring Gala in New York City. “We both have kids, so there was just a lot to bond on.” (Wu shares two children with her partner, Ryan Kattner, while Homes, 47, shares daughter Siri with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)
Wu continued, “I just also really like her. She and I also read books – like, people don’t read books anymore but we read a lot. So, you know, we like to talk books, we like to talk music, we like to talk ballet. She’s a great person.”
Holmes is listed as the director and writer of the first installment of her most recent project, Happy Hours, also starring Joshua Jackson, Mary-Louise Parker, Joe Tippett, Jack Martin, Johnna Dias-Watson, Nathan Darrow, John McGinty and Donald Webber Jr.
Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson’s latest photos on the set of Happy Hours have Us wondering what their Dawson’s Creek characters Joey and Pacey would be like as parents. Holmes, 46, and Jackson, 47, were photographed pushing a Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew baby stroller together while shooting scenes for their forthcoming trilogy of films in […]
The “character-driven dramedy” follows two people (Jackson and Holmes) as they navigate “their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life’s inevitable obstacles,” per Deadline.
“It’s a character-driven dramedy that explores the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect as adults, with the connective thread of shared joys, loss and hope,” the outlet added.

Production of the first installment began in summer 2025 in New York City. Since news of the project first broke, fans of the beloved series Dawson’s Creek have been clamoring for a chance to see Holmes and Jackson reunite onscreen.
“If this is a Dawson’s Creek reboot after 23 years I’m here for it! And let’s make it right this time and call it Pacey’s Creek,” one X user wrote after photos of Holmes and Jackson reuniting on set went viral.
“This is 20 years in the making… we finally get to see the adult story of Joey & Pacey,” another fan posted at the time.
As Wu continues to work alongside Homes and the rest of her costars, she’s being honest about what it’s actually like trying to find that elusive work-life balance as a working mom in Hollywood.
Fans are thrilled that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are back together again — even if it’s just for a movie. The pair were spotted filming the upcoming trilogy Happy Hours together in New York City on July 21. Jackson was wearing a green button-top shirt while Holmes wore a pink flannel over black pants. […]
“I haven’t figured it out yet,” Wu candidly told Us on May 20. “One will inevitably get more time and attention [family or career], and if I have to choose which one’s getting more time and attention it’s going to be my kids and motherhood.”
She continued, “Which I tell myself actually makes my acting work better, because the richer your life experience is the deeper you can go into your characters. That’s what I tell myself.”
Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Jim Curtis are happier than ever, with insiders claiming the couple may even be considering a spontaneous wedding celebration during an upcoming trip to Mexico.
Sources say the actress has found a sense of peace in the relationship, while Curtis has become a natural fit within her inner circle.
As romance rumors continue to swirl, Jennifer Aniston has also been turning heads with a subtle new hair transformation while filming season five of “The Morning Show” in Los Angeles.
Aniston is reportedly in a very great place with her hypnotist boyfriend, Curtis, as the couple approaches their first anniversary together, with new speculation suggesting they may even be considering a spontaneous wedding celebration.
According to recent reports, the pair is planning a romantic trip to Mexico in the coming weeks to mark the milestone at a luxury resort in Los Cabos.
“She’s beyond excited,” a source told Star Magazine, noting that the actress has “even started hinting that they might have an impromptu wedding, just a very tiny gathering of their very closest friends.”
The “We Are The Millers” star, 57, is said to have a strong fondness for Mexico, and its proximity to Los Angeles reportedly makes it an easy destination for quick trips.
One source noted that friends wouldn’t be difficult to gather if she decided to make the occasion more significant, with several allegedly open to the idea.
If they do decide to exchange vows, sources say the ceremony would likely be relaxed and intimate, “something low-key on the sand with margaritas and not much else.”
A larger celebration back in Los Angeles has also reportedly been discussed as a possible follow-up.
The Couple’s Relationship Has Deepened Over The Last Few Months
The latest update comes after reports earlier this month claimed Aniston and Curtis are stronger than ever following the romance rumors that first surfaced after their Mallorca vacation last summer.
According to insiders, the relationship has brought Aniston a sense of happiness that the actress has always longed for.
“It’s a great partnership and makes Jen very happy,” one source shared with People Magazine, describing Curtis as someone with warm, positive energy who naturally connects with people.
Jennifer Aniston And Jim Curtis Always Make Time To See Each Other Amid Their Busy Schedule
Despite Curtis and Aniston’s packed schedules, the couple reportedly makes their relationship a priority.
Aniston is currently filming season five of “The Morning Show” alongside Reese Witherspoon, but insiders say the pair still find time for each other throughout the week and enjoy spending time with their close-knit group of friends.
Sources also claim the relationship grew from a genuine friendship first, which helped “make their relationship feel much more genuine from the start.”
The Couple Went Instagram Official With A Sweet Photo
After initially keeping things private, Aniston and Curtis officially confirmed their romance on social media late last year with a cozy Instagram post from their Mallorca trip.
Since then, those close to the couple say they have become “inseparable,” with a source telling Us Weekly, “This is the most comfortable she has felt in a long time, and it’s still going well.”
Curtis has also hinted that 2026 could bring even more exciting moments for the pair. Reflecting on the past year, he reportedly shared that while many wonderful things happened, it was ultimately the people in his life who mattered most.
Unsurprisingly, many interpreted his comment as a nod to his relationship with the “Friends” star.
Jennifer Aniston Debuts Fresh Blonde Look While Reflecting On Iconic ‘Rachel’ Hair Era
Meanwhile, Aniston has also been making headlines for a subtle style refresh while filming the new season of “The Morning Show” in Los Angeles.
According to InStyle, the actress was recently spotted on set debuting slightly brighter blonde tones with soft platinum highlights framing her face.
She styled the updated look in a classic side part and paired it with a sophisticated outfit featuring a tan coat, coordinating top, black midi skirt, and slingback heels, accessorized with gold jewelry and a matching handbag.
Aniston’s hair has long been one of her most recognizable trademarks, dating back to her time on “Friends,” where her layered haircut became a worldwide phenomenon known as “The Rachel,” inspired by her character Rachel Green.
Ironically, despite the hairstyle’s massive popularity, Aniston has admitted she was never a fan of it herself. In a past interview with Allure, she jokingly called longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan “the bane of my existence” for creating the iconic look, later adding that she thought it was “the ugliest haircut” she had ever had.
James Van Der Beek’s ex-wife, Heather McComb, has tied the knot with Scott Michael Campbell.
“Yesterday @scottmichaelcampbell and I under the covenant of God got officially married by my beautiful sister @essence_says surround[ed] by the people we love most in the world in our most favorite city Missoula Montana,” McComb, 49, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 31, announcing the pair’s nuptials. “Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by. God is so good. Thank you to all of our family and friends who traveled from all over the country to be with us. Thank you Jesus the way maker miracle worker!”
She continued, “You all made it so special and a truly magical weekend that we will never forget. We are sitting here counting our many blessings. Thank you to everyone who made this so special for us!”
McComb also shared a series of photos from the celebratory event, including one image where she was seen smiling as she wrapped her arms around Campbell while at the altar.
Kimberly Van Der Beek is paying tribute to her late husband, James Van Der Beek, on what would have been his 49th birthday. “Would be your 49th birthday today. And I’m missing you tremendously,” Kimberly began via her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 8, alongside a photo of her and James. Kimberly then shared a […]
McComb was previously married to the late Van Der Beek from 2003 to 2010. That same year, James exchanged vows with Kimberly Van Der Beek. The pair went on to welcome six children.
News broke in February that James died at age 48 following a battle with stage III colorectal cancer. McComb, for her part, paid tribute to James in an emotional Instagram post at the time.
“Thank you for everyone who has reached out,” she wrote. “I appreciate and feel all your love. I am heartbroken over the loss of beloved James. I am especially heartbroken for his incredible wife Kimberly, his beautiful children and his amazing family, Jim, Jared, Juliana and all of his family and friends who I know he loved deeply.”
Alongside the message, McComb uploaded a black-and-white photo of her hugging James. She explained in the caption that the image was from her 21st birthday and James’ Dawson’s Creek had yet to air.
James Van Der Beek’s wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, shared a heartfelt message about grief three months after the actor’s death. “Yesterday was three months since we lost @vanderjames. To say I’m heartbroken is a severe understatement,” Kimberly, 44, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 12, alongside a series of photos from her life with […]
“This is how I will always see James innocent, kind and pure of heart,” she wrote. “What a journey we shared over the years. I sit here in immense gratitude for the special connection, friendship and love that James and I shared that has endured through decades. I will treasure the last loving words we exchanged. James was a beautiful soul filled with so much light, love, talent, humor, depth, sensitivity, knowledge and a deep love of God that shined through him. He shined so bright yet was so humble and human. Always searching, always growing, always going deeper, always chasing things outside his comfort zone.”
She continued, “I know that James loved being a father so much and oh how he loved Kimberly with his everything. True soulmates. How she showed up for him with such grace is so beautiful and something I will forever admire. James was a blessing to all that knew him and because of his boldness to share his journey with the world so bravely is now a blessing to all.”
In the caption, McComb asked God to “please hold Kimberly, his children, his family and everyone who is mourning his loss in your arms.”
“You are the healer of all healers,” she concluded. “Thank you Jesus for bringing this beautiful soul into the world and into all of our lives. I love you James. I know you had a lot of loved ones up there welcoming you home. God bless you. Till we meet again you sweet soul you. Prayers up 🙏❤️.”
Taylor Frankie Paul is reflecting on her past mistakes on the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month. On Instagram, the “SLOMW” reality star revealed that she was still processing the drama that unfolded in her life from March to May 2026. In addition, she shared an important message with her followers who might also be struggling.
Paul recently shared a new slideshow of photos on her Instagram, speaking about what she’s learned throughout Mental Health Awareness Month.
“Still processing two shows were put on pause. Balled it up in both shows, made some boys cry and now I’m bawling,” she wrote. “What is life? …Take it seriously, learn lessons but don’t forget to be silly too. It’s okay to smile again after making mistakes. Today is the last day of mental health awareness month and just know if you’re out there struggling you’re not alone.”
Paul previously opened up about Mental Health Awareness Month in early May, according to The Blast. After sharing an AI-generated photo of herself with bruises and scratches, Paul said the photo represented how she was feeling in real life.
“Patches for pain, heat relaxes the tension, IV helps hydrate and supplement when lacking all nutrients due to no appetite, bandaids were deliberate—pain you cannot see,” she captioned the picture.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s Season Of ‘The Bachelorette’ Was Axed After Shocking Video Surfaces
Paul’s post comes months after sources revealed production on season 5 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” had been halted due to her alleged domestic disputes with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.
Shortly after, a video of Paul appearing to assault Mortensen with her fists was shared online. Also in the clip, Paul can be seen throwing two heavy, metal chairs at Mortensen, one of which hit her minor daughter, leaving a visible mark.
The video was shared days before Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” was set to begin. However, ABC and Disney pulled the plug on the program after public backlash.
“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney representative said.
Taylor Frankie Paul Broke Her Silence After Learning Programs Had Been Impacted
Paul spoke out after the video’s release, admitting she was struggling with what had been going on.
“It’s just heavy. It’s a heavy time, and it’s unfortunate,” she said. “I’m struggling for sure, but also at the same time I feel like if I don’t show up, then I’m just giving these opportunities away and not enjoying what we’ve worked on and something super exciting that’s coming. I just feel like it was the right thing to do… show up even though it’s hard.”
Mortensen, meanwhile, shared his own statement through his rep, revealing that he had hoped to keep his and Paul’s personal matters out of the public eye.
“He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can’t do that,” the statement read.
Season 5 Of ‘The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Will Be Different
According to a previous report from The Blast, season 5 of “SLOMW” will return to Hulu, but not the way fans are used to.
Instead of a full season of episodes, viewers will only get the five episodes filmed before the show’s cameras went down in March 2026.
But that doesn’t mean the popular reality series is going anywhere anytime soon.
“Right now, they’re just filming confessionals for season 5,” a source said. “They’ve decided they’re not going to film the rest of season 5, but apparently they’re still going to film season 6.”
A ‘Mormon Wives’ Spin-Off Is Coming To Hulu
Another report from The Blast reveals that Hulu is expanding the “Mormon Wives” franchise with a series set in Orange County, California.
While details about the new series have been kept under wraps, the show will include Bobbi Althoff, Madison Bontempo, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, Chandler Hagginson, Ashleigh Pease, and McCall DaPron.
Jen Affleck will also be part of the group.
“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity,” the show’s synopsis reads. “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”
Continuing, it reads, “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun bump up their love with a poignant walk around NYC!
The movie star and her freshly minted beau were spotted on the streets of the Big Apple getting the best out of their nights in the spirit of their whirlwind romance, which has caught the attention of many spectators.
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have both been in long-term relationships in the past, with the former’s engagement to business Jonathan Davino and the latter’s marriage to mining heiress Yael Cohen, which produced three kids.
Sweeney and Braun had a blast in NYC on Saturday, ending the evening with a visit to Times Square. The couple was seen together earlier, both wearing fashionable all-black outfits. While the actress was clad in a short black dress with a deep neckline, Braun went with a black suit.
Braun told the world on Instagram of how the late-night adventure started after Sweeney admitted that she had never been to Times Square before. The video showed the duo riding rental bikes through the city before stopping for food.
At one point, Sweeney, dressed casually in a blue hoodie and sunglasses, sampled a burger. When Braun asked for her verdict, she gave an approving response, indicating that she enjoyed it.
The actress then went to the bright lights and zesty energy of Times Square, posing in front of a giant digital billboard promoting her American Eagle campaign. As noted by Page Six, Sweeney danced along to “Empire State of Mind,” the iconic New York anthem playing in the background.
Scooter Braun Gushed Over His Partner’s Acting Prowess
In an interview on Suzy Weiss’ “Second Thought” podcast on May 28, the music executive shared his take on the new season of “Euphoria.” Braun admitted that the show has generated a lot of mixed feelings, but he added that he still loves it.
He conceded that his judgment could be subjective and singled out one of the show’s principal stars as an outstanding performer, a veiled reference to Sweeney. The Blast noted that Braun was enthusiastic about the actress, describing her as genuine, intelligent, generous, and grounded among her best attributes.
The former talent manager also admitted that the romance hit him “out of the blue” and called the romance “one of the most surprising things in his life.”
Braun Reportedly Has One Surprising Take On Sydney Sweeney’s Explicit Scenes
Braun’s praise for Sweeney came shortly after reports surfaced about his reaction to the actress’ controversial scenes in the latest season of Euphoria. According to a source, the media personality has remained supportive of Sweeney despite the criticism surrounding her role.
The insider claimed he understands that certain scenes are part of the entertainment industry and respects the actress’s commitment to her work. Instead of influencing her decision on what she is doing with her career, the former manager reportedly believes in her instinct and backs her creative selections.
The source also noted that there has been no tension in their relationship because of the public scrutiny of Sweeney’s performance. Much of the criticism centered on Sweeney’s character storyline involving OnlyFans, as well as several attention-grabbing wardrobe choices that quickly went viral online.
Though many applauded her for having the courage to take risks as a performer, some industry watchers voiced concerns that the increased attention on her provocative roles might detract from her overall acting skills. Beyond Euphoria, Sweeney has also taken on intimate and provocative scenes in other recent projects, including The Housemaid, further fueling discussions about the direction of her career.
The Emmy Nominee Had The Perfect Caption For Her ‘Euphoria’ Character’s Craziest Season
The model revisited the whirlwind that was Cassie Howard’s journey in “Euphoria” Season 3. The actress shared a collection of behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the hit HBO series on Instagram, offering fans a glimpse into some of the season’s most memorable moments.
The post also had screenshots of Cassie and Nate’s wedding, video from their time at the Silver Slipper Strip Club, and pictures relating to the controversial OnlyFans storyline she had.
Cinemablend noted that Sweeney’s content was accompanied by a short caption that seemed to perfectly encapsulate the experience of playing Cassie during one of her most dramatic seasons yet.
Cassie’s storyline has sparked mixed reactions from viewers. While some praised the bold direction of her arc, others criticized the handling of her subscription-content storyline.
During the season, there was quite a bit of discussion surrounding the character’s actions and how the show depicted online content creation. Sweeney, despite the furor, hinted in her post that she had enjoyed the experience of being part of the final season of the Emmy-winning drama.
Whether the tribute marks the end of Season 3 or a farewell to the series itself remains unclear, as creator Sam Levinson has yet to confirm if another season is on the horizon.
Sydney Sweeney Is Not Breaking A Sweat Over Her Nude Scenes Backlash
The actress was not the only personality related to the HBO series catching flak for their creative decisions. Producer Levinson also got an earful from critics, prompting him to defend the storyline, especially in relation to Cassie’s questionable costumes and scenes.
As stated by The Blast, he explained that the idea behind those scenes was to elicit humor and some level of healthy absurdity, not to send a provocative tone.
According to Levinson, the humor stemmed from the bizarre situations surrounding the character, including having her housekeeper film the videos, which added another layer of satire to the story.
Sweeney also lent her voice to the pushback against the critics, emphasizing that none of the decisions surrounding her characters go out without passing through her table. She previously affirmed that Levinson never pressured her into filming raunchy scenes, and if need be, adjustments often came in where necessary.
She bemoaned the unhealthy fixation on the elements of nudity in her performance rather than recognizing the massive amount of work that goes behind the scenes to achieve anything.
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun know how to serve that couple of content!
The Brown family, stars of the hit reality TV series Alaskan Bush People, is speaking out after Matt Brown was found dead at 43.
“It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share the loss of our beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, Matthew Brown,” the statement, shared exclusively with Us Weekly on Sunday, May 31, began. “To millions of viewers, Matt was known as one of the original stars of Alaskan Bush People. To us, he was so much more.”
The family continued, “Matt was intelligent, curious, creative, and endlessly fascinated by the world around him. He was a gifted outdoorsman who felt most at home on the water, in the wilderness, or sharing what he had learned with others. He was an accomplished fisherman, an experienced boatman, and served as the radar operator on our family’s vessels. He loved adventure and never stopped exploring new ideas.”
Bear Brown, Matt’s brother, confirmed his sibling’s death at the age of 43 via TikTok on Saturday, May 30, revealing that their other brother, Noah Brown, was with the group of private citizens when they located his oldest brother’s remains.
“On Saturday, May 30, 2026, a group of private citizens conducting a search along the Okanogan River located a deceased individual in the river,” a Sunday, May 31, updated press release shared by Washington state’s Okanogan County Sheriff Office’s official Facebook account read in part. “The individual was recovered and brought to shore, where he was positively identified as Matthew Brown.”
Bear Brown slammed people leaving disrespectful comments about brother Matt Bear amid the family’s concerns for his well-being. “First off, I’m not just making a video on rumors. It’s a very, very, very, very small chance it’s not him. It’s like 99 percent him,” Bear, 38, said of the family’s fear for Matt, 43, in […]
Noah later broke his silence in the wake of his oldest brother’s death, confirming he was with the group of citizens when his brother’s remains were located.
“Matt had an extraordinary mind. He taught himself sign language, studied Egyptian hieroglyphs, petroglyphs, and Sanskrit, learned conversational Spanish, and could spend hours mastering a new skill simply for the joy of understanding it. He was also a talented artist whose creativity allowed him to see beauty and meaning in places others often overlooked,” the family’s Sunday statement to Us continued. “Those who truly knew Matt knew his heart. He was compassionate, generous with his time, and deeply wanted to help others.”
The family continued, “During periods of sobriety and recovery, he openly shared his struggles with addiction and mental health through his online videos and personal outreach. He encouraged others to seek help, offered hope to people fighting similar battles, and used his own experiences in an effort to make others feel less alone.”’

No official cause of death has been announced at the time of publication, though Matt’s brother Bear speculated that his sibling’s death was “self-inflicted.”
“I was so worried that he would end up ODed or something like that,” he said in a Saturday social media upload. “I didn’t think he would hurt himself.”
In the exclusive Sunday statement to Us, the family said they are “incredibly proud of the lives” Matt touched prior to his untimely death.
“Some of the messages we treasure most are from people who told us Matt’s honesty about addiction and recovery gave them hope during their own darkest moments,” the statement continued. “At the same time, Matt spent many years battling serious mental health challenges and addiction. These were complex struggles that affected every aspect of his life. Like countless families facing similar circumstances, we experienced periods of hope, recovery, setbacks, heartbreak, reconciliation, and renewed hope again.”
The family added, “Our dad, Billy Brown, never stopped believing in Matt’s ability to heal and find peace. Throughout the years, there were rehabilitation programs, interventions, treatment efforts, and countless attempts to support his recovery. Those efforts continued long after our father’s passing. In recent months, as Matt publicly shared his pain and struggles, members of our family were actively trying to reconnect, offer support, and help him find his way back to stability and healing.”
The family urged fans to remember that the “truth” regarding their family dynamics is “far more complicated than” what could ever be shown on television, adding that “mental illness and addiction are devastating diseases that impact not only the person suffering but everyone who loves them.”
“Families facing these challenges often make difficult decisions, establish boundaries, and endure periods of separation while never losing their love for the person at the center of the struggle. Our family was no different,” they continued. “Matt’s life was not without mistakes, struggles, and painful chapters. Like all of us, he was imperfect. Some of those chapters caused hurt, and we do not minimize that. At the same time, we do not believe that any person’s life should be defined solely by their lowest moments, especially when there was so much more to who they were.”
The family of Alaskan Bush People showcased their unique lifestyle for viewers from 2014 until 2022. The Discovery Channel docudrama-style reality show followed Billy Brown and Ami Brown as they survived in the remote wilderness of Alaska — and later Washington state — with their seven children, Matt Brown, Joshua “Bam Bam” Brown, Bear Brown, […]
The family went on to encourage fans to use the loss of their family member to advocate for “greater compassion for those silently battling mental illness, addiction, loneliness, and despair,” adding that “words” and “kindness” matters.
“If there is one message we hope people take from Matt’s life, it is that no one should have to suffer alone. If you are struggling with addiction, depression, or hopelessness, please reach out. Talk to someone. Ask for help. There is strength in seeking support, and there is always hope,” the family continued. “Matthew’s life cannot be measured solely by how it ended. It should be measured by the people he encouraged, the adventures he lived, the knowledge he pursued, the beauty he created, and the love he shared with those around him.”
They concluded, “When we think of Matt, we will not think first of his struggles. We will remember the young man who could navigate rough waters, draw for hours, lose himself in learning ancient symbols and forgotten histories, make us laugh unexpectedly, and dream bigger than most people ever dare. He was imperfect. He was human. He was deeply loved. And he will be missed beyond words.”

One of the good things about streaming becoming so easy and widespread is that there always seems to be some place for any movie to end up. The big streamers can fight over new releases, or just make multi-billion dollar deals to buy the competition, but there’s usually somebody who appreciates the classics. We’re specifically referring to classics like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which you can watch for free on Tubi.
Italian director Sergio Leone’s 1966 epic is generally considered one of the greatest films of all time, and definitely one of the best Westerns, and perhaps even the singular definitive spaghetti Western. Though it’s skewed because of modern reviews that take its legacy into account, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’s Rotten Tomatoes score sits at 97% for both critics and audiences — meaning it’s a consensus that the movie is straight-up great. How often does that happen?
What Is ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ About?
Along with Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is part of the loosely connected “Dollars Trilogy” (also known as the “Man with No Name Trilogy” after star Clint Eastwood’s ostensibly nameless antihero… though he does technically have a name in all three movies). The movies aren’t really related to each other, beyond the fact that Sergio Leone directed them, they’re in the same genre, and Clint Eastwood is in them as a laconic cowboy who wears a cool hat and a sarape. (Unfortunately, Leone didn’t have the foresight to have his cowboy movies tie together for a big Marvel-style payoff.)
In The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Eastwood’s character is a bounty hunter nicknamed Blondie, and though he’s not necessarily a nice guy, he’s the “Good” in the title. He runs a scam with a bandit named Tuco (the “Ugly,” played by Eli Wallach), where he hands him over to the authorities for a bounty and then saves him from being hanged so they can split the money and do the trick again in another town. They cross paths with a mercenary called Angel Eyes (the “Bad,” played by Lee Van Cleef) who is trying to find a stash of stolen Confederate gold.
Tuco finds out the cemetery where the gold is buried and Blondie finds out the specific grave it’s hidden in, forcing them all to (kinda) work together in an uneasy alliance. It’s a spoiler to say it all builds to a three-way standoff over who gets the gold, but treating that as a real spoiler does a disservice to Leone’s directing, Ennio Morricone’s iconic score, and Eastwood’s steely-eyed glare. And we’re talking about the definitive spaghetti Western here, so it’s not like there wouldn’t be a standoff at some point. It’s like saying the movie has boots and revolvers in it.
As of January 1, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is streaming for free on Tubi, so there’s really no reason not to set aside three hours or so and revel in the ecstasy of gold (that’s the big song from the soundtrack).
There was a time when I genuinely thought nothing would ever top Breaking Bad because almost every episode felt stressful in a way very few shows manage. Walter White (Bryan Cranston) kept making decisions that looked smart in the moment and disastrous five episodes later, which made the tension build naturally instead of feeling manufactured. The transformation of Walter White from high school teacher to ruthless drug lord kept audiences gripped to their TVs for five seasons. The series also stars Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Betsy Brandt, and Dean Norris, and it remains in the conversation of the best TV shows of all time.
After finishing the show, I kept searching for thrillers that could create that same feeling of pressure, paranoia, or emotional exhaustion, and honestly, most of them could not. Only a few stayed with me, which usually made me question every scene in different ways. Not only did these series match the tension and thrilling nature of Breaking Bad, they even surpassed the beloved AMC series. These are the only thriller shows that, for me, stand above Breaking Bad.
‘The Shield’ (2002–2008)
The thing that immediately separates The Shield from a lot of police dramas is Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis). From the very first episode, the show makes it clear that Vic is not a clean cop trying to survive inside a dirty system. He is already part of the problem. He steals from drug dealers, manipulates witnesses, and controls the streets through fear as much as law. The Strike Team around him follows the same pattern, especially Shane Vendrell (Walton Goggins), whose decisions gradually make every situation worse. The FX series also stars Catherine Dent, Michael Jace, Kenny Johnson, and Benito Martinez.
What keeps the show gripping for seven seasons is how badly things begin piling up once the team starts covering for itself. One lie creates another problem, then another, until even ordinary arrests begin carrying the risk of exposure. Claudette Wyms (CCH Pounder) and Dutch Wagenbach (Jay Karnes) slowly begin seeing pieces that do not fully add up, and the pressure around Vic keeps tightening season after season. By the end, the show stops feeling like a story about cops chasing criminals and turns into something much uglier about power, loyalty, and panic.
‘True Detective’ (2014–Present)
HBO struck gold with this impeccable anthology series. Every season of True Detective drops somebody into a case that slowly starts affecting the rest of their life. Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) spend years circling the same murders in Louisiana until the investigation begins following them outside work. Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) keeps revisiting an old disappearance while his own memory slowly becomes less reliable with age. Even the weaker seasons still keep that same feeling where the detectives never seem emotionally separate from the crimes they are investigating. Other featured actors include Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, Jodie Foster, Fiona Shaw, and Vince Vaughn.
The series also changes shape from season to season instead of repeating the exact same formula every time. One story leans heavily into serial killings and religion, another moves through political corruption and broken partnerships, while another becomes quieter and more personal. That atmosphere keeps the show gripping because the danger rarely feels far away, even during mundane scenes. The tension builds as we, the audience, piece together the mystery alongside the detectives.
‘The Sopranos’ (1999–2007)
This HBO series is a genuine masterpiece for a reason. At the beginning of The Sopranos, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) starts having panic attacks and quietly begins seeing a therapist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco). That alone changes the shape of the show because Tony is not only dealing with rival crews, money, and violence. He is also trying to explain himself in a small office every week while his personal life keeps getting messier around him. His wife Carmela (Edie Falco) already suspects more than he admits, and his children are growing old enough to notice the contradictions in the house.
The criminal side keeps expanding too. Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese), Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli), Paulie Walnuts (Tony Sirico), and the rest of the crew constantly create new problems through greed, ego, or plain stupidity. Some conflicts explode into violence very quickly, while others sit quietly for years before turning ugly. What makes The Sopranos different is how ordinary so much of it feels in between those moments. One scene could involve murder or betrayal, and the next could simply be Tony arguing with his family over dinner. This develops its own level of tension from episode to episode across its impressive six-season run.
‘Better Call Saul’ (2015–2022)
I understand that this might be controversial… but sometimes, the spin-off does it better than the original. Before he becomes Saul Goodman, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) is a struggling lawyer trying to build a real career in Albuquerque. He takes small public defender jobs, looks after his older brother Chuck (Michael McKean), and keeps trying to prove that he belongs inside the same legal world that never fully trusts him. The relationship between Jimmy and Chuck becomes the center of the show very quickly because Jimmy genuinely wants his brother’s respect, even while he keeps cutting corners to get ahead.
At the same time, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) slowly gets pulled deeper into the cartel side of the story. His work with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) grows season by season until the legal world and the criminal world begin sitting directly beside each other. Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) also changes the story in a major way because she understands Jimmy better than almost anyone else and still keeps following him into situations she knows are dangerous. Watching Jimmy slowly become Saul works so well because the show never treats it like one sudden transformation. It happens piece by piece, and it’s completely mesmerizing. The deliberate pacing made Odenkirk’s performance genuinely something special.
‘Mindhunter’ (2017–2019)
Set during the late 1970s, Mindhunter follows FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) as they begin interviewing serial killers to understand how violent criminals think. At first, even the FBI does not fully believe the work matters. Most agents still focus only on solving individual cases, while Holden becomes obsessed with studying patterns behind the murders themselves. Very quickly, the interviews begin turning uncomfortable because the killers speak calmly about horrifying crimes as if they are discussing ordinary memories. The David Fincher thriller series that traces the origins of criminal profiling also stars Anna Torv, Cotter Smith, and Stacey Roca.
The show becomes especially tense whenever Holden starts getting too emotionally invested in the work. His conversations with Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton) slowly stop feeling like professional interviews and start resembling psychological games where Holden constantly pushes further than he should. At the same time, Bill’s family life becomes more strained as the subject matter begins following him home. The series is so gripping that many scenes involve nothing more than people sitting in a room talking, though the atmosphere still feels deeply unsettling almost the entire time. It’s a shame that Netflix put these series on an indefinite hold because Mindhunter was easily one of their best.

Britney Spears is sending multiple cryptic messages.
“If you’re one of those mean girls pointing and laughing and looking at your phone in the audience just look up today… River sends you guys a message!!!!!!!!” Spears, 44, captioned a Friday, May 29, Instagram post.
In a separate Instagram shared the same day, Spears filmed herself dancing in front of a pool with a body of water visible in the distance.
“When I moved out of the country for a while I changed my name for some reason and the mean girls stopped laughing!!!!! Damn I miss it there,” she wrote.
Britney Spears wants to put her DUI arrest in the rearview mirror. “Britney is embarrassed by all of the details and videos coming out from one of the most traumatic, regretful nights of her life,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She feels it’s cruel, especially after she went to rehab and put in the […]
It is unclear who the “mean girls” are Spears is referring to. In a third upload, Spears reflected on feeling “too much chatter” that’s “going on behind your back.”
“When you get that awkward, weird feeling you can actually start to feel perhaps too much chatter is going on behind your back… it actually effects [sic] people… I still send them love but most importantly…” she wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 26.
She continued, “I hope they feel my smile… the media has been a bit much in my opinion and I hope they can respect my unbelievable and miraculous spiritual journey… I’m so excited to embrace my journey and hope they stop showing embarrassing things from my past 🙄🙄🙄 I just bought the most adorable high heeled sandals 👡 for summer… its the little things you know… god bless.”
Spears’ posts come months after she was taken into police custody on March 4 after an anonymous caller reported that she had been “traveling at high speeds and swerving.” After her arrest, Spears was taken to a local hospital to get her blood drawn, which was registered under the legal limit.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” a spokesperson for Spears told Us Weekly in March. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
The next month, Spears was charged with driving under the influencer while in a treatment facility. She accepted a plea deal on May 4 and was sentenced to 12 months of probation and one daily in jail, which was credited with time served. She was also ordered to complete a DUI class and pay $571 in state-mandated fees and see a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month.
Actor Mark Hamill, best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the “Star Wars” franchise, is being put on blast by Jamie Kennedy after he shared an AI-generated photo of U.S. President Donald Trump in a grave. Although the actor apologized after facing backlash from the White House, many have voiced their disappointment in Hamill’s actions on social media.
In early May, the actor shared an AI-generated image on Bluesky that showed Trump lying in a shallow grave. The dates on the gravestone read 1946-2024.
Hamill captioned the post, “If Only — He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes.”
“Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore,” he added. White House Spokesman Davis Ingle responded to the post, calling him a “deranged lunatic,” as previously reported by The Blast.
“The Life of Chuck” actor then attempted to apologize, but it seemed tongue-in-cheek, as he shared his message alongside another photo of Trump with an outrageous hairstyle.
“Accurate Edit for Clarity: ‘He should live long enough to… be held accountable for his… crimes,’” he wrote. “Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate.”
The apology did little to quell the online firestorm, especially after Jamie Kennedy called him out for his comments.
Jamie Kennedy Says ‘Luke Skywalker Has Lost It’
In an episode of his podcast, “Hate To Break It To Ya”, Jamie Kennedy blasted Mark Hamill for posting the AI-generated image of Trump depicting him in a shallow grave.
“That is insane. That is brain rot gone beyond,” Kennedy said. “This is nuts. Luke Skywalker has lost it, dude. You’re like a big voice in the world, and you’re promoting that. Like, what is wrong with you?”
He went on to say, “You can call this guy whatever you want, but he’s the elected leader, so clearly he’s legally in, and he won, and he’s the elected leader,” Kennedy continued, calling Hamill’s post “irresponsible” and “evil.”
Has Mark Hamill Retired From ‘Star Wars’?
As most fans know, the character of Luke Skywalker met his end at the end of 2017’s “The Last Jedi.” At this time, it is unclear where the franchise is heading. The recently released film “The Mandalorian and Grogu” was set before the events of the sequel trilogy, during a time when Luke Skywalker was still alive. However, Hamill believes that the franchise should focus on new characters.
“I am so grateful to George for letting me be a part of that back in the day, the humble days when George called ‘Star Wars’ ‘the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,’” he told ComicBook in 2025. “We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my deal is, I had my time. I’m appreciative of that, but I think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.”
Mark Hamill Felt ‘Closure’ After His Character Died
The Skywalker Saga seemed to come to an end with 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker.” Luke Skywalker seemingly had no children. Leia Organa, the daughter of Darth Vader, had a son with Han Solo – Kylo Ren/Ben Solo – but he passed away at the end of the film. Although Rey called herself “Rey Skywalker” at the end of the movie and was determined to be the daughter of a clone of Palpatine, she is not a Skywalker by blood, and therefore, it seems that the bloodline has officially come to an end.
“My character was given complete closure,” Hamill said in an interview with TODAY, noting that the end of his story “felt like a conclusion.”
“I died… and once the Skywalker trilogy was over, it was a whole new era for them [Lucasfilm],” he added.
Still, the journey into a galaxy far, far away will continue with “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which is scheduled for a theatrical release in May 2027. The film stars an A-list cast consisting of Ryan Gosling, Mia Goth, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, and Amy Adams.
