Mastermind
This comedy stars SNL favorites like Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon. It’s a funny, plot-twist-filled story based on a true story about the Loomis Fargo $18 million robbery. This story follows the aftermath of one of the biggest robberies in US history.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
This is a classic that many have seen but rewatching it is just as funny. Follow Ferris as he attempts to skip school despite his sister and teachers pitted against him, trying to expose his antics to his parents.
Remember the Titans
Last but not least, for you sports fans out there, Remember the Titans is a heartfelt, feel-good movie.
