Love, Rosie (2014) A heartwarming rom-com about childhood friends Rosie Dunn (Lily Collins) and Alex Stewart (Sam Claflin). Their potential romance faces constant obstacles, from missed opportunities to life-changing decisions. Despite their seemingly perfect connection, timing and circumstances keep them apart.

Risky Business (1983) Tom Cruise's breakout role showcases him as Joel Goodsen, a Princeton-bound high school senior whose life spirals after a night with call girl Lana (Rebecca De Mornay). While his parents are away, Joel's decision triggers a series of events that threaten his future. The film features the iconic "Old Time Rock and Roll" dance scene and established Cruise as a leading man in Hollywood.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Denis Villeneuve's visually stunning sequel to the original Blade Runner follows Officer K (Ryan Gosling), a blade runner who uncovers a secret that could ignite a war between humans and replicants. His investigation leads him to former blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who might hold the key to preventing catastrophe. Initially divisive due to its length, the film has since been recognized as a masterpiece of modern science fiction.
These films offer something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for romance, coming-of-age drama, or thought-provoking sci-fi.
