A fungus turns people into zombies.
Slow. While it has potential it really doesn’t work out, especially because it stops making sense nearing the ending.
Based on The Girl with All the Gifts – (2014 book), by Mike Carey

In a future where limiting words somehow makes people happy, some are still enthralled by contraband media.
Moody and good; recommended. It has more literary references than any three years worth of movies.
Inspired by Fahrenheit 451 – (1953 book), by Ray Bradbury

Humanity gets its ass kicked by alien invaders and begins a new generation of fighters, including a special forces unit.
It’s a big ball of youth-friendly “meh”.

A boy skips school, is assaulted by bullies then hides from them in a bookstore which he robs, then hides out in his school’s attic to read.
An extraordinarily powerful movie.
There’s a certain feeling with movies in the 1980’s which were positioned for children but had unashamedly-adult themes running through them. The Neverending Story has, at its core, themes of literacy, imagination, will, loss, hope and determination.
Originally titled Die unendliche Geschichte

Soon to enter into a loveless marriage with the king, a common woman’s only hope lies in a daring rescue attempt.
A classic movie of fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love and miracles. This is a kid-friendly movie in the sense that the 80s didn’t have kids who were complete pussies. There is hatred, danger, death and blood, and yes proper torture, and this is a fine family-friendly film.
The only flaw in this movie is the grandfather-narrator, who is terribly overdone to the point of distraction.
Based on The Princess Bride – (1973 book), by William Goldman.
