It’s an all-star lineup, and they’ve got something similar planned for the sequel. And just as a final flex, the casting director secured Pennywise’s favorite victim, Jaeden Martell, and the legendary Christopher Plummer, may he rest in peace. LaKeith Stanfield is here without his straw hat from Get Out, and so is 13 Reasons Why’s ghostly Katherine Langford. Lime enthusiast Dakota Johnson’s dad, Don, is here, and so is perhaps the greatest living actor, Toni Collette. Halloween badass/ yogurt guru Jamie Lee Curtis is a suspect, as is two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon. America’s ass Chris Evans is there in a beautiful cable-knit sweater. We’ve got James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, and his future Bond girl/Ben Affleck’s former coffee-walks partner, Ana de Armas. I know that listing actors is boring, but just go with me here. Rian Johnson’s mystery (so well written, its screenplay landed an Oscar nom) focuses on the death of Harlan Thrombey, a famous novelist, and the family desperate to scoop up his inheritance. You’ve got to love a classic whodunit, especially with an ensemble cast that's the caliber of this one. Honestly, I have no idea how this fever dream of a film got made, but I’ve watched it several times, and I will watch it again. And yet SOMEHOW, Sandler convinced Al Pacino to play himself in this film as the third-billed actor, AND convinced him to fall in love with Jill! Insane. It’s stuffed to bursting with product placement (Dunkin' Donuts, anyone?), Sandler is bouncing off the walls as Jill, and the writing often borders on nonsensical. Send this film to the 2019 Met Gala! Adam Sandler (whose recent Hubie Halloween is also a winner) plays both Jack and Jill, fraternal twins, in this truly bonkers affair. But those reviewers were not watching this as the masterpiece of camp that it is.

Did it win every single Razzie the year it came out? Yes. Sure, theres a lot of death in this 1985 cult classic, but we dare you to get through Clue without smiling.

Bold, shocking and sexually charged, The Prince should interest anyone that is–or has ever met–a man.I will not be reading the comments for this article, because I KNOW you all are going to rake me over the coals for this one, but this is actually an incredible film. Juan Carlos Maldonato, as Jamie, gives a fearless performance, and the plot has some very interesting twists to provoke thought as to the film’s ultimate message. Rather, the film meditates on the contradictions of masculinity–obsession over genital size, number of sexual partners, the constant need for body contact with other men, and how all of those qualities also have innate homoeroticism. We’re guessing that’s why Amazon banned it. At one point, several of the actors even appear to get aroused on camera.

That includes lots of man-on-man sex and full frontal nudity so graphic the movie skirts the edge of pornography.
From there The Prince goes on to follow Jamie’s coming of age, and examine some very strange contradictions in the ultra-macho–and very homoerotic–world of masculine identity. Upon his arrival, he immediately becomes the bottom for a prison crime lord of sorts. The Prince tells the story of Jamie, a young gay man sent to prison in Chile in the 1970s. Whatever it says, this excellent Chilean film ended up on a list of banned titles by Amazon the first week of its release.
