Voice performers include Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, F. Murray Abraham, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Kit Harington.

Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, the film concludes the arc begun in the 2010 and 2014 installments, with John Powell returning to score. The narrative wraps the bond between rider and dragon while expanding the series’ worldbuilding and ensemble dynamics.

9. ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ (2022)

This DreamWorks Animation sequel follows Puss as he learns he’s down to his last life and sets out to find the mythical Wishing Star. Antonio Banderas returns as Puss, with Salma Hayek Pinault as Kitty Softpaws and Harvey Guillén as Perrito; additional voices include Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, John Mulaney, Wagner Moura, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.

Directed by Joel Crawford with Januel Mercado as co-director, the film’s screenplay is by Paul Fisher and Tommy Swerdlow from a story by Swerdlow and Tom Wheeler. Universal distributed the feature, which uses a stylized, painterly animation approach distinct from earlier ‘Shrek’ entries.

8. ‘Ghostbusters’ (1984)

Ivan Reitman directs this supernatural comedy about three parapsychologists who start a ghost-removal business in New York City. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the screenplay, with Bill Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver leading the cast, joined by Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts.

Backed by Columbia Pictures, the movie combined special-effects spectacle with character-driven humor and a memorable theme song, spawning sequels, reboots, animated series, and a broad transmedia footprint. Its core team—Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler—remains a cultural touchstone.

7. ‘Scary Movie’ (2000)

Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, this parody stitches together and spoofs late-’90s horror hits, particularly ‘Scream’ and ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer.’ The ensemble includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and others, with the script credited to the Wayans brothers alongside Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg, and Aaron Seltzer.

The film launched a long-running spoof franchise and became one of the highest-grossing comedies of its year. Its mix of slasher send-ups and pop-culture gags set the tone for early-2000s parody cinema and introduced recurring characters who returned in subsequent installments.

6. ‘Monster House’ (2006)

Gil Kenan’s directorial debut is an animated supernatural horror-comedy about three kids who discover a neighborhood house that’s literally alive and hostile. The screenplay is by Pamela Pettler, Dan Harmon, and Rob Schrab, expanding on a story by Harmon and Schrab; the film blends coming-of-age adventure with Halloween atmospherics.

Motion-capture performances support the animation style, with the production backed by executive producers including Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg through ImageMovers and Amblin. The movie became a mid-2000s favorite for younger viewers who like scares with their suburban mystery.

5. ‘Corpse Bride’ (2005)

Co-directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, this stop-motion Gothic fantasy follows Victor, who accidentally proposes to a deceased bride and is whisked to the Land of the Dead. Johnny Depp voices Victor and Helena Bonham Carter voices Emily, with Emily Watson, Tracey Ullman, and others rounding out the cast; Danny Elfman provides the music.

The screenplay is by John August, Caroline Thompson, and Pamela Pettler, based on characters by Burton and Carlos Grangel. Produced by Tim Burton Productions and Laika, the film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and is noted for its intricate puppet animation and brief, story-driven runtime.

4. ‘Scream’ (1996)

Wes Craven directs and Kevin Williamson writes this self-aware slasher set in Woodsboro, where high-schooler Sidney Prescott is targeted by the Ghostface killer. The ensemble features Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, and Drew Barrymore, with a score by Marco Beltrami.

Produced by Woods Entertainment and released by Dimension Films, the movie revitalized the horror genre with its meta approach and went on to spawn multiple sequels and spinoffs. Its characters and rules-of-horror dialogue became hallmarks of late-’90s cinema.

3. ‘The Grinch’ (2018)

Directed by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier, this Illumination animated adaptation retells Dr. Seuss’s holiday story with Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the Grinch and Pharrell Williams narrating. The voice cast includes Rashida Jones as Donna Who, Cameron Seely as Cindy-Lou Who, Kenan Thompson as Bricklebaum, and Angela Lansbury as Mayor McGerkle, with the screenplay by Michael LeSieur and Tommy Swerdlow.

Produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy for Illumination and distributed by Universal Pictures, the film follows the Grinch and his loyal dog Max as they plot to steal Christmas from Whoville while intersecting with Cindy-Lou’s plan to capture Santa. Danny Elfman composed the score, and the animation was completed at Illumination Mac Guff in Paris, with the movie released for the 2018 holiday season and becoming a major box-office success.

2. ‘M3GAN 2.0’ (2025)

Gerard Johnstone returns to direct the follow-up to the 2023 techno-thriller, continuing the story of roboticist Gemma and her AI companion amid new threats. The sequel features Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Jenna Davis (voice of M3GAN), and Amie Donald (physical performance), expanding the universe introduced in the original film.

Universal released the movie theatrically in June 2025, with Peacock set as its initial streaming home under the studio’s pay-window strategy before subsequent platform moves. Coverage notes the franchise’s pivot toward bigger set-pieces while maintaining continuity with returning characters.

1. ‘Honey Don’t!’ (2025)

Ethan Coen directs and co-writes this neo-noir dark-comedy about small-town private investigator Honey O’Donahue as she digs into a string of suspicious deaths linked to a mysterious church. The film premiered at Cannes in May 2025 and is positioned as the second entry in Coen and Tricia Cooke’s planned “lesbian B-movie trilogy.” Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Margaret Qualley, and Charlie Day lead the cast, with Carter Burwell composing.

Co-written and edited by Tricia Cooke, the feature is produced by Focus Features and Working Title. Marketing materials and festival notes highlight Qualley as Honey O’Donahue and Plaza as MG Falcone, with Evans as Reverend Drew Devlin; the project follows Coen and Cooke’s 2024 comedy caper ‘Drive-Away Dolls.’
