They are forced to team up to locate the mythological Fountain of Youth after their historian father leaves them a series of cryptic clues. The journey takes them across various continents where they must outsmart rival treasure hunters and solve ancient puzzles. The film combines Ritchie’s signature fast-paced dialogue with high-stakes action sequences and supernatural intrigue.

‘The Gorge’ (2025)

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy star in this genre-bending thriller directed by Scott Derrickson. The plot follows two elite snipers stationed in watchtowers on opposite sides of a massive, classified gorge, tasked with containing a mysterious evil lurking within. Despite being forbidden from making contact, the two guards form a remote bond as they uncover the terrifying truth about their mission. The film blends elements of survival horror, romance, and action as the protagonists fight to protect the world from an unseen threat.

‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (2025)

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunite for this tense crime thriller, which serves as a modern reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s ‘High and Low’. Washington plays a powerful music mogul in New York City who faces a moral crisis when he becomes the target of a kidnapping extortion plot. The situation complicates when he discovers the kidnappers have mistakenly taken his chauffeur’s child instead of his own, yet still demand the ransom. The narrative delivers a searing critique of class dynamics while maintaining the suspense of a high-stakes police procedural.

‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ (2025)

The Jim Henson Company returns with a new holiday special that celebrates the magic of the winter season in the underground world of the Fraggles. Gobo Fraggle journeys into Outer Space to find inspiration for a special song when the first snowfall doesn’t go as planned. Meanwhile, the Gorgs prepare for the arrival of a baby, adding chaos and comedy to the festive proceedings. This family-friendly release emphasizes themes of community, tradition, and finding joy in unexpected places.

‘The Lost Bus’ (2025)

Based on the devastating Camp Fire of 2018, this survival drama is directed by Paul Greengrass and stars Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. McConaughey plays a school bus driver who, along with a dedicated teacher, navigates a bus full of children through a deadly wildfire in Paradise, California. The film offers a harrowing, minute-by-minute account of their escape as they maneuver through flames and panic. It serves as both a tense disaster movie and a tribute to the real-life heroism displayed during the tragedy.

‘The Family Plan’ (2023)

Mark Wahlberg stars as Dan Morgan, a suburban dad and car salesman who is secretly a retired government assassin. When his past catches up to him, he packs his unsuspecting wife and children into a minivan for an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas. The film mixes domestic comedy with action set pieces as Dan tries to neutralize threats without alerting his family to his violent skills. It remains a popular choice on the platform for its blend of humor and family-centric adventure.

‘Spirited’ (2022)

Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell lead this musical comedy retelling of Charles Dickens’s classic ‘A Christmas Carol’. Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Present, who selects a specifically unredeemable media consultant, played by Reynolds, as his target for the year. The film flips the traditional script by having the “Scrooge” figure examine the ghost’s past, leading to a humorous and heartfelt introspection for both characters. Elaborate musical numbers and tap-dancing sequences distinguish this modern holiday favorite.

‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ (1965)

This timeless animated special continues to resonate with audiences decades after its initial release. Charlie Brown finds himself depressed by the commercialism of the holiday season and seeks a deeper meaning by directing the school Christmas play. The story culminates in his selection of a meager, drooping tree and Linus’s poignant recitation of the nativity story. It remains a definitive piece of holiday viewing, celebrated for its jazz score by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and its sincere message.

‘The Family Plan 2’ (2025)

Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan return in this action-packed sequel that takes the Morgan family to Europe for the holidays. Their attempt at a peaceful Christmas vacation is interrupted when a mysterious figure from Dan’s past, played by Kit Harington, emerges with unfinished business. The narrative escalates into a series of heists and chases across scenic European locations as the family is forced to work together once again. This new installment ramps up the stakes while maintaining the comedic family dynamic established in the first film.
