Lady Bird was chosen by the National Board of Review, the American Film Institute, and Time magazine as one of the ten best films of the year

Get Him To the Greek
Get Him to the Greek is a 2010 American comedy film written, produced and directed by Nicholas Stoller. Ambitious record company exec Aaron (Jonah Hill) is assigned the seemingly easy task of escorting British rockstar Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to L.A.’s Greek Theatre for a show.

Just Friends
This is one of the funniest movies of all time on Netflix. Just Friends is a 2005 American Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Roger Kumble, written by Adam ‘Tex’ Davis.
Just Friends is a terrific showcase for Reynolds’ skills, as the dichotomy between his impossibly good looks and goofy comedic sensibility is put to good use as he plays a formerly chubby, sensitive-type who is now a trim, successful music producer. Anna Faris also turns in phenomenal work here as a play on a Britney Spears-esque pop star, and she and Reynolds have fantastic chemistry. The story is a pretty standard “home for the holidays” type deal—Reynolds’ character gets unexpectedly stranded in his hometown with Faris in tow, and is forced to confront his former BFF who is also the girl he was in love with in high school.
Tootsie
Tootsie is a 1982 American romantic comedy film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Dustin Hoffman. Dustin Hoffman then decides to impersonate a woman to get a role, and his alter ego “Dorothy Michaels” lands a role on a popular daytime soap. Navigating the world as a woman leads Hoffman’s character on a journey of self-discovery, and a perfect tonal balance of comedy and drama ensues. The film earned Jessica Lange an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
