The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended Edition
While Jackson’s extended editions are usually the “go to” choice when choosing on film editions, The extended edition of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies can’t help the film from being just a 164-minute coda to a trilogy that was already complete.

Trainwreck
Trainwreck is a decent entry into the family of Judd Apatow comedies, and while the film does not really have rewatchability, it is a film with a lot of heart and showcases Amy Schumer’s acting skills.
The Goonies
1985 - the year the first cell phone call was made and compact disc’s first showed up on the high street and anyone who was anyone tried the “truffle shuffle”, which means the timeless “cult” classic that is The Goonies is 30 years old!
Inside Out
For the most part, the story works. Docter's vision of the inner workings of a child's mind is engaging, colorful, and informative, and, as with most Pixar films, tries to convey a valuable life lesson to viewers, not just putting color and fanciful stuff on screen to just look pretty.
Vacation
Had it been done well, the return visit to the Griswold family and Wally World would have been a nice stroll down memory lane while making the franchise fresh.
Paper Towns
Unlike some other coming of age films, Paper Towns is fairly well done with intricacies and nuances not always developed in these types of films.
Max
Besides the film’s furry stars, and the message about our veterans (of all kinds), the movie doesn’t offer much in the way of entertainment or believability.
Edward Scissorhands
It's difficult to believe this film premiered 25 years ago, but this anniversary edition allows older audiences to introduce a new generation to the gentle, childlike Scissorhands while teaching a lesson on accepting those who are different.
The Following: The Complete Third Season
The Following was a brilliant and addictive series! Season one will still be my favorite and from there it went a bit downhill….just not so dramatically until episode 40!
Home Alone Ultimate Collector's Edition
For anyone who enjoyed the series and wants a little bit of holiday nostalgia, this paint can is a terrific way to relive it all. For the formidable collector, it would be a welcome addition and a perfect holiday gift.
