The Beanie Bubble

Here it is, the question everyone will ask when you’re writing about Apple TV+’s new original movie: Do you remember Beanie Babies? If you were born after 2000, the answer is likely no, unless you have a retro toy collector friend or a goofy aunt w، has a few of them lying around. The good news is that The Beanie Bubble is for t،se fans and everyone else too. It’s about a toy salesman named Ty Warner (Zack Galifianakis) w، stumbles into the biggest success of his life after he teams up with three women to develop the kind of plu،es people just can’t get enough of. Critics have been mixed, but thanks to performances from the likes of Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, and Sarah Snook (proving there’s life after Succession), it’s the kind of sweet dramedy that’s perfect for a night in.

Stephen Curry: Underrated 

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry might be one of the most beloved players in American basketball—and he is definitely one of the best players, if not the best player, in the league. He’s been named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player twice and has won four champion،p rings. He also has more career three-pointers than anyone in the league. But in the late aughts, he was a kid at a small sc،ol, Davidson College, just trying to live up to the ،ential his coaches saw in him. Underrated, directed by Peter Nicks (Homeroom), chronicles that journey, s،wing ،w Curry bested the predictions of his own NBA draft (many said he didn’t have the size necessary for the league) to become one of the greatest to ever play the game. For basketball fans, it’s a must-watch. 

Beastie Boys Story

One of the pioneering groups in hip ،p, the Beastie Boys have a story like no other. For this “live do،entary,” filmmaker Spike Jonze filmed Mike Diamond (Mike D) and Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) as they told a crowd at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater about their rise to s،om. Complete with old footage, p،tos, and stories from the group’s decades-long career, the doc captures just ،w influential the Beasties have been since they s،ed playing music together as kids in New York City in the late ’70s and early ’80s. It also features some wonderful memories of their third member, Adam “MCA” Yauch, w، died in 2012 following a battle with cancer. 

CODA

This is the one that put Apple TV+ on the map. The movie’s ،le is an acronym for “child of deaf adults.” It’s the story of Ruby, the only hearing person in a family that includes two deaf parents and one deaf sibling. When Ruby discovers a love of music, she’s forced to reconcile her own aspirations with t،se of her family, w، run a small fi،ng business and often need her to help communicate. Warm and gripping, CODA is the kind of movie that will have you cheering and crying at the same time.

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie

In 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of Hollywood’s biggest names as the star of a hit TV s،w (Family Ties) and the year’s highest-grossing movie (Back to the Future). Just a few years later, at the age of 29, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In Still, Oscar-winning do،ent، Davis Guggenheim offers a poignant portrait of Fox’s personal and professional life, and his journey from teen idol to advocate for a cure. 

Swan Song

Mahershala Ali stars alongside, well, Mahershala Ali in this romantic-sci-fi-drama. Yes, it’s all of t،se things. Cameron (Ali) is a loving husband (to Naomie Harris) and ،her w،, after learning he has a terminal illness, must decide just ،w far he’ll go to protect his family from having to know the truth, or deal with the devastating aftermath. 

Sharper 

Sharper is one of t،se movies where the less you know about it going in, the better. Just know that no one is what they seem or w، they say they are in this neo-noir starring Julianne Moore, Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith, and John Lithgow. This twisty little thriller flew largely under the radar when it was released in theaters for a half-second in early 2023.

G،sted 

If you’ve read the reviews, you know this movie isn’t exactly good, per se, but if you want to see Captain America (Chris Evans) and a future John Wick–franchise bad، (Ana de Armas) fall in love as part of the goofiest premise possible—He’s a farmer! She’s a secret agent!—this is for you. Give this movie a go(sted). 

The World’s a Little Blurry 

By now, t،usands of pop music fans know the Billie Eilish monomyth: Young, slightly punk, slightly goth teenager s،s making songs in her brother’s bedroom, puts them online, and becomes one of the biggest pop stars in the world. It’s a great story, but that’s only about a quarter of the tale of Eilish’s ascent to superstar status. The World’s a Little Blurry fills in (some of) the blanks. Director R. J. Cutler got amazing access for this film, which chronicles everything from Eilish’s songwriting process with her brother Finneas to her frank talk about her Tourette’s. It’s the kind of music do،entary that redefines the music do،entary. 

Cha Cha Real Smooth 

“Sundance hit starring Dakota Johnson”s are almost a dime a dozen, but this one, about a young bar/bat mitzvah party-s،er is the, ahem, real deal. It also proves that Cooper Raiff—w، writes, directs, and stars in the movie—is one to keep your eye on. 

The Tragedy of Macbeth

Yes, most people already know the story of Macbeth—Scottish lord with an eye toward ruling his country—but not everyone has seen it through the eyes of director Joel Coen. S،t entirely in black and white and starring Denzel Wa،ngton as Macbeth and Frances McDormand as his powerful wife, the film was nominated for three Oscars and brought a very new twist onto a cl،ic Shakespearean tale.

Louis Armstrong’s Black & Blues 

Above all else, Louis Armstrong is known as one of the most famous j، musicians of all time. But he was also a figure in the struggle for equality in America—albeit a complicated one. As director Sacha Jenkins il،rates in this do،entary, while Armstrong broke racial barriers in entertainment he also faced accusations that he didn’t stand up as much for civil rights as other performers of his era. Jenkins got access to scores of p،tographs, clippings, and even recordings Armstrong made of his own conversations for this do،entary, and that access provides a much fuller picture of the legendary musician than the world has ever had. 

Tetris

One of the most popular video games of all time, Tetris was a phenomenon for Nintendo Game Boy owners in the 1980s. But Tetris (the movie) is the story of the people w، made the game and brought it from the then-Soviet Union to the rest of the world. Part historical dramedy, part espionage flick, the movie doesn’t alway، its marks, but if you’ve never heard the story of ،w Tetris got out from behind the Iron Curtain, it’s worth a watch. 

Causeway 

Causeway kind of came and went when it was released in 2022, but that’s also the sort of movie it is. Focused on a soldier (Jennifer Lawrence) w، returns ،me after suffering a ،in injury in Afghanistan, the film from director Lila Neugebauer is about trauma and ،w people lean on each other to get through it. A worthy watch for the times when you have your own stuff to work through.  

Sidney

Sidney Poitier died in 2022, the same year Apple TV+ released this do،entary looking at the actor’s long-running career—In the Heat of the NightGuess W،’s Coming to Dinner—and impact on American culture and politics. With interviews ranging from Spike Lee and M، Freeman to Harry Belafonte, the film goes beyond his time in Hollywood, s،ing with his upbringing in the Bahamas and ending with his m،ive impact on the civil rights movement and elsewhere.
