In case its branding mascot and rainbow palette weren't a dead giveaway, Peacock is the streaming service owned and operated by NBCUniversal, which means it has access to a trove of titles that draw from Universal Studios' deep well of content.

But what does that mean for you? Well, alongside its TV series and live sports offerings, Peacock features classic movies such as *Night of the Living Dead *(1968) and *Black Christmas* (1974) alongside contemporary favorites like *Nope* (2022) and *The Phoenician Scheme* (2025). As with any streamer, its wealth of options can feel overwhelming, so allow EW to point you in the right direction.

Here are the 19 best movies on Peacock right now.

The Bad Guys (2022)

Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, *The Bad Guys* is essentially a melding of *Zootopia* and *Ocean's Eleven*. The dazzling heist comedy tells the story of a group of animal criminals that are finally caught and given the chance to reform themselves. While most of the gang is only pretending to go the straight and narrow, their leader, Mr. Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell), finds himself genuinely inspired to become better. The DreamWorks film features a stunning blend of 2-D and 3-D animation in the style of 2018's *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*, giving it that kinetic comic-book feel. —*Kevin Jacobsen***** Where to watch *The Bad Guys*: Peacock

Black Christmas (1974)

This slasher classic still holds up as one of the most chilling horror films of all time. A group of sorority sisters' good tidings of comfort and joy are interrupted by repeated profane phone calls, leading to one of them being murdered in the attic. This kicks off a horrifying series of events as they try in vain to get the police to determine the source of the call while they are picked off one by one. There have been two attempts at remaking *Black Christmas* in the 21st century, but neither has approached the level of paranoia and dread of the '70s original. —*K.J.*

Bridget Jones is back for one last hurrah, with this decidedly more poignant, Emmy-nominated final installment in the franchise. Renée Zellweger reprises her role as the titular plucky TV producer, who is now the mother of two children and mourning the unexpected death of her husband, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Finally ready to start dating again, she enters into a romance with a younger man (Leo Woodall) while also finding herself drawn to one of her son's teachers (Chiwetel Ejiofor). *Mad About the Boy* is much more mature compared to its predecessors, though it retains much of the series' cheeky humor and Zellweger's performance remains a highlight. —*K.J.*

Drag Me to Hell (2009)

After a five-year stint helming the original *Spider-Man* trilogy, Sam Raimi returned to his horror roots with this devilishly fun supernatural thriller. Alison Lohman stars as Christine, an ambitious bank loan officer who denies an extension on a mortgage requested by an elderly woman, who then puts a curse on her. As Christine comes to find out, the curse involves three days of torment before being dragged to Hell — literally. After trying to find solutions, she comes to realize the kind of sacrifice she must make to lift the curse.

EW's critic called *Drag Me to Hell* "a deftly unified freak show that keeps intensifying as its wormy-devil images keep spewing." While the film wasn't as big of a box office performer as some were expecting, critics were effusive in their praise. "Going back to his roots," writes EW's critic, "Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years." —*K.J.*

Dunkirk (2017)

While most war films center on traditional battles and heart-wrenching, character-driven moments, Christopher Nolan's *Dunkirk* is focused on showing the brutal impact of war on the many rather than the few. The film follows the titular evacuation during World War II, deftly split up into one week of action by land, one day by sea, and one hour by air. As we bounce between the three perspectives, we get a visceral picture of the horrors and uncertainties that these men (boys, really) faced at this pivotal point in European — and world — history. The film earned Nolan some of the best reviews of his career, with EW's critic praising it as "a full-body sensory experience that sweeps you up in its thrall and places you directly into the fog of war." —*K.J.*

Emma. (2020)

Jane Austen's Regency era social commentaries continue to find new life centuries later through movie and television adaptations. While some filmmakers remain as faithful as possible to her text, others adopt a more modern approach, utilizing the conventions of contemporary trends. Autumn de Wilde falls into the latter camp, giving her version of the tale of clever matchmaker Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) a self-aware irony. EW's critic praises de Wilde's "sweet alchemy of bringing together something old and something new — as serenely breezy to the end as her beloved heroine." —*K.J.***

Michael Moore, known for his award-winning documentaries *Roger & Me* (1989) and *Bowling for Columbine* (2002), delivered another cinematic juggernaut with this audacious and controversial documentary. *Fahrenheit 9/11* — crowned with the Palme d'Or and holding the title of America's highest-grossing documentary — fearlessly scrutinizes the Bush administration's exploitation of post-9/11 paranoia to advance unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq instead of seeking the terrorist attack's true perpetrators.

As EW's critic notes, "*Fahrenheit 9/11* offers a catharsis for the audience. Dazzlingly assembled, at once reckless and insightful, the movie filters the actions of the Bush administration through a nose-thumbing outrage that might have been irresponsible if Moore's own words weren't girded by images that spoke 1,000 more." *—James Mercadante*

Few movies have ever rivaled the level of wonder and magic evoked when Laura Dern's Ellie Sattler witnesses a dinosaur as John Williams' majestic score swells in *Jurassic Park*. Steven Spielberg's iconic blockbuster about a trio of scientists who investigate an island on which a business magnate has created a theme park of cloned dinosaurs will simply never be topped — no matter how many sequels Hollywood tries to spawn. After all, as Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) quips in the film, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." The 1993 original is thrilling, fear-inducing, and altogether entertaining thanks in part to the then-innovative visual effects that still hold up today. —*K.J.*

M3GAN (2022)

This campy sci-fi spooker doesn't take itself too seriously, even if the titular doll is a serious threat to those who cross her owner. After robotics expert Gemma (Allison Williams) develops an artificial intelligence-powered doll named M3GAN for her grieving niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), the dangerously smart humanoid starts to exhibit possessive qualities. And God forbid anyone who poses even a minor threat to Cady. EW's critic calls *M3GAN* "a scampering Blumhouse caper that turns out to be blithely self-aware, negligibly jump-scary, and mostly very fun," and audiences seemed to agree — the film grossed nearly $100 million at the U.S. box office. —*K.J.*

Memento (2001)

*Memento* was Christopher Nolan's first mainstream foray into noodling with notions of time. Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man who suffers from amnesia following the murder of his wife. Seeking justice, Leonard tries to make sense of his life while his failing short-term memory prompts him to tattoo important information on his body and take photographs with a Polaroid camera.**** The film cleverly uses both chronological and non-linear editing interchangeably, putting the viewer in the protagonist's mind as we try to put together an elaborate puzzle. "*Memento* has a spooky repetitive urgency that takes on the clarity of a dream," writes EW's critic. "It's like an Oliver Sacks case study played as malevolent film noir." —*K.J.*

Comedies aimed at older audiences can sometimes feel cheap and condescending these days. Not so with this unabashedly sweet dramedy about a London cleaner named Ada Harris (Lesley Manville). A widow, she receives a pension that gives her the means to travel to Paris in the hope of purchasing a Dior dress, though she struggles to fit in with the snobbish world of haute couture upon her arrival. Manville gives a lovely, multifaceted performance (which earned her a Golden Globe nomination) as a woman pursuing her desires, even with the odds stacked against her. —*K.J.***

With a budget just over $100,000, George Romero's indie horror masterpiece transformed the zombie genre, reshaping these once-subjugated creatures into autonomous, flesh-craving fiends while forever etching them into pop culture (and paving the way for future undead favorites like *The Walking Dead*). Revolving around a group of unlikely survivors holed up in an abandoned farmhouse, this film unravels as they fend off an onslaught of ravenous ghouls storming the area. *Night of the Living Dead* didn't just make cinematic history; it gnawed its way into the collective consciousness, birthing a thriving franchise with five sequels from 1978 to 2009, which all carry Romero's iconic directorial touch. *—J.M.*

Jordan Peele's brand of sharp, socially minded horror is filtered through a sci-fi lens in his gripping third feature. *Nope* follows the Haywood siblings — O.J. (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) — who own a ranch in Hollywood that is one day visited by a mysterious entity from the sky. A series of twists and turns unfold from there, but suffice it to say, Peele's mind for both spectacle and substance is on full display. As EW's critic observes, "it's clear he's absorbed a lifetime of *Close Encounters* lore, and much darker visitations too." —*K.J.***

The Northman (2022)

After undergoing months of brutal training set to '80s Italo music, Alexander Skarsgård sculpted himself into a colossal and wrathful Viking warrior prince in Robert Eggers' adaptation of the Norse legend that inspired Shakespeare's *Hamlet* (and, much later, *The Lion King*). In a less Disney-esque twist, Prince Almeth receives a sobering message from a Seeress — played by Icelandic pop icon Björk in her return to acting after a two-decade hiatus — who urges him to fulfill his oath of vengeance against his uncle, the culprit behind his father's death and his mother's abduction.

A visually dazzling spectacle, *The Northman* is described by EW's critic as "Eggers' biggest film in both scope and budget," and "a sprawling summit-of-the-gods epic shot through with rich, hallucinatory set pieces, and movie stars in wild Pagan wiggery." —*J.M.*

Wes Anderson's playful new comedy, *The Phoenician Scheme*, centers on a business magnate (Benicio Del Toro) who hopes to bequeath his estate to his nun daughter (Mia Threapleton). But first, he hopes to cement his legacy with a world-spanning scheme, while trying to assuage angry investors and dodge assassination attempts. Like many of Anderson's films, *The Phoenician Scheme* features an all-star cast including Del Toro, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Bryan Cranston. But the main attraction is Anderson himself, whose unique visual palette, intentionally stilted dialogue, and wry comic wit are on full display here. —*K.J.*

Point Break (1991)

*Point Break* is an early-'90s film through and through, a cops and robbers crime drama with some of the hottest actors of the era that's also a lot about surfing. Keanu Reeves stars as the brilliantly named Johnny Utah, a detective tasked with going undercover to bust a group of surf-loving bank robbers. But, as Johnny immerses himself in that particular subculture, he finds himself curiously drawn to it, particularly because of the group's charismatic leader, Bodhi (Patrick Swayze).**** Critics were mixed at the time (EW's own gave it a C+), but, as time has passed, we've come to appreciate its earnest sensibilities and director Kathryn Bigelow's thoughtful examination of male friendships, while still delivering as traditional popcorn entertainment. —*K.J.*

Once upon a time, in a swamp far, far away, Mike Myers graced us by voicing DreamWorks' misanthropic ogre. He was living the dream, basking in the solitude of his boggy sanctuary, until a horde of storybook creatures — a talking donkey, three little pigs, seven dwarves, and more — decide to crash the party after being ousted from the kingdom by Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). To reclaim his peace and quiet, Shrek must rescue a certain red-haired princess, all for the sake of Farquaad's romantic fantasies. A fairy tale that brims with unexpected friendships, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough layers to rival an onion, *Shrek* is an animated delight you just can't ogre-look. —*J.M.***** Where to watch *Shrek*: Peacock******EW grade:** A–******Directors:** Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson******Cast:** Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow, Vincent Cassel, Conrad Vernon**

In this charming, old-fashioned caper, Paul Newman and Robert Redford, who previously worked together on 1969's *Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid*, play grifters who try to get one over on a crime boss who killed one of their partners. A complex long con is set in motion as they assemble a savvy group of men to help pull off the scheme — each with their own motives.

The film ultimately received 10 Oscar nominations, winning seven, including Best Picture. Redford recalled to EW in 2018, "[Director] George Roy Hill loved reading the funny papers. He loved the idea of telling a story in four or five panels, so he was able to take the somewhat flawed script, shift a few things around, and turn it into something damn near perfect." —*K.J.*

*Tár* is a psychological drama so well written that it convinced some viewers its protagonist was real. The spellbinding film centers on Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), a celebrated conductor and instructor whose life unravels after damning allegations come out regarding her misbehavior with students. Writer-director Todd Field skillfully explores complex themes, from power dynamics to cancel culture and the generational divide, without ever feeling heavy-handed. The film earned widespread acclaim from critics (including EW's own), and received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Blanchett's towering performance. —*K.J.*

Originally launched (to some skepticism) as CBS All Access in 2014, it's safe to say that Paramount+ was ahead of its time. It was, in fact, the first over-the-top service from an American broadcaster. In 2021, during the pandemic theatrical shakeup, Paramount+ rebranded and made a name for itself with an admirable library of films on top of its television offerings.

Picking only 20 of the best movies on Paramount+ was no easy task, but we at EW tried our best. Join us as we run through the list.

Arrival (2016)

What if, instead of jumping into fight or flight mode with aliens, we made an effort to understand what they wanted from us? This is the central tenet of *Arrival*, Denis Villeneuve's cerebral yet emotional adaptation of Ted Chiang's short story, "Story of Your Life." The film follows Louise Banks (Amy Adams, in one of her very best performances), a linguist attempting to communicate with extraterrestrial lifeforms who don't seem hostile but also don't announce their intentions to Earth's inhabitants. Parallel to this, we see glimpses of Louise's life with her daughter, which eventually reveal a poignant connection to her life's work in a moment of profound revelation.****EW's critic praised the film for its artful storytelling within the realm of science fiction, noting, "It's far less interested in galactic destiny than the infinite, uncharted landscape of the human heart." —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Sometimes, a filmmaker takes a big swing and it just doesn't connect. *Better Man* is one of those rare cases where its gimmick is part of its unique charm, telling the story of British pop star Robbie Williams, who is portrayed in the film as an anthropomorphic chimpanzee. While the beats of Williams' story will be familiar to anyone who's seen other music biopics, director Michael Gracey brings impressive visual flair and stages his musical sequences with precision ("Rock DJ" being his magnum opus).

Williams, who narrates the film, also allows himself to be portrayed in a sometimes unflattering light. As such, EW's critic praises *Better Man* as "refreshingly honest for a musical biopic that has the involvement of its subject." —*K.J.*

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. As the unstable Alex Forrest, Glenn Close became one of the all-time great movie antagonists with this iconic erotic thriller. When Alex meets Dan (Michael Douglas) at a business function, there is a charge between them that blossoms into a passionate affair. The problem is, Dan is married and has a kid, and after he coldly tries to end the affair, Alex retaliates with a series of increasingly dangerous actions. What sets *Fatal Attraction* above the many erotic thrillers released in the '80s and '90s is how Close brings humanity to Alex, with an undercurrent of loneliness that prevents her from becoming a two-dimensional villain. —*K.J.*

A murderer's row of acting talent — Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, and Bette Midler — team up to exact revenge on their ex-husbands who have "upgraded" to younger models. A revenge–cum–wish fulfillment fantasy, Hugh Wilson's breezy friend-com is both pleasantly spiky and reassuringly warm. "As long as Hawn and her cronies are skewering male insensitivity with that sort of filed-talon wit," EW's critic quips, "*The First Wives Club* whisks us along." —*Declan Gallagher*

Ridley Scott's long-in-development sequel to his Best Picture winner features a mostly new cast of characters, with Paul Mescal starring as Hanno, a prisoner of war who shows great promise as a gladiator and fights on behalf of the scheming Macrinus (Denzel Washington). Hanno soon discovers his true identity and a battle for the fate of Rome escalates further.

A film that hardly needs introduction, *The Godfather* is one of the seminal classics of cinematic history, launching a three-part saga about family, legacy, and the American dream. It follows the powerful Corleone family, from aging mob boss Vito (Marlon Brando) to the son looking to succeed him, Michael (Al Pacino). After an assassination attempt against his father, Michael seeks to prove his worth and plots revenge against those who ordered the hit. Sweeping and absorbing even all these years later, *The Godfather* is a Shakespearean epic for modern times, rightfully earning the Oscar for Best Picture and inspiring filmmakers for generations to come. —*K.J.*

Heat (1995)

Notable for being the first onscreen partnership of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, this crime epic had a lot of, well, heat, ahead of its 1995 release, and it more than lived up to expectations. The film centers on experienced thief Neil McCauley (De Niro) whose various heists are detected by LAPD cop Vincent Hanna (Pacino). As McCauley continues to chase the high of a well-orchestrated theft, Hanna loves the pursuit, leading to an iconic scene of the two of them calling a brief truce over some coffee at a diner, where they learn they're more alike than they thought.

"You can feel their joy in performing," EW's critic writes of the scene. "We're not watching McCauley and Hanna anymore; we're watching De Niro and Pacino trying to out-insinuate each other." —*K.J.*

A musical update of Mark Waters' seminal high school comedy — following new girl Cady getting inducted into a group of queen bees headed by the ruthless Regina George — is now streaming on Paramount+. But there's no better time to revisit the original, which has only gotten funnier with age. It's both laugh-out-loud entertaining and a thoughtful exploration of teenage behavior. As EW's critic wrote in 2004 of the Tina Fey-penned comedy, "The movie — a vinegary fable with a Splenda aftertaste — is a harbinger of hope not only for future feminist comedies of any grit but also for *SNL*-staffed feature films that don't disproportionately suck." *—D.G.*

Nearly every *Mission: Impossible* movie is available to stream on Paramount+, but this sixth entry in the film franchise is arguably the best one yet. *Fallout* centers on IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in his quest to stop an expected nuclear attack from a terrorist group. He and his team are joined by CIA assassin August Walker (Henry Cavill) to recover plutonium cores on a mission that proves decidedly more difficult than Hunt could ever imagine. Packed with dazzling set pieces and genuinely shocking twists, EW's critic praises the film as "the kind of pure, straight-no-chaser pop fun that not only keeps taking your breath away over and over again, it restores your occasionally shaky faith in summer blockbusters." —*K.J.*

Pamela Anderson as Beth Davenport and Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. in 'The Naked Gun'

We highly recommend taking a chair (no, not literally) and watching Liam Neeson in his silliest role to date. The action star lends his tough-guy persona to this hilarious legacy sequel to the classic spoof series of films from the '80s and '90s, playing Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., a hapless police officer who investigates a stolen gismo known as the P.L.O.T. Device (get it?). Enter the glamorous novelist Beth Davenport (Pamela Anderson), who hopes to seek justice for her murdered brother and teams up with Frank to take down the man she deems responsible. For those missing the laugh-a-minute comedies of yesteryear, *The Naked Gun* is an endearingly goofy oasis in the desert. —*K.J.***

Where to watch *The Naked Gun*: Paramount+

**Director:** Akiva Schaffer

**Cast:** Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston

A Quiet Place (2018)

Not advised for those easily startled, *A Quiet Place* became an instant horror favorite upon its 2018 release. Predatory alien creatures with hypersensitive hearing have overrun Earth, and any sound can be a death sentence for humans. John Krasinski does triple duty as director, co-writer, and star, playing a man living in this postapocalyptic world with his family, who are trying to survive and find a way to fight back. The gripping tension inherent in its premise would be enough to cause anxiety in viewers, but Krasinski proves adept at deploying maximum terror when you're least expecting it. As EW's critic writes, "When *A Quiet Place* has one finger on the panic button and the other on mute, it's a nervy, terrifying thrill." —*K.J.*

Where to watch *A Quiet Place*: Paramount+

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** John Krasinski

**Cast:** Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe

A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

The third film in the *Quiet Place* franchise intriguingly rewinds to the first day of the invasion that would ultimately cause an apocalypse. We also transport to the concrete jungle of New York, where we meet a terminally ill woman named Samira (Lupita Nyong'o) as she desperately tries to avoid the sound-sensitive alien creatures intent on attacking the city. You'll still get plenty of the jump-scares that made the first two *Quiet Place* films so effective, but there's an emotional core to *Day One* that resonates, too, especially in Samira's connection with a stranger named Eric (Joseph Quinn). "Somehow," writes EW's critic, "this movie ends up being quite touching in between scenes when it's making you jump." —*K.J.***

Where to watch *A Quiet Place: Day One*: Paramount+

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** Michael Sarnoski

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'

As if *Star Wars* weren't enough, this first entry in the Indiana Jones franchise further cemented Harrison Ford's status as a superstar. One of the most beloved films of all time, *Raiders of the Lost Ark* finds Ford's rogue archaeologist battling Nazis who seek to locate the Ark of the Covenant in the hope of making their armed forces invincible. Unfolding at a relentlessly thrilling pace, Steven Spielberg's action-adventure is elevated further by Ford's charisma, his sparring dynamic with Karen Allen as Indy's past flame Marion, and another rousing score by John Williams. —*K.J.*

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Regarded as one of the most frightening psychological horror films of all time, *Rosemary's Baby* gets its scares from its deft use of dread. Mia Farrow, in her most iconic role, plays Rosemary Woodhouse, a young newlywed who moves with her husband into a New York apartment, where she becomes pregnant and begins to suspect her nosy neighbors have ulterior motives for her baby. As Rosemary's paranoia worsens, she is met with skeptics who try to downplay her concerns, even as evidence suggests that her baby is, in fact, in danger. Farrow's emotionally wrenching performance enhances the terror, leading to a horrifying conclusion that still gives us chills. —*K.J.*

School of Rock (2003)

After breaking out with 2000's *High Fidelity*, Jack Black fully cemented his movie star status with *School of Rock*. The beloved comedy centers Black as Dewey Finn, a former rock guitarist whose desperation for a job leads him to pose as a substitute teacher at a prep school. He proceeds to bring the sheltered kids out of their shells by forming a band with them, allowing them to express their individuality. What could have been another silly comedy becomes a smartly funny and sweet film in director Richard Linklater's hands, with Black's energetic performance netting him widespread praise and even a Golden Globe nomination. —*K.J.*

**Director:** Richard Linklater

**Cast:** Jack Black, Joan Cusack, Mike White, Sarah Silverman**

Smile 2 (2024)

Naomi Scott as Skye Riley in 'Smile 2'

You don't need to watch the first *Smile* film to appreciate this gnarly follow-up, which improves upon its predecessor. All you need to know is that the Smile Entity is a curse that feeds on trauma and can only be passed on by killing another person in front of a witness.

*Smile 2* centers on a pop star named Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) who becomes the latest unlucky recipient of the curse and struggles with unnerving hallucinations. Plus, there's the added burden of her being in the public eye, raising the stakes significantly. With frightening imagery and a fearless performance from Scott, *Smile 2* successfully avoids the dreaded sophomore slump. —*K.J.***

Where to watch *Smile 2*: Paramount+

**Director:** Parker Finn

**Cast:** Naomi Scott, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Ray Nicholson, Dylan Gelula, Raúl Castillo, Kyle Gallner

Paul Thomas Anderson weaves an epic tale of greed and corruption in this riveting Western drama. The film charts Daniel Plainview's (Daniel Day-Lewis) rise to power during the oil boom at the turn of the 20th century, stepping on all who helped him get there. Day-Lewis delivers one of his most towering performances as the ruthless baron whose fractured relationship with his son comes back to haunt him in his later days. "It can hardly be called an 'act,'" EW's critic writes, "so fully does the fictional Daniel come alive, with all the fury, hatred, restlessness, and distrust that courses through him." —*K.J.*

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Joseph Kosinski's follow-up to Tony Scott's 1986 original is perfect blockbuster entertainment if you can avoid some of the dubious messaging. Tom Cruise returns, this time teaching a pack of new recruits the aerial ropes to fight a war against an unspecified enemy. It's another perfectly structured genre movie that gets by on pure adrenaline but works because you actually believe in the stakes. Knowledge of the first film helps but isn't entirely necessary; as EW's critic observes, the film "toggles deftly between winking callbacks and standard big-beat action stuff meant to stand on its own." *—D.G.*

Zodiac (2007)

This police-and-journalists procedural charting the still-unsolved crime spree of the Zodiac Killer is director David Fincher's masterpiece. It's certainly the best "true crime" movie and, depending on your tolerance for *All the President's Men*, might be the best journalism movie. Though more factual than many films, *Zodiac* moves at a rocketing clip and contains at least six sequences of full-blooded terror — Ione Skye on the highway and Jake Gyllenhaal in the basement, to name but two. This is a movie that was well and truly ahead of its time. —*D.G.*

Where to watch *Zodiac*: Paramount+

**Director:** David Fincher

**Cast:** Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Edwards, Brian Cox, Elias Koteas, Donal Logue, John Carroll Lynch, Dermot Mulroney

Role Model brought out Niall Horan onstage as his latest Sally on Tuesday, Nov. 4

Role Model's popular "Sally" segment takes place while he sings his hit song "Sally, When The Wine Runs Out"

The popular segment has seen Kate Hudson, Natalie Portman, Charli xcx, Bowen Yang, and more as "Sally"

Role Model's latest "Sally" is Niall Horan!

Role Model, 28, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, brought out the "Heaven" singer onstage while performing his hit song "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" on the second night of his sold-out run in London on Tuesday, November 4.

For the occasion, Horan, 32, wore light wash denim paired with a white tank layered under a plaid shirt. He completed the look with a black belt and black shoes as he danced across the stage with Role Model, who wore jeans, a button down, and a cropped black jacket.

Horan's appearance went viral on social media after a Role Model fan account posted the onstage moment. In the clip, Horan can be seen dancing around and sharing the mic with Role Model as they sing the viral hit.

"Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" has been gaining traction on social media since its release on Role Model's latest deluxe album, Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye), in February. Throughout Role Model's No Place Like Tour, the "Some Protector" singer has brought out numerous celebrity guests — including Natalie Portman, Renée Rapp, Dylan Minette, Bowen Yang, Charli xcx, and more.

While speaking with James Austin Johnson of Saturday Night Live at Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians event, the "Look At That Woman" singer revealed that he got the idea for his social media famous "Sally" segment from influencer Jake Shane.

When asked by James who books the "Sallys," Role Model said simply "Me," before clarifying how the fan-favorite moment came to be.

Role Model performs onstage during the second leg of his 'No Place like Tour' at Eventim Apollo on November 04, 2025 in London, England.

After he put out the deluxe version of his 2024 album Kansas Anymore, the "Old Recliners" singer explained that the tour kicked off in Phoenix, where he did he first show "normal."

However, when the band went to Dallas, it was around the time that a joke began circling online that the influencer and host of podcast Therapuss, Jake Shane, was the inspiration for the song."He happened to be in Dallas and I was like this would be funny to like play into that and he came up," he said. "Originally I was going to have him up for a different song, something else and then we did that and people loved that, so we started bringing up fans."

Role Model has appeared twice on Shane's podcast Therapuss, which in part prompted humorous fan speculation about the influencer's role in shaping the song.

The "Sally" segment is one of several notable musician tour segments this year. Sabrina Carpenter similarly acknowledges celebrity guests by "arresting" them with pink fuzzy hand cuffs for being "hot." Her arrests have included Joe Keery, Margaret Qualley, Gigi Hadid, Corey Fogelmanis, and more.

Sabrina Carpenter "arrested" Nicole Kidman onstage at her concert at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, Nov. 4

Carpenter referenced Kidman's viral AMC ad and her 2024 film Babygirl during the arrest

Kidman has primarily lived in Nashville since she married her now ex Keith Urban in 2006

Sabrina Carpenter knew Nicole Kidman came to her concert for magic.

At her Nashville concert on Tuesday, Nov. 4, Carpenter, 26, arrested Kidman, 58, with her signature pink fuzzy handcuffs. "We come to this arena for magic, right?" Carpenter said in a video captured by PEOPLE, in reference to Kidman's famous AMC Theatres ad that typically plays before a film shown in the theater.

"Oh my goodness," Carpenter said as the camera focused on Kidman in the crowd to thunderous applause, before joking, "I expected to find love but not my soulmate."

After following her onstage tradition and asking Kidman her name and where she was from, Carpenter said "But you live in Nashville, so if things work out between us, then I guess I'm moving to Nashville."

"You're so Babygirl, I don't know what to do," Carpenter joked in reference to Kidman's 2024 film Babygirl, before asking Kidman if she would be her "'Juno' girl" tonight. She then handed Kidman the pink handcuffs and dedicated the performance of her Short n' Sweet track "Juno" to Kidman.

Other stars "arrested" by Carpenter during her concerts include Gigi Hadid, Emma Bunton, Joe Keery, and Margaret Qualley.

On Sept. 29, PEOPLE confirmed the Oscar-winning actress had separated from her husband Keith Urban after two decades together.

One day after news of their split broke, Kidman officially filed for divorce from Urban, PEOPLE confirmed. The couple share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. (Kidman is also mom to daughter Bella, 32, and son Connor, 30, from her first marriage to Tom Cruise.)

Kidman, Urban, 58, and their daughters lived together in Nashville. TMZ was first to report news of the split, claiming that they had been living separately since the early summer.

— sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

Nearly two years after Kidman and Urban tied the knot in June 2006, the couple purchased their Nashville family home, dubbed the Queen of Northumberland.

The sprawling estate, which they purchased for over $3 million in 2008, was the couple's primary residence until the split, Architectural Digest and House Beautiful report.

In August, a source close to the family told PEOPLE why Kidman loves Nashville life so much, saying, "Nicole lives full-time in Nashville. She loves the tight-knit community and group of friends that she has built, and it's the perfect place to raise her children."

Riley Keough recently posed on the red carpet alongside none other than fellow Hollywood legacy Kate Hudson, making for a photo that is nothing short of iconic.

🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

While attending the Academy Women's Luncheon in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Nov. 4, Keough, the granddaughter of the one and only Elvis Presley, was photographed next to Hudson, the daughter of Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn.

Also featured in the photo was Leslie Mann, a renowned actress in her own right, who is married to prolific director and producer Judd Apatow.

(L-R) Riley Keough, Kate Hudson and Leslie Mann attend the Academy Women's Luncheon Presented by CHANEL at The Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures on November 04, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

While attending Tuesday's event at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Keough, 36, was dressed in a cream-colored Chanel power suit made up of wide-leg pants and an oversized collared jacket. She paired the look with a white button-down shirt, a thin black belt and some pointed-toe white shoes.

Keough, the eldest daughter of Elvis' only child, Lisa Marie Presley, is one of the King of Rock and Roll's four grandchildren. She has acted in a number of TV and movie projects, including the hit TV series Daisy Jones & the Six and the 2024 Hulu mini series Under the Bridge.

As for Hudson, the Running Point actress made a fashionable appearance at Tuesday's event while donning a light pink midi-length satin dress featuring cap sleeves and dark red floral detailing. Hudson, 46, completed her look with a pair of pointed black Mary Jane heels.

Mann, for her part, kept her look fairly casual, sporting a fitted black tweed jacket, jeans and open-toed black heels. She attended the event with her 27-year-old daughter, Euphoria star Maude Apatow, who is also following in her mom's acting footsteps.
