2. Baby Driver (Departing April 1)
From the creative mind of Edgar Wright, Baby Driver is a visually captivating, adrenaline-fueled action flick that chronicles Baby (Ansel Elgort), a young getaway driver passionate about music and keen to escape his life of crime. With an exceptional soundtrack, impressive editing, and remarkable performances by Lily James, Jamie Foxx, and Jon Hamm, this 2017 film has earned cult status. It’s essential viewing for lovers of action-packed and music-infused stories.
3. How to Train Your Dragon (Departing April 1)
This stunning 2010 DreamWorks animated feature tells the tale of Hiccup, a young Viking who forges a bond with a dragon named Toothless in a realm where dragons are feared. With breathtaking animation, an emotive score by John Powell, and a heartfelt tale about friendship and acceptance, How to Train Your Dragon remains a timeless favorite for families and viewers of all ages.
4. Scream (2022) (Departing April 11)
The fifth chapter in the legendary horror series, Scream (2022) rejuvenates the slasher genre for contemporary audiences.
