5. ‘Vertigo’ (1958)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93 percent

Alfred Hitchcock thrillers are some of the best movies you’ll ever see, and Vertigo is no exception. Hollywood icon James Stewart stars as John “Scottie” Ferguson, a police detective who develops a crippling sense of acrophobia after a harrowing rooftop chase. When Scottie retires to become a private detective, his fears come back to haunt him when he’s hired to follow a woman, Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak), whose husband claims she’s possessed.

Scottie is also thrown off his game by Judy Barton (Novak), a woman who is so similar to Madeleine that he’s almost convinced that he’s imagining the similarities between them. Almost. If Scottie’s going to uncover the connection between Madeleine and Judy, he’ll have to face his fears head-on.

4. ‘In the Heat of the Night’ (1967)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96 percent

In the Heat of the Night was released during the Civil Rights movement, and Detective Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) was a fierce Black hero who broke new ground on the big screen. Tibbs didn’t bother to hide his intelligence, and his response to the racism he encountered in Sparta, Mississippi, was refreshingly frank. Tibbs wasn’t even supposed to be there, as he was on his way back to Philadelphia.

Tibbs is convinced to stay in town to help Police Chief Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) solve a murder that’s rocked Sparta. When Tibbs angers some of the town’s residents, it puts his own life in jeopardy. Yet he won’t leave until he’s seen this case through to the end.

3. ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ (1947)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96 percent

Yes, it’s a little early for Christmas movies that aren’t named Die Hard. But Miracle on 34th Street represents the very best of the Christmas movies. In the holiday season, Macy’s employee Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara) has inadvertently found Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn), the best Santa actor the store has ever had.

Doris should be happy, but she’s also disturbed that Kris genuinely believes he is Santa Claus, and he’s also convinced her young daughter, Susan Walker (Natalie Wood). When Kris refuses to back down from his assertion, he faces imprisonment in a sanitarium unless Doris’ love interest, Fred Gailey (John Payne), can prove in a court of law that Kris Kringle is the one and only Santa.

2. ‘Double Indemnity’ (1944)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 97 percent

If you’ve ever wanted to see a prime example of film noir, Double Indemnity set the standard just over eight decades ago. Fred MacMurray stars as Walter Neff, an insurance salesman who plots with his client, Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), to murder her husband, Mr. Dietrichson (Tom Powers), and make his death appear to be a suicide.

Neff’s coworker, Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson), is immediately suspicious of Phyllis, but he has a blind spot for his best friend. The real threat to Neff may be Phyllis herself, and she appears to be far more manipulative than he gave her credit for. They’ve already charted their path to Hell, so what’s one or two more bodies along the way?

1. ‘Good Will Hunting’ (1997)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 97 percent

If the acting thing hadn’t taken off for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, they could have fallen back on their careers as screenwriters. The pair starred in Good Will Hunting, which they also wrote, and it gave them Oscar gold for Best Original Screenplay. Robin Williams also won his only Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, thanks to his moving performance as a therapist, Sean Maguire.

Damon plays Will Hunting, an ex-con turned janitor at MIT whose mind can handle complex mathematics that even the college’s best students can’t grasp. Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård) sees potential greatness in Will, who is ordered to attend sessions with Sean to overcome his anger issues. Affleck and Minnie Driver costar as Will’s friend, Chuckie Sullivan, and his lover, Skylar, respectively. They’re the people rooting for Will to get his life together, but he has to take some important steps by himself.
