Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, “Mufasa: The Lion King” enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick.

Se7en (1995)

Gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, lust — everyone has a sin. For detectives William Somerset and David Mills they live among these sins, every day, a crumbling city of crime all around them. But nothing can prepare the partners for the killings they are about to experience, all of which begins when they find a morbidly obese man who has died from the forced ingestion of spaghetti. What starts as one bizarre crime turns into a case of serial murders as a predator named John Doe begins to execute victims by paying homage to the “deadly sin” they represent.

The Game (1997)
A bored billionaire philanthropist is given a birthday gift by his brother to make his life more interesting – a high-stakes game in which the rules remain a mystery. After receiving numerous clues and life-saving keys, he realizes that someone has made him the target of a detailed scam, completely draining his bank account in the process. When he begins to believe that “the game” ends when he is dead, he must do what he can to save his own life.

Panic Room (2002)
Trapped in their New York brownstone’s panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman and her daughter, Sarah, play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders–Burnham, Raoul and Junior– during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.

Zodiac (2007)
As a serial killer terrifies the San Francisco Bay Area and taunts with his ciphers and letters, investigators in four jurisdictions search for the murderer. The case will become an obsession for four men as theirs lives and careers are built and destroyed by the endless trail of clues. Based on the actual case files of one of the most intriguing unsolved crimes in the nation’s history.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: A man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.

The Social Network (2010)
On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history… but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist accepts an invitation to surreptitiously investigate a forty-year-old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim’s uncle, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger. Meanwhile, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander, hired to investigate Blomkvist, discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to his fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers a secret history of murder and sexual abuse festering beneath the veneer of Sweden’s industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both.

The Killer (2023)
After a fateful near miss, an assassin battles his employers and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal.
