Fair warning: not all of these movies are kid friendly. But shouldn’t the kids be outside playing in nature or something anyway? The Lobster (Amazon and Apple Digital Rental)If you moved to the big city recently, and are making the trip home for the holidays, and want to show off to all the provincial boors in your family just how smart and artsy and sophisticated you are now—but also want to watch a movie that’s entertaining and one that you don’t have to read—then you could do a lot worse than The Lobster. Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s first English- language feature is clever and sad, a damp and chilly look at a dystopian near- future in which romance has been distilled to a strictly mandated and regulated social institution.

Your family will be so impressed! And maybe a little depressed. Cloverfield Lane (Apple 9.

Digital Rental)If you and your cousins just have to get away from your Trump- supporting relatives this Thanksgiving, head on down to the basement rec room to watch this finely done thriller. O. K., so a movie about three people trapped in a small space together may not exactly be an escape from being stuck at home with your family—but this nifty, nasty little film from director Dan Trachtenberg is still worth a watch.

Loosely connected to the 2. Cloverfield, this sorta- sequel is really its own stand- alone tale of claustrophobia and control—with some monster stuff grafted on. The bulk of the film is entirely human, though, with a terrific Mary Elizabeth Winstead squaring off against a looming doomsday prepper played scarily by John Goodman. Grim and tense, Trachtenberg’s debut film (he also did a great episode of Black Mirror this season) shows a lot of promise, and ought to be a good enough distraction from the monsters in your own house. Maybe it will even remind you that, hey, things could be worse.

Everybody Wants Some!! The college- set film, also written and directed by Linklater, isn’t quite as captivating as Dazed, but it’s still a lot of fun, following a freshman baseball player’s first weekend of school as he gets to know his fellow teammates and meets a girl. Mellow and genial, Everybody Wants Some!! Sure, all the sex talk might be a little uncomfortable to watch with your dad, or really anyone in your family—but you’re an adult now!

Which is maybe why your dad is crying. Sing Street (Netflix, Free)If you’re looking for a film about a family so dysfunctional it makes yours look positively saintly by comparison, then Sing Street might be just the ticket. Set in Ireland in the 1. Once and Begin Again writer/director John Carney tells the story of Conor (newcomer Ferdia Walsh- Peelo), who tries to escape his tumultuous home life by forming a band. While the family drama is real, the tone of the film itself is light, and the original music—which flirts with homages to The Cure, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello, and more—is every bit as appealing as the great performances. Are you able to escape family drama with family drama? When it’s of the musical variety, absolutely yes.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (Apple Digital Rental)When you’ve worn out the family copy of Jurassic Park by watching it way, way too many times, perhaps it’s time to give this new. Sam Neill classic a spin. Bringing back that Dr. Alan Grant curmudgeon- with- a- heart- of- gold magic, Neill plays Hec an antisocial New Zealander who, due to a personal tragedy, gets saddled with a foster kid and thrust into the wilds of the New Zealand bush. Once again, though, it’s family drama hiding inside an uplifting comedy. Newcomer Julian Dennison turns in one of the warmest and most memorable performances of the year as street kid Ricky Baker, who quickly takes to the outdoor adventure.

Wilderpeople displays the wry, loopy comedy that has won writer/director Taika Waititi (Boy,What We Do in the Shadows) such a devoted following. And all the mouthwatering outdoor cooking scenes give the film an added holiday twist.

The Nice Guys (Amazon, Apple Digital Rental)If the fighting in your family is so bad this holiday weekend that you have to blow off some steam with a little stylish cinematic violence, why not try The Nice Guys? Like many of writer/director Shane Black’s other popular films—Lethal Weapon,Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,Iron Man 3—this black comedy noir features Christmas as a backdrop.

Nothing says holiday spirit like dead porn actresses, brass knuckles, and prolonged shoot- outs, right? But as is the case with Black’s other movies, The Nice Guys has a sentimental core. Russell Crowe plays a washed up enforcer, while Ryan Gosling—delivering effortlessly brilliant physical comedy—plays his accidental partner: an alcoholic private eye. Gosling’s character has a precocious daughter (played with rare unmannered charm by 1.

Angourie Rice), and the three of them form an unlikely team set on exposing corruption in 1. L. A. There’s a treat for cinephiles as Crowe re- unites with his L.

A. Story leading lady Kim Basinger, but it’s his natural chemistry with Gosling that makes The Nice Guys such an enjoyable ride. Zootopia (Netflix)Plop the kiddies and the oldies around the screen for this one. Zootopia is a Disney project with a surprisingly strong allegorical theme about the way racism can destroy a community. The story revolves around Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin), a bunny from a small town who wants to be a cop. Once she hits the big city, she discovers just how difficult this task is—no one takes bunnies seriously, and none have ever gone on to successful law- enforcement careers.

In the process, she stumbles upon a mysterious case centered on a Godfather- like villain and blackmails a con artist fox, Nick (Jason Bateman), into helping her. What follows is a surprising tale that weaves heavy symbolism into a smart, kid- friendly film. Netflix)For something a bit more mature and historical, head to Netflix for Ava Du. Vernay’s latest documentary, 1. The film takes its title from the 1. Amendment of the Constitution, which outlawed slavery. It then uses that as a foundation to dive into how race is inextricably linked with our criminal justice system, featuring interviews with luminaries including Henry Louis Gates, Angela Davis, and Van Jones.

The doc also explores modern racism—you may have seen the now- viral clip that compares and contrasts the violence at Donald Trump’s rallies with old clips of violence during civil rights protests. It’s chilling and more vital viewing than ever as the nation grapples with the results of this month’s election.

Deadpool (HBO Go)Kick the kids out of the living room for this one. The R- rated Deadpool made a huge splash at the top of the year, starring Ryan Reynolds as the foul- mouthed superhero with a thirst for bloody revenge. After being diagnosed with severe cancer, the man who will be Deadpool agrees to undergo an, er, experimental surgery that ends up healing him, but leaves him horribly disfigured—and superpowered. The film also stars Morena Baccarin as his leading lady, Vanessa.
