With hundreds of movies released every year begging for audiences’ attention, it’s hard to pick and choose which movies to see in theaters. While your average movie-goer will pay to see the big summer blockbusters like Fast and Furious, superhero movies, or almost anything with Michael Bay’s name on it, lesser movies tend to fall under the radar of most movie-goers. Luckily, that’s why there is Redbox, the convenient way to rent the newest releases. So for weekends or the inevitable snow days, here are a few movies you may have missed that aren’t available on Netflix.

The Walk

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and based on a true story, The Walk is a biopic about the life of French high wire artist Philippe Petit. Petit famously and illegally walked across the unfinished World Trade Towers on a tightrope. Petit’s story was also told in the award-winning 2008 documentary Man on Wire. The first half of the movie deals with Petit’s early life as we learn that he was a performance artist in France who became fixated in walking across the Twin Towers.

Some have noted The Walk feels like a fairy tale, and there is definitely some truth to that. The whole movie is narrated by Petit from on top of the Statue of Liberty with the World Trade Center in the background. While the first half dealing with Petit’s life in France might be a bit slow for some audiences, the second half in New York City is where the movie turns into an exciting heist movie. However, instead of the goal being to steal something, it’s instead to perform a crazy and illegal stunt.

Of course, the big elephant in the room is the World Trade Center itself. It’s hard not to think of the September 11 attacks any time the towers are on screen. One of the best aspects of The Walk, however, is that it never ever dwells on this topic. There is a very subtle tribute to the tower towards the end of the movie, but that’s about it. With an impressive 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, The Walk isn’t a masterpiece, but is still worth a rent.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Based on the TV show that your grandparents remember from the 1960’s,The Man from U.N.C.L.E. stars Superman himself, Henry Cavill, and Armie Hammer in the leading roles. The film plot takes place during the Cold War and revolves around agent Napoleon Solo (Cavill) and Russian agent Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) who must team up to stop a group of Nazi sympathizers that plan on making a nuclear weapon.

Of all the movies that came out last year, this was probably the most underrated. The action in this movie is really slick and well-directed, and the two lead actors play off each other really well. The entire American and Russian dynamic works great, especially in the Cold War setting. The film holds a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which is far from a masterpiece, but this is a case where some critics are being too harsh on a movie. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a highly-underrated movie and worth a rental at Redbox.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Saving the best for last, Mad Max: Fury Road is a near-perfect action movie, the kind of movie Hollywood rarely dares to make these days, with coherent and well-directed action scenes not littered with pointless CGI. The film stars Tom Hardy as the Road Warrior himself, Mad Max.

In particular, the cinematography is amazing. In fact, if it wasn’t for The Revenant, Fury Road  would have the best cinematography of the year. Despite the movie taking place in a post-apocalypse wasteland, Fury Road is very colorful film filled with a bright orange and blue color pallette. Almost everything in Fury Road melds together perfectly, including one of the best soundtracks of the year; it’s loud, bombastic, and full of energy and one of the many aspects of Fury Road that leaves a lasting impression.

The film holds an astonishing 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes and made it on a number of top ten movies lists from 44 different critics, 20 of whom placed it at #1. Fury Road was also recently nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture. Fury Road is a must-see and should be the new standard all other modern action movies are judged by.
