Credit: 72nd Street Productions If you preferred Adam Scott in Party Down over Parks and Recreation, then you simply must watch The Vicious Kind. Written and directed by Lee Toland Krieger, this cruelly undersung drama centers on a dysfunctional family of three on a tumultuous Thanksgiving holiday. When an idealistic college boy (Alex Frost) brings home a new girlfriend (Brittany Snow), his misanthropic older brother (Scott) and tone-deaf father (J.K. Simmons) scramble and scrap to make an impression…but not necessarily a good one. The whole ensemble is excellent, but Adams is the standout, providing a performance that's sharply funny, unapologetically dark, and unnervingly sexy. — Kristy Puchko, Deputy Entertainment Editor

Whether or not you were a fan of Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, this account of the same true story is well worth your time. Mashable's Adam Rosenberg writes: "Brett Morgen's 2007 documentary is a movie for people who don't like documentaries. It sews together archival footage with animated courtroom scenes based on the trial transcript and is voiced by a star-studded cast, with all of it driven forward by the beat of a soundtrack brimming with hard-charging protest music. There's an energy here that you don't often find in other docs."

Credit: Nordisk Film The late author Stieg Larsson's beloved crime thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was adapted twice after his death in 2005. Danish director Neils Arden Oplev tackled it first in 2009, with Noomi Rapace appearing as iconic vigilante Lisbeth Salander. Then American filmmaker David Fincher got in on the fun with actor Rooney Mara as Lisbeth in 2011. Both films have merit. But if you've only seen the latter, double-back for Oplev's take. It's just as magnetic, if not in all the same ways, and you'll come to appreciate the source material even more. — A.F.

Girlsactor Christopher Abbott stars in this moody film as the titular James White. James is a tortured screw-up living with his terminally ill mother Gail (Cynthia Nixon) in New York City. As Gail's death nears, James is forced to face the limitations of his self-destructive "coping" and manifest a new way of living for after she's gone.

Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) also appears as James' friend Nick. —A.F.

Self-described as cinema's "first feature-length painted animation," Loving Vincent recounts the life and death of Vincent van Gogh. Written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, the experimental film uses the Dutch painter's own works to trace his artistic rise and psychological decline across a stunning narrative journey.

Credit: New World Pictures/Getty Images The '80s teen comedy gets a pitch-perfect pitch-black twist in Heathers. Winona Ryder stars as the popular but disaffected Veronica, whose life takes a turn when she falls for bad boy J.D. (Christian Slater). And when we say bad, we mean bad: He's literally a murderer, getting Veronica involved in a killing spree against classmates who've tried to humiliate her. Heathers' portrayal of the high school experience is so bitingly funny, so sharply observed that it's never lost its power to draw blood, and probably never will.*— Angie Han, Former Deputy Entertainment Editor
