Trailer
Why watch this film?
The beginning of one of the most famous spy franchises in cinema, right behind the stories of James Bond, 'Mission: Impossible' is a movie with a 1990s feel and already showing some signs of what would come in future productions. Here, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, in a role that became a milestone in his career) embarks on a secret mission that goes wrong and the protagonist, all of a sudden, becomes the main suspect in the murder of his spy partner. Director Brian de Palma ('Scarface', 'Carrie: The Strange') sets the tone with interesting visual jokes, with an 80s look and 90s spirit, despite some stumbles in the more emotional scenes - there's a lack of adrenaline in certain moments. But Tom Cruise's precise acting and iconic scenes in cinema history, such as the famous sequence of Ethan Hunt descending from the ceiling in a maximum security room, make up for the mistakes and outdated moments of the movie. To have fun and, mainly, to kick off the franchise marathon.

From the same director
The Untouchables
A true work of cinematic art, with great direction by Brian De Palma and a star-studded cast. The pace and action scenes are incredible, but the highlight really goes to Sean Connery's Oscar-winning performance and Ennio Morricone's Grammy-winning score.
Body Double
One of the less talked about movies from director Brian De Palma, but that has an intriguing suspense vibe, in a Hitchcock-style feature filled with lots of sex.
Casualties of War
Considered by none other than Quentin Tarantino as the best movie about the Vietnam War. One of the merits of the feature is knowing how to combine action scenes with an ethical debate, along with great performances by Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn.
Carlito's Way
One of great movies from director Brian De Palma, with amazing sequences. The performances of Al Pacino and Sean Penn are unforgettable, not to mention the story has a human look at the tale of a former mobster who now wants to lead a righteous life.
Dressed to Kill
‘Dressed to Kill’ is an excellently directed erotic thriller by Brian De Palma (director of ‘Scarface’) in an obvious homage to one of the most influential filmmakers in his style: Alfred Hitchcock. You may feel a bit dated by today's standards, but the script is solid and the performances from legends like Michael Caine and Nancy Allen are masterful.
Scarface
"Say hello to my little friend!" The iconic phrase of Tony Montana was destined to be part of pop culture, so much so that you surely recognize it even if you haven't seen 'Scarface'. Based on the original 1932 version, Brian De Palma directs an authentic gangster movie classic. In addition, this movie launched the career of Michelle Pfeiffer, has a wonderful performance by Al Pacino and has music by Giorgio Moroder as the icing on the cake.
Carrie
A terrifying vision of bullying, adolescence, and supernatural powers, which is one of its main merits for the perfect combination of horror and suspense. Not to mention that the graduation scene is one of the most classic scenes in movie history. Don't watch the recent remake, but see the original work of art - even though it may seem a bit dated to the younger eyes.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
