Reality Bites (1994)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Few movies capture the ennui and purposelessness felt by Generation X like 'La dura realidad' ('Reality Bites', also known as 'La cruda realidad'), Ben Stiller's directorial debut feature film. The story focuses on Lelaina Pierce (Winona Ryder at the peak of her career), a recently graduated young filmmaker who, faced with unemployment and few prospects that excite her, decides to record a documentary with her friends. Among them is Troy (Ethan Hawke at the peak of his 90s charm), a carefree guitarist for whom she feels attraction, but also Michael (Stiller), a yuppie executive from a television channel who has things more clear. Although it is not as deep as it could be, the movie is already a classic of the 90s decade, capturing the aesthetics and concerns of the generation that reached adulthood during those years.

Tropic Thunder
With more than forty nominations including an Oscar, two Golden Globes and a BAFTA, 'A War Movie' is a low-budget comedy that satirizes war films, playing with all the genre's clichés and providing a well-humored critique of the U.S. film industry. With an all-star cast featuring names like Tom Cruise, Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Ben Stiller, Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr., this is an intelligent movie for easy laughs.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Ben Stiller is an actor known for his comedic characters, often over-the-top, in films like 'Dodgeball' or 'There's Something About Mary'. However, he reverses these stigmas and shows he can also do good dramas with 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'. Although it has some humorous aspects, this feature film also directed by Stiller moves with the journey of a man who aims to turn dreams into reality. It's an exciting, emotional and, above all, inspiring "road movie".
