Dax Shepard revealed he'd almost died when he was in the 12th grade in high school during a recent episode of his Armchair Expert podcast

"I have had the moment, which is among the most unique feelings I've ever had in my life, where I went, 'Oh, I'm about to die. I'm like seconds away from dying,' " he recalled

Shepard remembered that a car he was riding in at the time had "gone off the road" while they had been "going 85." The vehicle "started to go sideways" and rolled multiple times, but he ultimately made it out alive

Dax Shepard is opening up about having a near-death experience.

During the latest episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, which aired on Monday, Feb. 9, Shepard, 51, told co-host Monica Padman, 38, and guest Kaley Cuoco, 40, that he'd almost died when he was in the 12th grade in high school.

The group had been discussing true crime when Shepard asked Cuoco whether she'd ever had a near-death experience.

"No. Is it weird that I kinda wish I did? I want one," the Big Bang Theory actress responded, adding, "Because I wanna see what these people are ... what are they seeing?"

Shepard admitted, "I don't know what the definition is. But, I have had the moment, which is among the most unique feelings I've ever had in my life, where I went, 'Oh, I'm about to die. I'm like seconds away from dying,' " recalling, "I was in the back seat of a car. Like I had folded the seats down in the back of a Ford Probe, in like a hatchback, and my friend was driving. We were coming back from Toledo, back up to Detroit."

The actor continued, "It was like late at night, and I had to work super early in the morning. So I go, 'Hey, I'm gonna sleep in the back. Are you good to drive?' [He said] 'Yeah, I'm totally fine.' He had the cruise control on 85, and I'm like back there, I'm listening, and the road was really rhythmic.'"

"Just at that moment, I was like, 'Oh, that rhythm's nice. I'm gonna fall asleep.' And then I just heard gravel hitting the side of the car. And I immediately looked up and he was completely slumped over," Shepard remembered, saying that the car had "gone off the road" and had been "going 85" before the vehicle "started to go sideways."

"It's just pine trees lining that interstate in Michigan. And I started to go ... to grab the wheel and there was a moment I just knew it was too far gone. Like we had gone completely sideways. I laid back down and then ... we just launched in the air and we started rolling right down the highway," Shepard shared.

The podcast host said that he was just "waiting" to "hit a tree" as the accident was happening, telling the group, "I'm like, 'We're gonna hit a tree and that's gonna be that.' And I definitely had this moment where I was like, 'Oh, wow, I'm gonna die in a second.' And the feeling was shockingly comforting. Like, that I remember."

Shepard said he "went from complete fear, 'S--t, the car's out of control. Oh my God, we're gonna roll. F--k. We're rolling,'" to him eventually feeling "very calm."

He said he thinks chemicals in his brain had been released and made him feel, "kinda weirdly at total peace with it," amid the accident.

"Then we just rolled like 10 times, ended up upside down. We did not hit a tree," Shephard said. "The car was flat. We crawled out the windows … He was okay, and I was okay."

The comedian said he now wants to "talk to other folks because the trippiest part for me was post that event for about three days."

He said he questioned whether he had actually died for days afterward. "Because I already went, 'Oh, I'm dead' and I accepted it. For the next three days, I'd just be places that I felt very peculiar like, 'Am I dead? I know I died.' That was the weirdest part of the whole thing," he recalled.

Shepard said that the experience had a lasting effect on him, despite it happening years ago.

"It was highly memorable. This may shock you, but I've never been able to fall asleep in a car ever since. So I can never let the other person take a turn driving," he insisted, adding, "There's no way I could sleep with someone else driving. That's a wrap on that."

The Paul brothers are divided over the Super Bowl halftime show.

Famed internet personalities Logan and Jake Paul took to X Sunday night to debate Bad Bunny's performance at Super Bowl 60, clashing over the powerful imagery the Latin superstar opted to employ in his celebrity-studded set.

"Purposefully turning off the halftime show," Jake Paul, 29, wrote on the platform. "Let's rally together and show big corporations they can't just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them) You are their benefit.

"Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that," he continued. Bad Bunny, who sang mostly in Spanish during the performance, was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the U.S.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show brings powerful message, celebrities to world stage

In response, Logan, 30, replied to the post, writing: "I love my brother but I don't agree with this Puerto Ricans are Americans & I'm happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island."

Logan and Jake, both influencers-turned-professional boxers, represent just one of the many offering strong opinions about Bad Bunny's performance. While the younger Paul joins a legion of conservative voices who took issue with the choice of Bad Bunny as a headliner in the first place, scores of other celebrities reacted positively to Sunday's show.

The Super Bowl is not just a football game. It's also an endurance test for viewers, who have to sit through a parade of ads that are meant to be bigger and better than anything else on television.

For the 2026 Super Bowl, one 30-second commercial reportedly cost around $8 million, and some brands even parted ways with $10 million for the most expensive airtime on television.

And yet, for all that money, some brands used their spots to make viewers scratch their heads.

One of the ads showed a celebrity pop star building a man out of potato chips. One crypto company paid Super Bowl prices to simply show karaoke lyrics.

Here are all the commercials that dominated timelines for all the wrong (and sometimes right) reasons.

#1 Nerds

It was a "pinch-me" moment for Andy Cohen to star in the Nerds commercial for Super Bowl 2026.He promoted the brand's new Juicy Gummy Clusters in the commercial, titled: "Taste Buds," where the Watch What Happens Live host followed his candy friend, Gummy, and prepared to hit the red carpet together.Andy said he grew up loving the candy brand and appearing in the campaign felt like a dream-come-true moment."I only do things that are organic and that make sense, and I've been eating Nerds since I was a little kid," he told People. "Being a part of a Super Bowl ad is like a 'pinch me' moment in a life of many 'pinch me' moments." He said it was a "huge production" and he "got to eat Nerds all day.""So I was just having a ball," he added.

#2 Fanatics Sportsbooks

Kendall Jenner ruins the careers of athletles. This was the story Fanatics Sportsbook paid millions of dollars to say through their Super Bowl commercial."The internet says I'm cursed. Any basketball player who dates me kind of gets bad luck," said the model, who has previously been linked with players like Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, Jordan Clarkson, and Blake Griffin."But, today it's time to bet on something new....football players," she said, urging fans to place their bets on the betting and gaming platform.Matt King, the company's CEO, said they saw a "big spike" in their app downloads after the ad first dropped. "From day one, we were excited to partner with an icon like Kendall Jenner and, obviously, in today's marketing world, doing something that kind of blends the social environment with the traditional media environment is truly a unique opportunity, but that's the way you're going to get maximum impact," he said.But not all viewers shared the same excitement, with one saying: "Such a cringe ad. I thought she was better than this.""How refreshing....a commercial that shows off the moral decline of civilization. Anyone wanna bet on that?!" said another.Others praised Kendall and said, "Self deprecating humor is the best.""Her villain era," read one comment. "Her acting damn so good.""Kinda love her for making money off something people make fun of her for! Laugh all the way to the bank Kenny!" another said.

#3 Pringles

Sabrina Carpenter is lonely, so she builds a man out of potato chips. This was the simple premise of Pringles' Super Bowl ad that had viewers asking if it's "Comedy or [the] mental issues of a celebrity being exposed?" "Filming with a man made of Pringles was definitely a first for me," the Espresso singer told the Hollywood Reporter about starring in the commercial. "It was important to me when making a commercial like this that the concept felt authentic to me and my brand," she went on to say. "I wanted to be able to incorporate my sense of humor and also create a commercial that felt a bit more nontraditional for a major snack brand." Fans had plenty to say about Sabrina's potato-chip-made lover boy."This is probably real life for her hahaha," one said, while another quipped, "Even the Pringleman can't survive the Sabrina Cinematic Universe.""Her men always di*s at the end every time," one said."Comedy or mental issues of a celebrity being exposed?" one asked. Another wrote, "Me watching this while knowing I'll be a Single Pringle on Valentine's Day."

#4 Bud Light

Bud Light had former champion quarterback Peyton Manning, comedian Shane Gillis, and singer Post Malone starring in their Super Bowl commercial. Yet, viewers still said, "What a fail."The ad sees an entire wedding party tumble down a hill, hoping to save a keg of beer rolling down. The ad ends on a happy note, with everyone getting a mug of cold beer, but viewers said they simply weren't convinced."He was justifiably throwing the keg of Bud away, down the cliff," one said."Try as hard as you'd like, Gen Z ain't buying the p*ss water," read a second comment, while a third said, "I expected it to be terrible... and it exceeded my expectations!""GUINNESS FANS JUST KEEP WALKING. WHY CHASE SOMETHING THATS GOING DOWN HILL.?" one asked.

#5 Kellogg's

William Shatner made a real commitment to Kellogg's when he allowed the words "Will Shat" to be used over and over and over again in their Raisin Bran commercial.The message of the commercial was clear: their high-fiber cereal was great in helping with digestion and bowel movements. And William Shatner's name was used to drive that point home."Kellogg's wanted to do a Super Bowl commercial talking about fiber, which makes you crap really well — you s--- really well with fiber. And the problem was: how do you make that amusing? How do you get a laugh on that? And that's what they worked on," he told Entertainment Weekly."To their benefit, the advertising company started off with my name, and I kept saying, 'Can you do that? Does that mean it's me sitting on a toilet?' So we worked on refining what was in decent taste, if not good taste, about what is amusing about going to the bathroom," he went on to say.The actor admitted that "Will Shat" used to be the name his bullies used to call him in school. He used to get into fights in the locker room over the name, and it became a "sore spot" for him as a child, he said. Viewers joined in on the fun and left a load of poop-related puns in the comments section of the ad."Holy Shat," one said, while another quipped, "Doody Calls! "At the ripe old age of 94, this captain knows how to sit upright in a captain's chair and eat Kellogg"s Raisin Bran at the same time," a fan said. "I'm impressed.""You know he don't need the money. He's just having fun," said another. One asked, "Are we laughing at him or is he laughing at us?"

#6 Bosch

Brains were stalling and eyes were popping when Bosch aired an ad featuring Guy Fieri transforming into JustAGuy.The TV personality ditched his spiky blonde hair, his signature goatee, and his flaming-hot shirts to debut a squeaky-clean new look for the commercial, in which he goes from "JustAGuy" to Guy Fieri whenever he uses a Bosch product.The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host said he was so committed to the clean-guy look that he would have actually shaved his goatee if he wasn't in the middle of filming Tournament of Champions."The wig was real. My hairstylist that does all my stuff for all my shows came with me. The plaid shirts and Dockers I was wearing," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Everybody's at my house laughing because, you know, we'd do it in a day, and then they'd come back next week, and I'm Guy again. But we did use CGI on the goatee and on the tattoos."Fans loved the concept of the ad, but some simply couldn't digest Guy's unusual look"Soooo creepy," one said, while another asked, "Why have I watched this 3 times in a row?""Please Guy, please!!! Dress like this on Halloween. Please!! And I'll cook you dinner!" said a fan.A critic wrote, "After about 15 seconds in it was tasteless and obnoxious," one quipped. Guy's son Hunter Fieri also commented and said, "Hey dad… since you're just a 'Guy' could you please help fix our dishwasher? I've called 3 times!"

#7 Hims & Hers

"Rich people live longer," read the opening dialogue of the Hims & Hers ad, narrated by rapper Common. The pharamaceutical company advertised their new at-home testing offers, including an early detection test for cancer."All that money doesn't just buy more stuff, it buys more time…," the narration said. "The rich have healthcare that comes to them, custom-formulated peptides, specialists on call, and preventative care before they need it.""They get the best of everything, so why don't you?" Common asked.The commercial didn't sit too well with all viewers, as one said, "This might actually be the most evil commercial I've ever seen.""Is this from the same director as the movie 'The Substance?'" one asked.

#8 Mike Tyson's Plea To "Eat Real Food"

Mike Tyson showed up on viewers' screens, not to sell a product but to issue a warning. Sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services-aligned organization MAHA Center, the ad featured the boxing legend talking about eating healthy and avoiding processed foods.He spoke about his own addiction to processed foods and how he weighed nearly 350 pounds at one point because of it."I was so fat and nasty – I would eat anything," he said in the clip. "I had so much self-hate when I was like that."Viewers brutally roasted the ad saying, "The most unserious commercial.""Dude you can't use mike tyson to do an inspirational psa, everything he says is funny. it doesn't help when you've got him saying shit like nasty and fudgy lmfao," one said,"As soon as I heard the 'Fat and Nasty' my ass laughed uncontrollably," one said.Another wrote, "I'm very sorry Mr. Tyson, I won't do it again.""This is going to play at a time when people will be eating nothing but processed foods," another wrote.

#9 Rocket x Redfin

You can almost feel Redfin x Rocket's Super Spot commercial trying not to offend anyone as they tell the stories of two families, one white and one Latino, who move to a neighborhood. It takes a lost dog for the white family to really notice their new neighbors.The story played out to the vocals of Lady Gaga, singing the Won't You Be My Neighbor theme from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood."Sorry Redfin and Rocket Mortgage use of Fred Rogers Won't You Be My Neighbor for (seemingly late stage) capitalistic purposes is creepy," one commented on the ad.Another said, "Redfin Rocket Mortgage got a little WOKE tonight.""Redfin/ Rocket Mortgage 'Neighbors' commercial: -used a child of divorce, a lost pet, and rage-baiting to sell you a mortgage. Fail," another declared.

#10 Instacart

Ben Stiller and Benson Boone went head to head in a showdown for Instacart's "Bananas" commercial.Directed by award-winning filmmaker Spike Jonze, the commercial opened with Boone and Stiller dressed in their retro disco-performer avatars.As they sing a duet about how they choose bananas on Instacart, Stiller tries to one-up his opponent but falls and crashes onto a drumset."Spike Jonze is one of our great directors – so working with him was a dream," Stiller said in a press release and called the Beautiful Things singer "insanely talented.""The whole thing was so much fun," he added.Boone returned the praises by saying: "Working on a Super Bowl commercial for Instacart blew my mind. However, adding Ben Stiller to the equation… diabolical."A fan called the ad "Comedy gold!!" and said, "Ben and Benny make a great team!""That song is going to get stuck in my head all day now," one said, while another agreed, "It lives rent free in my head! I sing it all day!" "It's like some Freddy Mercury weirdness! Ben Stiller is hilarious!" one quipped. "Dumbest commercial I've seen in a long time," one critic said. "Every time I hear Ben Stiller do that voice, it might as well be nails on a chalk board. This is supposed to be funny? Sorry, I forgot to laugh."

#11 Svedka

Svedka's first-ever Super Bowl ad brought back its old "Fembot" mascot to life. But people felt extremely uneasy to see character dancing and partying with another male robot."Genuinely the worst Super Bowl ads ever," one said, while another wrote, "This was terrible to watch.""Might have been the worst ad I saw," one declared."Cause only a robot could drink Svedka and look like they are enjoying it," another chimed in. "That shit was creepy af," said another. The brand brought Fembot back after a hiatus of more than a decade, and the commercial became the first primarily AI-generated Super Bowl commercial. It was also the very first vodka brand to have an ad slot during the big game."Svedka had been declining and bleeding fans for a while," Sazerac CMO Sara Saunders told ADWEEK. "We felt [the Fembot] was a valuable brand asset that had been abandoned."Saunders also spoke about the use of AI for their ad instead of traditional approaches."We have been very intentional that we've done everything to the utmost quality and there is human feeling in it," Saunders told the outlet. "AI isn't a shortcut."

#12 Coinbase

Coinbase took one of the most expensive advertising slots in the world and used it to show… lyrics of a Backstreet Boys song.The company said nothing about the brand and nothing about their offerings. They had no celebrity appearances and no story to tell. All they had was what appeared to look like a karaoke screen from a local bar, displaying lyrics of the boy band's hit song Everybody.Their objective was to get viewers to sing along to their ad during the game.Coinbase said their minimalist approach was intention, as they tried to stick out from a long list of "polished" ads."We're still competing with people's cell phones, and this ad will undoubtedly get them and anyone to look up," Cat Ferdon, Coinbase's chief marketing officer, told Variety. "We're really trying to effectively use this as the world's biggest singalong, to show that crypto isn't just for techies, but really for anyone who knows the lyrics," she added.

#13 Squarespace

Emma Stone spiralled over a domain name in Squarespace's commercial.The actress was seen struggling to negotiate with someone who owns her domain, emmastone.com."You listen to me you little piece of f****** s***, I make one f****** phone call, literally one, and your life becomes a bureaucratic sinkhole," she was heard saying while trying to negotiate with the person who had the domain."Your bank will believe you're deceased, your f****** mother will start a prayer email chain, your f****** mail will be f******* forwarded to some guy named Dale in Wisconsin," she continued, venting her frustration.

#14 poppi

"Make it poppi," Charli xcx was heard saying in the Super Bowl commercial spot for the soda brand. The ad opens with a student cracking open a can of poppi inside a classroom filled with unasumed students.At the sound of the can going "pop," the teacher transforms into Charli xcx, who is joined by Rachel Sennott in turning the classroom into a club. "That was dumb," one viewer said, while another called it, "Gen Z brainrot slop."Kristina MacIntosh, Senior Vice President of Marketing at poppi, said the addition of the Brat singer in the ad "was key.""She shapes culture, she doesn't chase it. That's where the most powerful brand moments come from today," she said in a statement.

#15 Openai

Nothing screams "start using artificial intelligence" quite like aggressive reminders of what humans used to do before machines took over.The ad promoted OpenAI's coding assistant called Codex, but it somehow managed to romanticize old-school creativity with shots of handwritten notes and people reading books."A Codex ad with only three seconds of Codex in it, zero information about what it actually is, and heavily centered on someone enjoying thinking through science with analog formats like paper and whiteboards," one commented online. "Who was this advertising to?""This ad fails at its basic job: explaining what Codex is and why I should care. The entire video assumes I already know too much," said another.

Kaley Cuoco got candid about her unusual sleeping arrangements with fiancé, Tom Pelphrey during the Monday, Feb. 9 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast

Cuoco said that sleeping in the same bed became impossible for "night owl" Pelphrey

The star added that sleeping apart is the "best decision" the couple has ever made

Kaley Cuoco is opening up about her non-conventional sleeping arrangements with fiancé, Tom Pelphrey.

The 40-year-old Big Bang Theory star got candid about sleeping apart from her fiancé after struggling with their opposite schedules. During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday, Feb. 9, Cuoco said that the couple's numerous rescue dogs, along with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda, made it difficult for Pelphrey to get his rest.

"He was like, 'I can't do this anymore.' And I'm like, 'I understand.' So he started sleeping in the guest room," Cuoco shared, calling the move a "game changer."

She went on to explain that the Ozark actor is a "night owl" and tends to go to bed very late, while she is the opposite.

"He writes at night. He reads, It's his quiet time," Cuoco said of her fiancé. "So he's up late and wakes up late on a non-working day. We established this from day one. I go to bed early, and I wake up early. We're totally on different sleeping schedules."

Prior to their decision to sleep separately, Cuoco said she was always "tiptoeing around" in the mornings to avoid waking Pelphrey. She added that the idea to sleep separately was originally floated by Pelphrey and her initial reaction wasn't positive.

"We do couples therapy, and we love it," Cuoco said. ""So he brings us up. At first, I'm like, 'What will people think?' And he's like, 'I never see you at night.' I don't see him. It's not our sexy time. We don't cuddle. Yeah. We don't see each other at night. He goes, 'Why do you care?' And I sat there and I went, 'God, I don't care.' And he goes, 'Let's try it.' "

Kaley Cuoco, daughter Matilda, and Tom Pelphrey celebrate the holidays together.

Going on to note that Pelphrey didn't "move" out of their bedroom but rather simply sleeps in the guest room, Cuoco said that her man "sleeps great" without the many distractions and disruptions.

Cuoco called the sleeping arrangement the, "best decision we ever made," adding, "It works great for us. We're, like, so much happier."

Cuoco and Pelphrey first met in 2022 after being set up by her manager. Cuoco joked of their instant attraction, "We got pregnant like an hour later."

Tired of FX-heavy blockbusters? You can travel back to a simpler film era via Amazon Prime's extensive library of classic movies. Whether you're in the mood for a laugh-out-loud screwball comedy, a thoughtful drama, a snappy musical, or a thrilling Western, the streamer carries many great features from decades past.

Here's **'s list of the 20 best classic movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Ball of Fire (1941)

Gary Cooper as Professor Bertram Potts and Barbara Stanwyck as Katherine 'Sugarpuss' O'Shea in 'Ball of Fire'.

John Springer Collection/Corbis/Corbis via Getty

With a name like Katherine "Sugarpuss" O'Shea, how can you not be intrigued? Such is the case for the group of professors living together in *Ball of Fire*, a screwball comedy classic from one of the genre's masters, Howard Hawks. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Sugarpuss, who works as a nightclub performer and meets one of the group's younger professors, the handsome Bertram (Gary Cooper). Sugarpuss is also involved with a powerful mob boss, so she uses the professors' house as a hideout while trying to evade the police and teaches them a thing or two about the real world. Stanwyck deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for her effervescent performance. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *Ball of Fire*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Howard Hawks

**Cast:** Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

Harold Russell as Homer Parrish and Dana Andrews as Fred Derry in 'The Best Years of Our Lives'. Everett Collection

Released in the aftermath of World War II, *The Best Years of Our Lives* is one of the very best films about American veterans' postwar experience. The film tracks the lives of three vets who return to their hometown, bonded over the traumas of war. One suffers from debilitating PTSD, another turns to alcohol to cope, while the third has to readjust to everyday life after losing both of his hands. The sensitively crafted epic won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Best Years of Our Lives*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** William Wyler

**Cast:** Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo, Harold Russell

Bicycle Thieves (1948)

Lamberto Maggiorani as Antonio Ricci and Lianella Carell as Maria Ricci in 'Bicycle Thieves'.

ullstein bild/ullstein bild via Getty

This profoundly affecting Italian neorealist classic conveys so much even with a relatively simple premise. Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) hopes to provide for his family by getting a job that requires a bicycle. Scraping together the money to purchase a bike at a pawn shop, Antonio is mortified when a thief steals his bike on his first day on the job, leading him and his young son Bruno (Enzo Staiola) down an increasingly hopeless path to get it back. Casting then-nonprofessional actors Maggiorani and Staiola brings an inherent authenticity to the film, which starkly depicts life on the poverty line in postwar Italy. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Bicycle Thieves*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Vittorio De Sica

**Cast:** Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola, Lianella Carell

The Bishop's Wife (1947)

James Gleason as Sylvester, Cary Grant as Dudley, and Loretta Young as Julia Brougham in 'The Bishop's Wife'.

When bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) prays for heavenly guidance, his prayers are answered by the prompt arrival of Dudley (Cary Grant), a smooth-tongued angel who installs himself as the bishop's assistant. However, Dudley's plan to help the spiritually needy takes a turn when he develops feelings for Julia (Loretta Young), Henry's wife. A bishop/bishop's wife/angel love triangle is an unusual premise, but the film, held together by Grant's effortless charm, manages to be both a romantic comedy and a careful fable about charity. —*Danny Horn*

Where to watch *The Bishop's Wife*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Henry Koster

**Cast:** Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven

Charade (1963)

Walter Matthau as Carson Dyle and Audrey Hepburn as Regina 'Reggie' Lampert in 'Charade'.

A thrilling comedy romp through Paris, *Charade* sizzles with wit and hectic suspense. After Regina (Audrey Hepburn) learns that her estranged husband died mysteriously, she's threatened by several menacing men who demand an explanation for a cache of stolen money that she knows nothing about. The only person Regina can trust is a handsome stranger she meets by chance (a deliciously arch Cary Grant), although his name and motivations keep changing as she learns more about him. Hepburn and Grant play to their respective strengths, while the film transitions from silly to serious and back again. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Charade*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Stanley Donen

**Cast:** Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau

City Lights (1931)

Amazon Prime has numerous Charlie Chaplin classics among its streaming collection, but this 1931 romantic dramedy is the cream of the crop. Chaplin stars as his signature Little Tramp character, who falls in love with a young blind woman who mistakes him for a millionaire. After he befriends an actual millionaire, the Tramp hopes to secure the funds to help restore the woman's sight. EW's critic calls *City Lights* a "consummate weeper," a touching tale that's sure to make you dissolve into happy tears by its conclusion. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *City Lights*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** A+

**Director:** Charlie Chaplin

**Cast:** Charlie Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia

The Conversation (1974)

Gene Hackman as Harry Caul in 'The Conversation'.

In an era filled with paranoia thrillers that reflected the growing distrust of institutions (largely stemming from the Watergate scandal), *The Conversation* stands above the rest. Gene Hackman stars as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert tasked by a client with monitoring a couple in San Francisco's Union Square. After he hears them discussing the threat of murder, Harry becomes troubled — especially after his recordings are stolen. With first-rate sound work and a committed performance by Hackman, *The Conversation* is a gripping time capsule that also resonates in today's surveillance-heavy world. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Conversation*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Francis Ford Coppola

**Cast:** Gene Hackman, Harrison Ford, John Cazale, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest**

Funny Girl (1968)

Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice in 'Funny Girl'.

This stage-to-screen adaptation is a showcase for Barbra Streisand, who sings, acts, and roller-skates through the film with unstoppable energy. *Funny Girl* is based on the life of vaudeville artist Fanny Brice, tracking the rise of her career and her rocky relationship with professional gambler Nicky Arnstein (Omar Sharif). EW's critic praises Streisand's transition from the Broadway role, writing, "It's amazing how cinematic her screen performance is, as she acts through standards like 'People' and 'Don't Rain on My Parade' rather than just belting them out." —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Funny Girl*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** William Wyler

**Cast:** Barbra Streisand, Omar Sharif, Kay Medford

Guys and Dolls (1955)

A high-class musical comedy about low-rent gamblers and seedy gangsters, *Guys and Dolls* transports the viewer to a colorful fantasy version of the New York underworld, where guys in flashy suits follow a single rule: no welshing on a bet. Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) is trying to earn some dough, so he bets Sky Masterson (Marlon Brando, in his only musical) that he can't make a date with the pious sister from the Save-a-Soul Mission (Jean Simmons). The showstopper is Brando's "Luck Be a Lady," delivered during a craps game in New York's cleanest sewer. —*D.H.*

Upon wishing that he was never born, he attracts the attention of guardian angel Clarence Odbody, who listens to George's story and shows him what the world would be like without him. Director Frank Capra injects optimism and warmth into the dark premise, expressing the always-timely message that everyone is connected and everybody matters. —*D.H.*

The Little Foxes (1941)

Bette Davis as Regina Hubbard Giddens in 'The Little Foxes'.

Three scheming siblings jockey for money and power in *The Little Foxes*, a stirring melodrama starring Bette Davis as the villainous Regina. Their fight for control of a cotton mill consumes the family in a complex game of betrayal, blackmail, and loveless marriages, with the predatory Regina reigning above all. Davis' commanding performance garnered one of her five consecutive Oscar nominations for Best Actress, as she steals the show with an icy glare and a razor-sharp tongue. The callous climax in which Regina tells her husband how she really feels about him is devastating — and fascinating. —*D.H.*

**Director:** William Wyler

**Cast:** Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, Teresa Wright

Liza With a "Z" (1972)

The year was 1972. Liza Minnelli was receiving rave reviews for her performance in *Cabaret*, which was released in February and eventually won her the Best Actress Oscar. Then, in September, she starred in this dazzling concert special, cementing her status as one of the greats. The 53-minute special features Minnelli at her best, belting out American standards to an eager crowd and ending with a sensational medley of songs from *Cabaret*. It's good old-fashioned entertainment from a world-class entertainer. —*K.J.*

**Director:** Bob Fosse

**Cast:** Liza Minnelli

My Man Godfrey (1936)

Carole Lombard as Irene Bullock and William Powell as Godfrey Parke in 'My Man Godfrey'.

*My Man Godfrey* is a gem of the screwball era, a social satire with rapid-fire witty dialogue. Carole Lombard plays Irene, the younger daughter in a family that's wealthy, though they'd rather you call them "eccentric." During a scavenger hunt, Irene discovers a "forgotten man" named Godfrey (William Powell), hires him as the new butler, and declares that he's her protégé. Godfrey takes to buttling and manages to tame the batty family — except for Irene, who keeps insisting that they love each other. —*D.H.*

Penny Serenade (1941)

Cary Grant as Roger Adams and Irene Dunne as Julie Gardiner in 'Penny Serenade'.

Cary Grant and Irene Dunne play the doting parents of an adopted child in this sentimental favorite about the power of familial love. Roger and Julie fall for each other and get married, but their dream of raising a child is dashed when Julie loses their unborn child during an earthquake. Hoping to adopt a 2-year-old boy, they bring home a 5-week-old girl instead — and fall head over heels in love with her. Their efforts to prove to the orphanage and the court that they're fit parents are both comical and deeply affecting. —*D.H.*

**Director:** George Stevens

**Cast:** Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Beulah Bondi, Edgar Buchanan

Stagecoach (1939)

George Bancroft as Curley, John Wayne as Henry the Ringo Kid, and Claire Trevor as Dallas in 'Stagecoach'.

*Stagecoach* was John Wayne's breakthrough film, boosting him from B-movies and straight onto the A-list. The story concerns a group of strangers brought together by circumstance, traveling on a stage bound for New Mexico through dangerous Apache territory. The mixed bag of passengers includes a sex worker, a pregnant wife, an alcoholic doctor, a stuffy banker, a shifty gambler, and Wayne as Ringo the Kid — an escaped convict who's gunning for the men who killed his brother. Wayne shines in both quiet moments and the fast-paced chase sequence when the stagecoach is attacked. It was the first of many hard-fighting everyman roles for the Duke. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Stagecoach*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** John Ford

**Cast:** Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Andy Devine, John Carradine

A Star Is Born (1937)

Fredric March as Norman Maine and Janet Gaynor as Esther Blodgett in 'A Star Is Born'.

It's the quintessential Hollywood story: A naive girl leaves the farm to make it big as a movie star, works as a waitress at a swanky party, and catches the eye of a passing bigwig. Esther (played by a sparkling Janet Gaynor) gets her big break when she meets Norman (Fredric March), a well-known actor on the verge of a steep downturn in his own career. You may be familiar with one of this movie's three remakes, which recast the main character as a singer. Watch this version for a nostalgic tour through the mythology of vintage Tinseltown. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *A Star Is Born*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** William A. Wellman

**Cast:** Janet Gaynor, Fredric March

Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928)

Ernest Torrence as William 'Steamboat Bill' Canfield Sr. and Buster Keaton as William Canfield Jr. in 'Steamboat Bill Jr.'.

*Steamboat Bill Jr.* is a true classic starring the king of deadpan physical comedy. Ernest Torrence plays a gruff steamboat captain who is astonished when his son (Buster Keaton) returns from college as a slim, mild-mannered sensitive type with a beret, a mustache, and a ukulele. Bill's attempts to toughen Bill Jr. up are continually undermined (even choosing the proper hat becomes a hilarious four-minute set piece). The cyclone sequence at the end notably includes one of Keaton's best-known stunts, in which he avoids being flattened by the falling front side of a house by standing right where an open window lands. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Steamboat Bill Jr*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Charles Reisner

**Cast:** Buster Keaton, Ernest Torrence, Marion Byron

Stella Dallas (1937)

Barbara Stanwyck as Stella Dallas in 'Stella Dallas'.

Stella (Barbara Stanwyck), a working-class woman aspiring to a higher station, marries a rich man (John Boles) and has a daughter, Laurel. As Stella and Stephen drift apart, she puts all her energy into raising Laurel, ultimately making great sacrifices to give her daughter a better life. *Stella Dallas* is a great character piece for Stanwyck, who earned her first Academy Award nomination by nailing Stella's brassy, comedic side and her grand, tear-jerking devotion to her daughter's happiness. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Stella Dallas*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** King Vidor

**Cast:** Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley

The Third Man (1949)

This indelible film noir has some of the best cinematography (and storytelling) to be found in the classic genre. Joseph Cotten plays Holly Martins, an American author in postwar Vienna hoping to secure a job from his friend. The only problem? His friend has suffered an accidental death, leading Holly to investigate what exactly happened. Falling in love with his friend's girlfriend in the process, Holly eventually uncovers a shocking truth, turning the whole narrative on its head. Let's just say there's never been a more impactful "character stepping out of the shadows" moment in all of cinema. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Third Man*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Carol Reed

**Cast:** Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard

Wuthering Heights (1939)

Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon as Catherine Earnshaw Linton in 'Wuthering Heights'.

If you're going to watch an adaptation of Emily Brontë's *Wuthering Heights*, we insist on the original: Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon's 1939 masterpiece of doomed romance on the wild moors. Heathcliff and Catherine have loved each other since childhood, but their class difference separates them until Heathcliff returns to Wuthering Heights with a fortune, determined to win her away from her husband. Catherine and Heathcliff are passionate, frustrating, willful creatures, so entangled with love, hate, and revenge that it consumes them — and everyone around them. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Wuthering Heights*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** William Wyler

**Cast:** Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon, David Niven
