When asked on the YouTube interview show “Hot Ones” what he expects people to get from his new streaming travelogue series “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” the former late-night-television host responds in his usual comedic manner. 

With David Leitch’s love letter to stunt professionals, “The Fall Guy” hitting theaters, and rumblings of a potential Academy Award for stunts on the horizon (something Leitch has advocated for), it’s the perfect time to fire up some of the best movies with the finest stunts that you can find on streaming. Of course this is in no way a comprehensive list, just some suggestions to get the juices flowing during your pre- or post- “Fall Guy” streaming session.

By the time Luca Guadagnino’s erotically charged tennis film “Challengers” reaches its breathless, sweaty, pulse-pounding and deeply satisfying climax, you’ll be reaching for a cigarette, so to speak. Rarely is a film so sensorially captivating, every element of cinema, including script, cinematography, editing, score and performance blending together to create such a fizzy, frenzied brew, a chemical reaction of rage and lust sizzling with bubbling ferocity.

America, it appears, is obsessed with crime. Or, at least, with true-crime programming

Sydney Sweeney isn't letting critics ruin a vacation filled with "good times and tan lines." That's how the "Madame Web" and "Immaculate" actor captioned a post on Sunday that could be construed as a subtle clapback to producer Carol Baum's disparaging comments about her talent and looks earlier this month.

Filmmaker John de Graaf interviewed former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall in 1988 for a documentary about David Brower, a prominent environmentalist and leader of the Sierra Club. More than three decades later, de Graaf released his documentary about Udall, “Stewart Udall: The Politics of Beauty.”

A film about the life of legendary comedian Chris Farley is reportedly in the works, with Paul Walter Hauser signed on to star in the main role and Josh Gad set to make his directorial debut.

Guy Ritchie’s latest, the cumbersomely titled “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is at once his “Inglourious Basterds” and also his “Dunkirk.” 

When it comes to movies based on real-life events, it’s clear that authenticity typically counts less than a good storyline.

Henry Cavill is going from "The Witcher" to the witching hour: The actor is expecting his first child with entertainment executive Natalie Viscuso, The Times has confirmed.

The filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, made up of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and producer Chad Villella, struck black (comedy) gold with their 2019 horror thriller “Ready or Not,” about a young bride, played by Samara Weaving, who has to battle her way out of a murderous game hosted by her wealthy soon-to-be in-laws.

BEND, Ore. – My family used to go to Blockbuster every Friday. Walking to the store on 19th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan, we’d wander through the aisles of DVDs, negotiating what to rent for our weekly ritual of making pizzas and watching movies, and I’d try to sweet-talk my way into a Nerds Rope or a box of watermelon Sour Patch Kids.

It was while I was watching Geoffrey Wright’s 1992 film “Romper Stomper” that I first noticed how it’s sometimes difficult not to root for the bad guy. And make no mistake, Russell Crowe’s character of Hando – a brutal, vicious Australian Nazi skinhead – is the quintessential bad guy.

Renée Zellweger is going back to her roots as the two-time Academy Award winner is set to star in yet another “Bridget Jones” film.

Anamaria Marinca has a knack for playing characters you’d want in your corner during a crisis. The Romanian actress, who starred in Cristian Mungiu’s harrowing abortion thriller “4 Months, 3 weeks and 2 Days,” is the eye of the storm in Goran Stolevski’s “Housekeeping for Beginners,” a riveting domestic drama that finds her similarly raging against the machine. No one smokes a cigarette with ...

Dev Patel’s got something to say, but he's going to let his fists do the talking. With his directorial debut, the wild action revenge flick “Monkey Man,” the Oscar-nominated actor makes a bold statement with this one-two punch of a film that asserts himself as both an action star and promising genre director. Having achieved his fame in more serious dramas like “Slumdog Millionaire” and ...

Louis Gossett Jr., an actor who brought authority to hundreds of screen roles, winning an Oscar as a Marine drill instructor in “An Officer and a Gentleman” and an Emmy Award as a wise, older guide to the enslaved Kunta Kinte in the groundbreaking miniseries “Roots,” died March 29 at a rehabilitation center in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 87.

Jerry Seinfeld and his all-star cast are “drunk on sugar-power” in the new trailer for “Unfrosted,” a film that chronicles Pop-Tarts’ origin story. That’s how the comedian described the film in a 2018 tweet when it was just a nebulous concept.

Before the titan-sized title of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” even flashes across the screen, director Adam Wingard has already delivered two impressively goopy moments courtesy of our lead characters: Kong rips a hyena-thing in half, green entrails spilling everywhere, while Godzilla squishes a bug in Rome, releasing great vats of yellow goo over the ancient city. It’s an indication of the colorfully excessive ethos that Wingard brings to this loaded monster jam, which is overflowing with titans, creatures and kaiju. Considering that much of the action takes place in the underworld known as Hollow Earth, you might even call this picture “stuffed crust.”
