Interesting movies to start the new year with

Updated: Jan 24, 2022

  1. Tick, Tick, Boom…


“Tick, Tick, Boom…” is based on the autobiographical musical of the great playwright Johnathan Larson. The author of ‘Rent’ wrote this story about the struggles of budding composers living below the poverty line (all the 9th graders pay attention) just before he turned 30 in the late 1980s.


The movie follows John Larson played by Andrew Garfield (the best spiderman in my opinion, fight me) as he explains who he was as a person before all the awards, the fame, the sold out shows and before he died.


It introduces us to his friends, comrades and his inspirations.


  1. Single all the way


This is the perfect christmas romcom.


It follows to best friends, peter (played by Michael Urie) and Nick (Philemon Chambers), on their journey for love (*wiggles eyebrows*). Peter asks Nick to pretend to be his boyfriend so that his family would stop pestering him for being single.


At first Nick refuses but after some convincing, nay, begging he agrees. Will they fall in love? Obviously. But this is a hilariously lovely story.


  1. Yeh ballet


This is a hidden gem as it is not so popular but is truly unique and beautiful.


Two Mumbai teens from different families but with the same burning passion for dancing meet an eccentric ballet master who changes their life forever.


It is a story of self discovery and acceptance.


I would say more but the beauty of this film is unexpected and to spoil it would be cruel (cruella de’vile)



  1. Don't look up


The dramedy “Don’t look up” provides an unique insight on the topic of humanity’s ignorance of what actually matters (basically everyday life). The casting director Francine Maisler has selected an all-star cast with big names.


The story follows astronomy professor Randall Mindy (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and his PhD. student Kate Dibiasky (played by Jennifer Lawrence) when they discover a comet whose trajectory will lead to a direct collision with Earth in a little over six months.


Recovering critical information, they decide to take it to the white house. But the President is too preoccupied with her endangered Supreme Court pick to focus on what Randall describes as an extinction-level event.


5. Harlen Coben’s STAY CLOSE


Stay Close is a British crime drama miniseries based on the 2012 Harlan Coben novel of the same title.


Megan Shaw (played by Cush Jumbo) is a soccer mom with a more than happy life with her wonderful husband and two beautiful kids.


But when she is confronted by a few old “friends” she is forced to confront her complicated and mysterious past.
