He's 41 now. Been working for decades. Appeared in dozens of movies. Served as the Internet's punching bag. Now he's rethinking his priorities.
For two decades, in more than thirty movies, Jake Gyllenhaal has played all manner of complicated men: sleazeballs, bruisers, obsessives, ex-cons, bad cops, good cops, the schizoaffective, and five wid-owers. At his best, he is one of the finest actors we've got—capable of plumbing the depths of masculine feeling that most of us spend our lives trying to bury. His reputation has been forged from such portrayals; he's received nominations for both an Oscar and a Tony. You'd have trouble finding a story about him that doesn't mention his total devotion to the craft, or the sadness lurking behind those puppy-dog eyes. Here's a man who has earned fame, and also a measure of power, while avoiding—until very recently—the worst trappings of celebrity. The best stuff is going fast, so don't hesitate. Don't want to sort through everything? Don't worry. We've collected the best of the best for you. The Brat Pack ran the '80s. Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy were the stars everyone looked up to—and the friend group everyone wanted to be part of. At least two of these actors (and sometimes more) costarred in over 10 hit coming-of-age films throughout the decade, including Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), Pretty in Pink (1986), and About Last Night (1986), among many others. Take a look back at the Brat Pack's best moments throughout the years—as well as the actors with some unofficial members of the group, like Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, and more. Score major savings on everything from throw pillows to a bread maker. You'll want to snag these as quickly as possible. The best of Netflix's slate of documentaries provide crucial perspectives on our weird world. Though if we're being honest, it can be hard to parse through the annals of Netlfix's infamous algorithm to find which films are worth your time. Is it finally time to watch Seaspiracy (and maybe swear off fish from your diet) or is it time to rev your metaphorical engine and cue up the Formula 1-focused Schumacher? Perhaps it's time to scale the highest mountains of the world, all from the comfort of your couch. To help you out, we've narrowed down the list of the best documentaries on Netflix, no matter if you're looking to expand your mind or your true crime trivia knowledge. |
