Dolly Parton united us all—and that's far from an exaggeration. After the music icon's death at 80 yesterday, tributes are pouring in from all over the world. Whichever few Dolly albums you're rocking in her honor, let me add a recommendation: a movie. (Yes, she could act too. Because of course she could.) We put together the three most essential Dolly Parton films below. —Brady Langmann, senior entertainment editor

Though the American icon starred in just under ten films across her career, each was memorable in its own right.

Rest in peace to Dolly Parton, one of the few people on the planet we can say is truly universally loved without it being even the slightest exaggeration.
On Tuesday, August 25, the music legend’s family released a statement announcing that she had passed, and the tributes rightly flooded in. Parton was known for writing some of the greatest songs of the 20th century—not least “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “9 to 5”—and her music resonated with people from all walks of life all over the world.
However, some may not know that Parton also enjoyed a career as an actress. Though she starred in just under ten films across her career, each was memorable in its own right. We’ve picked out our three favorites on the Esquire team that we think you should give a watch (or rewatch, even) to pay tribute to the music industry’s most lovable icon.

I could lie to you. I could say the cheapest ice chest is the best one for the money, or I could find a link to a direct-to-consumer brand that is trying desperately to disrupt the world of rotomolded coolers. Sometimes the cheapest thing is the best thing—I’m not denying that. I’ll gladly tell you to keep buying Chuck Taylors and Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans. But sometimes in life, you need to put some money down. You need to invest. Yeti is worth it. Why? Because it works, sure. Because it looks better than the rest with the roped handles, classic logo, and bear-proof toggles. Because in a quest for newness, Yeti has started making seasonal color drops that have made the brand more fun than ever.
But really, it comes down to status, vanity, which a magazine like this one is all about. When I’m at a tailgate and my brother wants to talk about his “Cheaper than Yeti coolers that are just as good as Yeti,” I say: “Yeah, but which one looks better to the people grabbing beers out of it?” He concedes, Yeti. Case closed.

Omega has launched seven new versions of the Speedmaster 38, ranging from a stripped-back black no-date model to two flashy diamond-set editions.
And the entire collection has been cleaned up, too. The oval sub-dials introduced to the Speedmaster 38 in 2017 have been replaced by conventional round counters, there is less text on the dial, and the bezels are broader and now incorporate the fan-favorite “dot over 90” detail associated with the Moonwatch.
