Christopher Nolan reboots Bruce Wayne as a driven man who builds a symbol of fear against Gotham's corruption. Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, and Gary Oldman ground the fear and fury, and the training, the chases, and the escalating threat land big on a large screen. A returning classic from 2005 that still hits at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.2 on IMDb.

David Fincher drops cold financier Nicholas Van Orton into a game whose rules keep shifting until he cannot tell the charade from reality. Michael Douglas carries a tense, relentless mystery that tightens on a big screen. Note that screenings are thin this week and confined to a single venue, so plan ahead if you want it. It sits at 77% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.7 on IMDb.
