‘The End of Oak Street’ and the Top Five 'Twilight Zone' Movies. Plus: Will Poulter!

X-Men 2028

Jake Schreier directing; Christopher Abbott as Xavier, Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister, Kit Connor and Sadie Sink leading a deliberately Gen-Z cast. No Wolverine or Magneto announced.

Avengers: Doomsday 2026

Second trailer read as a market improvement, dramatic stakes at last, but still shot in front of a giant green screen. Downey's Latverian accent the highlight.

Star Wars: Starfighter 2027

Teaser framed around the ship, not the cast. Gosling plays Cade Oberon; set five years after the First Order.

Gato 2027

Pixar mafia-cat movie set in Venice; hand-painted look drew the biggest response of the night.

Incredibles 3

Peter Sohn directing, not Brad Bird.

Coco 2 2029

Frozen 3 2027

The Bluey Movie 2027

Slightly heightened animation style; an easy $500M given how encoded the show is for parents.

The Last House 2026

Louis Leterrier's No. 1 Netflix movie: a family sealed inside their home by sentient rain that turns out to be a Lovecraftian monster picture. Greta Lee and Wagner Moura cashing in; a literalization of Bowfinger's 'Chubby Rain.'

The End of Oak Street 2026

David Robert Mitchell's 92-minute Amblin-by-way-of-Twilight-Zone dinosaur movie. A wormhole drops a suburban block into prehistory. Anne Hathaway great, Ewan McGregor the weak link (and killed two-thirds in). Mean kills, a portal-reset ending that spawns two Jeanettes.

The Truman Show 1998

No. 1. Met the prompt and became its own reference point; had her checking for cameras for years.

Moon 2009

Sam Rockwell and a twist about confronting another version of yourself.

Arrival 2016

Perception of time as the real reveal; among the best films of the century.

Get Out 2017

The sunken place; Peele's most overtly Twilight Zone film.

Groundhog Day 1993

Slotted at five only because Sean already had it.

The Game 1997

No. 1. Fincher's how-fucked-up-are-yuppies birthday nightmare.

Shutter Island 2010

One of the great twists; truly one of the saddest movies of the 2010s.

The Swimmer 1968

Frank Perry's Cheever adaptation; sat at No. 1 until the last second.

Field of Dreams 1989

Shared favorite with Mallory; a cornfield voice as a clean Twilight Zone premise.

It Ends 2024

Alexander Allen's never-ending road-trip time loop.

Seconds 1966

No. 1. Frankenheimer's new-body-new-life horror; Shutter Island before Shutter Island.

Groundhog Day 1993

The comic entry, watched 700 times as a kid.

The Quiet Earth 1985

New Zealand last-man-alive picture.

Repeat Performance 1947

A pre-Twilight-Zone noir time loop that plays shockingly modern.

The Vast of Night 2019

Andrew Patterson's modestly budgeted radio-signal wonder.

Union County 2026

Adam Meeks's debut docufiction, made with an Ohio drug-court recovery community and its real director, Annette Dio. Poulter plays the withdrawn Cody opposite Noah Centineo's gregarious Jack.

Hook 1991

His favorite film of all time; wanted to be a Lost Boy.

Son of Rambow 2007

His first film, shot on a school summer holiday.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 2010

His mother and sister came along; his father took a sabbatical.

Warfare 2025

Where he and Centineo bonded, 17-hour days across two months, before Union County.

One Battle After Another 2025

Cited PTA and DiCaprio on how many non-professional actors changed the energy.

Omaha 2025

Cole Webley's film; a devastating recent watch, John Magaro strong.

Come See Me in the Good Light 2025

Oscar-nominated documentary; his other 'last great thing.'
