经典
- 格伦加里格伦罗斯(Glengarry Glen Ross)：来自剧作家大卫马梅特(David Mamet)，这部电影星光熠熠，阿尔帕西诺(Al Pacino)、埃德哈里斯(Ed Harris)、杰克莱蒙(Jack Lemmon)和凯文史(Kevin Spacey)派西出演。亚历克鲍德温(Alec Baldwin)出现在一个场景中，他的独白被广泛认为是完美的表演。
喜剧
- 法戈(Fargo)：弗朗西斯·麦克多曼德在这部关于(McDormand)明尼阿波利斯(Minneapolis)的汽车推销员杰里·伦德加德（ Jerry Lundegaard ）的喜剧中很搞笑，他雇佣了两名罪犯绑架了自己的妻子。为一些令人发指的明尼苏达口音和(Minnesota)Hoopla(Brace)上最好的喜剧之一做好准备(Hoopla)。
犯罪
- 怪物(Monster)：你几乎认不出查理兹·塞隆(Charlize Theron)饰演的连环杀手。这部电影还主演了克里斯蒂娜·里奇（ Christina Ricci），扮演的角色离周三亚当斯（Wedded Addams(Wednesday Addams) ）最远。
记录
- 我不是你的黑人(I Am Not Your Negro)：作者詹姆斯鲍德温(James Baldwin)是个天才，这部出色的纪录片将他关于暗杀小马丁路德金(Martin Luther King)、马尔科姆 X(Malcolm X)和梅德加埃弗斯(Medgar Evers)的文章与今天的#BlackLivesMatter运动联系起来。
戏剧
- 塞尔玛和路易丝(Thelma & Louise)：吉娜戴维斯(Davis)和苏珊萨兰登(Susan Sarandon)主演了有史以来最好的公路旅行电影之一。直到布拉德皮特(Brad Pitt)在这部电影中的表演，他才被认为是性感的象征。

历史
- 晚安，祝你好运(Good Night, And Good Luck)：这部历史剧由乔治克鲁尼执导，在(George Clooney)参议院常设(Senate Permanent Subcommittee)调查(Investigations)小组委员会举行的听证会上突出了受人尊敬的电视记者爱德华·默罗(Edward R. Murrow)和受到谴责的反共美国参议员约瑟夫·麦卡锡(Senator Joseph McCarthy)之间的冲突。
恐怖
- 万圣节：如果你还没有看过(Halloween)约翰·卡彭特(John Carpenter)导演的1978 年原版万圣节(Halloween)，请帮自己一个忙，今晚观看。这部电影让杰米李柯蒂斯(Jamie Lee Curtis)家喻户晓，并为跨越 11 部电影的特许经营奠定了基础。这可能是有史以来最好的恐怖片，当然也是Hoopla上最好的恐怖片之一。
独立
- 教授与疯子(The Professor And The Madman)：根据西蒙·温彻斯特的畅销小说改编，这部电影由梅尔·吉布森(Mel Gibson)饰演威廉·切斯特·米诺（ William Chester Minor），一位退休的美国陆军(U.S. Army)外科医生，布罗德莫犯罪精神病院的病人，以及《(Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum)牛津英语词典(Oxford English Dictionary)》的主要撰稿人.
音乐
- 成吉思蓝调(Genghis Blues)：这部电影讲述了盲人歌手保罗佩纳(Paul Pena)前往俄罗斯图瓦(Tuva)共和国(Russian Republic)学习泛音歌唱的迷人故事。图瓦喉舌(Tuvan)歌手基本上同时唱两个音符。这是野生的。

神秘
- 纪念品(Memento)：在看之前不要读任何关于这部电影的东西，在有人为你毁掉它之前马上(right now)去看。
浪漫
- 尖端(The Cutting Edge)：这绝对是一种有罪的乐趣。一个傲慢的曲棍球运动员和一个自命不凡的滑冰运动员联手为奥运会(Olympics)而战。这太荒谬了。
科学
- 种子(Seed)：正如这部纪录片所揭示的，“十家化工公司控制着三分之二的种子市场。” 这很可怕，但有一些英雄捍卫食物的未来。您将在这部屡获殊荣的纪录片中了解所有关于它们的信息。
科幻与奇幻
- 银河系漫游指南(The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy)：可悲的是，作者道格拉斯亚当斯(Douglas Adams)在这部电影完成之前就去世了，但像斯蒂芬弗莱(Stephen Fry)这样的朋友帮助保持了这本书的真实性。
运动的
- 愤怒的公牛(Raging Bull)：罗伯特·德尼罗(Robert De Niro)凭借在这部电影中的表演获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角奖。有人称其为杰作——导演马丁·斯科塞斯的最佳作品。事实上，美国电影协会(American Film Institute)将其列为有史以来第四大美国电影。
悬疑/惊悚
- 通常的嫌疑人(The Usual Suspects)：这是另一部电影，您最好在观看之前避免阅读有关它的任何内容。演员阵容强大，文笔流畅。
西部片
- 壮丽的七人(The Magnificent Seven)组：如果你听说过史蒂夫·麦昆(Steve McQueen)、查尔斯·布朗森(Charles Bronson)或詹姆斯·科本(James Coburn)，这部电影就是原因。观看它，您会看到枪手大师与掠夺性强盗。如果您是西部片的粉丝，那么它是目前 Hoopla 上最好的免费电影之一。(free movies)

Children’s
- Shaun The Sheep: Hoopla has a large children’s collection. Shaun the Sheep is a spin-off of the beloved Wallace and Gromit franchise, and parents might even enjoy this one as much as the kids.
Classics
- Glengarry Glen Ross: From playwright David Mamet, this film is star-studded with appearances from Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. Alec Baldwin appears in a single scene, and his monologue is widely regarded as a perfect performance.
Comedy
- Fargo: Frances McDormand is hilarious in this comedy about Jerry Lundegaard, a car salesman in Minneapolis who hires two criminals to kidnap his own wife. Brace yourself for some outrageous Minnesota accents and one of the best comedies on Hoopla.
Crime
- Monster: You’ll barely recognize Charlize Theron as she portrays a serial killer. This film also stars Christina Ricci in a role about as far from Wednesday Addams as you can get.
Documentary
- I Am Not Your Negro: Author James Baldwin was a genius, and this excellent documentary connects his writing about the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers to the #BlackLivesMatter movement of today.
Drama
- Thelma & Louise: Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon star in one of the best road trip movies of all time. Brad Pitt wasn’t even considered a sex symbol until his performance in this movie.
Educational
- An Introductory Guide To Wine: Learn what the sommelier is talking about. This movie will teach you what to look for when choosing a wine.
Faith & Inspiration
- Harriet Tubman | They Called Her Moses: In Spanish with English subtitles, this documentary features interviews with scholars and experts from the Smithsonian Institute and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
Family
- Daddy Day Care: What would it be like to have Eddie Murphy as a babysitter? The whole family will get a kick out of this one.
Health & Fitness
- In Defense of Food: Food reporter Michael Pollan’s advice is, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Even knowing that, you’ll still get a lot out of this production. Pollan makes learning how to eat healthy fun and interesting.
History
- Good Night, And Good Luck: Directed by George Clooney, this historical drama highlights the conflict between revered TV journalist Edward R. Murrow and censured anti-Communist U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy amid hearings held by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Horror
- Halloween: If you haven’t seen the original 1978 version of Halloween directed by John Carpenter, do yourself a favor and watch it tonight. This film made Jamie Lee Curtis a household name and set the stage for a franchise spanning eleven movies. It might be the best slasher film of all time and is certainly one of the best horror movies on Hoopla.
Indie
- The Professor And The Madman: Based on Simon Winchester’s best-selling novel, this movie stars Mel Gibson as William Chester Minor, a retired U.S. Army surgeon, patient at the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, and key contributor to the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Musicals
- Across the Universe: Directed by Julie Taymor who brought The Lion King to Broadway, this film combines live action with 3D animation, with an all-Beatles soundtrack.
Mystery
- Memento: Don’t read anything about this film before you watch it, and go watch it right now before someone ruins it for you.
Romance
- The Cutting Edge: This one definitely qualifies as a guilty pleasure. A brash hockey player and a stuck-up ice skater join forces and shoot for the Olympics. It’s just so ridiculous.
Science
- Seed: As this documentary reveals, “Ten chemical companies control two-thirds of the seed market.” That’s terrifying, but there are some heroes defending the future of food. You’ll learn all about them in this award-winning documentary.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy: Sadly, author Douglas Adams died before this film was completed, but friends like Stephen Fry helped keep it true to the book.

Suspense/Thriller
- The Usual Suspects: This is another film where you’re better off avoiding reading anything about it before you watch. The cast is stellar, and the writing is tight.
Westerns
- The Magnificent Seven: If you’ve ever heard of Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, or James Coburn, this movie is why. Watch it and you’ll see master gunmen vs. marauding bandits. If you’re a fan of westerns, it’s one of the best free movies on Hoopla right now.
