"Y Tu Mamá También" got director Alfonso Cuarón where he is today, directing some great movies from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" to "Gravity." It's a sweet, funny, but very sensual road trip movie, and you'll recognize a very young Diego Luna from "Rogue One."

While this isn't the Coen Brothers at their best, "Burn After Reading" is still a hilarious thriller with memorable performances from Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, and Frances McDormand that makes it worth revisiting.
