4. Still Alice (2014)
Based on Lisa Genova’s novel of the same name and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, ‘Still Alice’ tells the story of Dr. Alice Howland (Julianne Moore), a renowned linguistics professor at Columbia University.

She struggles to maintain her sense of identity in the face of her failing memory, and the experience takes a toll on her loved ones as well. You can watch it here.
3. Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005)
Adapted from Chris Van Allsburg’s children’s book ‘Zathura’ and directed by Jon Favreau, ‘Zathura: A Space Adventure’ follows brothers Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and Danny (Jonah Bobo), who are left confined to their home under the care of their teenage sister, Lisa (Kristen Stewart), when their father gets called into work. While coming up with ways to spend the day, they receive a pleasant surprise as they discover an old space-themed board game. The duo starts to play, only to realize that the game has mystical powers and has transported their house into space, making the stakes very real. The only way to return to the real world is to make it to the end. You can stream the science fiction action-adventure film right here.
2. Camp X-Ray (2014)
In Peter Sattler’s ‘Camp X-Ray,’ Stewart features as Amy Cole, a soldier stationed at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. She forms an unlikely bond with one of the detainees, Ali Amir (Payman Maadi), who has been apparently held there for 8 years without any reason. As Amy keeps herself emotionally distant from other hostile detainees and aggressive, sexist peers, we see her put her guard down when she is interacting with Ali, who also opens up to her. Where their bond is headed depends on the ethics of Guantanamo Bay, which has remained questionable for decades. Intimate, moving, and powerful, ‘Camp X-Ray’ is a must-watch. It can be streamed here.
