Spring is finally (lõpuks) just around the corner with summer nipping at its heels not long after. But then again, after nearly a year and some change since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, time feels like a linear progression of events and cycles and more like loose suggestion of, “Easter weekend? Sure I guess, why not!”

April finds Shrek 2 streaming on Hulu, just in time for the first film’s 20th anniversary, as well as a bunch of other fantastic picks like 28 Days Later, Butch Cassidy ja Sundance Kid, Warriorsja Red Dawn.

Read on for 10 of the best movies new to streaming services in April. There’s something for everyone.

28 Days Later

Danny Boyle injected new life into the shambling corpse of zombie horror with his 2004 post apocalyptic film 28 Days Later. Set four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus in a clandestine testing facility spreads throughout the UK, transforming those infected into ravenous man-eating monsters, a handful of survivors attempt to band together and find sanctuary among the ruins of society. A sizable breakout film for several notable actors including Cillian Murphy (Teke), Naomie Harris (kuuvalgus), and Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), 28 Days Later is a modern horror classic, and patient zero for zombie horror film’s second renaissance. — Toussaint Egan

Butch Cassidy ja Sundance Kid

Paul Newman and Robert Redford shine and smolder as the titular protagonists of George Roy Hill’s landmark 1969 western Butch Cassidy ja Sundance Kid. Written by the inimitable William Goldman (Kõik presidendi mehed, Princess Bride), the story follows Butch and Sundance who, amid the waning years of the Old West and on the run in the wake of an attempted train robbery gone wrong, attempt to escape to Bolivia while staying just enough steps ahead of the law. The film, which was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2003 and regularly sits among the list of the greatest American films ever produced, is a tense and enthralling adventure of mythic proportions. — TE

visa kaduma

John McTiernan’s (Hunt Red oktoober, Kiskja) 1988 film visa kaduma is widely recognized as one of the greatest American action films not just of its time, but of kõik-time and, depending on which circles of post-ironic cinephilia you happen to travel in, one of the most heartwarming Christmas movies ever produced. Bruce Willis stars in a career-defining role as John McClane, an NYPD officer who attempts to rescue his estranged wife when she and her coworkers are held hostage by a group of German terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). With nothing at his disposal but guts, guile, and a treasure trove of smart-ass quips and punchlines, John’s one-man war against Gruber and his team is a fantastically action-packed and entertaining film watch no matter what time of the year it is. Yippee Ki yay, motherfucker! — TE

Salakaval

Coming off the success of directing the first and third installments in the Saag horror series, 2010’s Salakaval sees James Wan exploring a supernatural domestic horror plot akin to Tobe Hooper (and Steven Spielberg’s) 1982 classic Poltergeist or Stuart Rosenberg’s Amityville Horror. Starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, the film follows Josh and Renée Lambert who, in the wake of their son Dalton’s lapse into a coma in the wake of a tragic accident, suspect that their new home is infested with malevolent spirits that mean both them and their family harm. — TE

My Cousin Vinny

My Cousin Vinny stars Scorsese regular Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini, an inexperienced small-time lawyer who is called upon to defend his younger cousin Bill (Ralph Macchio) when he and his friend Stan (Mitchell Whitfield) are arrested on charge of murder and robbery while travelling down south to celebrate their acceptance at UCLA. Vinny will have to marshal all his rhetorical finesse and wit, including the automotive expertise of his chiding his fiancée Mona Lisa Vito, convince the Southern townspeople and judge presiding over the case of their innocence. From Juhtlõng director Jonathan Lynn, the 1992 comedy earned Marisa Tomei her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and in the year since the film has been hailed by attorneys and legal professionals for its surprisingly (or depressingly, depending on which way you look at it) accurate depiction of courtroom procedure and trial interrogation strategy. — TE

Rühm

Situated alongside Francis Ford Coppola’s Apokalüpsis nüüd and Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny sai oma relva, Oliver Stone’s 1986 Rühm is lauded as one of the defining works in the cinematic trifecta of Vietnam War film canon. Inspired by Stone’s own experience serving in the war, the film stars Charlie Sheen as Chris Taylor, a young naïve American who chooses to volunteer to fight in Vietnam instead of going to college. Stone’s film has been heralded by critics and historians as a shrewd and bracing examination of the brutality of war and the distressing mutability of virtue under duress. — TE

Red Dawn

Hankering for some certified classic ’80s anti-Soviet agitprop starring a cast of plucky fresh-faced teens waging guerilla war against hapless paratroopers? Sure you are! John Milius’ 1984 film channels directly into the zeitgeist of fears and anxieties that plagued the West during the Cold War era and reifies them into the unthinkable: an invasion on American soil perpetrated by Soviet forces. Patrick Sawyze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Charlie Sheen star as a group of teens who, witnessing the invasion firsthand in their hometown of Calumet, Colorado, band together to resist the occupation, dubbing themselves the “Wolverines” after their high school mascot and pushing the invasion back on the eve of World War III. — TE

Shrek 2

mõnedkeha once told me that Shrek, the 2001 animated comedy starring Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy as a flatulent ill-tempered troll and his talking donkey of a best friend was celebrating its 20 year anniversary this year. Shrek 2, the 2004 follow up to the original helmed by returning director Andrew Adamson and joined by Kelly Asbury (Vaim: Cimarroni täkk) and Conrad Vernon (Madagaskari pingviinid), is considered by many to be the highwater mark for the franchise, honing in on the elements that made the original such a surprise runaway classic while deepening the exploration of Shrek’s relationship with his love interest Fiona through a “meet the parents” plotline filled with colorful characters and fairytale mischief. Much like ogres and onions, Shrek 2 has layers. — TE

Tossud

Sneakers is the feel-good crime comedy of the 1990s. With a cast to rival Ocean's 11, sealhulgas Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier ja David Strathairn, kohtub vana kooli karjäärikurjategijate ja häkkeritega, kes otsivad asja hankida. Kuid asi ja süžee mahhinatsioonid pole siin tegelikult konks – Tossud on nagu suur 90ndate hangouti film, mis on täis retrotehnikat ja küünilist külma sõja meeleolu. Naljatamine on vaimukas, plaanid on läbimõeldud ja lõpuks kaotatakse vabariiklaste rahvuskomitee rahalised vahendid täielikult. Kui olete näinud kõiki vargusfilmide meistriteoseid, on lõpuks aeg avada oma süda lahedale alternatiivile Tossud. – Matt Patches

Warriors

Sol Yuricki 1976. aasta samanimelisel romaanil põhinev 1979. aasta "Sõdalased" on kaasahaarav linnalik põnevuspõnevik ja tumedalt kapriisne tõlgendus tegelikust jõuguvägivallast, mis haaras New Yorki 70ndate keskpaigast kuni lõpuni. Ateena Anabasise Xenophonist inspireeritud film jälgib tituleeritud sõdalaste jõugu, kes pärast armastatud jõuguvanema Cyruse mõrvamist peab rändama Bronxi North Endi südamest tagasi oma koduväljakule Coneysse. Saar Brooklyni lõunaosas. Vaatamata algselt leigele kriitika vastuvõtule ja vahetult pärast ilmumist vaevlesid vaidlused, on The Warriors saavutanud kultusliku staatuse 70ndate popkultuuri proovikivina. — TE
