Snowpiercer came out in 2013. Bong Joon-ho directed it. Chris Evans plays Curtis Everett. The whole story takes place on a train that never stops moving. The train travels around the world to keep people alive. Wealthy passengers live in comfort at the front. People in the back, known as tailies, suffer with almost nothing. Curtis leads the tailies toward the front. He wants to find Joseph Wilford, played by Ed Harris. This was Joon-ho's first movie in English. It helped make him known in the United States. A TNT series later came from the film. The idea began as a French graphic novel named Le Transperceneige.

Donnie Darko arrived in 2001. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Donnie. He escapes death by a narrow margin. After that, a tall figure in a rabbit suit starts following him. The figure calls himself Frank. Frank says the world will end in twenty-eight days. Richard Kelly is the writer and director. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake's real sister, plays Elizabeth. Drew Barrymore and Seth Rogen also appear. Fans still picture Donnie, Frank, and Gretchen together. The film remains one of the most talked about science fiction thrillers.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure came out in 1989. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter play two high school friends. They love surfing and rock music. A history project could keep them apart. They use a phone booth to jump through time. They collect famous figures from history. Their band is named Wyld Stallyns. Their music might one day save the world. The movie created the phrase be excellent to each other. It also led to sequels. Socrates appears as So-crats.
