Storyline: Gloria Wondrous awakens in a luxurious bedroom that's not hers.

The day and the movie are off to a roaring start. Moviegoers and Hollywood left a message of "Hurrah!" for Elizabeth Taylor and Butterfield 8. Audiences made the film, co-starring Laurence Harvey and Eddie Fisher as a married lover and platonic friend who matter to Gloria, a box-office hit. And Taylor won her first Best Actress Academy Award as a woman whose life comes with a complete set of emotional baggage. For a glossy, good time, don't call. Watch.

#26. Wild Honey Pie (2018)

Storyline: English Gillian and her Welsh husband Oliver are, if not newlyweds, then at least not-long-weds in their early 30s who haven't quite launched themselves out of the nest.

Oliver earns a pittance as a DJ once a week and spins discs at the occasional wedding. Gillian, meanwhile, is directing a production she wrote herself about a young married couple struggling to understand themselves. In any event, even though Gillian and Oliver are clearly best friends who share the same sense of absurdist humor and are well matched intellectually, their sex life is a bit vanilla for Gillian's taste.
