Meet Joe Black, Almost Famous, Burlesque

There’s no understating the importance of cinema (emphasis on the haughty “ahhh”). For this is the art form that can at once be both a great escape from the drudgery of everyday life, and also a means by which we can broaden our knowledge of the world and enhance our pedestrian existence. In the video above, comedians Ayo Edebiri, Pat Regan, Mary Houlihan, and Rachel Pegram join our Vulture staffers in highlighting several great works now available on streaming for your perusal as a connoisseur of this, the fanciest and most important artistic medium. Expand your mind with films that will teach you about:

➽ Being the exact opposite of whatever a helicopter parent is
➽ The importance of owning air rights
➽ Death
