A Day in the Life . . .

In of honor the Friday franchise (Mike Epps starred in the last two sequels), we give you a rundown of well-known and obscure flicks to help fill out the rest of your calendar. Cue the lights.

Stormy Monday

Remember when Sting used to act? Stormy Monday takes us back down that dark and mystifying road, itself an American take on Get Carter . . . except with a lower budget, taking place in the late ’80s, with Sean Bean instead of Michael Caine. Talk about a rough forecast.

Tuesdays with Morrie

Are we cheating by mentioning a made-for-TV movie? This flick is an adaptation of the best-selling Mitch Albom book that detailed the writer’s 14 talks with his former professor, now suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease. Get your tissues ready.

Any Wednesday

At last, a comedy on the list, starring Jane Fonda at her hottest. This ’60s sex comedy is about a love square with affairs in an executive’s lavish apartment, but let’s be honest—you’re probably in it for one of most attractive advocates of all time. Be warned—the humor is more dated than Fonda’s career.

Thursday

The Punisher versus Two-Face with Whiplash butting in? Yes, fan boys, Thursday is a collection of “before they were famous” actors set in a criminal showdown where anything can and will happen. Too bad they forgot to make it good.

Friday

Do we really need to describe this one to you guys? If you haven’t witnessed the hilarious escapades Ice Cube and Chris Tucker get into in this film, put down the magazine/tablet/smart phone and Netflix this one now. We’re not kidding.

Saturday Night Fever

The quintessential disco movie that defined the ’70s, no one who saw it forgot Saturday Night Fever. It propelled John Travolta to superstardom, made the Bee Gees loop in your head for decades, and defined disco as a contemporary way of life. Try not to sing along, those high notes are not a challenge.

Any Given Sunday

How can we tell this is fiction? A Miami football team makes it past the playoffs and an attractive intelligent white girl is in charge of the team. Despite all of this, it still manages to be one of the better sports films out there with a really polished all-star cast. Worth a watch if your team loses on Sunday.
