Love thrillers? Love Jake Gyllenhaal? Love seeings movies before anyone else & on the big screen? Well, The Guilty is for you. 

"Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t need a performance vehicle to prove he’s one of the best actors of his generation, but that’s exactly what he gets in The Guilty. He delivers a turn that is compellingly complex, taking the audience on an emotional roller-coaster that results in one of his best performances yet." - Collider

I'm Your Man was a hit at TIFF this year, and now it has arrived at the Original starting on Monday! In need of a love story? This is it. It's also sci-fi-ish and has a big heart. Perfect for date night, or if you loved the 'happier' episodes of "Black Mirror". Germany's Official Selection for Best Foreign Language Film for the 94th Academy Awards. Fans of Downton Abbey will delight in watching Dan Stevens' ('Matthew Crawley') uncanny portrayal as an android.

'Once Upon a Time in the West' is composer Ennio Morricone's “triumph. It’s one of the great scores all time, and launched that movie into another place: epic opera. It’s the ultimate in composing. You can’t get better and more profound than that.” - Director & composer, John Carpenter
