The Underground Railroad (2021)
A young woman named Cora makes an amazing discovery during her attempt to break free from slavery in the deep south.
A harrowing and heart-wrenching epic is a masterfully adapted TV series of the award-winning novel, captured in beautiful imagery with great period detail and with an extraordinarily superb cast; a complex,often brutal, but also magical exploration of black suppression with clear pointers to present-day USA.

Hardware (1990)
The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself, and goes on a violent rampage in a space marine's girlfriend's apartment.
Good-looking
sci-fi thriller despite its low budget is a noteworthy achievement,
although there are many derivative elements in its plot and effects.
Halliwell*: "A low-budget science-fiction horror story, filmed in the style of a rock music video."
Maltin**: "Surprisingly well made, but recalls many earlier (and better) films. Heavy violence nearly earned this an X rating, before it was trimmed."

Planet Outlaws (1953)
A 20th Century pilot named Buck Rogers and his young friend Buddy Wade awake from 500 years in suspended animation to find that the world has been taken over by the outlaw army of Killer Kane.
A feature film made as a compilation out of portions from the Buck Rogers sci-fi serial loses much of the original's dramatic structure and makes the ramshackle special effects appear even sillier.
