Edge of Tomorrow
There’s a reason this 2014 Tom Cruise-Emily Blunt action flick—about a soldier who dies every day before waking up again on the same day, endlessly trying to figure out how to defeat a powerful alien enemy—has only added to its many fans over the years. Yes, Cruise’s character meets his end in some incredibly gruesome ways, but his progression as a fighter, military strategist, and ever-more-decent human being is incredibly satisfying to watch. You already know he’s going to save the world, as Tom Cruise tends to do in his movies, but Edge of Tomorrow puts him on a particularly tough road to get there, and the catharsis feels very well-earned at the end.
