Sliding Doors
This 1998 showcase for Gwyneth Paltrow—released the same year as her Oscar-winning turn in Shakespeare in Love, and also featuring her British accent—offers a look at the wildly different parallel lives (and wildly different hairstyles) a London woman experiences after making, or missing, a subway train home. The “what if” thing is a storytelling gimmick—but the twists and turns still might surprise you. (Stream on Peacock)
