Escape the Election With These Ridiculously Fantastic Films

15 films to watch if you want to be anywhere but here….

Jean-Paul Gaultier’s beloved contribution to cinema is The Fifth Element. (He cited Barbarella as a main source of inspiration in his costume design.) Set in the far future, it features Chris Tucker,  Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and a Gatorade-orange-tressed Milla Jovovich, all on opposing sides to save/obliterate planet Earth. It’s a film to remind us all that, no matter the space or time, the world always seems like it’s falling apart.

Purple Rain is a semi-autobiographical film about a Prince-like pop star played by Prince and set to Prince’s music. In it, Prince wears lots of purple and sings his way through the ups and downs of his climb to stardom. 

Anna Karenina, 2012

It’s impossible to do Tolstoy justice in a film. Knowing this, why not indulge in a bit of Anna Karenina? The film progresses with the cadence of live theater—swift entrances and exits into new backdrops made to look like a stage. The film’s antiheroine is played by Keira Knightley, who just might take your breath away with her historically inaccurate gowns bedecked with Tiffany and Chanel accessories. She has Count Vronsky wrapped around her little finger, and around her neck, some serious jewels. It’s divine.

She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
