Hello Fellow Escapists! On Escapist Cinema, we talk about the movies we use to escape life for a bit.
A good movie takes us somewhere else - into another person, another time or even another world.
Most of the films we talk about don't get a wide release or aren't well-known, so we hope to introduce you to some new favorites.
Grab your favorite movie snack and join us as we escape into movies!

From romantic city streets to a Shire that doesn't show up on Google Maps, we’re selling you on the ultimate vacation packages…back your bags!
As always, we reserve the right to alter our lists at any time. They've probably already changed.

Escapist Cinema Talks War Movies
War. It’s humanity’s oldest bad habit — and cinema’s favorite playground.
From muddy trenches on Earth to laser-blasted battlefields on galaxies far, far away, war movies remind us that conflict is as cinematic as it is catastrophic.
They can be gritty and grounded, or completely over-the-top with fake planets, fake armies, and very real explosions.
Let's march straight into the chaos and count down Jen and Derek's Top 5 War Movies.
Grab your helmet, your popcorn, and maybe a stiff drink… because in war, nobody makes it out clean—but in movies, we get one hell of a story.
