Monty Python and the Holy Grail
King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place."
With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this '70s throwback is a must-see. Time Out's Tom Huddleston said, "So unnecessarily gorgeous, there are moments where it feels like Tarkovsky with drag and farting," while Stanley Kauffmann of the New Republic noted, "Here is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which is neither as sparkling as it is said to be nor as bad as it seems to be at the start. But it's pretty good."

Avengers: Endgame
After the devastating events of "Avengers: Infinity War," the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.
With a Tomatometer Score of 95 percent and an Audience Score of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Avengers: Endgame" has become a favorite since its release on April 26. The San Diego Reader's Matthew Lickona said, "The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter — and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it — have well and truly come to their "Excelsior! Nuff said!" moment."
It's screening at AMC Classic Crossroads 16 (1211 E. Interstate 240), Cinemark Tinseltown and XD (6001 Martin Luther King Blvd.), B&B Theatres Oklahoma City Windsor 10 (4623 A. N.W. 23rd St.) and AMC Quail Springs Mall 24 (2501 W. Memorial Road, Suite E) through Wednesday, May 22. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Us
Husband and wife Gabe and Adelaide Wilson take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends. But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.
With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 65 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Us" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on March 22.
"Us revolves around an allegory that's more elastic and resistant to parsing than megahit 'Get Out,'" noted Alison Willmore of BuzzFeed News, while the Chicago Reader's Ben Sachs said, "It achieves an insidious, lingering effect that's rarer in the horror genre."
You can catch it at AMC Classic Northpark 7 (12100 N. May Ave.) through Wednesday, May 22. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
