15 Best Deep-Cut Movies Coming Back to Theaters Soon: Rediscover These Favorites

Regal brings films back

Regal’s new Deep Cuts series features movies the theater chain says deserve another look on the big screen. The company describes the films as works that have built devoted followings outside theaters.

The lineup includes classics, underappreciated films and unexpected choices. Tickets and the full list are available through Regal, while these 15 selections stand out as especially appealing theatrical revisits.

Thrillers and science fiction

Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy follows a man mysteriously imprisoned for 15 years who seeks revenge after his release. The film’s acclaim and dark turns helped inspire Spike Lee to remake it with Josh Brolin a decade later.

Jonathan Glazer’s sci-fi film Under the Skin stars Scarlett Johansson as an alien encountering harrowing human experiences. Zathura, directed by Jon Favreau, turns a board-game adventure into a space-set story based on a Chris Van Allsburg book.

Crime, punk and classic comedy

The Wachowskis’ 1996 thriller Bound stars Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon as lovers plotting to steal millions from the mafia. Alex Cox’s Repo Man follows Emilio Estevez as a young man working for a repossession company that pursues a car concealing aliens.

Buster Keaton’s The General, released in 1926, marks its 100th birthday this year. Keaton plays a Confederate train engineer in a comedy noted for its practical effects and its portrait of the Civil War era.

More stories worth revisiting

Tokyo Drift is another choice among the featured movies. The selection comes from the Fast and Furious series, though the article’s discussion of the film ends before explaining its case for a theatrical return.
