The Hangover Part II
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis

Why it's a great Christmas gift: There's a strong case of déjà vu in this follow-up to 2009's hit comedy as Phil, Stu and Alan find themselves intoxicated in Bangkok on another bachelor party.

Why it's a great Christmas gift: The ultimate dad present, Asif Kapadia's gripping documentary traces Ayrton Senna from his humble go-karting beginnings to his tragic death in 1994.

Why it's a great Christmas gift: This slick franchise reboot introduced the Apes world to a new generation of fans while simultaneously tipping its hat to the movies that have gone before. James Franco plays the scientist experimenting with nature opposite a terrific Andy Serkis as simian Caesar.
