Binge watching is a modern verb that nearly every household does. It's easy to find shows worthy of binging, but have you ever found an impeccable actor or actress whose performances are so eye-catching that you have to watch all their films? For me, this is something that's just as entertaining as watching the films themselves, so here I share with you a list of actors whose filmographies are pristine.

1. Brad Pitt

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Hollywood's biggest heartthrob knows how to choose a script. Although his debut film was more than lackluster his films following only increased in impressiveness. From the storytelling and greatly executed performance he brings to the silver screen, it's impossible not to check out his star-studded filmography at least once. From Fight Club, Inglourious Basterds, Seven, Meet Joe Black, Fury, Ocean's Eleven, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Thelma & Louise and more you are able to witness the range he has as an actor and why he's viewed as one of the best of his time.

2. Lupita Nyong'o

Nyong'o's acting debut began in the Oscar Winning 12 Years A Slave, in which she won best supporting actress at the Academy Awards. It was well deserved and started off as a jumping point to even more impressive film roles. Gracing the screen in the Star Wars franchise, Marvel's Black Panther, The Jungle Book, and Queen of Kuwait proves that almost anything Nyong'o is in is destined for greatness.

3. Leonardo Dicaprio

One of the worlds best and favorite actors had to grace this list of course. Dicaprio started out in Critters 3 but proved that this wasn't the extent to his acting abilities. Starring alongside heavyweights like Robert De Niro in A Boys Life, he proved that he was capable of taking on more mature roles. Throughout his career, he graced the silver screen with blockbuster films like What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Romeo + Juliet, Titanic, The Beach, Catch Me If You Can, Inception, The Wolf Of Wall Street, and the Oscar Winning Revenant. On top of all of these notable films, he still has a plenty of "lesser known" films that are just as golden.

4. Kang Haneul

This South Korean Actor started out as a theater actor then transitioned to film. With movies like Twenty, Midnight Runners, New Trial, and Forgotten his variety skills as an actor are displayed impressively. On top of an impressive resume of shows, these films allowed him to catapult to a Blue Dragon Award Winner. If you'd like an actor with range, Haneul has the filmography for you.

5. Anne Hathaway

Via GiphyVia Giphy

After making her film debut in The Princess Diaries alongside Julie Andrews, Hathaway's film credits only escalated from there. She became a Hollywood heavyweight with films like Brokeback Mountain, The Devil Wears Prada, Les Misérables, and Ocean's 8. Her filmography most definitely worth spending a day or two watching.

6. Jim Carrey

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Known as the funny man of Hollywood by most, Carrey possesses much more than just comedic chops as an actor. From the Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber franchises to The Truman Show, Bruce Almighty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Carrey has proved that he can tackle different genres of film with grace and skill.

7. Robin Williams

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Before there was Jim Carrey there was Robin Williams. Williams' comedic timing allowed him to start out as a mainly comedic actor in cult classics like Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, Aladdin, and shows like Mork & Mindy. Films like Good Morning, Vietnam, The Birdcage, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and Jumanji ushered in a new side to the actor that allowed audiences to witness the latter to the comedic genius.

8. Robert De Niro

De Niro is an actor with a career many aspire to have and rightfully so. Many of his films are cult classics. When you mention films like Taxi Driver, The Godfather Part II, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter and Meet The Fockers you don't need to have necessarily seen them, but it'd be a bit odd to have never heard of them. Whether the character calls for it, De Niro brings a force to the screen in each performance that many actors fail to emulate.

9. Tom Hanks

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Hanks has more than made his mark in Hollywood, but it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere anytime soon and I'm completely fine with that. For decades he's continuously presented viewers with quality performances in films like Forrest Gump, Big, The Green Mile, Cast Away, Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story, and Sully. His filmography crosses amongst a range of genres and is rich in entertainment.

10. Denzel Washington

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Washington is quite dedicated to his craft and it's not only shown in his performance, but in his filmography. The Equalizer frontman, John Q, Troy Maxson of Fences, Coach Herman and more his characters translate just how powerful his aura is when taken to each films role. With Washington's vast filmography your choice of films to watch is plentiful.

11. Tom Holland

Via GiphyVia Giphy

Holland doesn't lack talent by any means which is reflected in his short, but eye-catching filmography. As an Avenger he has built a fan base like no other, but many of his other films like The Impossible, The Lost City of Z, How I Live Now and In the Heart of the Sea match up with the standards set with his break out role as Spiderman. As a fan, I am excited to see what his career and filmography holds for the future.

12. Dev Patel

Via GiphyVia Giphy

The Skins alumn made his transition to the silver screen with films like Slumdog Millionaire, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and Chappie. These films catapulted him to stardom and also earned him many awards for Oscar Nominated Film Lion (but hey, what's a better award than being on this list). Patel's performances never lack throughout his filmography by any means.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
