This fun rom-com never gets old. Jennifer Garner plays a 13-year-old who suddenly awakens to find herself a thriving 30-year-old living in New York City.

In Ron Howard's look at the 1970 Apollo 13 lunar mission, which became a race to save the astronauts on board after a craft malfunction, Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton are fantastic as the astronauts who must use science and improvisation to get back to Earth.

Christopher Nolan's trippy heist movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb, a skilled thief who steals information from his targets' subconscious. But he meets his match when he's tasked with implanting an idea into a target's mind.

Make it a Nolan double feature tonight. Here the Oscar-winning director takes us to deep space with Matthew McConaughey as he pilots a team of scientists who enter a wormhole in search of a planet humanity can inhabit as Earth is on the cusp of dying.

Like with "Inception," Zimmer delivers another amazing score. Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, a young TimothΓ©e Chalamet, and Bill Irwin, as the voice of the robot TARS, round out a great supporting cast.

"Meet the Parents" (January 1)
