1. Sully 

DVD and Blu-Ray Release Date: December 20, 2016

Rating: PG-13

Written by Todd Komarnicki

Directed by Clint Eastwood 

Starring Tom Hanks, Laura Linney, Aaron Eckhart, Anna Gunn, Autumn Reeser, Ann Cusack, Holt McCallany, Mike O’Malley, Jamey Sheridan, and Jerry Ferrara

Sully is based on the true story of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who landed a plane in the Hudson River after a mechanical problem. Sullenberger also wrote an autobiography called Highest Duty with Jeffrey Zaslow. Tom Hanks stars as Sully in the film.

The movie recounts the life-saving decision Sully makes to land the plane in the river and the repercussions of his actions, both positive and negative.

Sully should be one of the big winners when the Oscar nominations are announced. There are some terrific performances in the film, and the rest of the creative team did this story justice.
