Weekends in Espinof are equivalent to a review of the best cinema that you can see on a national Spanish channel during those days. Today I have selected 11 films that I think are worthwhile. I remind you that this is a personal selection, leaving out those titles that you have not seen or have too forgotten.

‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’
Steven Spielberg dared to adapt the mythical character created by Hergé in an animated film with energy and an old-fashioned vocation for adventure, although visually it has a more modern component, even remembering a certain video game during some action scenes.

‘Mississippi burns’
!['Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Game Night' and more Mississippi burns](https://i.blogs.es/2b3b27/arde-mississippi/450_1000.jpeg)
One of the most remembered works of Alan parker, in which he gives a great visual force to a story about how deeply rooted racism is in American society. Then perhaps it works better as a thriller than when you seek a more realistic treatment of the story, but we forgive you, which also has a great interpretive duel between Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.

‘Welcome to Zombieland’

It goes from more to less, reaching a bit limping to an outcome that does not seem the most appropriate for what he was telling us, but it starts with great force, knowing how to find the most comical side of a terrifying story without ending up being taken all a joke. In addition, the leading quartet is a success and has one of the best cameos of all time.

‘The minions’

A far more fun prequel than all of Gru’s previous adventures. It is understandable that there are viewers who were already fed up with these cute yellow creatures when this film hit theaters, but it is a very effective comedy with a very successful rhythm and full of gags that at least provoke you a smile.

‘In search of the lost ark’
Indiana Jones’ magnificent first adventure is an example of near-perfect entertainment in which everything falls into place. From the clever use of humor to a great cast led by a plethora of Harrison Ford, not to mention the invaluable staging work by Steven Spielberg.

‘Ted’

Seth MacFarlane’s work tends to slow down, but here he managed to shape a sympathetic comedy that knows how to balance its most irreverent side with the need to find that most endearing touch that defines the relationship between its two protagonists.

‘Colossal’

Nacho Vigalondo hit the mark using giant monster cinema to offer an accurate portrait of toxic masculinity, counting on a great ally in a highly inspired Anne Hathaway.

‘The incredible Hulk’

At the time we dispatched it as little more than a simple well-resolved action hobby, but time has shown us that it is a show with more personality than it appears -and more than many other Marvel adventures-, being a pity that they did not leave complete Edward Norton’s vision of it …

‘Batman forever’
!['Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Game Night' and more Batman forever](https://i.blogs.es/38a4af/batman-forever/450_1000.jpeg)
It is clear that the absences of Tim Burton behind the cameras and Michael Keaton in front of them were noted, but there is something about the excesses of Joel Schumacher that works quite well here, especially when it comes to his villains played by Tommy Lee Jones and Jim. Carrey …

‘Game night’
!['Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Game Night' and more Game Night](https://i.blogs.es/3730c0/noche-de-juegos/450_1000.jpeg)
One of the best comedies Hollywood has given us in recent years. With a premise that seems like a variant of ‘The Game’ and a quite inspired cast, ‘Game Night’ knows how to find the right keys to make the viewer have a good time, giving away a memorable scene in the form of a false sequence shot. .

‘A dangerous therapy’
!['Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Game Night' and more A Dangerous Therapy](https://i.blogs.es/8030b9/una-terapia-peligrosa/450_1000.jpeg)
A fun comedy supported by the good chemistry between Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro that practically coincided in time with the premiere of ‘The Sopranos’. Here, a more decidedly comical route is chosen to win over the public, and what if it succeeds.

Spanish programmers tend to repeat the same titles too much and I got tired of recommending the same thing, hence if it appeared in a similar text published in the previous six months, they are left out of my articles. But nevertheless, You may be interested to know that they are also issued:
