Looking through our complete movie times listings, the options seem endless. If you don't want to take a chance on the sorta-funny Keanu, the hazy nostalgia of Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, or Sing Street's "Ireland for Dummies," we've got your back. Below, you'll find our critics' most-loved films screening in Seattle this weekend, from the mournful, life-affirming Purple Rain, to several screenings at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, to Downfall, a film in which Hitler is portrayed as a human being.

LIMITED RUNS
1. Beetlejuice
The Tim Burton comedy about a young couple—pretty, in love, and dead—who are besieged by living vermin is playing at Central Cinema this weekend.

2. A Hard Day's Night
More than 50 years after its widely acclaimed release, this Beatles comedy is still bouncing with mischief, energy, and Liverpudlianisms.

3. My Golden Days
One among the many great moments in My Golden Days, a charming French film about young love, about the beauty of youth, about the best years of life, happens like this: The hero is heading to school in a car while listening to De La Soul’s “Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin's Revenge).” This is the late 1980s, and this is the kind of music the French youth were listening to at the time. In the next scene, the hero meets for the first time the love of his life. She has great ’80s hair. Because nothing much happens during one’s youth, nothing heavy happens in this film by Arnaud Desplechin. CHARLES MUDEDE

4. Our Last Tango
This documentary about world-famous Argentine tango dancers María Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes features passionate dance sequences, a love story, and artistic footage from director German Kral, a one-time pupil of Wim Wenders.

5. Pali Road
Pali Road, a film about waking up, very suddenly, in the middle of a new and different life, was filmed on Oahu and premiered at the Hawaii International Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Feature Narrative.

6. Purple Rain
All around the city, theaters are screening Purple Rain—the film that gave Dan Savage his last wet dream—to celebrate the life of the late, great Prince.

ONE-NIGHT SCREENINGS
7. Suspiria
Watch the 1977 Italian horror classic, about a young ballerina whose dance studio ends up being a coven of witches, for free at Scarecrow. (Thursday only)

8. Cinematic Journey
A screening of eight short films featuring creative cinematography, presented as part of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth. (Friday only)

9. Güeros
"Güeros, like Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Savage Detectives, does not build toward a climax, but is an episodic tour through a series of Mexican scenes that manage to be dreamy and gritty at the same time. There is adrenaline and heat, fighting and fucking, but in this movie, that’s not where life really is—it’s in a glance, a murmur, and trying to catch your breath." BRENDAN KILEY (Friday only)

10. Chantal Akerman, From Here
This screening of an interview with Chantal Akerman about her work is presented as part of a larger retrospective of the experimental filmmaker's life and career. (Saturday only)

11. Downfall
"Well, it was only a matter of time (in this case 60 years or so) until a German filmmaker would be allowed to make a film about Hitler's last days in the bunker in which der fuhrer was portrayed as a human being with redeeming qualities. I'm not suggesting that Downfall is an apologia (or a war crime); it just makes a significant effort to portray the villain of the 20th century as a man rather than a monster. Far from diminishing his horrible acts, this approach actually makes them resound more severely than they do in most Nazi-related movies." SEAN NELSON (Saturday only)

12. The Human Race
As part of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, watch four short documentaries about the human condition and "the events that are shaping our generation." (Saturday only)

13. From the East
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the late Belgian director Chantal Akerman directed this documentary featuring images and active scenes, but no dialogue or commentary. (Sunday only)

14. Rwanda and Juliet
This modern take on Shakespeare is the only feature-length film at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth. (Sunday only)

CONTINUING RUNS
15. April and the Extraordinary World
This French-Belgian-Canadian animated thriller, starring Marion Cotillard, is based on Jacques Tardi's 1976 graphic novel about an adventurer exploring a warped, fictional universe.

16. Elvis & Nixon
"You've seen the photo: the King of Rock 'n' Roll and the Leader of the Free World, shaking hands in the Oval Office with cautious smiles and dazed looks in their eyes. Elvis & Nixon is an account—from director Liza Johnson and co-writer Cary Elwes—of that bizarre meeting in 1970. Elvis & Nixon's contained scope and underplayed humor make for a deft, lighthearted comedy about two pretty tragic dudes." NED LANNAMANN

17. Everybody Wants Some!!
"Over the course of two hours, Everybody Wants Some!!, Richard Linklater's 'spiritual sequel' to 1993's Dazed and Confused, goes from detestable to damn near lovable—it's an eventually enjoyable movie that I almost walked out of. It's broad and cheesy and kind of porny, but eventually you come to realize that it's not 'college' porn, but a very specific porn based on an idealized version of Linklater's own college experience. College hijinks have been done to death, but there's something endearing and slightly universal about a middle-aged man looking back on his college years and only remembering the parts that were super awesome(!!)." VINCE MANCINI

18. Eye in the Sky
"If Eye in the Sky accomplishes one thing, it's to function as a gripping thriller despite dealing almost exclusively with people staring at screens while talking on the telephone. But if the film accomplishes two things, it also generates awareness of what modern warfare technology looks like (awesome, brimming with unintended consequences), and encourages careful consideration of the ethical liability that comes with this power. What Eye in the Sky doesn't do, however, is provide a faithful portrayal of how those who are in power have weighed that responsibility." MARJORIE SKINNER

19. Green Room
"Bad guys are bad guys. The goal is to escape their clutches by any means possible. And so it goes for the punk band that ends up playing a gig at a white-supremacist compound in Oregon—shades of Malheur—out of sheer desperation. Then they witness a murder and the neo-Nazis give them the Hotel California treatment. From that point forward, it’s punks versus skinheads set to a soundtrack of Bad Brains, Slayer, and Poison Idea. The fun is in witnessing the ingenious ways the punks—including two turncoats—fight back using the crudest tools available. It’s fast, bloody, and, when you least expect it, hilarious." KATHY FENNESSY

20. Midnight Special
"Midnight Special, Nichols's latest, continues the director's winning streak. While on its surface an affectionate throwback to the kid-friendly sci-fi adventures of yesteryear (as the critic Matt Zoller Seitz said on Twitter, if this had been made in the '80s, it'd never stop playing on HBO), its underlying themes of families under pressure make it very much of a piece with the filmmaker's other work." ANDREW WRIGHT
