We're about halfway through the stunning Seattle International Film Festival, with many great events and films to come (like some of the 17 must-see films and many special events and parties, including the Centerpiece Gala this Saturday). But even as SIFF continues to dominate the local film scene, the world still turns and there are even more options, unassociated with SIFF, that look like fun times/thought-provoking experiences. We've compiled them all below, along with links to where and when you can see them. For all the choices, make sure to check out our complete movie times listings.

LIMITED RUNS
1. 9 to 5
Three women who work in an office—Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton—can no longer tolerate the misogynistic asshole who employs them, and they snap, with (sorta) violent, farcical results. It's worth watching for the music and costumes alone, but the plot and performances make the film, with '80s-era feminist revenge, inspirational and unapologetic power-grabs, dated dream sequences, and an adorable scene where the ladies smoke Maui Wowie and get the munchies.

2. The Case of the Three Sided Dream
The last thing you want in a film about the sui generis jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk is a dry, academic chronology of his life and accomplishments. Thankfully, Adam Kahan's The Case of the Three Sided Dream avoids that approach. There are no album-by-album summaries or stuffy assessments of Kirk's various phases by critics like Nat Hentoff or Stanley Crouch (not that I would mind the latter). Instead, Kahan combines traditional tropes like talking-head testimonials and reminiscences with archival video footage of Kirk in action and being interviewed along with eccentric animated sequences.

CONTINUING RUNS
3. A Bigger Splash
In an about-face from the tightly wound roles that defined his early career, like the sadistic Amon Goeth in Schindler's List, Fiennes is funny and sexy and ultimately pathetic as an aging lothario confronting the limits of pleasure and privilege. The film belongs to him, and he's magnificent. KATHY FENNESSY

4. Captain America: Civil War
If you want to get super technical about it, Captain America: Civil War isn't so much a Captain America movie as the third flick in the Avengers series. While Cap may be the heart and soul of this film, Marvel made sure to cram in as many of their products as humanly possible. But what should've been a 2.5-hour mess is another seemingly inconceivable Marvel miracle. Frenetic action set pieces are plopped in at regular intervals, and the uniformly terrific cast makes the long running time more than bearable. It's way better than the marginally enjoyable Age of Ultron, and packs more fun than Winter Soldier, while still maintaining that film's dark, paranoid edge. At this point, we know Marvel's got an expansive, ongoing game plan, and this movie is just another piece in their puzzle. That's why I've decided to trust and not start a war about it (civil or otherwise). WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

5. The Lobster
Here's the thing about The Lobster, the thing that'll either make you want to see it or never see it: It captures what it feels like to be single. And not just that—it captures what it feels like to be single in a society obsessed with everyone having someone. That's not a particularly fun thing to address, but it's not particularly awful, either, so The Lobster splits the difference: surreal and heartfelt, it's both laugh-out-loud funny and eerily melancholy. One minute, characters are wondering if they'll ever find a partner; the next, they're deciding which animal they'll turn into if they end up single. ERIK HENRIKSEN

6. The Meddler
The Meddler's heroines aren't flat, tertiary characters in someone else's storyline. They're weird, interesting, highly competent messes handling their own not-inconsiderable emotional baggage, and doing a realistically piss-poor job of it. They're dysfunctional and unlikeable, and you can tell a man didn't write them. Like UnREAL's Rachel or literally any of the women on The Good Wife (RIP), they're complicated and make bad decisions and probably aren't that cool to be around. But what makes them hard to watch is also what makes them real. MEGAN BURBANK

7. The Nice Guys
Sure, the mystery is fun, and yeah, it's a goddamn delight to see Healy and March shoot and stumble their way though LA. But unlike just about every other modern American comedy, The Nice Guys is an honest-to-god actual big-screen comedy—with Black taking advantage of cuts, camera moves, sight gags, and framing to deliver both action thrills and unpredictable laughs. Most American comedies—which, with their static setups and half-improvised dialogue, might as well be performed as plays—can't be bothered with any of the cinematic cleverness Black giddily employs here.
