9. This is the End (2013)
This is the End is a comedy featuring a supergroup of funny people, smashed full of performances and cameos from all kinds of celebrities–everyone from Michael Cera to Channing Tatum. At its core, though, it’s a story about a group of friends, hiding in a house together, while the world around them burns to the ground for reasons they’re not even sure of, and it’s one of the best ways to laugh about the end of the world and the possibility of uncertain death.
This is the End was brought to life, written, and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and it stars Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill, and James Franco, playing fictionalized versions of themselves, as a group of friends locked in a house while the world is ending.
Hill and Franco, notably, both play despicable versions of themselves in the movie, which was a lot harder to believe when it was first released back in 2013.
The story goes in some truly interesting directions, and no comedic moments are left on the floor, in this disaster comedy masterpiece, which includes everything from weed and dick jokes to demons raining fire down from the sky.
This is the End is available to stream on Netflix.
