As a Civil War veteran spends years searching for a young niece captured by Indians, his motivation becomes increasingly questionable.

Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 100 percent and an Audience Score of 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this classic is a critical darling. The Chicago Tribune's Michael Wilmington said, "The Searchers is Ford's greatest western, with John Wayne as the relentless adventurer Ethan Edwards," while Jack Moffitt of the Hollywood Reporter noted, "This C.V. Whitney production is undoubtedly one of the greatest Westerns ever made."

It's playing at City Cinemas Village East (181-189 Second Ave.) on Monday, April 15. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 99 percent and an Audience Score of 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Apollo 11" has been a must-watch since its release on March 8.

"The NASA mission at the heart of the must-see documentary 'Apollo 11' reminds you what it feels to be truly awestruck," according to Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly, while the Associated Press's Jake Coyle said, "'Apollo 11' might not tell you anything you don't already know about the moon landing. But it will make you feel it, and see it, anew."

It's playing at AMC Lincoln Square 13 (1998 Broadway) until Friday, April 12 and City Cinemas Village East (181-189 Second Ave.) through Wednesday, April 17. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Say Anything...

A budding romance between noble underachiever Lloyd Dobler and high school valedictorian Diane Court is threatened when Diane's overly possessive, disapproving father interferes with their relationship. With a prized scholarship to study abroad hanging in the balance, Diane must find a way to make both men happy.

Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 98 percent and an Audience Score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this '80s throwback boasts plenty of accolades.

"'Say Anything' is an easy film to like," noted Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter, while Variety's Variety Staff said, "(John) Cusack and (Ione) Skye's relationship develops nicely and believably, but (Cameron) Crowe has not written an entirely convincing character for the latter to play."

It's playing at Alamo Drafthouse Downtown Brooklyn (445 Albee Square West) through Monday, April 15. Click here for showtimes and tickets.Us

Husband and wife Gabe and Adelaide Wilson take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends. But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 68 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Us" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on March 22. The Chicago Reader's Ben Sachs said, "it achieves an insidious, lingering effect that's rarer in the horror genre," and the Christian Science Monitor's Peter Rainer noted, "Ambition in the horror genre can be a good thing, but the overreach in this movie detracts from both the horror and the ambition. Having said that, (Jordan) Peele shows a marked advance in filmmaking skills here and, in her dual role, (Lupita) Nyong'o is ferociously good."

You can catch it at Regal E-Walk Stadium 13 & RPX (247 W. 42nd St.), Concourse Plaza Multiplex (214 E. 161st St.) and College Point Mult iplex Cinemas (2855 Ulmer St.) through Tuesday, April 16. Click here for showtimes and tickets.---
