The Fifth Wave
A massive series of events take place including alien attacks, earthquakes, tsunamis, and disease that place the planet and the human race on the verge of extinction.

The two fight until the very end when the invaders prepare for their fifth wave of attack on earth.

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
In this 1971 classic, the last five golden tickets have been distributed in chocolate Wonka bars all over the world. The winners who find the tickets get a grand tour of Wonka’s (Gene Wilder) decadent chocolate factory, but mysteriously, odd things keep happening to the winners throughout the tour until there is only one winner left at the end to get the grand prize.

Jumanji
Two orphans, Peter (Bradley Pierce) and Judy (Kirsten Dunst), explore an old mansion that their aunt just recently bought. They hear a drumming noise coming from the attic when they find an old, magical board game that creates an intense adventure when they begin to play. They free a young boy, Alan, (Robin Williams) who has been trapped in the game for decades and is now a man. If they win, they’ll be free, and if they lose, they’ll all be hostages to the inner world of Jumanji.
