This week's Tubi picks: a moody atmospheric thriller that almost sticks the landing, a sleazy sword and sorcery classic that just launched a brand new countdown series here, and one of the best pure action films of the 1990s. All free, all worth your Tuesday night.

Deep Impact came out the same summer as Armageddon and has been unfairly compared to it ever since. It is the better film. Robert Duvall is outstanding, Tea Leoni earns her emotional payoff, and it treats the audience like adults.

Here on Earth is everything A Walk to Remember does right, done wrong. Two unlikable leads, a sympathetic boyfriend treated like an obstacle, and an emotional payoff the film never earns. Leelee Sobieski deserved better material than this.

Night Train had Danny Glover, Steve Zahn, and Leelee Sobieski and still managed to be one of the most boring and incoherent thrillers of 2009. A good premise squandered completely. The bottom of the Leelee Sobieski filmography.

The Elder Son is a light comedy drama that asks very little of you and delivers a pleasant hour and a half in return. Great performances from Shane West, Leelee Sobieski, and a great Rade Serbedzija make it worth your time.

Leelee Sobieski's adaptation of The Turn of the Screw builds strong atmosphere and delivers committed performances before stumbling into an ending that undermines everything it set up.

Walk All Over Me is a different side of Leelee Sobieski than most of her fans have seen. A scrappy Canadian crime comedy with a loose plot, genuine laughs, and great chemistry between its two leads. Better than its reputation suggests.

Joy Ride is a very good thriller carried by an unseen villain with one of the most intimidating voices in modern horror. The cast delivers, the tension is real, and a few logic lapses are the only thing keeping it from being something great.

The Glass House got a raw deal when it came out in 2001. Revisiting it now, it holds up better than its reputation suggests, carried almost entirely by a Leelee Sobieski performance that deserves far more recognition than it ever received.

The 1999 CBS miniseries had no business being this good. Leelee Sobieski was just sixteen years old and already delivering one of the finest portrayals of Joan of Arc ever committed to screen. This one holds up.

Christine Lahti's My First Mister is one of the most overlooked films of 2001. Sobieski and Brooks share an unlikely chemistry that carries this quiet gem almost all the way home — almost being the operative word.

Leelee Sobieski had one of the most underrated filmographies of her generation. From Joan of Arc to My First Mister, here are the five best films she starred or co-starred in — plus a few that didn't make the cut.
