A rainy night alone and a great film is one of life's underrated pleasures, these are built for exactly that mood. Action with substance, films where the spectacle serves the story rather than replacing it. From the 2010s, arguably the most diverse and globally rich decade in film history. The fact that these actually happened makes them hit completely differently.

True stories hit differently when the filmmaking is good enough to honour them. Every action pick here was chosen for alone on a rainy night because the real events make the tension land harder. Specifically from the 2010s - these aren't just good films - they're films where knowing it happened changes everything. Pick one tonight.
Action that earns its runtime is rarer than the genre suggests. Solo rainy night watching has its own logic and these films fit it exactly. All from the 2010s - a decade with more depth than its reputation suggests. Find more curated film lists by genre and mood at Moviepiq.
