As it's been for the past three months, the month of May too opens with a deadly sins-themed Thursday Movie Picks, envy, a feeling that is probably familiar to all of us as I'm sure at some point in our lives we've been envious of someone, probably for the silliest of reasons too.
Knives Out (2019)
Plot: When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead, detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate and get to the bottom of the apparent suicide.
Everyone in that family is envious of one other and they all try to pin the murder on the person they hate the most.
Mean Girls (2004)
Plot: Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett), the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George (Rachel McAdams).
The whole plot of the film is basically Cady obsessing over Regina both with admiration and envy.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Plot: New York, 1950s. Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is working as a lavatory attendant when he borrows a Princeton jacket to play the piano. He ends up pretending to know wealthy Mr. Greenleaf's (James Robhorn) son, Dickie (Jude Law), and he is soon offered one thousand dollars to go to Italy and convince Dickie to return home. But when he gets there, he attaches to Dickie and his girlfriend Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow) and things get out of control pretty soon.
Tom envies Dickie's life so much that he is willing to cross many lines to live his life. Literally.
