If you loved ‘Sinners’, here are 20 films & TV shows you should watch next

The only downside of Creed is that there is only one Michael B. Jordan to stare at, but the tenacity he puts into this boxing movie that picks up where the Rocky franchise left off more than makes up for it.

Like Sinners, From Dusk Till Dawn introduces viewers to a whole world and cast of characters before unleashing vampires on it all. So those who loved that balance in Sinners will want to check out Robert Rodriguez’s action-packed horror film from 1996.

Music is a crucial element throughout Sinners with a few of the characters being musicians who find themselves at the wrong gig, but people who find themselves engrossed in that aspect of the film will appreciate the blues of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Hailee Steinfeld proved herself long ago as a teenager when she was only 13 in True Grit. It’s the role that made her a household name and earned her an Oscar nomination. Those looking to do a deep dive into what led her to Sinners need to watch her masterful performance from the 2010 hit.

For too long, Black people in horror weren't the norm, but thanks to pioneers like Keith David in The Thing, Brandy in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and many others, the norm began to shift. One of the biggest movies to help push this notion that Black people and horror do not mix out the window, though, was a classic horror anthology, Tales from the Hood.

Before the horror settled in with Sinners, there was this interesting backstory with Michael B. Jordan’s characters in which they had ties to the mob, and it seemed as if they were running from those ties. The mob from the 1930s is always an interesting watch, and while not much is given in Sinners, it can lead one to want to watch Road to Perdition starring Tom Hanks, Daniel Craig, and Stanley Tucci.

Not a movie but definitely cinematic through and through, Lovecraft Country combined horror, history, and fantasy all in one and was only made better by an impeccable cast that featured Sinners’ star, Wunmi Mosaku.

People who want a historical throwback that is packed full of legit talent and action can turn to The Harder They Fall , a western featuring the acting delights of Idris Elba, Regina King, Lakeith Stanfield, and Delroy Lindo who stole many a scene in Sinners.

Blade walked so Sinners could soar.

Jack O'Connell plays the leader of a band of Irish vampires, and while he may not deliver the same level of eerie dance moves in it, it’s worth it to check him out in Skins. It was like Degrassi , only it went there a bit more for a teen drama and also featured the talents of Dev Patel, Nicholas Hoult, and Daniel Kaluuya.

Those who like to watch what initially helped inspire their favorite movies will want to put Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on their “Must-See Sinners” lists because director/writer Ryan Coogler told Get REC'D with Straw Hat Goofy that the villain in that movie helped him come up with the vampires in his.

Get Out and Sinners deliver the same theater experience, with each having multiple scenes that belong not only in a Horror Hall of Fame but a Movie Hall of Fame as well.

Yao plays a character named Bo Chow in Sinners, and anyone enchanted by that man’s presence on-screen should watch him play a boxer in the 1920s in the series The Last Bout.

Buddy Guy is a music icon whose presence in Sinners acted as the anchor in the end, and those who would love to explore more about the Blues legend can check out the musical documentary, Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away. 

The Edge of Seventeen is perfect for when one wants to watch Hailee Steinfeld but doesn’t want the gore, but rather the emotional roller coaster of adolescence.

With Sinners joining the conversation when it comes to horror greats, it’d be wise for anyone who hasn’t seen it to dive into one of the standards of the genre, Candyman.

There was a moment in pop culture where vampires were everywhere and they had one thing in common; being sexy. However, not every sparkly vampire is comparable to Sinners, but there is one show that gives the same level of sex, and that’s HBO’s True Blood.

No one has ever doubted what Michael B. Jordan can do on screen, especially when it came to 2018’s Black Panther where he transformed into a villain that many found hard to hate. Even with it being a Marvel movie, Jordan was able to showcase an abundance of range as Killmonger in the same way he executes double duty in Sinners.

Us and Sinners both have elements that aren’t based in reality, but they also share in the fact that each delivers the audience scenes that truly leave audiences on edge, and guessing until the end.

Twins enacting a plan to get what they want out of life, and doing so with a great soundtrack? The parallels between The Parent Trap and Sinners are uncanny.
