La Dolce Vita

One Show Only! It’s become a shorthand reference for swinging Rome and the louche early ‘60s, but then Moby Dick isn’t really about a whale. Marcello Mastroianni’s playboy journalist cavorts through the city, chasing celebrities and women and eroding his soul in the process. Speaking of shorthand, this is where the full floweri more »

Early Spring

Yasujirō Ozu gets a bit soapy here, albeit in an Ozu kind of way. A bored salaryman (Ryō Ikebe) feeling distanced from his wife (Chikage Awashima) starts an affair with a young colleague (Keiko Kishi). Really, just admiring the director’s trademark three-or-four-shot transitions is almost worth the price of admission alone. -Lee more »

2/61

Soundtrack to a Coup D’Etat

The United States’ involvement in the 1960 assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba and the country’s subsequent decline into decades of dictatorship and ongoing instability is well-established. Filmmaker John Grimonprez creates a stylish and verve-y account of that history by infusing his 2024 documentary with the musi more »

3/61

Sinners

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. more »

4/61

Mildred Pierce

Michael Curtiz out-pulps James M. Cain’s original novel, staging a murder in the very first scene and streamlining the melodrama. The resulting adaptation not only brings the noir, it amps up the class division and the mother/daughter love/hate. If you ever wondered why Joan Crawford was a big deal, this is an excellent way to f more »

5/61

Heavy Metal

For 13-year-old boys of all ages. Back in the day, the titular comic brought European artists like Jean “Moebius” Giraud and “adult” themes to newstands. The titular film brings a brace of the comic’s stories to life through budget animation and a soundtrack crammed with bespoke tunes from classic rockers. Content warning: many, more »

6/61

Let’s Get Lost

It’s a genuine shock when Chet Baker cops to being 57 in this biodoc—he looks 30 years older. The contrast between his heartthrob younger days as the Great White Hope of jazz trumpet and the withered, scuffling addict of his final year on earth fuels fashion photographer Bruce Weber’s suitably elegant film. Despite the ad-campai more »

7/61

The Magnificent Ambersons

The fact that RKO cut nearly an hour out of Orson Welles’ follow-up to Citizen Kane and it still stands as one of the greatest films ever made has inspired decades of pained what-ifs. Welles shadows the title Midwestern clan as their 19th-century wealth and influence succumbs to onrushing modernity and simple hubris. Every scene more »

8/61

Friendship

A suburban dad falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor. more »

9/61

River’s Edge

Every generation seems to have their coming-of-age film that Gets It. For the ‘80s kids, it was River’s Edge. A suburban hesher kills his girlfriend and shows his friends (including Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover) her discarded body. Poorly equipped to deal by their ‘70s-hangover upbringings, they react mostly by not reacting a more »

11/61

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life

A desperately single bookseller, lost in a fantasy world, finds herself forced to fulfil her dreams of becoming a writer in order to stop messing up her love life. more »

12/61

Last Year at Marienbad

The Nouveau Roman’s big-screen bow remains baffling and entrancing. Alain Renais’ camera prowls the Baroque halls and grounds of a luxe resort and occasionally alights on the dispassionate constituents of a love triangle as screenwriter Alain Robbe-Grillet’s narration goes on about its own elliptical business. An indelible cinem more »

13/61

Bring Her Back

A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother. more »

14/61

All About My Mother

As usual for a Pedro Almodóvar film, the plot here is so kinked and outrageous as to defy encapsulation. But wellspring performances from Cecelia Roth, Marisa Paredes, and Penélope Cruz wow. The director’s exploration of motherhood, sisterhood, and chosen family beguiles. And it looks like a billion pesetas. -LeeGardner more »

15/61

Two by Herzog

A pair of Werner Herzog’s underseen documentary shorts. God’s Angry Man focuses on Gene Scott, an old-school televangelist with a combative style—Herzog finds him glowering silently into a live television camera until the donations flow. High-speed cameras catch champion ski jumper Steiner flying high over spectators on his way more »

17/61

Tenebrae

Dario Argento’s black-gloved hands strike again, this time racking up gruesome killings that mirror the ones Tony Franciosa’s novelist invented for his books. Can the scribbler figure out who’s taking his work as bloody inspiration before he falls victim? Crazy stalkers! Axe murders! Lesbians! Insane twists! C-movie bellwether J more »

19/61

Pavements

Documentary about the American indie band Pavement, which combines scripts with documentary images of the band and a musical mise-en-scene composed of songs from their discography. more »

20/61

The Wages of Fear

What was the first action movie? One could make an argument for Henri-George Clouzot’s hot-sweat epic. There are only a few fights or firearms involved as desperate men (led by Yves Montand) stranded in a jungle hellhole seize a shot at trucking volatile nitroglycerin over hundreds of miles of gnarly road, but the two-fisted plo more »

21/61

Life of Chuck

A life-affirming, genre-bending story based on Stephen King's novella about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz. more »

22/61

Materialists

A matchmaker's lucrative business is complicated when she falls into a toxic love triangle that threatens her clients. more »

23/61

Latcho Drom

What a treasure. Roma filmmaker Tony Gatlif uses his camera to track a real-life odyssey—the migration of Roma people and their musical culture from their roots in Rajasthan, in India, along the Mediterranean to Spain. No interviews, no title cards, no context. Just intimate, vibrant music and dance performances, almost any of w more »

24/61

Lifeboat

Even “minor” Hitchcock looms tall over most directors’ peaks. Here he crams the title vessel with survivors from a WWII U-boat attack and wrests a world of drama, suspense, and intrigue from the cramped space between the gunwales. Tallulah Bankhead toplines a sterling cast. -Lee Gardner more »

25/61

28 Years Later

A group of survivors of the rage virus lives on a small island. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors. more »

26/61

Showgirls

Paul Verhoeven’s polarizing cinema punchline has aged well in the sense that it hasn’t gotten any worse. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhaz’s script about a frequently nude naif dancing her way to the top in Las Vegas remains a ridiculous line-o-rama, but the real reason the film inspires lols is poor Elizabeth Berkley, whose too-much p more »

27/61

F1

A Formula One driver comes out of retirement to mentor and team with a younger driver. more »

28/61

The Elephant Man

David Lynch followed up the mold-breaking Eraserhead with perhaps his most classically Hollywood feature, and his most deeply affecting. John Hurt’s embodiment of the title character astonishes, but the film is really about how the other characters see and react to him. Anthony Hopkins, for one, reacts exquisitely. -Lee Gardner more »

29/61

A Tale of Summer

Melvil Poupaud’s feckless young man heads for a beach town solo to mope, play guitar, and wait for his on/off girlfriend to arrive. He soon finds himself unsuccessfully juggling several young women, including anthropologist/waitress Amanda Langlet. One of Éric Rohmer’s most charming and amusing chatfests, enhanced by the sun-bak more »

30/61

Jurassic World Rebirth

Five years post-Jurassic World Dominion, an expedition braves isolated equatorial regions to extract DNA from three massive prehistoric creatures for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough. more »

31/61

Crash

Sex. Death. Sex and death. David Cronenberg plays all the hits in his adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s novel about a group of turned-on car-crash enthusiasts who go further and further in their pursuit of souped-up kicks. James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, and Holly Hunter kink up the screen, despite Spader’s character’ more »

32/61

Journey to Italy

George Sanders plays a man who is somehow tired of being married to Ingrid Bergman, who plays his similarly ennui-laden spouse. A trip to Italy exposes the faults in their relationship. That’s pretty much it, but Roberto Rosselini’s direction and the lovely performances make it feel like grand drama. -Lee Gardner more »

33/61

Superman

Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned. more »

34/61

Wild at Heart

David Lynch dips into Southern Gothic and hardboiled noir for his lurid yet sweet adaptation of Barry Gifford’s novel. Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern star as lovers on the run, abetted and thwarted by a cast of Lynch regulars and the occasional ‘90s indie staple (e.g. Willem Dafoe). Once again, Dern is the secret MVP. -Lee Gardner more »

35/61

Hot Spring Shark Attack

This “unhinged” deep-sea nightmare follows a sleepy hot spring town in Japan that gets a rude awakening when an ancient, bloodthirsty shark resurfaces to terrorize the local bathhouses. The townspeople must band together to save their steamy paradise, leading to a battle for the ages. After winning the Audience Award at the 202 more »

36/61

Act of Violence

Ex-G.I. Robert Ryan is bent on revenge against his former best friend and Army buddy Van Helfin, who sold out their comrades to the Nazis. Phyllis Thaxter and a young Janet Leigh play the women caught between them. Journeyman director Fred Zinneman’s inky-black noir wows with its inexorable story and grim fatalism. Fantastic e more »

37/61

Eddington

In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. more »

38/61

Idiocracy

Mike Judge followed up Office Space with a vicious satire about our increasingly enshittified society. It made nary a peep in theaters but now scans like Nostradamus. Luke Wilson plays a regular bro who, hundreds of years in the future, stands as the de facto smartest man in America. The whole thing runs out of gas before the en more »

39/61

Sorry, Baby

Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on - for everyone around her, at least. more »

40/61

The Gang’s All Here

Brazilian icon Carmen Miranda gets second billing but mainly serves as wacky “ethnic” comic relief. The real star, of course, is director Busby Berkeley’s trademark elaborate musical numbers, especially the Miranda-sung “The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat” and the completely insane finale. As corny as Kansas but a visual and music more »

41/61

Hackers

There’s nothing quite as ridiculous as a past vision of the future, especially one as Hollywood try-hard as this. Jonny Lee Miller and a baby Angelina Jolie lead a team of techie teens out to fight The Man, embodied by Fisher Stevens. Everyone spouts goofy jargon and would-be zingers, rollerblades everywhere, and tries their bes more »

42/61

The Empire Strikes Back

For many years, the second Star Wars film was considered The Good One—darker, more complex, romantic. Whatever the current rankings, it’s still pretty good. Great set pieces, interesting character stuff, Billy Dee Williams, and no Ewoks. -Lee Gardner more »

43/61

The Thin Red Line

Terrence Malick’s return to filmmaking after a 20-year hiatus combined the poetic spirit and visual sumptuousness of Badlands and Days of Heaven with a new break from Hollywood formalism—cue the cryptic voiceovers. He applied his new method to the venerable war-movie genre but found moving and richly rewarding new life in it. Hi more »

44/61

TOGETHER

Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Dave Franco and Alison Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, the more »

45/61

Commando

There are certainly better ‘80s action movies, but Commando is the most ‘80s-action-movie ‘80s action movie, and probably the most fun to watch with an audience. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the titular badass, who’s lured out of retirement to rescue his tween daughter from some grudge-holding bad guys and a literal army of squib more »

46/61

ÉL

A dark gem from Luis Bunuel’s Mexican period. Arturo de Córdova’s suave gentleman sweeps Delia Garcés off her feet, but soon after wedding bells ring, she discovers he’s a paranoid creep. His madness and violence soon escalate. An incisive portrait of domestic abuse heightened by the director’s skill and audacity. -Lee Gardner more »

47/61

IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY

Jeff Buckley, a rising star with an otherworldly voice, left the '90s music world reeling when he died suddenly after the release of his debut album. Told through never-before-seen footage and intimate accounts from the three women who knew him best, the film illuminates one of modern music's most influential and enigmatic figur more »

48/61

The Fly

David Cronenberg wastes not a second in putting Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis together onscreen, because that’s the whole movie—their exquisite chemistry fuels what ends up as much a tragic romance as a sci-fi remake. Arguably the pinnacle of Cronenberg’s “body horror” period, and it’s paced like a drag race. more »

49/61

Picnic at Hanging Rock

Today the disappearance of three schoolgirls and their minder would be a lurid true-crime tale or fodder for drawn-out “limited series” dramatic peekaboo. But Peter Weir’s breakout concocts a hypnotic haze of innocence, ardor, repression, suggestion, and emotional weight that utterly beguiles. A perfect cinema enigma. -Lee Gardn more »

50/61

The Hills Have Eyes

In the ‘70s, few things scared moviegoers more than deranged rural people. Wes Craven cemented his budding horror career with this Texas Chainsaw Massacre homage that pits a roadtripping whitebread family (Dee Wallace makes clear why she’s the only one who had a bigger career) against mutant desert cannibals (ditto for Michael B more »

51/61

Yojimbo

Toshiro Mifune invented the modern action hero in Akira Kurosawa’s classic. The former’s grungy ronin wanders into a village and right into the middle of a gang war, only to turn the factions' venality and dim wits to his advantage. Tatsuya Nakadai co-stars as a bonus badass. Fantastic score, too. -Lee Gardner more »

52/61

True Romance

Tony Scott applied his visual verve and blockbuster sensibilities to one of Quentin Tarantino’s early scripts and delivered an instructive contrast to the latter’s style. Scott is less wink-y and puts real muscle behind the beats of this love-on-the-run/crime-flick/Hollywood-sendup mashup. He also knows how to shoot dialogue wit more »

53/61

The Jungle Book

A bunch of cartoon predators adopt a defenseless human infant instead of eating it. Comedy hijinks with a mid-century hepcat bias and some pretty decent songs ensue. Disney’s adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s India-set stories is charming and surprisingly unproblematic for being nearly 60 years old. -Lee Gardner more »

54/61

Short Cuts

Robert Altman adapts a clutch of Raymond Carver short stories and, in the process, kinda invents Paul Thomas Anderson. An enormous cast plays a host of Angelenos whose lives intersect in humorous and tragic ways over the course of a few days. Also a very effective nostalgia prompt. Medflies! Cell phones the size of bricks! -Lee more »

55/61

Polyester

Poor, poor Francine. Divine stars as a smell-sensitive Severna Park hausfrau beset by a porn-peddling husband, delinquent children, and demon booze. Can Tab Hunter’s hunk offer her a new life? John Waters spans the crack between his early outrages and the mainstream appeal of Hairspray with this loving Douglas Sirk pastiche. “Od more »

56/61

Don’t Look Now

Haunted by the death of their young daughter, Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie thread the streets of Venice and catch glimpses of what might be ghosts. Nicolas Roeg continued his incredible ’70s run (Performance, Walkabout) with a film that’s both a piercing meditation on grief and the greatest giallo ever. -Lee Gardner more »

57/61

2001: A Space Odyssey

It probably shouldn’t work at this point, but it totally does. Stanley Kubrick’s audacious sci-fi epic still dazzles with its chutzpah, invention, visual sense, and intelligence. And the scenes aboard the spaceship form one of the great pocket thrillers ever made. -Lee Gardner more »

58/61

A Man and a Woman

In 1966, Claude Lelouch’s melancholy melodrama borrowed just enough New Wave flavor to cause a middlebrow sensation, and its Francis Lai-penned theme tune has haunted cocktail lounges ever since. In 2025, it’s still a treat to watch Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant brood and sigh amid Lelouch’s clever filmmaking. -Lee Gard more »

59/61

Mean Streets

Scorsese ground zero. The director had already made features, but this deeply personal knockaround slice of NYC street life in the early ‘60 cemented everything about his world-conquering style. Harvey Keitel’s Mob bagman and Robert De Niro’s anarchic ne'er-do-well form the foreground, but everything onscreen is worth your atten more »

60/61

The Color of Pomegranates

Talk about an art film. Soviet director Sergei Parajanov’s account of the life of Armenian poet Sayat-Nova slips narrative convention for a string of lavish, ravishing tableaux vivant, all crammed with inscrutable symbolism and visual piquancy. You could spend a lifetime revisiting it and not get it all. -Lee Gardner more »

61/61
