Likely the funniest—not to mention one of the most influential—of all 21st-century motion pictures, Paul Feig's uproarious, unflinching look at modern-age female friendship launched the film careers of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy into the stratosphere. Audiences flocked to the picture in its initial run, and it only benefits from repeat viewi...
Two of the big screen's all-time brightest stars—Paul Newman and Robert Redford—are immortalized in George Roy Hill's buddy adventure Western about real-life outlaws on the run. A defining work of the era's "New Hollywood," Butch Cassidy succeeds as both experimentation and grand entertainment. There's excitement, million-watt movie-star bravado an...

With every trip down the rabbit hole, The Matrix loses none of its allure or heart-pounding excitement.
A restrained, tasteful yet nerve-frying work of art whose impact is hard to overstate. Is this the most ripped-off movie ever? With likable characters, incredible music and other unique artistic flourishes, ingenious use of widescreen space and a lack of cynicism,John Carpenter’s beloved classic about a masked lunatic stalking teen babysitters stil...
Based on Black feminist Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Color Purple brought the career of director Steven Spielberg into a new dimension. Following wildfire effects-heavy genre successes Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T., this was a grounded, mature Southern drama of cruelty, hope and perseverance....
