    Hilary Swank made herself a true Hollywood star in her career-changing role as Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry. Though the film was not a huge box office success, it garnered Swank an Oscar for Best Actress and a nomination for Chloe Sevigny for Best Supporting Actress. The film wasn't without its share of controversy with a brutal rape scene and s...

    The Matrix certainly wasn't Keanu Reeves' first action film, but it became his most iconic (that is until the John Wick series reminded everyone how good he is at this). The sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutionswere met with mixed responses, but the first still holds up after 20 years. It would be endlessly parodied throughout the...

Sadly, the Best Animated Picture category of the Oscars didn't exist just yet, so it went largely unnoticed in that regard here. But it has been re-released several times in the U.S. in both 2018 and ...

    Bet you haven't heard of this one! One of the most intriguing documentaries to come out of the '90s was American Movie.

    Director Brad Bird's first feature-length animated film would go on to bomb at the 1999 box office, but it has since become a cult classic. Some would even argue it's his best film.

    It is a pretty rare accomplishment for a film to achieve a 100% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes; it's even rarer for a sequel to obtain it. Toy Story 2 defied the odds and did just that.
