The lives of several highly disparate people living in Los Angeles collide under the guise of tense race relations that simmer within the city in Paul Haggis’ Best Picture winning drama. Crash isn’t a good film. Often cited as one of the worst films to ever win Best Picture, the racial drama has aged terribly, particularly in light of the far more ...
Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), a renowned pianist who is African-American, embarks on a road trip through the deep south of the United States, in order to fulfil a concert tour, alongside Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), a tough-talking Italian-American bouncer from a rough neighborhood in the Bronx, who was hired to be a driver for Dr. Shirley.

Sofia Coppola won the award for her film about an unlikely bond between a faded movie star (Bill Murray) and a neglected young newlywed (Scarlett Johansson) who cross paths in a lavish Tokyo hotel. Coppola’s second feature showed her fully come into her own as a writer/director, exhibiting strong filmmaking instincts that brought the loneliness of ...
The life of gay rights activist, and the first openly gay elected official in California, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) is paid tribute in this biopic from Good Will Hunting director, Gus Van Sant. Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor, while screenwriter Dustin Lance Black won the film’s other Academy Award. A fairly straightforward biopic about an importan...

Scott Fitzgerald (Tom Hiddleston), Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) and Ernest Hemmingway (Corey Stoll)...
Cameron Crowe wrote and directed this film that drew on his own experiences as a young person. A high schooler (Patrick Fugit) in the 1970s is given the opportunity to follow an up-and-coming rock band as they go on tour. A unique coming-of-age film that has an excellent classic rock soundtrack and strong supporting performances from the ensemble c...
After ascending to the throne in 1936, King George VI (Colin Firth) must overcome a crippling speech impediment through the unusual methods of a renowned speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) so that he may communicate with the British citizens as the shadow of war looms over Europe. The King’s Speech is a competently made and surprisingly heart-warming...
An unconventional family takes a cross-country road trip so that the young daughter (Abigail Breslin) can compete in the finals of a child beauty pageant.

A very fresh and daring...
- “ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004) It’s no coincidence that, by working together, Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry made the most successful movie of either of their careers.
- “ Manchester by the Sea” (2016) What’s often overlooked when discussing “Manchester by the Sea,” one of last year’s best films and certainly the most wrenching, is how damn funny it is.
- “Her” (2013) Words are at a special premium in Spike Jonze’s “Her,” which must both spin together an entire (brave new) world where technology touches every segment of life (more than it already does, but not by too much) while also relying heavily on the power of very good conversation.
- “Lost in Translation” (2003) Don’t go looking to Sofia Coppola’s 2003 winner for any hints as to what those infamous final words are — Bill Murray leaning down to tell Scarlett Johansson a secret, and a secret it shall remain — as the filmmaker notoriously told her stars to improvise the end as they saw fit.
