When filmmaker Martin Scorsese made Goodfellas, he was coming off the controversial reaction to his 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ and before that, the tepid reception to The Color of Money. So you could say he had something to prove. Scorsese dug back into his Italian roots to craft one of the best gangster films of all time, with a conte...
If we were ranking this list in terms of rewatchability, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off would be towards the top. By 1986, John Hughes had perfected the “teen movie” format in a variety of ways, from the female-centric young love of Sixteen Candles to the outsider POV of The Breakfast Club. But with Ferris Bueller, Hughes tackled quite possibly his most ...
A film you can quote from end-to-end is a pretty good sign that you’re willing to watch the film endlessly. While Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have shown their strength as a team time and time again, it’s their first feature outing, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, which shines the brightest. It’s a film that’s unafraid to be totally weird, an...
Any self-professed fan of Christopher Nolan who hasn’t seen Memento at least three times should have their Nolan card revoked. Though it wasn’t his first directorial effort, it was his first feature-length collaboration with younger brother Jonathan Nolan, and a breakthrough film that would open the door for his now-iconic Batman trilogy. Memento s...
The filmmaking team of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost first made waves with their TV series Spaced, but it was the trio's 2004 feature film Shaun of the Dead that made them household names. Indeed, their twist on the zombie movie with a so-called “zomromcom” is a spectacular feat of cinema—a film that is equal parts hilarious, creepy, and...
First reactions to news of The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin writing a movie about Facebook were bursts of laughter. And then when David Fincher signed on to direct, that laughter turned to incredulity. What? Why? How? As it turns out, the duo were on to something; The Social Network resulted in possibly the defining film about the early 21st cent...
Like many of Miyazaki films, Spirited Away is a melty, mind-bending riff on a classic fairy tale, but his gorgeous and deliciously eerie take on Alice in Wonderland marks his most compellingly rewatchable. A gorgeous allegory on the beauty and peril of growing up, you’d be hard pressed to find another Miyazaki so beguiling in its world-building. A ...
There’s a solid chance you’ve seen this movie in its entirety, maybe just not in one sitting. Frank Darabont’s classic adaptation of one of Stephen King’s most un-King-like short stories has been in regular rotation on cable TV channels for the last 20 years or so. It’s a solid crime-drama full of fantastic character performances, but the real draw...
Everybody has that one movie you can watch a thousand times and never get tired of. For me, that's George Armitage's Grosse Pointe Blank. There is no time I won't watch Grosse Pointe Blank, and if it shows up on TV, well, that's what I'm doing for the next hour and 47 minutes. It's a quirky film, specifically crafted as a vehicle for John Cusack's ...
While many of Godard’s French New Wave works are so anti-establishment as to be frankly assaulting to watch (see: Masculin Feminin, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her), Band of Outsiders is Godard at his most sentimental. With an aura of Breathless, his energetic debut, but with emotion rarely seen in his oeuvre, Band of Outsiders is distinct in its ra...
