While Ghost in the Shell is actually being remade this year, many still hold the original animated film as a classic work, and a masterful adaptation of its source material. The story of The Major, a cyborg who begins to question the nature of her reality, is one of the pioneering works of Japanese animation, and it’s still iconic today. Ultimately...
Men in Black is perhaps the most charming film on this list. It’s part of a wave of outstanding Will Smith performances that end up carrying some pretty mediocre films. Men in Blackisn’t carried on Smith’s back alone, though. Tommy Lee Jones is among the best straight men in Hollywood history, and he and Smith pair beautifully to create a dynamic t...
The first graphic novel adaptation on this list, American Splendor is actually a combination of live action and animation. Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, tells the story of comic book writer Harvey Pekar, who spends his days in Cleveland. We follow Pekar and his relationship with his wife as he becomes more successful. The fi...
Of the individual Marvel films, the ones focused on Captain America have been among the best received by critics. The Winter Soldier was the second of these, and it was as political as a Captain America movie could be. The story is really one of fear and government overreach, and the problems that can come with it. The Winter Soldier is the kind of...
Though it couldn’t live up to the reputation of its predecessor, The Dark Knight Rises is in many ways a worthy successor to that film. Anne Hathaway’s casting as Catwoman was am incredibly smart choice, and it elevates the entire film. The Dark Knight Rises also has the benefit of being an actual conclusion to Nolan's series. Instead of setting th...
The oldest entry on this list, the Richard Donner-directed Superman wears its age in the best possible way. Its premise is remarkably simple. After coming to Earth, Clark Kent works as a reporter during the day while he discovers his powers and fights Lex Luthor at night. The story didn't have to be any more complicated than that, which is a refres...
The newest entry on this list, Doctor Strange can be seen in theaters now. The film is, in many ways, very Marvel. Scott Derrickson's film plays into the same tropes as Iron Man with regard to its unlikable but charming protagonist, and with regard to his development into a hero. Doctor Strange’s new elements are largely mystical, and they come wit...
Perhaps the first truly great superhero movie of the modern age, Spider-Man 2 does everything right. It finds pathos in Peter Parker’s struggle with his alternate identity, and uses that struggle to make the character interesting in a way the first installment couldn’t quite manage, though both were directed by Sam Raimi. On top of that, it also ma...
Persepolis is a more somber and intimate affair than most of the films on this list, and that’s for good reason. Adapted from a graphic novel of the same name, Persepolis tells the story of author Marjane Satrapi, who grew up against the backdrop of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. This of course makes the story at the core of Persepolis much more p...
The X-Men universe is in many ways a different beast than the other superhero franchises on this list. The original X-Men came at the very beginning of the modern superhero boom, and this was the film that tied that original film in with X-Men: First Class, which introduced younger versions of many of the characters from the original trilogy. Shock...
