Marriage Circle, The (1924)

  • Lubitsch, Ernst
  • 1924, Ernst Lubitsch, USA
  • Leave a comment

A delightfully humorous early silent classic from Lubitsch that efficiently tells the interlocking story of two couples whose marriages teeter towards a crisis.

Casablanca (1942)

  • Others
  • 1942, Michael Curtiz, USA
  • 9 Comments

An endlessly quotable love triangle drama set in the context of WWII politics, this is truly one of the greatest films of the Classical Hollywood era with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in their most iconic roles.

Informant!, The (2009)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2009, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Based on an incredulous true story, this easy-going and quirky effort by Soderbergh starring a delightful Matt Damon, should leave a smile on your face.

Traffic (2000)

  • Criterion Collection, Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 9 Comments

Soderbergh is at his commanding best in this powerful and unsettling film that captures the essence of the U.S-Mexico drug trade as it is, and without the need to moralise.

Nope (2022)

  • Peele, Jordan
  • 2022, Jordan Peele, USA
  • 3 Comments

Peeleโ€™s third feature is his most ambitious yet though not necessarily as sharp as his previous works, firmly locating itself in sci-fi horror territory while expressing our innate desires for attractions and spectacles.

Collateral (2004)

  • Mann, Michael
  • 2004, Michael Mann, USA
  • 3 Comments

A cab driver and an assassin cross paths in Mannโ€™s nocturnal crime escapadeโ€”it may stray into incredulity in its final act, but it accrues just enough stylistic points and storytelling rhythm to power all the way through.

Ace in the Hole (1951)

  • Criterion Collection, Wilder, Billy
  • 1951, Billy Wilder, USA
  • Leave a comment

Kirk Douglas is sensational as an amoral journalist with an acerbic wit, who exploits the news of a man trapped in a cave, as Wilder gives us one of his most cynical films.

Blood Diamond (2006)

  • Others
  • 2006, Edward Zwick, USA
  • 2 Comments

Generally entertaining political actioner about diamond smuggling in Sierra Leone, though it rarely escapes Hollywoodโ€™s fetishised view of a bloodshed-laden Africa.ย

Erin Brockovich (2000)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 5 Comments

A David versus Goliath true story done right by Soderbergh, featuring two outstanding performances from Julia Roberts and Albert Finney.

Matchstick Men (2003)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2003, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • Leave a comment

Ridley Scott directs a rare crime-comedy in this sentimental flick starring an underrated Nicolas Cage as a germophobic con artist who must contend with the unexpected appearance of his long-lost daughter.ย
