North by Northwest (1959)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1959, Alfred Hitchcock, USA
  • 9 Comments

This is one of Hitchcock’s crowning achievements where he perfected the picaresque pursuit as a flat-out entertainer.

Wrong Man, The (1956)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1956, Alfred Hitchcock, USA

A stylistic and narrativistic departure for Hitchcock that is anchored by solid performances by Henry Fonda and Vera Miles.

Rear Window (1954)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1954, Alfred Hitchcock, USA
  • 15 Comments

My personal favourite of all of Hitchcock’s works, this intelligent and suspenseful treatment on scopophilia and scopophobia in relation to gender, gaze theory and paranoia is also one of his finest achievements.

Junun (2015)

  • Anderson, Paul Thomas
  • 2015, Documentary, India, Paul Thomas Anderson, USA
  • Leave a comment

P.T. Andersonโ€™s mesmerising hour-long shot-in-India documentary about the coming together of musicians to record an album is a musical dream transcending its raw, no-frills production.

Kicking and Screaming (1995)

  • Baumbach, Noah, Criterion Collection
  • 1995, Noah Baumbach, USA
  • Leave a comment

A strong feature debut about postgraduation aimlessness that milks hilarity through an array of self-analytical characters who are far too absorbed in their own ennui to really think for themselves, but Baumbachโ€™s clever script does all the hard work for them.

Mystic River (2003)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2003, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • Leave a comment

Marking Eastwoodโ€™s late-career resurgence as a noteworthy filmmaker is this powerful drama about choices and consequences, backed by a solid ensemble cast that includes Oscar-winning performances by Sean Penn and Tim Robbins.

Gold Rush, The (1925)

  • Chaplin, Charles, Criterion Collection
  • 1925, charles chaplin, USA
  • Leave a comment

Chaplinโ€™s greatest box-office success in the silent era remains a cultural touchstoneโ€”a parable of greed, romance and peril that is as hilarious and touching now as it was a century ago.
