2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1968, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 18 Comments

Kubrickโ€™s most influential film still remains way ahead of its time and is arguably the greatest sci-fi film ever made.

Paths of Glory (1957)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1957, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 5 Comments

One of the most potent anti-war films ever made… so powerful it makes your blood boil at how some humans can be so despicable.

Killing, The (1956)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1956, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 1 Comment

Kubrick treats the crime-noir genre in a revolutionary non-linear storytelling way in what is one of the most effective American heist films ever made.

Night on Earth (1991)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1991, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 1 Comment

Five uneven vignettes shot in different cities centering on conversations between cab drivers and passengersโ€”this is Jarmusch in easy-going mode as he captures the pathos of human connection.

Farewell, The (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, USA
  • 4 Comments

Billed as one of the yearโ€™s best pictures, and quite rightly so, as the filmโ€™s mastery of its tragicomic tone and a solid ensemble cast combine to reach both tearjerking and comedic highs.

Hangover, The (2009)

  • Popular
  • 2009, Todd Phillips, USA
  • Leave a comment

4.5 stars

This is highly-accomplished raunchy comedy filmmaking for the modern age, and no doubt one of the best films of 2009.

Joker (2019)

  • Popular
  • 2019, Todd Phillips, USA
  • 8 Comments

What a strange and risk-taking studio movie this isโ€”a disturbingly-violent Hollywood-style if also arthouse-type character study that just about holds everything together thanks to a killer performance by Joaquin Phoenix.

Port Authority (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, USA
  • Leave a comment

This debut feature may be raw at times, but thereโ€™s an undeniable organic quality to the filmmaking about a young man who meets a trans woman in the New York kiki scene.

Midsommar (2019)

  • Aster, Ari
  • 2019, Ari Aster, USA
  • 3 Comments

Ari Asterโ€™s sophomore effort may be too disturbing for the uninitiated viewer, but its strange, otherworldly quality is an experience like no other.

Hereditary (2018)

  • Aster, Ari
  • 2018, Ari Aster, USA
  • 4 Comments

Not even Toni Colletteโ€™s arresting performance or the filmโ€™s excellent craftsmanship can save this rather uncompelling and overrated horror mystery.
