Michael Mann's incredibly moving, atmospheric crime piece is a must watch. The film has this walk-on-water effect that will leave you in a pleasing, dream-like state.
They say it's Wes Craven's most satisfying film; maybe, maybe not. Regardless, it's just plain fun and unique. You'll never see another horror film quite like it and you certainly won't be disappointed. "A literal redistribution of wealth"---you'll understand what I mean by the end of the movie.
If you watched this when you were a kid on VHS, like I did, you'll be wowed at the picture quality. Arrow did a bang up job. Fun to remember the nostalgia!
Probably the best film Spike Lee has ever made. It's a powerful, brutal masterpiece that cuts right through the heart of America. Can't go wrong, must-see!
In 1977 all the talk was about Star Wars. But a little film called Annie Hall won best picture (and much deservedly too!). One of the most brilliantly directed films in all of cinema. And it hasn't aged a bit.
Friedkin is the master of this kind of movie. Gritty, raw and real. A good follow-up would be his masterpiece from the mid 80's titled "To Live and Die in L.A."
