- DirectorRichard BrooksStarsWarren BeattyGoldie HawnGert FröbeA bank security expert plots with a call girl to rob three safety deposit boxes containing $1.5 million in cash belonging to three very different criminals from a high-tech security bank in Hamburg, Germany.Sadly neglected but incredibly fun movie with a half an hour long car chase scene and some of the best wit and humour put onto the screen in 1971.
- DirectorYann DemangeStarsJack O'ConnellSam ReidSean HarrisIn 1971, a young and disoriented British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the deadly streets of Belfast.Brutal, harsh and cold, this harrowing thriller based on true events shows the struggle of politics as a soldier is left behind in Belfast during a political division.

- DirectorJohn S. RobertsonStarsRichard BarthelmessMay McAvoyIda WatermanA crippled World War I veteran retracts to a small cottage in the countryside to escape from his nosy family and to hide from the outside world. There he meets a plain but also a very kind young woman. She reveals to him that the house he is staying in is in fact a very old honeymoon cottage. Spirits of newlyweds from the past, who are still swirling through the cottage, soon cast a love spell upon them.Romantic fantasy melodrama with elements of magic realism about a pair who fall in love after spirits put a love spell over them.
- DirectorWilliam KeighleyStarsJames CagneyMargaret LindsayAnn DvorakJames Cagney helped jump-start the gangster genre as The Public Enemy. Outcries against movies that glorified underworld criminals put Cagney on the side of the law in 'G' Men.One of James Cagney’s first conformist movies (which, to me, isn’t a good thing,) started a bit of a rebellion itself between Cagney’s film career. This movie demonstrates the greatness of the American government and the laws it establishes.
- DirectorMichael PowellEmeric PressburgerStarsWendy HillerRoger LiveseyPamela BrownA young Englishwoman goes to the Hebrides to marry her older, wealthier fiancé. When the weather keeps them separated on different islands, she begins to have second thoughts.An emotional movie that will make you fall in love with the beautiful landscape of Scotland again and again, this dreamy and spectacular movie with additional surrealism will possibly make you feel at home.
- DirectorCurtis VowellStarsSophie HendersonStephen LovattJarod RawiriTania thinks she's Maori. She works the graveyard shift at Horizon to save money to take her brother Pi to Surfers. But one night a cheeky little bird ruins everything and Tania pays the ultimate price for being a hero.Gripping character study that tackles racism, the everyday ordinary dirt under our normal lives and the mind we have to wake up to every morning and sleep with every night, an emotional, hard and gripping New Zealand movie that will instantly grab you by the arm and say, “Listen.”
- DirectorLeslie HowardStarsLeslie HowardFrancis L. SullivanAllan JeayesProfessor Horatio Smith, while seeming very unassuming, rescues victims of Nazi persecution during World War II.A fun anti-Nazi romp with the good old-fashioned Leslie Howard!
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsMatthew McConaugheyAnne HathawayJessica ChastainWhen Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans.A spectacular, visually stunning science fiction movie that revolves around both the depth of human emotions as well as it’s setting. This movie also shares both views on individualism and collectivism, which I think is a good thing when a movie shows both sides of an argument.
- DirectorNorman JewisonStarsAl PacinoJack WardenJohn ForsytheA lawyer is forced to defend a judge, while defending other clients, and trying to find punishment for the guilty and provide justice for the innocent.Brilliant, rebellious, and necessary. You must watch it, and even if you disagree at first, it will turn your table and stare you in the eye. After all, haven’t the movie have time to stare at you after you’ve been staring at it for so long?
- DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsChristopher LambertSean ConneryClancy BrownAn immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his immortal opponents, a murderously brutal barbarian who lusts for the fabled "Prize".Fascinating, surreal and adventurous fable that spans across years and centuries, centering on the life of an immortal from Ancient times to the 1980s. A masterpiece, combined with a brilliant soundtrack and a memorable stroyline that you’ll still remember even through the ages. One of my favourite 1980’s movies.
- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsScarlett JohanssonJeremy McWilliamsLynsey Taylor MackayA mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.I have no idea why this got panned by some people. For me, it was a descent into the macabre, a descent into the forbidden and unknown, and it was truly far more terrifying than any other movie I’ve seen. This is also one of my favourite movies of all time because of how strange and surreal it is, so I definetly highly reccomend this, even if I’m being incredibly self-centered in doing so.
- DirectorRichard FleischerStarsRichard AttenboroughJudy GeesonJohn HurtWhat happened to the women at 10 Rillington Place? The story of British serial killer John Christie, who committed most or all of his crimes in the titular terraced house, and the miscarriage of justice involving Timothy Evans.Realistic, brutal and harrowing movie based on a true story about the murders surrounding 10 Rillington Place, in which a seemingly ordinary man turns out to be a serial killer.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsCamilla BelleSteven StraitMarco KhanIn the prehistoric past, D'Leh is a mammoth hunter who bonds with the beautiful Evolet. When warriors on horseback capture Evolet and the tribesmen, D'Leh must embark on an odyssey to save his true love.I know this got bad reviews, but this is the very definition of iconic epic. It may not be a masterpiece, but there’s something nostalgic about having an iconic movie like this where the poster sells more than the tickets. Highly recommended for people who love entertainment as well as BC history.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsSandra PeabodyLucy GranthamDavid HessTwo teenage girls heading to a rock concert for one's birthday try to score marijuana in the city, where they are kidnapped and brutalized by a gang of psychopathic convicts.A terrifyingly disturbing movie about a group of teenagers who decide to look for drugs but are taken in and brutalized by a group of sadists. This movie, a remake of The Virgin Spring, is a flawed masterpiece because of it’s cold, unflinching atmosphere, and will even make you question whether or not remakes can sometimes work.
- DirectorMario Van PeeblesStarsWesley SnipesIce-TAllen PayneA crime lord ascends to power and becomes megalomaniacal while a maverick police detective vows to stop him.A great, brilliant and astounding motion picture that tackles the world of gangsters as well as common 1990’s racism. While it may be badly edited, it adds to it’s originality and so far it’s one of the most original gangster movies I have ever seen. I know what you’re thinking, “Why not The Godfather?” But this movie has it all, it’s entertaining, it’s artistic, and it’s downright brutal in some parts as well as emotional. Watch it!
- DirectorJames B. ClarkStarsTed EcclesTheodore BikelTudi WigginsAs young Sam Gribley runs away he learns about nature.For all the lucky individuals out there in the world who are sick of society and want freedom.
- DirectorJerzy AntczakStarsJadwiga BaranskaJerzy BinczyckiEmir BuczackiAn epic saga of the Niechcic family, told from a woman's perspective. In 1914 in the war-torn Kaliniec, Barbara Niechcic remembers her youthful love, marriage hardships, family life in the countryside and finally her husband's death.After all these rebellious movies, it may be too much to ask for a conservative movie, but you don’t have to prepare any yawns. This movie, while set in an entirely traditional setting and characters, is actually a realistic view on how people lived through tradition and how some views they shared were wrong and the other views they shared were right. Definetly a beautiful movie, but beware, it’s traditional.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstWillem DafoeAfter being bitten by a genetically-modified spider, a shy teenager gains spider-like abilities that he uses to fight injustice as a masked superhero and face a vengeful enemy.I really do have a soft spot in my heart for this movie, Spiderman, with Tobey Maguire, an actor who has the guts to shed his own blood on the screen for an ungrateful audience like us. This movie is brilliant, it’s nostalgic, it’s timeless, it’s adventurous, and whenever I watch it I always feel like a child again.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstAlfred MolinaPeter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a former brilliant scientist named Otto Octavius.Again, this is the same as the first one.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstTopher GraceA strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.And same again, but I’ll want to add another note onto this. Believe me, this is not as bad as some critics have pushed it; it’s a brilliant metaphoric movie that gives us a glimpse into the darkness hidden inside ourselves. Maybe I overdid it when I said that, especially for a superhero movie, but no matter it’s social rank, I love it.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Paul BelmondoJean SebergVan DoudeA small-time crook, hunted by the authorities for a car theft and the murder a police officer, attempts to persuade a hip American journalism student to run away with him to Italy.This was an incredibly ground-breaking, revolutionary movie for it’s time because of it’s stylish, fast-paced quick takes and editing. Back before the 1960’s, avant garde cinema did exist and there were many experiments, but none were quite so rare as Breathless itself! This isn’t a movie for all the boring people out there who want a boring “true story” or “one about the Queen,” this is a fantastic movie for rebels like me. See it.
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTom HanksMichael Clarke DuncanDavid MorseA tale set on death row, where gentle giant John Coffey possesses the mysterious power to heal people's ailments. When the lead guard, Paul Edgecombe, recognizes John's gift, he tries to help stave off the condemned man's execution.This movie has been called racist, but it really isn’t. In fact, it’s anti-racism, because it shows how a black man is falsely accused of rape and murder, and the fact that he has magical powers really isn’t a stereotype at all, it’s beautiful. Some of the scenes with Michael Clarke Duncan are some of the most emotional I’ve seen in a long time, and the execution scenes are brutal and harrowingly impacting. This is a masterpiece for everyone, black, white, male, female, conformist, rebel, and perhaps even aliens one day.
- DirectorJohn SaylesStarsMary McDonnellAlfre WoodardAngela BassettAfter an accident leaves her a paraplegic, a former soap opera star struggles to recover both emotionally and mentally, until she meets her newest nurse, who has struggles of her own.This is a brilliant melodrama about self-discovery and how it transforms two people in a bonding friendship, a white paraplegic woman and a black woman. This tackles down a lot of personal and social issues that paraplegics would of had and still have today, and for that, along with a beautiful soundtrack and sweeping cinematography, it’s beautiful. It really is.
- DirectorBertrand TavernierStarsDexter GordonFrançois CluzetGabrielle HakerA troubled, but talented musician flees the US to escape his problems, finding refuge and support in Paris.Great jazz movie about the heart of the soul, the heart of the music and wonder of it all...jazz. Before La La Land, before Mo Better Blues, there was ‘Round Midnight, the jazz defining movie of the 80’s. It’s old school, it’s fun, it’s got heart and soul, it’s astounding...what more can one want?
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsAsa ButterfieldChloë Grace MoretzChristopher LeeIn 1931 Paris, an orphan living in the walls of a train station gets wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.This is a beautiful movie for the real movie fanatics out there. It’s magical, it’s inspirational, it’s inaginative, it’s innocent and yet it contains all these ideas of the world in just one movie. Let your feelings be free, let yourself be a child, and become fascinated and enthralled into this wondrous world they call “Hugo.”
- DirectorTom MooreStarsSissy SpacekAnne BancroftEd BerkeA mother and daughter spend a night together after the daughter reveals that she will kill herself by the end of it.This is a very, very, VERY historically significant movie because of it’s depiction of epilepsy in the 1980’s. This movie follows the lives of a depressed, dissapointed woman and her epileptic, hasty mother, and how one day the dissapointed one just can’t take it anymore and decides to give it all up at once. Touching, heart-wrenching and tragic, this one will make you cry.
- DirectorLav DiazStarsPiolo PascualJohn Lloyd CruzHazel OrencioThe search for the body of Andres Bonifacio.Like I said, I’m a rebel, so of course there’s going to be a lot of surreal experimental work on here. Directed by Lav Diaz, a film director who directs notoriously long movies, made this strange, hallucinatory experience called A Lullaby To The Sorrowful Mystery. Watch if you want your brain turned upside down.
- DirectorRiki OkamuraStarsAsae ÔnishiKazuko KatôKaori Torii'1 Litre of Tears' is a Japanese movie mainly based on a published version of Diary.I do not know much about the background for this film, but what I do know is that the bits I have seen from it, such as the movie trailer, it looks fantastic. A wonderful, beautiful and heart-felt melodrama set in the beautiful Asian landscape...believe it or not, I see it as a masterpiece without seeing it.
- DirectorEon-hie LeeStarsLim Soo-jungKim Rae-wonLee Mi-sookMi-na, a high school student living alone with her mother, dreams of having the perfect boyfriend. But can any man hope to live up to her image of the ideal partner?A touching, real and heart-felt romantic comedy about an introvert and an extrovert who, despite their differences, fall in love. One to watch on New Years Eve.
- DirectorCharles Taze RussellThe Photo-Drama of Creation, is a four-part Christian film produced by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. The film presents the Bible's account of God's plan from the creation of the earth through to the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ.Well, sure, I’m a rebel, but everyone needs to see both sides of an argument. This movie shows the story of the Bible, told as if it were true, from Genesis all the way to Jesus’s crucifixion. Great movie and very important significantly in history because of it’s retelling of the bible and it’s length but, while I haven’t seen it yet, it does look very episodic. I’m still interested, don’t get me wrong.
- DirectorJean-Pierre MelvilleStarsAlain DelonBourvilGian Maria VolontèAfter leaving prison, master thief Corey crosses paths with a notorious escapee and an alcoholic former policeman. The trio proceed to plot an elaborate heist.This isn’t exactly experimental cinema, but it is a form of an experiment with cinema that I think people who love “true stories” would appreciate too. What makes this a form of experiment is because there is a long heist scene done without any talking, and that’s really interesting and ground-breaking for it’s time. Great, exciting neo noir thriller that I’m sure the whole family would enjoy.
- DirectorBéla TarrStarsMihály VigPutyi HorváthLászló feLugossyOn the eve of a large payment, residents of a collapsing collective farm see their plans turn into desolation when they discover that Irimiás, a former co-worker who they thought was dead, is returning to the community.Emptiness, worthlessness, engulfing your mind...isn’t it painful? Mustn’t you want to rebel? If so, then watch Satantango, and see the darkness our hard hearts are covered in when everything goes to ruin.
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsAnatoliy SolonitsynIvan LapikovNikolay GrinkoThe life, times and afflictions of the fifteenth-century Russian iconographer St. Andrei Rublev.Brilliant artistic melodrama and biography that is, in fact, a “true story!” But, believe it or not, it also has elements of “experimental cinema!” So, we’re both happy, you and I, when we’ll watch this movie.
- DirectorHans-Jürgen SyberbergStarsHeinz SchubertPeter KernHellmut LangeDirector Hans-Jurgen Syberberg examines the rise and fall of the Third Reich in this brooding seven-hour masterpiece, which incorporates puppetry, rear-screen projection, and a Wagnerian score into a singular epic vision. Syberberg, who grew up under Nazi tyranny, ruminates on good and evil and the rest of humanity's complicity in the horrors of the holocaust.This is a very, very, very, very, very important movie historically, and it’s self-explanatory as to why. The fact that we are given a portrait of a monstrous animal and are expected to see him as a human is difficult, but this movie succeeds in doing that. Not for the weak minds out there, and only for knowledgable idiots like you and I who understand film.
- DirectorSergey BondarchukStarsLyudmila SavelevaVyacheslav TikhonovSergey BondarchukThe Russian aristocracy prepares for the French invasion on the eve of 1812.While not the original War And Peace movie, this is the epic Russian version that cost more than half a billion to make compared to modern currency! An epic movie based on a book made in it’s homeland that shows us both sides of conformity and rebellion, war and peace, and whether or not we must stand aside or take action, and how we shall.
- DirectorJohn FordStarsJack HawkinsAnna LeeAnna MasseyA typical day for Scotland Yard Chief Inspector George Gideon consists of working on several cases at the same time.Coppies!
- DirectorManoel de OliveiraStarsLuís Miguel CintraPatricia BarzykAnne ConsignyDuring the century of the Spanish Gold, Doña Prouhèze, wife of a nobleman, deeply loves Don Rodrigo, who is forced to leave Spain and go to America. Meanwhile Prouhèze is sent to Africa to rule the city of Mogador. Ten years later Rodrigo leaves America and travels to Africa in search of Prouhèze to find out that she died and eventually meeting her daughter.Again, tradition, tradition, but we’re showing both sides of the argument here. I haven’t seen this, but this looks like a beautiful, sweeping historical melodrama to me which had a lot of heart put into it and because of the long runtime the emotions won’t feel crammed and you’ll have breathing space.
- DirectorRodrigo GuerreroStarsCarlos EchevarríaEmiliano DionisiNicolás ArmengolAfter meeting in a chat room, Fede (22) arrives at a downtown building to have an intimate encounter with a gay couple older than him. As the night unfolds, Fede has an intense and telling experience. The next morning finds him different, as if suddenly he had found a new possible way to love.It might just look like gay erotica to you, but believe me, it actually does look sensual, sure, but in a very artistic, deep and meaningful way. It’s a movie about a threesome, but it also gives us a glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of each one of them, and it’s also a great example of sexuality rebellion.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsIngrid ThulinGunnar BjörnstrandGunnel LindblomA small-town priest struggles with his faith.This was a very important movie for it’s time, especially in the 1960’s, when doubt of religion was increasing. This movie shows the view of a priest and his doubts on his own beliefs and how he questions these himself is what makes the movie so good, yet so powerful. Good performances all around from Gunnar Bjornstrand, Ingrid Thulin and Max Von Sydow.
- DirectorMike NewellStarsHugh GrantAndie MacDowellJames FleetOver the course of five social occasions, a committed bachelor must consider the notion that he may have discovered love.A very snobbish, conservative, English royal movie that I actually really enjoyed. The cast, the director and the script writer all join together to make one brilliant movie about a sensible yet mistiming man who falls head over heels over a woman he shouldn’t really love in society. Good movie!
- DirectorMasaharu TakeStarsSakura AndôHirofumi AraiYôzaburô ItôA 32-year-old woman living with her parents meets a boxer and finally starts a life.I know what you’re thinking: MORE boring commentary?! Alright, I’ll stop and give you some breathing space for you to think whether or not you’ll want to see these.
- DirectorManoel de OliveiraStarsLuís Miguel CintraDiogo DóriaMiguel GuilhermeEpisodes from entire military history of Portugal are told through flashbacks as a professorish soldier recounts them while marching through a Portuguese African colony in 1973. He easily draws his comrades into philosophical musings, and the little contingent suffers badly at the hands of the local military opposition.
