You Can Count on Me
In a film driven by its characters, You Can Count on Me is overflowing with human performances that lend themselves to a feeling of realness rarely seen in dramedies like this one, something that Lonergan excels at, and which makes this one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
Husbands and Wives
Judy Davis’s strong turn as the wildly entertaining Sally only does so much to distract the audience from Woody Allen’s well-written defense of his own troubling life choices, which make this film great, but probably shouldn’t earn it a spot on anyone’s must-watch list.
Eastern Promises
Strong leading performances go hand in hand with an authentic and compelling mob narrative in Eastern Promises to make it one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
An Officer and a Gentleman
An Officer and a Gentleman is a near perfect blend of 1980s synth-y music, cheesy romance, and military drama, augmented by some skillful performances from its main actors.
The Buddy Holly Story
Phenomenal music from start to finish blends well with Busey’s performance as the titular Buddy Holly and makes The Buddy Holly Story one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
Seven Days in May
A classic political thriller, Seven Days in May triumphs through its skillful acting and consistently resonant themes of hope in democracy and peace over fascism and militarism.
