Bram Stoker’s mythical novel, Dracula, has fueled many wonderful films: Nosferatu, Blood for Dracula, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, to name a few.

John Carpenter is the king of 80s genre movies, bringing us gems like They Live, Big Trouble in Little China, and, of course, Halloween. But one of the wonderful videos that is a little underrated, in my opinion, is the science one. Fi romance Starman. La story centers on an alien who crashes on Earth and takes the form of a widow’s deceased husband. Directed by John Carpenter, the film stars Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges as the extraterrestrial being who will have to succeed in a montage.

As a director, Luc Besson is known for his striking visual images (in films such as The Fifth Element), his fast-paced action (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), his avant-garde use of music (Leon: The Professional). But as in almost all his films, it is also appreciated for its eclectic storytelling and its strong female protagonist. And that extends to a story he didn’t even direct for Columbiana, which follows a young woman who embarks on a relentless search. seeking revenge after witnessing the murder of his parents. Directed by Olivier Megaton, this action-mystery stars Zoe Saldana as Cataleya, a professional assassin trained through her uncle (played by Cliff Curtis) who leaves a trail of orchid-scarred bodies while hunting. the cartel guilty of the death of his family. The film mixes the kind of high-octane action expected from a Besson story with a deeply moving revenge story, superbly conveyed through Saldana’s physical prowess and emotional transmission.
Spike Lee’s career has been marked by several ebbs and flows as he constantly maneuvers between genres, from comedy to mystery to political drama. And while many fine actors have appeared in his films, from Danny Aiello in Do the Right Thing to Wesley Snipes in Jungle Fever to John David Washington in BlackKklansman, no actor has had as much presence as Denzel Washington. Star of Mo’ Better Blues and Malcolm a tense confrontation, with hidden agendas on all sides that are revealed in reality but slowly. This box office good fortune (the film grossed $184 million in theaters) stars Washington as detective Keith Frazier, who will have to negotiate with the cunning thief Dalton Russell, played by Clive Owen. As the situation escalates, the arrival of a mysterious force agent, played by Jodie Foster, complicates matters. Overall, this trio delivers a tough lesson in ensemble acting that will keep your eyes glued to the story until the end.
If you’re a fan of modern horror, then you want to know about Ti West. And if you don’t know the name. . . then your next movie marathon deserves to be made up of his impressive films, like The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, In a Valley of Violence. . . Oh, and don’t forget X. sections desolate rural areas. Texas, this story follows an adult film crew who rents a remote farm to produce their new film. But their plans are soon interrupted when their elderly hosts reveal their violent side. Starring Mia Goth, Brittany Snow, Jenna Ortega and Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), this movie within a movie offers a scathing observation of our country at a crossroads in the 1970s, when individualism took over. began to take control. On nationalism and collectivism. Goth’s performance, which takes on new and profound levels while watching the film’s fantastical prequel, Pearl, is unforgettable, as her character shows the importance of placing herself in such a transformative landscape. (If you want to understand the deeper themes and meaning of X, check out this very long and very cheesy explanation. )
The concept of “fashion designer-turned-filmmaker” turns out to be a recipe for disaster. Luckily for Tom Ford, who unveiled his eponymous logo in 2005 and was artistic director of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, he managed to translate his sublime and complicated aesthetic into film. And his first film, A Single Man, was a resounding success. The story follows a grieving professor named George (played by Colin Firth) who contemplates suicide after the sudden death of his longtime partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). As George navigates what is planned to be his last day, his encounters with a curious student (Nicholas Hoult) and his close friend Charley (Julianne Moore) offer glimpses of connection and hope. Thanks to Ford’s meticulous steering and Firth’s deep attention. With a poignant performance (which earned him an Academy Award nomination), A Single Man is a visually striking and emotionally rich exploration of love and loss.
While we’ve all been waiting for a long time for Quentin Tarantino to announce that it will be his tenth and final film, we want to continually revisit his frame of paintings so far, which includes films like Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, and Reservoir. But his longest and most entertaining film to date has to be the Kill Bill duology. This eclectic combination of many styles and influences tells the story of a bride left for dead on her wedding day. Uma Thurman plays “The Bride,” who wakes up from a coma with only one mission: to eliminate those who betrayed her. This non-linear saga takes The Bride around the world facing fatal killers, an adventure driven through the marks of a Tarantino film, with a wild soundtrack. , exaggerated violence and a relentless combination of homage and fusion of genres. Combining martial arts, westerns and samurai cinema, Kill Bill’s videos create a visually striking spectacle with a deeply felt story at the center.
Sometimes you watch a movie for its incredibly moving dramatic story, or its incredibly hilarious synergy, or its electrifying, thrilling action. But each and every once in a while. . . all you want is a “dumb” movie. And by that I mean a smart, unpretentious time that tells an undeniable story, that only aims to provide entertainment in its most fundamental form. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this and, in fact, it is not undeniably achieved in the Meg 2: The Trench stages. Directed by Ben Wheatley, this surely wild, self-aware and unconventional film finds Jason Statham returning as Jonas Taylor, a diver who has taken the lead in the fight against the terror of prehistoric megasharks. This sequel delves into the abyss, where Jonas and his team will have to fight these monstrous creatures and discover the secrets hidden in the darkest corners of the ocean. With truly impressive underwater action and thrilling suspense, Meg 2: The Trench ramps up the excitement, without ever sacrificing the zany, campy presentation of such an absurd premise.
It is highly unlikely that the co-founder of the Dogme 95 movement, whose goal was to strip cinema of its artifice and embrace a raw and original narrative taste, will be able to continue making incredibly provocative and polarizing films starring some of Hollywood’s biggest figures. icons. But that’s precisely how Lars von Trier’s career played out when he directed films like Dogville (starring Nicole Kidman), Manderlay (Bryce Dallas Howard), and The House That Jack Built (Matt Dillon). This series also includes Melancholia, which features an all-star cast including Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kiefer Sutherland, as well as the father-son team of Stellan and Alexander Skarsgård. They all depict characters fighting through their final days as a rogue planet hurtles towards Earth. Dunst plays Justine, a woman suffering from deep depression over her lavish wedding, while Gainsbourg plays her sister Claire, who struggles to keep the family together as the celestial body threatens annihilation. The film is full of von Trier’s trademarks, adding rich and haunting symbolic imagery, a sumptuous, almost supernatural color palette, and a bold embrace of romantic art to depict the nature of humanity.
It’s hard to make a list like this without adding one of my ten most sensible horror films of the 1980s. At a time when filmmakers were imitating each other when it came to slashers, a select few were creating their own brand, and Wes Craven was definitely at the head of this group. And although he made several wonderful films before 1984, A Nightmare on Elm Street was by far the pinnacle of him in film up to that point. This vintage focuses on the sleepy town of Springwood, where a group of teenagers are pursued by none other than the iconic Freddy Krueger (masterfully played by Robert Englund), a vengeful specter who stalks his victims while they sleep. Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) becomes the target of Freddy’s malicious plans and she will have to get to the bottom of the mystery of her infernal origins to survive. As the line between dreams and truth blurs, Nancy and her friends’ (including a starring role from Johnny Depp) fight for her lives intensifies. This absolutely redefined the horror genre and introduced audiences to one of cinema’s most enduring villains. It is a jewel that still stands today.
