OUR 100th MOVIE: SEVEN SAMURAI (1954)

Akira Kurosawa invented many of the tropes of the modern action movie in this great Japanese epic.

Showbiz is an eternal, elemental struggle in one of the greatest of all satires.

John Wayne drags a handsome guy around the American West because he is so racist. It’s kind of like the Odyssey.

Francois Truffaut’s debut about his own wayward childhood still feels fresh today.

The only movie I’ve ever seen where the guy likes the girl more after she puts on glasses.

B-Movie Horror may have reached its zenith with this collaboration of William Castle and Vincent Price.

A highly-acclaimed, aggressively minimalist, story about the disconnect between Japanese parents and their adult children.

You can watch this camp horror classic with us at our first ever “Watch Party” at 6:30 EDT/9:30 PDT on October 23.

The decaying remains of 1920s Hollywood entrap a hack writer and lure him to his doom.

Perhaps Hitchcock’s weirdest, most dream-like film, it makes no sense, but it also might be perfect.
