Do the Right Thing
"A pulsating homage to life on New York's streets, achieved thanks to Lee's sleepless eye, but a passionate-yet-dignified study of racism, too."—Lloyd Bradley, EMPIRE MAGAZINE
Spike Lee's racial and political filmmaking bent is given the full treatment with this simmering exposé of racial tensions in a New York City neighborhood one scorching summer day. The film, written by Lee (and nominated for an Oscar), follows a group of racially diverse inhabitants from...[more]

Swingers
"A Swinging good time! Vaughn is a revelation."—Clint Morris, MOVIEHOLE

Vertigo
"James Stewart, on camera almost constantly, comes through with a startlingly fine performance as the lawyer-cop who suffers from acrophobia."—VARIETY
Vertigo is Alfred Hitchcock's haunting tale of deception, madness, and death--a masterful exploration of fantasy and anxiety. The film ranks with REAR WINDOW as one of the director's most closely studied films for its psychological complexity, while the obsession of its...[more]

Beetlejuice
"A vehicle perfectly tailored for Burton’s peculiar eye."—Keith Breese, FILMCRITIC.COM

USA, 1988, 92 min, Rated PG, Directed by Tim Burton
John Carpenter's The Thing

Based on both the short story by John W. Campbell, Jr. and the 1951 film produced by Howard Hawks, THE THING is John Carpenter's stunning masterpiece of horror.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
"Like most of his work, Stanley Kubrick's deadly black satirical comedy-thriller on cold war madness and its possible effects (1964) has aged well."—Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is Stanley Kubrick's Cold War masterpiece. Based on the novel RED ALERT by Peter George, the film is set at the height of the tensions between Russia and the United States, when all it would take to destroy the world was one push of...[more]
USA, 1964, 93 min, Rated PG, Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Tron

Die Hard
"A landmark film that breathed life and originality into an area of cinema where only formulas were proven reliable."—Derek Smith, CINEMATIC REFLECTIONS
One of the greatest action movies of the late 1980s, DIE HARD ushered in a new standard for the genre. With the dissolution of the Cold War, both the stereotypical Russian threat (represented in movies such as TOP GUN and RED DAWN) and the destructive egoist (as seen in OCTOPUSSY) became less...[more]
