IndieWire’s 35 Disturbing Foreign Films to Watch
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. World cinema has given us plenty of auteurs hell-bent on creating the most disturbing experience possible, from Pier Paolo Pasolini to Catherine Breillat, Gaspar Noe, and Takashi Miike. Below, IndieWire highlights a selection of foreign-language films likely to keep you up at night terrified, or thinking, or both. Leave it to any country except the U.S. to render the worst possible horrors, psychological, physical, and otherwise, onscreen in unflinching detail. While some of these films listed below are, in fact, outright horror films, others take a more psychic or spiritual approach to peeling back on society’s, and humankind’s, worst tendencies — or while querying war, faith, or sexuality. While many of the directors highlighted here made a personal brand out of pushing the limits of extreme storytelling, consider the below just a selection (or starter kit, if you will) to prime you for further viewing. -
IndieWire's Best Animated Films of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. [quote=IndieWire]Pixar and Studio Ghibli tend to spring to mind first when discussing great animation, but there’s a world beyond those two giants. Animated films have grown ever more artful and affecting as more and more folks realize that it’s never just been a medium for kids, with studios and indies alike creating stop-motion marvels, hand-drawn standouts, and CGI spectacles. The genre has grown so much since we entered the current century, in fact, that it can be easy to forget the Academy Awards didn’t even recognize animation until 2001. As few as three movies were nominated per year until 2010, but since then animation’s increased prominence has been reflected in the race’s competitiveness. Not every worthy movie could make the cut on either the awards circuit or this list, sadly, but rest assured that “How to Train Your Dragon,” “The Secret of Kells,” “The Breadwinner,” and “Loving Vincent,” to name just a few, are very honorable mentions. IndieWire first launched a shorter version of this list in November 2017. Given the extraordinary number of great animated films released since then and ongoing reappraisal of films previously released, now is the time for an update.[/quote] -
IndieWire's Our 15 Favorite Prison Breaks at the Movies
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. The Playlist Staff Oct 15, 2013 2:01 pm “You’ll like it, it’s about a prison break” says Andy Dufresne in “The Shawshank Redemption” about the book they’re shelving, Alexander Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo.” “We oughta file that under ‘educational’ too, oughtn’t we?” quips Red in reply, and indeed, with the sheer number of prison escape books and movies that exist, you’d imagine that all a really dedicated inmate has to do is watch or read enough of them before they’d stumble across a plot that could be adapted for their own situation. (Note: The Playlist does not condone real-life attempts at fleeing prison unless you’re totally innocent, a prisoner of war or you have a really cool plan that involves disguises and dummies and stuff.) This week a movie in a similar vein is released and we highly doubt it will be accused of having any educational content whatsoever: “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/escape+plan/]Escape Plan[/url].” Starring brawny side of aged beef Sylvester Stallone and tanned leather pommel horse Arnold Schwarzenegger, the film puts “the world’s foremost authority on structural security” (that’s a thing?) into the “world’s most top-secret escape-proof prison” (also a thing?) and has him team up with his cellmate to devise an exit strategy while also finding out who framed him and why. While this film (previously titled “The Tomb”) may look dumber than a bucket of hair, and has been strangely un-buzzy despite its starry cast (Jim Caviezel, 50 Cent, Vincent D’Onofrio, Vinnie Jones and Amy Ryan also appear), we’re fully prepared to accept that it’s could be a lot of fun in a brainless, unreconstructed way, mainly because as often-visited as the territory may be, we have kind of a weakness for prison break films, even when they’re ever so silly. Perhaps it’s something metaphorical about anti-authoritarianism and sticking it to the man or perhaps we’ve killed a bunch of people (watch those critical comments guys!) and realize it’s just a matter of time before we’re caught and incarcerated ourselves. Whatever the truth is here’s a jolly good sampler of 15 of our arbitrarily chosen favorite movie prison breaks, and what we might be able to learn from them. Be warned, though, since we’re talking about the success or failure of the schemes, here be *SPOILERS* throughout. There are a gazillion prison break films, of course, ranging from all-out comedies (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+parole+officer/]The Parole Officer[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/lucky+break/]Lucky Break[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/stir+crazy/]Stir Crazy[/url]” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/o+brother+where+art+thouquestion/]O Brother Where Art Thou?[/url]” among others) to gritty dramas (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/papillon/]Papillon[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/midnight+express/]Midnight Express[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/brute+force/]Brute Force[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/runaway+train/]Runaway Train[/url]” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+defiant+ones/]The Defiant Ones[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/lonely+are+the+brave/]Lonely are the Brave[/url]” to name just a few) and hitting all points in between. And no doubt you’ll have your favorites that we missed out so feel free to shout them out in the comments below especially if there’s one that you feel boasts a particularly ingenious and/or foolproof plan. You never know, right? Note: List does not appear to be ranked.

IndieWire's The 101 Best Rom-Coms of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY ALISON FOREMAN FEBRUARY 14, 2024 5:15 PM There’s something uniquely cinematic about romantic comedies — something that makes them a natural fit for the movies and vice-versa. There’s an intoxicating alchemy that allows us to believe in the magic of meet-cutes, happily-ever-afters, and all the agonizing contrivances that tend to pop up between the two. Love it seems gives storytellers permission to transpose the stuff of operas and fables into the fabric of real (or at least overly glossed but still recognizable) life. On paper, a film like “Pretty Woman” might be a retrograde fairy tale about a sex worker with a heart of gold and the rich businessman who can afford it, but the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is so explosive that you surrender to the sentiment of it all. Literally nothing in Richard Curtis’ “Love Actually” makes sense if you stop and think about it for even a few seconds. The same could be said of Robert Iscove’s “She’s All That,” or Blake Edwards’ “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” And yet, love always seems to add up in that magical movie moment. Richard Curtis’ holiday-themed magnum opus was a British production (in case you couldn’t tell), but many of its storylines find something naggingly American about the aspirational nature of the rom-com genre. The genre seems to (incorrectly) suggest no other country is populated by such radically different strangers, nor so enriched by the unexpected collisions between them; from “Bringing Up Baby” to “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” Hollywood has always been eager to sell the idea that, in the United States, we’re all just one chance encounter away from happiness. That might help to explain — if only in part — why the rom-com canon is as white and heteronormative as the history of the American film business, and why that canon is ripe for re-evaluation now that Hollywood is reassessing the marketability of diverse love stories in the streaming age. In 2022, Nicholas Stoller’s “Bros” starring Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane made history as the first gay rom-com produced and distributed by a major movie studio. What’s more, the romantic comedy is a universal language. Other film industries — Bollywood most of all — have been churning these stories out for local audiences faster than Americans can hope to keep up. In that light, IndieWire’s list of the Best Romantic Comedies of All Time is more of a start than a final statement; it’s a living document that we’ll change up and add to as time goes by. One thing that will stay the same, however, is that rom-coms have a recognizable grammar all their own; meet-cutes, montages, banter, a weird preponderance of journalists, sex scenes that always indicate a dark turn at the end of the second act. These aren’t just love stories that happen to be funny, they’re a sacred art unto themselves. And these are the masterpieces that prove it. In honor of Valentine’s Day 2024, here are the 101 best romantic comedies ever made. Wilson Chapman, Anne Thompson, Chris O’Falt, Zack Sharf, Jude Dry, Ryan Lattanzio, Tambay Obenson, Tom Brueggemann, David Ehrlich, Eric Kohn, Kate Erbland, Samantha Bergeson, Proma Khosla, Mark Peikert, and Marcus Jones also contributed to this list.

Indiewire's The 25 Best Movies of 2023
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY DAVID EHRLICH, KATE ERBLAND. In hindsight, it shouldn’t be surprising that the cinema of 2023 was so preoccupied with the unknown, as the first proper year after the start of the pandemic was always going to find the movie industry plunging into a brave new world. Some of the most pressing questions we had at the start of January were answered with resounding force. Would the studios — some of which had fatally diluted their brands with streaming options in a desperate bid to appease the stock market — find that once-reliable franchises had lust their luster? Yes. Would audiences — so eager for a different breed of “event film” that they had already started to redefine the term themselves — actually follow through on the “Barbenheimer” meme that first spread across social media in late 2022? Yes. Would titans like Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Wes Anderson make good on the breathless chatter that surrounded their latest projects and predictably inspire some of the most illuminating and demented takes in the history of human opinion along the way? Absolutely. On the other hand, some of the year’s most pressing questions were harder to see coming in advance, although several of those have also been resolved as well to one degree or another. Would the strikes ever end? Good news! Would documentaries start to feel depressingly irrelevant in the face of a streaming ecosystem that’s made it all but impossible to market anything besides celebrity profiles and concert films? Kind of! (Festival highlights like “Milisuthando” are still awaiting distribution, while other major efforts like “Kokomo City,” “Four Daughters,” and the fittingly titled “A Still Small Voice” have struggled to be heard amid the ever-loudening din of movie discourse). Did David Zaslav learn a valuable lesson from the whole “Batgirl” disaster last summer? Not so much! And yet it was how the films themselves confronted the unknown that proved most notable about the year in cinema, as several of 2023’s defining movies found their characters and creators looking beyond the limits of their lived experience — or, in the case of “The Zone of Interest” and its timeless moral compartmentalizations, resisting the urge to do so at any cost. This, more than the happy coincidences of their shared release date, is what bonded “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” together; where one film saw heartfelt wonder, the other discovered unholy dread. That fascination with the unknown is the connective tissue between the mysteries of “Asteroid City” and “The Boy and the Heron,” between the real or imagined multi-verses of “Spider-Man” and “Past Lives,” and between Scorsese’s defeated humility at the end of “The Killers of the Flower Moon” and the barrister’s grinning arrogance throughout the courtroom scenes in “Anatomy of a Fall.” This was a year in which many of the most resonant movies tried to capture the past in hopelessly cracked vessels and/or embraced total disorder in a bid to reconcile the tensions of the present. Sure, there was comfort food par excellance courtesy of Frederick Wiseman and Tran Anh Hung, but even their films served as tasty reminders that great cinema always takes us just a little further into the future — or into ourselves — than we can dare to imagine without it. Here are IndieWire’s picks for the 25 best movies of 2023. This article includes contributions from Carlos Aguilar, Christian Blauvelt, Jude Dry, Sophie Monks Kaufman, and Ryan Lattanzio. -
IndieWire's The Best French Movies of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. By Eric Kohn and David Ehrlich Jun 30, 2017 10:27 am Cinema was one of the truly international phenomenons of the last millennium, but France — more so than any other nation — has always been one of the medium’s most essential guiding lights. From the pioneer era of the Lumiere brothers, to the revolutionary New Wave that expanded our understanding of film’s potential, to the country’s recent defense of the theatrical experience, France has always pushed the movies forward while reminding us what we love about them in the first place. No country did more to help propel cinema into the 20th Century, and no country has done more to help sustain its integrity and its potential in the 21st. From sultry thrillers to mind-blowing 3D experiments and one of the most heartbreakingly honest love stories ever told, these are the 25 best French films of the 21st Century. Note: To qualify for our list, a film had to be predominately French-language and at least partially French-funded. With one exception, all of the films on this list are also set in France, as well. -

J. Hoberman: 25 for 21
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. "People have been asking me so I thought I might as well join (or crash) the party initiated by [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/ny+times+25+best+films+of+the+21st+century.+so+far./knaldskalle/]The New York Times last week[/url] and put in my two cents regarding the 25 Best Films of the 21st Century (so far). I don’t see “everything” anymore and I haven’t been to Cannes since 2011 still there’s nothing that even a recovering film critic likes better than a list. My single “best” film-object (1) is followed by a list of 11 filmmakers and one academic production company (in order of “best-ness”) responsible for two or more “best films,” (2-28) these followed by another eight individual movies (again in order) (29-37) and finally four more tentatively advanced films (these alphabetical) (38-41). I’m sure I’m forgetting some but that’s the nature of the beast—or best." - J. Hoberman. -
