- DirectorWes AndersonStarsRalph FiennesF. Murray AbrahamMathieu AmalricA writer encounters the owner of an aging high-class hotel, who tells him of his early years serving as a lobby boy in the hotel's glorious years under an exceptional concierge.This film is uncompromisingly beautiful both audio-visually and thematically; if you don't feel giddy watching this, then you no longer have a soul.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsMichael StuhlbargRichard KindSari LennickLarry Gopnik, a Midwestern physics teacher, watches his life unravel over multiple sudden incidents. Though seeking meaning and answers amidst his turmoils, he seems to keep sinking.Darkly funny, masterfully arranged, with a theme that is crystal clear yet so rigorously developed that it can be subjected to tremendous analysis, A Serious Man is the Coens' most criminally underrated masterpiece.
- DirectorSpike JonzeStarsJoaquin PhoenixAmy AdamsScarlett JohanssonIn a near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need.Fantastic direction from Spike Jonze, and great performances all around. This movie excels at evoking complicated emotion and feeling through its presentation.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsHarrison FordRyan GoslingAna de ArmasYoung Blade Runner K's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for thirty years.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.Final Cut. The most atmospheric film of all time, bar none. I refuse to even argue the point.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsOscar IsaacCarey MulliganJohn GoodmanA week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.Great soundtrack, wonderful themes as always. I'm sorry that I'm such a shill for the Coens.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsDaniel Day-LewisPaul DanoCiarán HindsA story of family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, focusing on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.Performance, Direction, Score, Cinematography; the fact that I can't come up with anything wrong with this film says something. Also, I. DRINK. YOUR. MILKSHAKE.
- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsScarlett JohanssonJeremy McWilliamsLynsey Taylor MackayA mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.This is a film which decided to deliver 95% of its meaning through presentation. Deeply disturbing yet erotic (and deliberately confusing the two, of course), there is nothing quite like it. Furthermore, Mica Levi's haunting score embodies all the horror and beauty of this film's visuals and then some.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.Universally known as one of the best films ever, and I can't really disagree. There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said already.
- DirectorSpike JonzeStarsNicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperA lovelorn screenwriter becomes desperate as he tries and fails to adapt 'The Orchid Thief' by Susan Orlean for the screen.
