The fourth film in our Risqué Romance cycle is Lana and Lily Wachowski's debut film, Bound (1996).

1+ y ago59:51

59:51

The third film in our Risqué Romance cycle is the small yet delightful, Valley Girl (1983). Valley Girl, the paradigm of an indie film, transcended its own means of production to become an oddly dismissed 80s mall romcom.

The first film in our Risqué Romance cycle is Stanley Kubrick's infamous Lolita (1962). We start out this new season by tiptoeing through the minefield that is Lolita, a notorious film adaptation of the even more notorious novel by Vladimir Nabokov.

A New Cycle Begins! The first film in our Absurdist Action cycle is the rock 'em sock 'em 2022 release, Bullet Train. The action comedy is a delicate balance.

The sixth and last film in our Existential Thriller cycle is Alfred Hitchcock's farewell to London, the macabre and dissociated Frenzy.

The fifth film in our Existential Thriller cycle is William Friedkin's grim and precise Sorcerer (1977). Released in the shadow of Star Wars and Friedkin's own masterpiece, The Exorcist, this bizarre down-and-out adventure film was a total financial failure. Critics didn't much like it either. But time has a funny way of shuffling the deck, and Sor…

The fourth film in our Existential Thriller cycle is Neil Jordan's infamous 1992 political enigma, The Crying Game (1992).

2y ago1:02:20

1:02:20

The second film in our new Existential Thrillers cycle is Tony Gilroy's aughtie classic, Michael Clayton (2007). On paper, Michael Clayton probably seems like a taut legal thriller played to the middle-aged set, a John Grisham movie with the latest A-Listers. Tony Gilroy chose a much different path by crafting a cerebral thriller infused with corpo…

At the height of Jim Carrey's fame in the mid 1990s, this bizarre pitch-black comedy was released as a summer blockbuster.
