This week, we watch the film that dethroned Citizen Kane as the best movie of all time, according to Sight and Sound. Does it deserve that position, or were the critics correct in their middling reviews upon its first release in the 50’s? Vertigo (1958), directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
This week, we go on another tangent to watch Terry Gilliam’s underrated visual masterpiece. Not since Dr. Strangelove has a comedy been so dark. This movie may be a bit too out there to land a spot on the top 250, but if you’re a fan of bizarre fantasies, it may end up being a personal favorite. Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam.
This week, we watch twist after twist in Billy Wilder’s classic court room drama. Charles Laughton steals the show as the unhealthy trial lawyer, as he smokes and drinks his way to another win. Witness for the Prosecution (1957), directed by Billy Wilder.
This week, we watch what many consider to be the best Anime of all time. Masterfully animated and ultra-violent, this film remains unmatched in its detail, style and scope. The influence on other animated films as well as live action films of this genre cannot be understated. Akira (1988), directed by Katsuhiro Otomo.

This week, we watch one of the oldest movies on the list. This movie stands out from the early ‘talkies’ for its incredible dark subject matter and very naturalistic acting. Peter Lorre does something here that none of us have seen before, and its amazing that he did it nearly 100 years ago. M (1931), directed by Fritz Lang.
This week, we watch a feel good animated movie, because why not? This movie is not on the top 250 (it should be), but we need a break from the string of downer movies on the list, and taking a trip to the world Disney and its animators have created is something everyone should take time and enjoy. Moana (2016), directed by Ron Clements and John Musker.
This week, we watch Tarantino’s first film. Cool music, cool suits, over the top violence, and non-linear story telling - this movie created a genre with a tiny budget, defined a decade of film and inspired independent artists across the world to this day. Reservoir Dogs (1992), directed by Quentin Tarantino.
This week, we continue talking about Braveheart, and dive into the commentary track with Mel Gibson himself. Is it worth listening to? Only if you’d like to imagine what Mel looks like while he quietly watches himself in a kilt. Braveheart (1995), directed by Mel Gibson.
This week, we watch Mel Gibson’s first foray into period-piece gore. He wins best picture / director as he massacres history alongside fictional Scotsmen. Is the story true? Who cares! Lets watch some horses eat ****!! Braveheart (1995), directed by Mel Gibson.
