Back from the Dead (1957)
Bona (1980)
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Bona” is a great film that has truly stood the passing of time, highlighting the fact that Filipino cinema of the era was truly Golden.
Hollywood 90028 (1973)
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: While many have praised the film as some kind of lost masterpiece, in reality it’s more of an exploitation film with lots of montage and few synced sound scenes…mainly of interest for its depiction of an L.A. which no longer exists
Mad Max (1979)
- Excerpt: Mad Max is only barely coherent as a story and thrown together on a micro-budget, but George Miller brings to it a panache and frenzied energy that is deeply inviting.
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Manthan (1976)
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Manthan” (or “The Churning” as it is also known) is a truly great film, which manages to combine documentary-level realism, impactful drama, and a truly multileveled narrative that remains entertaining from beginning to end.
Peeping Tom (1960)
- Excerpt: Restored to the Criterion Collection, Michael Powell’s answer may disturb you.
Ready or Not (2019)
- Excerpt: Ready or Not is a damn fun movie in a bunch of different, slightly contradictory ways.
