Man on Wire
There must be hundred of films about bank robberies. I have never seen anything like the Man on Wire.
The Great Dictator
It would be interesting to learn about the reaction of moviegoers who saw the The Great Dictator when the film was first released in 1940. It was still five years before the Great Dictator, Hitler, took his own life
Searching for Sugar Man
I learned about this documentary in the wake of a sad event: Its maker, Malik Bendjelloul, committed suicide two days ago. The film won the Oscar for best documentary in 2012.
Captain Phillips
If you are curious how Somali Pirates can simply take over big container ships and demand ransom from the owners, Captain Phillips shows you how to do it: with machine guns and a lot of daring.
The Grand Hotel Budapest
Wes Anderson fans will not be disappointed by his new film. While The Grand Budapest Hotel is emotionally not as deep as Moonrise Kingdom, the film has a stronger plot, making it easier to watch.
