#The hit list film movie
(And if you’re more of a TV person, check out the 50 best TV shows on Netflix.) Apocalypse Nowįrancis Ford Coppola went into the jungles, nearly lost his mind, and came back with a war movie masterpiece, one of the most quoted and cited combat films ever made. The journey to find Colonel Kurtz plays out like a fever dream, a trip into the violent soul of man. Oliver Stone directed a truly insane look behind the scenes of the NFL that may be a bit dated two decades later but still has the brute force of what one would expect when the director of Natural Born Killers directs a personality like Al Pacino.īlending Conrad’s Heart of Darkness with the recent wounds of the Vietnam War, Coppola barely survived production to deliver a movie that deserves to be mentioned with the best Vietnam flicks of all time. The Oscar winner stars alongside an amazing ensemble that features Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, James Woods, Charlton Heston, and so many more, including real NFL legends Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor. Richard Linklater wrote and directed a lovely little slice of nostalgia, conveyed in the rotoscoped animated style that made the filmmaker’s Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly so unique. This time, Linklater has made a film for the whole family, as Jack Black narrates a coming-of-age story that takes place just before the Apollo 11 landing. One of the most unexpected Best Picture winners, Argo is the story of Tony Mendez, a CIA operative who staged a fake film production to rescue hostages from Tehran. Ben Affleck directed and stars as Mendez in a tense, old-fashioned thriller that became a bit of a punchline when people didn’t think it deserved its Oscar (which often happens) but seems overdue for a reappraisal. It’s an effective, taut piece of filmmaking. Mati Diop’s directorial debut is a tender, mesmerizing study of life on the coast of Senegal, where men often venture out for more prosperous shores, leaving the women behind. It’s a delicate, beautiful film that plays like a romance, ghost story, and study of inequality all at the same time.
See it before someone recommends it to you.
#The hit list film series
Joel and Ethan Coen’s Western anthology series was a part of Netflix’s brand-redefining 2018.
Sure, Netflix still has a bunch of junk, but it also landed the latest from Alfonso Cuaron, the Coens, and even Orson Welles. This brilliant Western works as comedy, drama, and even a commentary on the Coens themselves. Sofia Coppola wrote and directed this adaptation of the 1966 novel by Thomas P.
