Boogie Nights was only Paul Thomas Anderson’s second film, but the story of an up-and-coming star in the waning days of the porn industry on film is exceedingly confident especially for a director in his 20s. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the stacked cast that might be the best ensemble ever assembled, the origin of the most hilarious subgenre (the “horny boy movie") and why this movie about sex is not about sex at all.

Jaws was legitimate phenomenon in the 70s, launching both the career of Steven Spielberg and the concept of the summer blockbuster to the forefront of the Hollywood system. For this story about an island being terrorized by a rogue Great White, Clint, Cal and Alex talk about Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw as maybe the best ever top 3 in a cast, how to dress like a proper island Mayor and why Bruce the shark not working correctly might just be the most fortuitous mistake in cinema history.

#Movies #Film #CivilWarLa Haine Is Tough Guy Posturing At Its Finest | CineFix Top 100CineFix - IGN Movies and TV2024-04-07 | “So far, so good. So far, so good…”
On one hand, La Haine is a grab bag of every filmmaking trick that was cool in the 90s. On the other hand, it’s a scathing look at systemic violence that’s as relevant as ever even 30 year later. The story of three guys outside of Paris grappling with the aftermath of a riot in which police officers put one of their friends in a coma, La Haine is a tough but essential watch. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how great the black and white looks, the early days of drone photography and how the film never lets you forget that these guys are just kids trying to get through their day.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm has jumped off a building and, as he passes each floor on the way down, says “so far, so good…”

Hot Fuzz, the second chapter in Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s ‘Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy,’ takes the piss out of buddy cop movies in the most loving way possible. The story of a cop who’s too good for his own good transferring to a small town in the country and uncovering a gruesomely violent plot, lampoons its action influences while being a pristine example of the genre in its own right. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about editing paperwork like a fight scene, the comedy chops of Olivia Colman and audio commentary tracks with film references too numerous to keep up with.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is on the loose and was spotted by the model village.

Hayao Miyazaki dropped one of his several masterpieces in 1997 with Princess Mononoke. Depicting the battle between Iron Town and ancient Gods of the forest, the film is a gorgeously animated adventure that paints it’s themes vividly front and center. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about where it fits in Miyazaki’s body of work, how James Cameron being a fan makes them feel about the movie, samurai swords in the mail and whether or not Prince Ashitaka has enough rizz to carry the movie. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm plots to kill a god, by getting somebody else to do its dirty work.

From director Hal Ashby, Being There is wildly intelligent movie about an incredibly unintelligent man. Peter Sellers stars with Shirley MacLaine in a story about a simple-minded gardener and the power brokers who seem to think he’s a genius. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the power of projecting only what we want to see, how films can become eternally relevant and who has the bigger fan base, the Chicago Bears or the film While You Were Sleeping.

Joe Dante’s first collaboration with Tom Hanks started as a send-up of Rear Window before it morphed into a genre-bending, dark comedy in The ‘Burbs. Coming after Joe Dante’s Academy Award winning Innerspace and Tom Hank’s first Best Actor nomination for Big, The ‘Burbs is something of an 80s curio. Clint, Cal and Alex dive into the universality of neighborhood paranoia and how it manifests in a dream sequence, textbook blocking for exposition scenes, and visual jokes that work on multiple levels. Who among us hasn’t looked at our neighbors and assumed the worst? Your neighbor might even be Dan, and you’d never know…

#CinefixTop 10 International Feature Oscar Winners of All TimeCineFix - IGN Movies and TV2024-03-08 | It’s important to remember that the Oscars are both an American AND a global phenomenon. For almost 100 years the Academy has made space to award a Foreign-Language film, so, of course, that means we here at CineFix are overdue to do the same. So here, in an order that’s even more meaningless than usual because we’re doing it chronologically, are our picks for the 10 Best International Feature Film Winners in the history of the Academy Awards.
While the award wasn’t regularly presented until 1957, non-American and non-English films got plenty of recognition prior to that, going all the way back to the very first Oscar ceremony. From Italy, Czechoslovakia, Japan, The Soviet Union (at the time) and even the Ivory Coast, Foreign-Language Film award winners are as varied as the cultures from which they arrive at Oscars.
The Picks:
10 - Italy - Ladri di biciclette / Bicycle Thieves (1949) dir. Vittorio De Sica 9 - France - Orfeu Negro / Black Orpheus (1959) dir. Marcel Camus 8 - Czechoslovakia - Ostře sledované vlaky / Closely Watched Trains (1966) dir. Jiří Menzel 7 - Soviet Union - Dersu Uzala (1975) dir. Akira Kurosawa 6 - Ivory Coast - La Victoire en chantant / Black and White in Color (1976) dir. Jean-Jacques Annaud 5 - Denmark - Babettes Gæstebud / Babette's Feast (1987) dir. Gabriel Axel 4 - The Netherlands - Antonia / Antonia’s Line (1995) dir. Marleen Gorris 3 - Bosnia & Herzegovina - Ničija zemlja / No Man’s Land (2001) dir. Danis Tanović 2 - Iran - Forushandeh / The Salesman (2016) dir. Asghar Farhadi 1 - Japan - Drive My Car (2021) dir. Hamaguchi Ryusuke

Made and released between other Grace Kelly classics Dial M for Murder, and To Catch a Thief, Rear Window’s strength lies in Hitchcock’s ability to make us willing accomplices in Jimmy Stewart’s spying on his neighbors by leaning so hard on his POV and ratcheting up the tension of being stuck in one place. Clint, Cal and Alex dive into how such a simple set up becomes so complicated to shoot, the technical precision it takes to shoot everything from one vantage point on a giant set, and why Jeff absolutely sucks without ruining the movie. Will it end up being the highest Hitchcock film on the list?

Our community season continues with one of the funniest movies of all time and our first newly minted Top 100, Monty Python and The Holy Grail. A gleeful skewering of the filmmaking process by first time filmmakers, The Holy Grail crams in a musical number, an animated god, and a record scratch of an ending that breaks the fourth wall in the same way Blazing Saddles did. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss the movie being impossible to turn off, its place as a foundational post-modernist comedy, and how budget constraints changed the ending and invented the term “cop-out”. Who made the mistake of not including this brilliant comedy on their list?
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is still trying to determine how to count to three before throwing the holy hand-grenade into the list.

Season 2 continues with a bit of a milestone Disney film as both the first movie to be developed after Walt’s death and the first to be released on VHS, Disney’s Robin Hood. How much has nostalgia played into its placement on the list? Clint, Cal, and Alex are here to break it all down, digging into the incredible pedigree behind the film, including Don Bluth who went on to create such classics as An American Tale and The Land Before Time, and one of Disney’s “Nine Old Men”, Director Wolfgang Reitherman, whose previous credits include such heavy hitters as Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty and more. Does this film stack up to all those other classics? Did it start the furry movement? More importantly, does it belong on the list?

#DisneyHas Star Wars Relentless Retconning Hurt Its Legacy? | CineFix Top 100CineFix - IGN Movies and TV2024-02-11 | "That's no moon..."
We head to a galaxy far far away to discuss a little space opera that changed the way we make movies, talk about movies, and build franchises out of those movies. George Lucas’ Star Wars stormed onto the scene in 1977 and was relentlessly retconned as they moved to franchise the biggest original IP of all time. Star Wars is inescapable now, but Clint, Cal and Alex try to dissect the movie it was while also keeping in mind all the tinkering, changes, sequels and spinoffs that have followed. How do you talk about a movie that has been discussed, analyzed, and iterated on for nearly fifty years? As a film that has bled into every part of our subconscious, right down to the sound design, is it possible that this doesn’t crack the top 10?

As it turns out, a little ski town just outside of Salt Lake City provides exactly that every January. We went to the Sundance Film Festival again this year, and in one of the murkiest times in recent show business memory, we talked to several of the festival's filmmakers and a senior programmer about why film festivals are still a key part of the ecosystem, and how they might be even more important moving forward.

Our community season continues with the movie that added infamous and plethora to our vocabulary, the Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short classic, Three Amigos. Directed by John Landis, whose filmography up to this point is littered with hits, Amigos succeeds by continually making its leads the butt of the joke. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss the difficulty of analyzing comedies, whether or not Three Amigos qualifies as a spoof or an homage, how the film’s comedy is completely character based and how hard it is to be grounded after being so absurd. For the first time, in this community season, we also discuss whether or not Three Amigos belongs on the list and if it should be struck.

Clint, Cal and Alex break down its place in film history as a foundational text on action cinema, the nuts and bolts brilliance of staging and shooting the moving and panning shots that keep everything in focus, and the physical and mental toll the film took on those both in front of, and behind the camera.

Film festivals inherently provide a little bit of everything. They’re a collection of different genres, budget scale, unique perspectives and experience. From the stalwart category of low budget horror film auteurs like Hereditary, Get Out and the more recent Talk To Me, to the sneaky creative science fiction of Another Earth or Swiss Army Man from The Daniels, there’s something for everybody at Sundance. But excellent programming aside, what is Sundance for? Debuts from Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smith have launched whole indie film movements, while big splashes from Christopher Nolan and Stephen Soderbergh have provided the basis for incredible careers. In short, Sundance is an integral part of the movies we all know and love whether the world at large is aware of it or not.

The Hard (But Not Impossible) Fight For An Academy AwardCineFix - IGN Movies and TV2024-01-20 | Since Tom Cruise, Hollywood’s poster boy for risking your life on screen, first dangled from the Burj Khalifa in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the franchise’s entire marketing blitz has been built around his next big stunt. Whole franchises, like John Wick, have sprung up around the idea of escalating action cinema with practical stunt work and ever-more-ridiculous fight choreography. Directors like Chad Stahelski and Sam Hargrave are fostering some incredible stunt work and forcing an issue with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences… Why isn’t there an Oscar for Stunts?
We spent the better part of 2023 asking everybody we could about that question, from Mission: Impossible to Indiana Jones, Fast and Furious to Extraction. Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Keanu Reeves, Chris Hemsworth, Hayley Atwell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Scott Eastwood, Louis Leterrier, Christopher McQuarrie and more all weighed in, while we dug in to the Academy Bylaws to see how tough a job the stunt community has ahead of itself to get their own category on Oscar Night!

#Movies #Film #CineFixThe Top 10 Movies of 2023 | A CineFix Movie ListCineFix - IGN Movies and TV2023-12-31 | Happy New Year! 2023 is in the books and we’re sneaking our best of the year thoughts just under the wire! It was a wild year for the movie business and who knows how much we’ll actually get next year because of it. In the meantime though, there was plenty to celebrate about 2023 in cinemas. From kaiju action epics on a budget, to both halves of Barbenheimer, indies that aren’t really indies and directorial debuts that blew us away, here are our picks for the 10 best movies of 2023.
While action franchises like Mission: Impossible and John Wick delivered exponentially more of what they’re known for, others went back to their roots. Horror films gave us more Evil Dead and a terrifying movie dressed up as a comedy from Ari Aster. Both Barbie and Oppenheimer surged in the box office but they might not have even been the best movie that came out that day. Meanwhile we got more Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Ridley Scott and Hayao Miyazaki which is never a bad thing! All that to say, 2023 was pretty great!
The Picks:
10 - Action Blockbuster - Godzilla Minus One - dir. Takashi Yamazaki 9 - Documentary - Beyond Utopia - dir. Madeleine Gavin 8 - Animation - The Boy and The Heron - dir. Hayao Miyazaki 7 - Horror - Talk to Me - dir. Michael and Danny Philippou 6 - Thriller - Killers of the Flower Moon - dir. Martin Scorsese 5 - Sci Fi Fantasy - They Cloned Tyrone - dir. Juel Taylor 4 - Comedy - Poor Things - dir. Yorgos Lanthimos 3 - Indie Drama - Asteroid City - dir. Wes Anderson 2 - Foreign - The Taste of Things - dir. Tranh Anh Hung 1 - Prestige Drama - The Zone of Interest - dir. Jonathan Glazer

In today’s CineFix Not 100, Alex and Calabro are talking about Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 follow-up to Pulp Fiction. In the 25+ years since Tarantino adapted the Elmore Leonard novel, Rum Punch, Jackie Brown has managed to age like Pam Grier herself, which is to say, incredibly. Cal and Alex wax on about how this is Quentin’s most traditional film (but not in a bad way), how Alex’s cool flight attendant grandma introduced her to this film, and how Pam Grier, Robert De Nero, Samuel L Jackson, and Robert Forrester turned in some truly excellent performances.
Here we go. Dan’s Algorithm. When you absolutely, positively need to watch 100 movies, in no particular order, accept no substitutes.

Welcome to another NOT Top 100 in between seasons! This week, Clint’s not around so Cal and Alex are digging into one of their favorites that didn’t quite make the cut. This week they explore In Bruges and discuss its status as a Bro-core movie, its choice to focus on the words of its playwright script instead of the visuals of the romantic city it's shot in, and just how many f-words are said in its 107 minute runtime.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is hiding somewhere in the Koningin Astridpark alcoves… just waiting.

#Movies #Alien #GladiatorRaiders of the Lost Ark Was Spielberg Shooting From The Hip | CineFix Top 100CineFix - IGN Movies and TV2023-11-06 | “It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”
Raiders of the Lost Ark is an unimpeachably great movie that gave us the second iconic Harrison Ford role of the era with Indiana Jones. It’s hard to imagine a world without our most famous archeologist, or to understate the franchise’s influence on the adventure genre, but at the time there was a weird amount of pressure to succeed. Steven Spielberg was coming off a string of movies that had gone over budget, the most recent of which was an outright flop. Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the budget-minded approach Spielberg, George Lucas and crew took to the production, the incredible accidents responsible for some of the coolest imagery in the film and just how many people were violently ill during production. So buckle up, this is almost 2 hours worth of Raiders talk to find out where it ranks on the CineFix Top 100!
Meanwhile, somebody took the lid off of producer Dan’s algorithm so keep your eyes shut. No matter what happens, don’t look at it. JUST KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT, MARION!

Narration is a tricky thing to do well, and we can’t get Morgan Freeman to lay down voice over tracks on EVERY movie. But when it does work, narration can really elevate a film in a number of ways. How many ways you ask? We think there’s at least ten… So here are our 10 favorite uses of narration on film of all time.
That’s a weirdly difficult phrase to turn into a headline, btw…
There is of course the nostalgic retrospective voice over you get from Stand By Me or A Christmas Story, and the fourth wall breaking, direct address of Deadpool and High Fidelity. Films like Wim Wenders fantastic Wings of Desire or Alphaville offer us inner access to characters we might not understand another way, while Paul Thomas Anderson and no relation Wes Anderson have a knack for pulling off a disconnected omniscient narrator. If you’ve got 20-something minutes to spare, we’ll cover all of these and like 100 other examples of what Clint likes to call “the good stuff.”
The Picks: 10 - Retrospective - The Virgin Suicides (1999) dir. Sofia Coppola 9 - Realtime - Fight Club (1999) dir. David Fincher 8 - Inner Access - La Noire de… (1966) dir. Ousmane Sembene 7 - Omniscient - The Big Lebowski (1998) dir. Joel and Ethan Coen 6 - Group - 20th Century Women (2016) dir. Mike Mills 5 - Unreliable - Last Year at Marienbad (1961) dir.

The Exorcist had audiences' heads spinning in 1973 and hasn’t really stopped since. William Friedkin had just won an Oscar for The French Connection and William Peter Blatty’s novel was a best seller, but the filmmakers still had a long way to go to make a classic. Clint, Alex and Cal are chock full of pea soup and ready to dive into the incredible makeup effects, the behind the scenes wizardry of the grip department and how the director’s cut of the film was actually kind of the writer’s cut.

Written by William Peter Blatty, adapted from his own novel, and directed by William Friedkin, the film about a young girl possessed by a demon had audiences swooning and tossing up their pea soup. But the story of The Exorcist’s journey to the screen is one of a push and pull between Blatty and Friedkin. How happy could the ending have been? How subtle could the motives of the demon have been? And just how wildly different could the director’s cut be with only 11 additional minutes added? While we’re at it, the power of Christ compels us to also ask… What’s the Difference?

The year… vaguely near future. The setting… Old Detroit. The hero… a robotic cop resurrected by corporate greed fighting to regain some of his humanity. RoboCop, in a word, is awesome. The Paul Verhoeven masterpiece has everything you’d want from the 80s; goopy squibs, stop motion animated robots and a literal shootout in a cocaine factory. Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the incredible staying power this movie has thanks to its brilliant satire, why the extreme violence also has good comedic timing and why the campiness in Verhoeven’s career is not a bug, it’s a feature.
Meanwhile, Omni Consumer Products developed a version of producer Dan’s algorithm that can actually walk down stairs.

Carol Reed’s The Third Man is a gorgeously photographed bit of post-war film noir that gave us one of the greatest grins in the history of cinema. It also gave us a ton of zither! Clint, Cal and Alex dive into the classic detective yarn that’s not really about a detective at all. They discuss the dutch angles that kept Joseph Cotton on his heels for most of the film, just how bad a guy Orson Welles as Harry Lime really is and just how bad a guy Orson Welles was on set, as legends have it.

This episode of CineFix Top 100, Clint, Cal and Alex celebrate this harrowing film’s 10th Anniversary with its Academy Award winning Visual Effects Supervisor, Tim Webber. Tim walks us through all the little details and tries to describe how necessity really is the mother of invention when making a movie where only the faces are real. Buckle up.

David Cronenberg has made some incredible movies that are also incredibly gross. This episode of the CineFix Top 100 dives into one of his best, The Fly. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis star in the story of inventor Seth Brundle and his attempt to master teleportation only to end up becoming a fly for his trouble! Clint and Cal spend another week waiting for Alex to rejoin them, but in the meantime they dig in to the amazing work of professional face-melter Chris Walas, just how much Mel Brooks campaigned for the movie and lament the unfortunate missed opportunity to “collude for Croney” to get more of the Canadian body horror maestro’s work on the Top 100.

The late 60s marked the beginning of a new era in Hollywood and Midnight Cowboy was right in the middle of it. The 1969 film from John Schesinger follows a swaggering small town Texas stud trying to make it as a hustler in Manhattan and the unlikely relationship he discovers with a con-man. Jon Voigt and Dustin Hoffman turn in amazing performances, but the most incredible thing about the film is how perfectly and inextricably it fits into its place and time. With Alex a bit under the weather, Clint and Cal break down the Oscar nominated editing, relentless gum-chewing and the concept of the horny grandma that’s peppered throughout this Best Picture winner. Meanwhile, producer Dan’s algorithm has escaped the city and is on a bus somewhere between here and Florida…

In 1993, the late great Harold Ramis teamed with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell to do the same thing over and over and over again. In the 30 years since, Groundhog Day has become a genre all unto itself. Blending elements of time travel, magical realism, spirituality and good old fashioned romantic comedy, it doesn’t feel right to call it a cult classic but that’s not far off from describing the legacy of the film. Clint, Cal and Alex, dive into the expert craftsmanship of repetitive comedy, just how many days Phil repeated, and just how long you can watch a human being be despicable before a comeupance comes.

In 2002, City of God came charging out of a Brazillian favela to take over seemingly every critic’s top ten list. The decades-spanning crime drama from Fernando Meirelles and co-director Kátia Lund is a fast paced epic fueled by violence. It’s a great film led by an unlikely cast of non-actors recruited from the actual favela and Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the most stressful movie list, the strange Academy Awards directorial oversight and Cal’s favorite kind of movie (Scorsese clones) on their way to discovering where the film ranks on the CineFix Top 100.

It’s also wild to see just how different the colorful Saturday morning adaptation of the Turtles was from their black and white, Daredevil inspired comic book origins. So let’s figure out if we’re party dudes or if we do machines and how loud we’re willing to yell Cowabunga because it’s time to ask What’s the Difference, dude!
Before the TMNT boys got super into pizza, they were a gritty pastiche of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird favorites like Daredevil, Frank Miller and some Mutant tales from Marvel. The 1990 film adaptation was the team’s first big screen adventure and has proven to be far from their last with Mutant Mayhem being the 8th feature length version. Here’s hoping we’re in for a few more decades of Pizza Wagon toys!
