The Card Counter (2021)
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
George Miller’s Mad Max movies each have their distinct gonzo style, but Beyond Thunderdome stands out as the strangest of the bunch. This film marks the conclusion of the original trilogy, following Max as he ventures to Bartertown—a place where conflicts are settled through deadly battles.
Although Beyond Thunderdome falls short in comparison to the best of the Mad Max franchise, it still presents a plethora of fascinating concepts that are well worth exploring. Miller’s boundless imagination is always a captivating experience, especially within the realm of Mad Max.
Dunkirk (2017)
Christopher Nolan’s fascination with World War II shines through in Dunkirk, a film where he directly tackles the subject. The movie recounts the evacuation of Dunkirk from various perspectives, deftly manipulating time as Nolan often does.
By chronicling the stories of stranded soldiers, a heroic airman, and brave British citizens volunteering to bring their compatriots home, Nolan created one of his most emotionally charged and exhilarating films to date. With its masterful practical effects, captivating score, and outstanding performances, Dunkirk stands among the director’s finest cinematic accomplishments.
Airplane! (1980)
3:10 to Yuma (2007)
A remake of the classic Western with the same title, “3:10 to Yuma” narrates the tale of a humble rancher who embarks on a perilous journey to escort a wanted man, partly driven by the desire to prove his worth to his son. As their relationship evolves during the treacherous expedition and they find themselves pursued by their adversary’s henchmen, we gain insight into the intricate moral fabric that once defined the Old West.
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale deliver outstanding performances, breathing life into the central characters, while James Mangold’s direction skillfully retells this timeless story. Westerns experienced a resurgence in the mid-2000s, and “3:10 to Yuma” indisputably ranks among the pinnacle of the genre, warranting a viewing.
