This week’s editor’s pick
Roadhouse
Year: 1989
Running time: 1h 54m
Director: Rowdy Herrington
As production continues on the remake of this cult classic (with Jake Gyllenhaal!), why not go back and revisit the original? Patrick Swayze plays a perfectly average Missouri bar bouncer who ends up sucked into a violent world when he crosses paths with the wrong bad guy. Sam Elliott and Kelly Lynch star in a film that feels like the perfect embodiment of many of Mr. Swayze’s characters.
The Drama
8 miles
Year: 2002
Running time: 1h 50m
Director: Curtis Hanson
Eminem stars in this semi-autobiographical story as a white rapper named B-Rabbit who rises through Detroit’s battle rap scene to rule the world. The title refers to the road in the Motor City that divides it from the suburbs. Most people remember this flick for the Oscar-winning “Lose Yourself,” but it’s more than just that killer track.
No one gave Sunday
Year: 1999
Running time: 2h 30m
Director: Oliver Stone
The Oscar-winning director of Platoon and Natural Born Killers turns his camera on the dangerous world of professional football in this crazy ensemble piece with the best cast of the ’90s. Some of the problems that come with it are set a little over two decades later, but it’s nice to see this crazy group of people buy into Stone’s larger-than-life approach, including Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jamie included. Fox, James Woods, and many others.
Bridges of Madison County
Year: 1995
Running time: 2h 14m
Director: Clint Eastwood
One of Clint Eastwood’s best films is also his most beautiful, about the unlikely romance between a married woman (Meryl Streep) and a traveling photographer (played by the director himself). in one of his weakest performances). It’s a moving romance with plenty of older characters who don’t usually get this kind of drama, and the two legendary stars give some of the best performances of their remarkable careers.
Call me by your name
Year: 2017
Running time: 2h 12m
Director: Luca Guadagnino
One of the best films of the 2010s, this drama stars. Timothée Chalamet as a boy who discovers his sexuality when he is played by an older man, Armie Hammer. Tender and moving, this is a remarkable drama because of how true it feels. Anchored by excellent performances, not only from the two leads but also the brilliant Michael Stuhlbarg.
