      <image:caption>James Marshall (Harrison Ford) - Air Force One (dir. Wolfgang Peterson) 1997 Bio and Notable Achievements: Medal of Honor winner. Family man. Michigan alumnus. Takes a hard line on terrorism through bold policy, which upsets his advisors. Also takes a hard line on terrorism by fighting with, strangling, and shooting the terrorists who have taken over Air Force One and are holding his family hostage, which upsets the terrorists. Doesn’t get in the escape pod (unlike John Harker), but still manages to avoid the CGI disaster that is the crashing of Air Force One into the ocean.  Popularity Rating: Sky High, though that cosy relationship with Russia won’t be popular with all. Chance of a Second Term: Locked On Notes: Ford will play the President for a second time in Captain America: Brave New World, but missed an earlier chance to do so as Jack Ryan when the franchise was rebooted again after Clear and Present Danger, rather than following the character arc of the Tom Clancy novels.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John Harker (Donald Pleasance) - Escape from New York(dir. John Carpenter) 1981 Bio and Notable Achievements: While on his way to a peace summit, also finds the presidential plane hijacked. Unlike James Marshall, actually gets into the Air Force One escape pod, which lands in a reimagined Manhattan that has been converted into a giant maximum security prison, in a 1997 far different from the one portrayed in Air Force One. In possession of key information, including a cassette tape containing the secrets of nuclear fusion, to be used as a peace offering at the summit. Introduces the movie world to the badass that is Snake Plissken. Gets people killed but, also like Marshall, shoots a bad guy. Not a fan of Big Band music,  Popularity Rating: Important enough to risk a suicide mission into Manhattan.  Chance of a Second Term: In jeopardy, if the Chinese and Soviets don’t like Les Elgart’s ‘Bandstand Boogie’.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Edward Bennett (Donald Moffatt) - Clear and Present Danger(dir. Philip Noyce) 1994 Bio and Notable Achievements: Easily confused with President J. Robert Fowler. Lifelong friends with disgraced businessman Peter Hardin, recently murdered, who was found to be laundering drug money for the Colombian cartels. Discreetly approved off-the-books clandestine US military operations against the cartels in Colombia. Attempted cover-up due to unwelcome attention as a result of collateral damage following a smart bomb attack. Called before Congress.      Popularity Rating: That hard line on drugs will gain approval in some quarters, but no-one likes a potential Presidential scandal or two, least of all the party.    Chance of a Second Term: Low. That’s what happens when you take on a boy scout like Jack Ryan/Harrison Ford</image:caption>

      <image:caption>J. Robert Fowler (James Cromwell) - The Sum of All Fears(dir. Phil Alden Robinson) 2002 Bio and Notable Achievements: Former Australian sheep farmer with doubts over his eligibility for Presidential Office. American Football fan like James Marshall. Easily confused with President Edward Bennett. Tendency to forget about dinner plans. Target of attempted nuclear assassination who gets pissed about it and risks taking the world to the brink of nuclear armageddon. Also gets angry with Jack Ryan, who seems to have gotten younger. Popularity Rating: The booing from the crowd at the football game in Baltimore suggests a lack of popularity in some quarters, as does their brief puzzlement rather than concern over his emergency evacuation by the Secret Service.  Chance of a Second Term: Likely to be boosted by the attempted assassination if he can avoid nuking anyone before polling day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers) - Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (dir. Stanley Kubrick) 1964 Bio and Notable Achievements: Master of disguise. Faced with the nightmare scenario of rogue Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper launching ‘Wing Attack Plan R’ using B-52s from the 843rd Bomb Wing to strike the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons. Attempts to work with the Soviets to stop the bombers reaching their targets despite the resistance of senior military planners. Extremely patient when talking to his drunk counterpart in Moscow. Capable of being just as sorry as the Soviet Premier. Insists that you can’t fight in The War Room.  Popularity Rating: Very unpopular with General Buck Turgidson for refusing to take advantage of the situation by launching an all out attack, which he insists will result in no more than 10-20 million US citizens killed - tops - depending on the breaks.  Chance of a Second Term: Zero. Zilch. Nada.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Hocus Potus - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The President (Henry Fonda) - Fail Safe(dir. Sidney Lumet) 1964 Bio and Notable Achievements: Married. Not a master of disguise. Faced with a slightly different nightmare scenario to that of Merkin Muffley, when computer systems failure causes Vindicator bombers from Bomber Group 6 to pass their ‘Fail Safe’ point and move towards striking targets in the Soviet Union, including Moscow itself. Attempts to work with the Soviets to stop the bombers reaching their targets despite the resistance of senior military planners. Has a much better relationship with someone called Buck. Required to show the Wisdom of Solomon in providing a solution to avert total nuclear war if even one of the bombers gets through.   Popularity Rating: May have lost the confidence of the Air Force, but has the backing of Defense Secretary Swenson. Very briefly unpopular amongst New Yorkers..    Chance of a Second Term: Impossible to say whether he’d even want one after the day he’s been through. Needs to write the speech of a lifetime for Americans to even consider voting for him again.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>James Dale (Jack Nicholson) - Mars Attacks! (dir. Tim Burton) 1996 Bio and Notable Achievements: Husband to Marsha, father to Taffy [Taffy? Really?]. Looks weirdly similar to Art Land, the flamboyant owner of the Galaxy Casino in Nevada. Can handle the truth of Martian visitors and wants to treat them as foreign dignitaries, though the increasing belligerence of the intergalactic guests suggests this may be unwise. Begins to recognise challenges of diplomacy, but wonders why we can’t forget our differences, why we can’t work things out, and why we can’t all just get along. Capable of moving an audience to tears. Popularity Rating: High on Earth, less so on Mars.  Chance of a Second Term: Even if someone can find a way to defeat the pesky Martians, there’s the small matter of staying alive to deal with first.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Janie Orleon (Meryl Streep) - Don’t Look Up(dir. Adam McKay) 2021 Bio and Notable Achievements: Like Tom Beck, bearer of seriously bad news about a comet if, and only if, it’s politically expedient to reveal the truth and/or to cover up a sex scandal with a Supreme Court nominee. Otherwise it’s a case of sitting tight and assessing, and rounding percentages down. Appointed her son Jason to the position of White House Chief of Staff and an anaesthesiologist to the position of Director of NASA. Potentially problematic financial relationship with mercurial tech billionaire Sir Mark Isherwood, a key campaign donor.  Popularity Rating: Complete country-wide split between her ‘Don’t Look Up’ policy fans and ‘Just Look Up’ advocates. Much depends on whether Comet Dibiasky brings jobs or the end of life as we know it. Chance of a Second Term: If the math checks out, she’s not going to be around for the election. Nor is anyone else.  Notes: Only President on this list confirmed to have a tattoo.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) - The American President(dir. Rob Reiner) 1995 Bio and Notable Achievements: Widower. Father to Lucy. Falls in love with a spiky, passionate environmental lobbyist from Virginia. Doesn’t know the state flower of Virginia [apparently it’s the dogwood, which is both a tree and a flower], or how to dial an outside line. Sender of hams. Willing to send a watered-down Crime Bill to Congress to ensure reelection.    Popularity Rating: Hot and cold with environmental lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade, Lukewarm with liberal gun-control proponents. Positively icy with Republican Presidential hopeful Senator Bob Rumpson of Kansas. A move from being the sympathetic lonely widower to actively dating may hurt his numbers.  Chance of a Second Term: Overreach on a revised Crime Bill and sending a wide-ranging Environmental Bill through Congress at the same time is either bold politics or a horrible misstep.  Notes: Martin Sheen, who would go on to play the President in The West Wing [also written by Aaron Sorkin], is Shepherd’s Chief of Staff. Michael Douglas has actually slept with the First Lady in another movie, though not as POTUS. In The Sentinel(dir. Clark Johnson) 2006, he plays a member of the First Lady’s Secret Service detail and the two have a clandestine affair.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Adam Scott (Hal Holbrook) - The Kidnapping of the President (George Medeluk) 1980 Bio and Notable Achievements: Excellent bladder control for a man of his age. Helpfully carries snacks in case he gets handcuffed inside an armored car wired to explode at midnight by South American terrorists while visiting Toronto. Briefly pries off a plywood panel. Doesn’t listen to his security detail. Married to a First Lady who smiles radiantly while wearing a cream wool coat with silver fox collar.    Popularity Rating: Low with South American revolutionaries and Maury Chaykin. High with Canadians, who organise a candlelit vigil accompanied by the Salvation Army playing Abide With Me, Not popular with William Shatner for ignoring sensible security advice from his Secret Service detail.   Chance of a Second Term: If someone doesn’t hurry up with those bolt-cutters, we may not get a chance to find out.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #10: Leap of Faith (1992)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I believe in life—what it does to you, and what you do back.” Jonas Nightengale (Steve Martin) is an enigmatic preacher who runs a traveling tent revival. He delivers rousing and inspiring sermons, bolsters people’s faith and love in their Lord, and even heals the sick. There’s only one problem—it’s all a scam. When his traveling show breaks down in the struggling agricultural town of Rustwater, Kansas—a town plagued by bad harvests, massive unemployment, and home foreclosure, and whose crops are in dire need of rain—he decides to set up there instead of his original destination, the more lucrative Topeka. Jonas uses all his considerable gifts as a conman (with the assistance of his crew- Debra Winger, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Meat Loaf) to bleed the town of every last cent. Not really the makings of a feel-good story. But wait! When the town’s crippled orphan boy (Lukas Haas) suddenly regains the ability to walk, this real-life miracle causes a wrinkle and a crossroads. Jonas could exploit the circumstances and take the boy on the road, using him as a shill to really rake in the dough (err… I mean, donations). In the end, Jonas can’t bring himself to corrupt the innocent boy, and is instead changed by him, and he flees in the night, just as the sky opens up, drenching the grateful town with its much-needed rain (another miracle!).  The tensions between faith and cynicism, the entertaining backstage look of the swindle, the frequent, gorgeous gospel music, some great jokes, a well-placed Liam Neeson as the distrustful Sheriff, and (of course) the redemption arc of not one but two characters combine to make Leap of Faith one of my favorites for when I need a smile.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #9: Practical Magic (1998)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Being normal is not necessarily a virtue—it rather denotes a lack of courage!” Conventional Sally (Sandra Bullock) and her free-spirited sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) are a little different than most people. They’re orphans, they’re the town outcasts, and they’re witches, from a long line. After the family curse claims Sally’s beloved husband, she and her two daughters go to stay with her aunts (Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing) in the (literally) magical house where she grew up. Sally’s grief is interrupted by Gillian, who needs help to leave her controlling, abusive boyfriend. The pair accidentally kill the boyfriend while attempting to escape and, fearing the consequences, try to raise him from the dead. Instead, they end up with his spirit haunting them and a handsome, moral law enforcement officer (Aidan Quinn) investigating his disappearance.  It’s a film about sisterhood, love, grief, empowerment, and midnight margaritas; a metaphor for the way bad relationships can haunt us; and a warning that fear of getting hurt can stop us from truly living. It’s funny, adventurous, and uplifting, with just a hint of spookiness. And, let’s face it, everyone secretly wishes they could just point their fingers and give their bullies chicken pox.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #8: Free Guy (2021)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Don’t have a good day. Have a great day!” Guy (Ryan Reynolds) was just an average guy (hence the name).  Life was drab, boring, and repetitive. Every day he would put on a blue shirt and khakis, go to work at the bank, then have a couple of beers with his best friend. But Guy was supremely happy with this simple life, finding joy in the mundane (medium coffee, cream, two sugars!). With one exception—he always felt like he was missing something, that special someone to take a good day and make it into a great day. Then one day he finds her, and his life can never be the same. Oh, and did I mention Guy is actually a super advanced algorithm existing in the background of an ultra-violent massive multiplayer online game? And that the girl of his dreams (Jodie Comer) is a real-world person who also happens to be the one who wrote his programming? In Guy’s pursuit of “molotovgirl,” he’s finally brave enough to step out of his comfort zone. He learns to play the game, but does it his own way, with a Batman-esque mentality of righting wrongs and helping the little guy. And through a cascading series of events, he ends up saving the world (well… his world). Free Guy is sweet, heartwarming, incredibly funny, and massively entertaining. You can spend an entire viewing just watching the background and reading the labels in the Free City world—my personal favorite is a floating bottle of Aviation Gin labelled “subtle product placement.” The entire movie is essentially Ryan Reynolds in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Yet it manages to be relatable because we’ve all felt like background characters at some point, going along our daily routines while crazy events just happen around us. And maybe in the grand scheme of things we are background characters. But we are each the main character in our own story, and the things we do—big and small—can end up changing things in big ways.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #7: Game Night (2018)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I’ve always enjoyed the camaraderie of good friends competing in games of chance or skill.” Married couple Max and Annie (Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams) bonded over their competitive nature and their love of all kinds of games. Together they are a powerhouse team that is rarely beaten in their regular game nights with family and friends. But the one person Max has never been able to beat (in games, or in life) is his older brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler). So it’s no surprise that Brooks has to one-up him even on the structure of game night itself, staging a kidnapping mystery instead of a typical trivia or board game. In fact, all three couples are impressed by the elaborate nature of the abduction scene, with armed men breaking into the house and dragging Brooks away after an epic fight. So off they go, each team determined to be the victor. After some hilarity, they realize that Brooks is mixed up in shady dealings and that the kidnapping was real. There’s no grand message behind this one, nor a ton of emotion. There’s actually nothing really exceptional about the plot either—how many times have we seen a story where someone gets kidnapped and an unlikely cast of characters have to navigate a surprising criminal underworld to get them back? The beauty of Game Night is all in the execution: witty banter, silly one-liners, and perfect joke delivery. It’s a fun movie that is just constantly laugh-out-loud funny, with a great cast. Billy Magnussen as the handsome moron and Jesse Plemons as the straightman are particularly good. “3-for-1?

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #6: Brittany Runs A Marathon (2019)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“It’s starting to feel like everyone’s lives are going places, and mine’s sort of stuck.” One day you’re fresh into the adult world with ambitions, plans, and a bright outlook on life. Then the next thing you know, your career path has taken an indefinite detour, and you’ve fallen into an unhealthy lifestyle marked by too much partying. At least that’s how it is for Brittany (Jillian Bell). Resolving to be healthier without breaking the bank, she sets out for her first run. Then little by little, the mileage goes up, and the number on the bathroom scale goes down. More than the physical results though, she likes the feeling of taking control of her life by having a goal. So she decides to set a BIG goal—to run the New York City marathon. Change isn’t always without heartache, though. As she grows close to two new running friends (Micah Stock and Michaela Watkins), she drifts away from her unsupportive, insecure Instagram-influencer roommate (Alice Lee), who, besides having no interest, can’t join Brittany on runs because “if I do too much cardio, I get too skinny too fast.”  Running the marathon is a more complicated goal than it seems though, and it changes her life in surprising ways. Brittany ultimately has to confront her negative view of herself, her tendency to shut people out, and her lack of career direction, on top of nursing herself through an overuse injury that threatens to keep her sidelined on the day of the race. Brittany is kind of a hot mess, and I personally find that endlessly relatable. A story of someone striving for a goal is always inspiring, but this one is also hilarious.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #5: Spirited (2022)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“It’s an every day decision—two steps forward, one step back. But if you try to do what’s right, you’re on the right track.” Who says it needs to be Christmastime to watch a Christmas movie? Seriously. Point them out, and I’ll slap them. In my book, Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds dancing and singing about how “Good Afternoon” used to be a curse is a wonderful, anytime indulgence.  As a musical version of A Christmas Carol, Spirited contains all the usual moral messages of that tale: money doesn’t equal happiness, kindness and compassion are paramount, and we have the power to change people’s lives in bigger ways than we know. But by flipping the script and telling us the story from the perspective of the ghosts, particularly the Ghost of Christmas Past—a redeemed soul who is still obsessed with improving the world to atone for his misdeeds—it gives us a few others. Specifically, to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, to have faith in our own goodness, to always follow our personal moral compass, to realize that friends and family are the true measure of success, and to understand that change doesn’t have to come all at once. An adult reimagining of a classic tale (well… PG-13), with two comic powerhouses and a moving-yet-funny Octavia Spencer, filled with toe-tapping original music AND inspiring messages? Sign me up. Spirited affected me more than I expected, and the song “Do A Little Good” has become my motivating song and unofficial mantra for personal growth, reminding me that some days are going to be harder than others, and some days I may even fail… but that doesn’t make me a failure.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #4: This Is Where I Leave You (2014)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.” Things are going well for Judd Altman (Jason Bateman, again). That is, until he walks in on his wife in bed with his boss. And then, while avoiding dealing with that, he gets a call from his sister Wendy (Tina Fey) telling him that his ailing father has just passed away. That would be bad enough, but it turns out that his father’s dying wish was for his non-religious family to sit shiva for him. Information for the gentiles: sitting shiva is essentially a seven day ritual where the family remains together at home and mourns—think of a week-long funeral. And that’s exactly as off-putting to Judd and his grown siblings (Corey Stoll and Adam Driver, in addition to the aforementioned Tina Fey) as you would expect, since they have spouses, kids, jobs, busy lives, and/or enabling former-therapist girlfriends to tend to. Not surprisingly, being stuck in the same house where they grew up revives sibling rivalries and old issues like childhood friends and crushes.  It's not often that I’ve found a movie that both makes me laugh uproariously and sends tears streaming down my face, but This Is Where I Leave You did that. It’s a lovely meditation on the realities of grief, the frustrating but indispensable nature of family, and the way to move forward when things fall apart. And it contains a wealth of life lessons, such as to always open a window when you’re smoking pot during Temple, lest you set off the sprinkler system.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #3: A Good Year (2006)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This place just doesn’t suit my life.”  –  “No, Max. It is your life that doesn’t suit this place.” Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a high-powered London banker who is called to Provence when his Uncle Henry (Albert Finney) dies intestate, leaving his rustic chateau and vineyard to Max, as his only living relative. The trip coincides with a suspension following a questionable stock trade being investigated by the authorities. In typical banker fashion, at first all Max can see of his inheritance are pound signs (the pound sterling, that is), and quickly moves to sell the place, pushing away any residual sentimentality from the summers he spent there as a boy. A few things hinder his quick payout though—the rundown house and ramshackle grounds, the undrinkable wine produced by the vineyard, and a surprise visit from a young American woman (Abbie Cornish) who may be Henry’s illegitimate child. While attempting to solve these problems and get back to his life in London, Max falls a bit in love with the place, and with the short-tempered local goddess (Marion Cotillard) he meets through a series of unlucky encounters. In the space of a week he learns that the situation, like wine, is more complex than it seems at first taste, and that the idyllic rural life might have more to offer him than he knows.   Don’t we all wish we could slow down sometimes? Leave behind our fast-paced lives and sink into a lazy, hedonistic existence in a beautiful locale? To learn that there is so much more to life than making money? Well, now you can—for two hours, at least. A Good Year is light-hearted and sweet, with notes of comedy, and a smooth finish of self-discovery. And if you’re not sold yet… it’s also directed by Ridley Scott.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #2: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Everything will be alright in the end. If it is not alright, it is not yet the end.” A very unconventional ensemble film which follows seven elder Brits who move to Jaipur, India to retire at the “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” which turns out to be considerably less luxurious than pictured in the brochure. The cast of characters includes new widow Evelyn (Judi Dench) who spent her life relying on her husband and is ready to get out of her comfort zone, xenophobic former domestic worker Muriel (Maggie Smith) who is only in India for a hip replacement without the six-month wait, high court judge Graham (Tom Wilkinson) who has returned to the country where he grew up to find a loved one from his past, married couple Douglas and Jean (Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton) who can’t afford to retire in the UK after investing their savings in their daughter’s internet venture, self-imagined ladies man Norman (Ronald Pickup) who is looking for one last fling, and endless romantic Madge (Celia Imrie) who has come looking for love and adventure. The film follows the ups and downs of this varied group as they navigate unmet expectations, culture shock, and new friendships under the guidance of the young, well-intentioned but inept hotel proprietor Sonny (Dev Patel), who is also struggling with his failing business and a controlling mother who wants him to forget the woman he loves and agree to an arranged marriage. All of the characters are realistic portrayals of good people trying to do their best with lives that haven’t turned out exactly as they hoped. Their intertwined stories bring us meditations on aging, acceptance, self-belief, friendship, and love. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is heartwarming, inspiring, joyful, sad, and funny. It’s a film that leaves me with an intense feeling of contentment (as oxymoronic as that sounds).

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films For Stress Relief - #1: About Time (2013)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We’re all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.” When Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) is 21, his father (Bill Nighy, again) lets him in on a secret—the men in their family have the ability to travel back in time, to revisit any moment of their lives. Tim decides, with his father’s guidance, to use the gift to find love. After some initial disappointment, he meets and has a wonderful night with a lovely girl (Rachel McAdams, again), but that night is erased when he goes back to help a friend avoid professional embarrassment. It takes a bit of trial and error, but from information he gleaned in their first meeting, he’s able to reverse engineer a new perfect first date with her. In some films that would be the entirety of the movie, but for About Time, that’s just the jumping off point. The two marry and Tim continues to use his gift throughout their young lives to right wrongs, help loved ones, visit those who’ve passed on, and learn about what is truly important in life. About Time is very unique. Unlike most films that torture the characters in order to move the plot forward, in this one there is no bad guy, and there really is no central conflict. There aren’t many (if any) situations where you’re yelling at the screen, imploring them to make better choices. There are some difficult moments the characters must navigate, but mostly you’re just going along with them, experiencing the good and the less good, watching them do their best to live rightly and appreciate the time they have. The descriptor that keeps resounding in my head when I think of this is lovely. Lovely people, lovely story, lovely message… a truly lovely way to spend an evening.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #10: Meet the Parents (2000)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bet you didn’t expect to see a Ben Stiller comedy on a list about stress, huh? The humor certainly distills it, but this movie still makes me highly uncomfortable. Gaylord “Greg” Focker is just a nice guy with an unfortunate name who loves his girlfriend deeply and is trying to make a good impression on her parents. But everything goes awry. Some of it due to other character’s actions (did Robert De Niro have to be such a dick?), some his own bad decisions (replacing the missing cat with an imposter was a big no-no), and some just dumb luck (if only the airline hadn’t lost his luggage!).  As the unfortunate events pile up, the stakes go from “her parents won’t like me” to “the woman I want to marry no longer trusts me.” Watching this, screaming “NO!” at the TV with every bad decision that Focker makes, and being unable to stop it is nigh unbearable. And secondhand embarrassment is a real thing. Add it all up, and you’ve got the reason I’ve only watched this film twice, despite its hilarity.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #9: Don’t Look Up (2021)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The stakes of this one are pretty darn high. There’s a planet-killing comet barreling toward Earth, and not only will no one do anything to stop it, few are taking it seriously, and many are even doubting its existence. The astronomers who know the score do everything they can—going through official channels (to a President more concerned about her public image and re-election than the fate of the world), using the media (“we like to keep things light on this show!”), and spearheading a grassroots campaign (Just Look UP! to counter the DON’T LOOK UP crowd). In the end, stupidity and corporate greed win, and the Earth is smashed to smithereens while the ultrarich board an escape ship to the nearest habitable planet… and are promptly eaten by beaked reptile-like creatures known as Bronteroc. But don’t worry—there’s this super cool song where Ariana Grande sings the lyrics “get your head out of your a** and listen to the g** d*** qualified scientists,” which almost makes up for it all.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #8: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Picture it: after an emotional day in which you broke off your engagement, your car is sideswiped and you wake up in a barren concrete room, chained to the wall. I don’t know about you, but I’d call that a bad day. On top of that, a super sketchy John Goodman tells you that while you were sleeping, the world ended. What’s the truth? Were you kidnapped, or rescued? And honestly, which is more terrifying? Even once Mary Elizabeth Winstead sees enough to believe that there was some sort of attack rendering the air outside unsafe, all is not well. She’s still locked in a cramped bunker with two strange men, one of whom is controlling and quick to anger, and… well… apparently kidnapped someone else even before the world ended.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #7: Panic Room (2002)</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s right there in the title—Panic. It sounds silly to Jodie Foster at first. A fortified, hidden bunker equipped with food and supplies, inside a swanky Manhattan brownstone? Seriously, when would you ever need THAT? On night one, as it turns out. Jared Leto, disgruntled grandson of the previous owner, breaks in with two accomplices to liberate millions in bearer bonds from the floor safe that only he knows about. When Jodi realizes there’s men in the house, she’s suddenly very pro-panic room. But what they want is—DUN DUN DUN—in that room. Jodie is claustrophobic, her daughter is diabetic with dropping blood sugar, the men won’t leave until they get what they came for, and she can’t call for help. The stalemate on its own is enough to raise your blood pressure. Every attempt at rescue is thwarted, the robbers’ attempted incursions into the panic room grow more desperate and dangerous, and one of the men turns out to be a bona fide psycho who is not afraid to beat someone to death, or shoot them in the head (whichever the situation calls for). Sources of stress: severe constriction of space, threat of physical harm to self and loved ones, feeling out of control and unable to summon help  Stress score- 7/10</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #6: Uncut Gems (2019)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is another that might seem surprising. It’s not a typical thriller—there’s no kidnapping, confinement, or threat of extreme violence. (At least, not until the last few minutes.) But what we get up front is stressful enough. The first view of Adam Sandler’s character is him undergoing a colonoscopy, and ironically, this is the most comfortable scene of the movie. After the camera up the rectum, we then see Adam’s thug debt-collectors, his mooching mistress, and the depths of his gambling addiction—all during the opening credits. He makes bad decision after bad decision, dragging us viewers along, powerless to stop it. Adam juggles championship sports rings, cash, fake Rolexes, and the titular uncut gem (none of which really belong to him) through bookies, pawn brokers, dismissive auction appraisers, and superstitious pro athletes, always promising to return one thing or another, which he’s only ever able to do by screwing over one of the other parties. As soon as he has the means to get himself out of the hole, he picks up a shovel and digs a little deeper. Nevertheless he manages to be likable, which makes his struggles that much harder to watch. Eventually, things settle down for Adam. He’s returned the championship ring he had unjustly pawned, he's sold the gem and now has the money to pay off his brother-in-law, and he’s reconciled with his girlfriend, who is actually quite sweet. But Adam hungers for the rush of adrenaline, so moments before he hands over the cash to his brother-in-law and the increasingly-violent hired goons, he takes the whole nut and sneaks it to Atlantic City for a longshot bet. That climax, with the hired goons trapped between the security doors, forced (as we are as an audience) to watch the ups and downs of the basketball game that will determine Adam’s fate… Cue racing heart, sweating palms, and excited optimism that it just might work out. And it does! – NOT. He wins the bet, his girlfriend evades the guys looking for her in Atlantic City and sneaks off with the million-plus in winnings, but Adam is shot in the head by the pissed off debt-collecting goon before receiving his fortune. JAYSUS! Sources of stress: pressure of being pursued (having to stay one step ahead in his deceptions), constant frustrations, emotional strain, threat of violence.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #5: Nocturnal Animals (2016)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I knew I wanted this one on my list, but I wasn’t sure exactly where it should fall, so I plopped it in the middle. On the one hand, the stress is mostly confined to a single scene, which isn’t even “real” (it’s a story within a story). On the other hand, that one scene is without a doubt the most stressful thing I have ever experienced in cinema. Jake Gyllenhaal is driving his wife and teenage daughter in the dead of night through the barren wastelands of West Texas (where even cell phone signals don’t go), when they are targeted by a group of no-goodniks. The men slow down, speed up, swerve, and threaten them until they run Jake and his family off the road, disabling their car via flat tire. Then, like a cat playing with a mouse, they turn nice(ish) and offer to fix the tire. Jake, the good-natured passive gentleman, isn’t sure how to navigate the situation, attempting to de-escalate and placate the men. As an audience we’re right there with him—feeling unsure of their intentions, trapped by the circumstances, and powerless as we watch things escalate through jeering to verbal abuse and threats, then to physical assault. And ultimately, in a striking, muted, slow motion POV scene, we’re unable to stop the men from dashing into Jake’s car and driving off with the two people who matter to him most in the world, one of whom is screaming and pounding on the back windshield as they screech away to an uncertain (but certainly grim) fate. O. M. G.  Sources of stress: uncertainty, constriction, situations spiraling out of control, inability to seek help, threat of physical and sexual violence.  Stress score- 8/10</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #4: Training Day (2001)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lots of the movies on this list have threats of violence and potential loss of life as a stress point. This one is no exception, but add onto that the first day on a new job, and the boss from Hell. Idealist rookie cop Ethan Hawke has a wife and new young baby to support, and hopes that this assignment to a Narcotics squad will put him on the fast track to Detective status. But his new boss, Denzel Washington, is dismissive and verbally abusive from minute one. Caught between wanting to obey his superior officer and not wanting to break the rules (or laws), Ethan tries to walk a very narrow line. But as his first day goes on, each WTF moment is followed by another, even more outrageous. Drink a beer in the car. Smoke some PCP. Let two violent suspects go. Serve a fake warrant and steal $40k. Collude with shady administrators for a $4 million seizure, $1 million of which will “mysteriously disappear.” Kill someone. By the time Ethan realizes he’s embroiled in corruption, he’s in too deep to get out safely. The stakes go from “will he screw up this opportunity?” to “will he make it out alive?” shockingly fast, in the space of his first day. The audience is never given a chance to breathe. As soon as you think it can’t get any worse, it does, and Ethan Hawke has no good options. Someone hand me a paper bag to breathe into; I’m hyperventilating… Sources of stress: tension between warring desires (to please his boss, to follow the rules), situations spiraling out of control, inability to seek help, threat of prosecution, threat of physical violence and death.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #3: Get Out (2017)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is Meet the Parents, the non-comedy, racist, twisted, extremely violent edition. Daniel Kaluuya really should’ve listened to Lil Rel Howery and steered clear of his white girlfriend’s family home in the country. Daniel was definitely worrying a bit about racism, but not, umm… psychological violation and subjugation of self to be overtaken by the psyche of the highest bidder. From minute one though, things feel off. The black maid and black groundskeeper seem peculiar and unable to relate to him the way he expects. His girlfriend’s brother is strangely confrontational and violent, but hides it behind a sort of “I’m just joking” razor-thin façade. He’s hypnotized without his consent, under the guise of helping him to quit smoking. And, he becomes a centerpiece at a strange party of the family’s elderly friends, who all have something intrusively complimentary to say about him as a black man. But wait, there is one person of color there—the young, strangely-dressed arm candy of a 60-something-year-old woman, who also acts extremely odd, and in a sudden outburst runs at Daniel and tells him to… of course… GET OUT. By the time he tries, he finds the conspiracy goes deeper than he imagined, and his girlfriend is also in on it.  Sources of stress: interpersonal tension, isolation, confusion, threats to psychological wellbeing, threat of violence and psychological slavery. Stress score- 8/10</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #2: Buried (2010)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This one may be higher or lower on your personal list, depending on your particular phobias. I’m not intensely claustrophobic, but enough that I’m very uneasy in spaces where I don’t have room to stand. So, waking in the dark, bound and gagged, in a pinewood coffin, buried alive in Iraq—as Ryan Reynolds is in this film—is pretty high on my list of nightmares. He has a few things to help him though, including a lighter, a cell phone, and a flask of alcohol and bottle of anxiety meds. (I would’ve relied on those last two far more than Ryan did.) Physically, he’s completely helpless. But he tries to use the tools at his disposal to seek rescue. His calls for help are bounced around, finally ending up with the head of the Hostage Working Group in Iraq, who tells Ryan that it’s against national security policy to pay the ransom, but that they will do everything they can. Ryan’s communications with the kidnappers are no help either—they refuse to accept that he can’t get the money, execute his friend and coworker, threaten his family stateside, and demand that he record a propaganda video that includes cutting off one of his fingers. Oh, there’s also a snake, fire, dying cellphone battery, and friendly-fire bombing that causes sand to start leaking in. And just when you think things can’t get any worse, HR calls and tells him he was actually fired the morning before he was kidnapped, so no, they wouldn’t be paying out his life insurance if he died. And—spoiler alert—he dies. We think he’s being saved when he’s told that a suspect was leading them to the body of an American buried alive, but, as sand fills the coffin, we find that the body they dug up was only the skeletal remains of another kidnapped American that they couldn’t save. WHAT A RIDE. Sources of stress: extreme confinement, race against time to get out, feeling out-of-control, threat of violence against loved ones, coerced violence against himself, threat of death Stress score- 9/10</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Films To Stress You Out - #1: Cape Fear (1991)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This one is an absolute masterpiece of tension, starting slow and building steadily to the harrowing climax. (Again, did Robert De Niro have to be such a dick?!) Nick Nolte is a defense attorney who fourteen years prior defended accused rapist Robert De Niro less-than-zealously. De Niro then makes it his life mission to teach his backstabbing former attorney about loss. First it’s just annoying him, menacing, a little light stalking. Then the family dog gets it. Then Nick’s not-quite-but-almost mistress is savagely attacked in one of the most horrifying, brutal, and violent scenes ever put to film. His 15-year-old daughter is also targeted, with an intensely creepy private conversation culminating in a disturbing pseudo-consensual kiss. But everything De Niro does is calculated to keep from getting caught. Nick knows he’s the one behind it, but the ex-convict has walked the line of legality so deftly, the beleaguered attorney is never able to prove wrongdoing. On the advice of a shady Private Investigator, Nick agrees to a plan to end De Niro via justifiable homicide, in a scene that manages to make a teddy bear terrifying. When that ends with the family housekeeper and the P.I. dead, Nick and his family retreat to their house boat on the Cape Fear river. But again, De Niro is so much more clever than they anticipated, strapping himself to the bottom of their car to follow them along for the ride. The final scenes include a violent storm, raging river, attempted rape, immolation, and a strange yet haunting exchange where De Niro puts Nick on trial, speaking to the camera as if to an invisible judge. Finally the houseboat is destroyed, and De Niro, handcuffed to a piece of the wreckage, is dragged beneath the surface of the water, never once breaking eye contact with his nemesis, evincing a single-mindedness unparalleled in all of cinema. OY VEY. I’m having heart palpitations just thinking about it. Sources of stress: being pursued, uncertainty as to where and how he will come at him next, situations spiraling out of control, being doubted/disbelieved, threat of violence and death against pets, friends, loved ones, and self Stress score- 10/10</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Carmen Jones d. Otto Preminger</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first of several musicals featured in this list. Carmen Jones was selected into the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1992 – an annual process that seeks out films deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. Carmen Jones stands out from other films of the era thanks to it featuring a cast of predominantly African American actors including Harry Belafonte (he could do it all!), Dorothy Dandridge, and Pearl Bailey. It’s also noteworthy in that Dorothy Dandridge became the first African American to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role, ultimately losing to Grace Kelly (The Country Girl). In addition to the talented cast and compelling songs, it’s directed with wonderous precision by the legendary director, Otto Preminger (Anatomy of a Murder, Angel Face).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Creature From The Black Lagoon d. Jack Arnold</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Universal Classic Monsters of the 30s, 40s, and 50s are well-documented and their legacy continues into the 21st century. This includes iconic figures like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and The Wolf Man, but the Creature from the Black Lagoon might just be the most underrated of the bunch. Jack Arnold’s aquatic creature feature, originally released in black &amp; white 3D, uses its lean 80-minute runtime to maximum effect. It moves briskly through the narrative and the practical creature effects, which could have come off as hokey for the time, hold up quite well compared to other monsters of the era. The film was also clearly an intense inspiration for Oscar-winning Mexican director, Guillermo del Toro, who took his love of the source material and made it into something of his own with 2017’s The Shape of Water, which went on to win Best Picture at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Godzilla d. Ishiro Honda</image:title>
      <image:caption>We move from one monster to another, this time heading to the Land of the Rising Sun. In 1954, Japan was still dealing with the devastation of the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. Enter director Ishiro Honda. The Japanese writer/director was able to craft a piece of fiction that captivated the world with its visual flair, as well as dealing with the much heavier thematic elements of the fear and trauma Japanese citizens were struggling with following a nuclear attack in a sensitive and authentic way – something almost every American-made version of Godzilla has struggled to correctly capture since. The influence of Honda’s Godzilla can’t be denied. It established the kaiju genre and is currently named by the Guinness World Records as the longest-running film franchise of all-time. It’s also fitting that on his 70th birthday in 2024, Godzilla won his first Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for Takashi Yamazaki’s 2023 surprise hit, Godzilla Minus One.

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - La Strada d. Federico Fellini</image:title>
      <image:caption>Italian directing giant, Federico Fellini (8 ½ , La Dolce Vita), infused 1954 with so much vibrancy, life, and pain, told through the eyes of Giulietta Masina’s masterful performance as Gelsomina in La Strada. This film is notable for being the first to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Feature in 1957, even though it was released in Italy years before. Many actors, directors, and cinephiles, such as David Cronenberg, Mike Newell, and even Fellini’s contemporary, Akira Kurosawa, have cited La Strada as a landmark moment in film history, influencing much of their own work. Though the film is hard to define in a single genre or film movement, at its core it’s a road film much like that of say Paris, Texas (1984, Wim Wenders). For anyone that wants to expand their horizon and get into classic European films of the mid-twentieth century, Fellini should be your starting point, with this movie right at the top.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - On the waterfront d. Elia Kazan</image:title>
      <image:caption>This film is an absolute juggernaut. When I think of the term “essential” as I craft these lists, On the Waterfront ticks every single box. Acclaimed director? Check. Multiple Academy Award wins (including Best Picture)? Check. One of the most memorable and talked about individual acting performances in history? Check! The second of my ten essential films of 1954 to land in the United States National Film Registry – the Library of Congress added this in their inaugural year (1989) as one of the first 25 films selected to their illustrious collection. Any discussion about On the Waterfront should begin with Marlon Brando’s universally beloved portrayal of lead character, Terry Malloy, which won him his first Academy Award as Lead Actor. To add a bit of Oscars trivia, Marlon Brando was nominated for Best Actor in four consecutive years (1951-1954), a record that is still unmatched by any other actor in any category. The line, “You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender…” is one of the most often quoted by film lovers. Rober De Niro famously used it again while playing Jake La Motta in Martin Scorsese’s 1980 boxing drama, Raging Bull, and the line was listed at #3 on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes in 2005. On top of Brando’s supernova performance, it’s surrounded by three supporting actors (Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger) and one supporting actress (Eva Marie Saint) who all rose to the occasion, matched Brando’s intensity, and all earned Academy Awards nominations of their own. The three supporting men probably canceled each other out in the voting, losing to Edmund O’Brien (The Barefoot Contessa), but Eva Marie Saint took home the gold statue for her vital work. If you haven’t had a chance to see On the Waterfront yet, I would recommend finding the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray version (www.criterion.com) which is jam-packed full of bonus content on top of the 4K restoration of the film itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Rear Window d. Alfred Hitchcock</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’re onto our third film now to be part of the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, with it being selected in 1997. I’m starting to get the feeling that 1954 was a landmark year for film. Alfred Hitchcock is a name synonymous with the language of film. Known by both casual movie watchers and hardcore cinephiles alike, it’s fascinating to look back on his career and realize that he lost all five times he was nominated as Best Director at the Oscars, even though his 1941 film, Rebecca, took the grand prize and won Best Picture. While Psycho would be my pick for the film most associated with Hitchcock, a compelling case could be made that Rear Window is his most impressive film from a technical, directorial standpoint.  It stars two legends of the screen, James Stewart and Grace Kelly, as well as a memorable supporting performance by Thelma Ritter. Hitchcock is able to use the limited nature of the story setting (a single apartment) to maximum effect, slowly ratcheting up the tension as the mystery unfolds. The way Hitchcock delves into voyeurism was light years ahead of its time, taking another fifty years to be matched with Michael Haneke’s Cache (2005). Rear Window is slick, tightly paced, and watching it again reinforces why Alfred Hitchcock was one of one as the master of mystery and suspense.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Sabrina d. Billy Wilder</image:title>
      <image:caption>At my core, I’m a sucker for a well-crafted and endearing romantic comedy. 1954’s Sabrina is one I can go back to time and time again. It always leaves me with that warm and fuzzy feeling. Most of that is due to the radiance and star-power of Audrey Hepburn. The two men vying for her heart are played perfectly by Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, two actors known for the ability to deliver quality performances with an admirable consistency, given the number of films they both appeared in throughout their careers. The film wouldn’t completely work though if not for the crisp and breezy script, directed exquisitely by Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard, Ace in the Hole). For those keeping a running count on films in this list that are part of the Library of Congress’ National Registry, we are up to four! Sabrina was selected in 2002. If you like the sound of this movie and go looking for it to watch/stream, be sure to avoid the pitfall of accidentally stumbling across the 1995 remake starring Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond. It’s harmless, but pales in comparison to the original.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - Seven Samurai d. Akira Kurosawa</image:title>
      <image:caption>If someone were to ask you to name a film that changed the trajectory of the medium and bred a litany of copycats (I’m looking at you, A Bug’s Life), which would instantly come to mind? I can say with total certainty that Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai would be one of the first I’d answer with. The nearly three-and-a-half-hour Japanese samurai epic has rightfully ended up on nearly every major publication’s list of the greatest films ever made since it was made in 1954. The idea of assembling a team to battle a villain in the name of justice hadn’t really been seen on screen in any substantial way before Seven Samurai. In the years since, we’ve seen this idea recycled in nearly every genre of film, whether it’s 1960’s The Magnificent Seven (an obvious replica), 1977’s Star Wars, or even 2012’s The Avengers. Each of these incredible films owes a debt of gratitude to Kurosawa and co. for not just setting the bar, but for creating it. In addition to having a master behind the camera meticulously crafting the structure, Seven Samurai is blessed with some of the best ensemble acting of any film, led by Japanese acting royalty, Takashi Shimura and Toshiro Mifune. The film also boasts a final hour where the careful nature of the first two acts sets up an explosion of action that will leave you on the edge of your seat, even after seeing it numerous times. Seven Samurai is an action-adventure masterpiece whose legacy only continues to grow with each passing decade.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - A Star is Born d. George Cukor</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s easy in 2024 to look back on A Star is Born and roll your eyes at the idea of this exact story being told four times on film (1937, 1954, 1976, 2018). Don’t let four versions of the same story distract you from the fact that all four are excellent films, with each of the four having an audience in the film community as their favorite. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that Bradley Cooper-directed 2018 rendition, starring Lady Gaga, and featuring some breathtaking songs, is my personal favorite. Even though that’s the one I go back to most frequently, George Cukor’s 1954 take on the story, starring Judy Garland and James Mason is a Technicolor delight. The soundtrack is filled with hits, one after another, sung beautifully by the powerful pipes Judy Garland was born with, no pun intended. This film was also added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2000, the fifth film on this list with that distinction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Essential 1954 Films - White Christmas d. Michael Curtiz</image:title>
      <image:caption>For my final pick as an essential film of 1954, I decided to go with the Bing Crosby-starring White Christmas. Even if you haven’t seen the film, it’s impossible to escape the holiday season without hearing the central song countless times on the radio. Fun fact: Bing Crosby originally sang the titular song in 1942’s Holiday Inn, more than a decade before this Christmas classic hit the screen. While this is admittedly not one of my favorite holiday films, I felt its inclusion was necessary since it still has a legion of die-hard fans and Bing Crosby’s legacy has remained intact as one of the central musical figures of that time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - The Long Walk (2019) Directed by Mattie Do</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love science fiction, and I love horror.Discovering this film at random felt like peeking into a real world populated with people I was interested in and fiction I could believe. Do has a fascinating story and an incredible eye for what excites us and what scares us. As the first female Laotian director she isn’t just breaking ground in a genre, but in an entire country. Watch this movie.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - Wanda (1970) Directed by Barbara Loden</image:title>
      <image:caption>For Americans, the 1970’s remain a high watermark for filmmaking. Gone was the golden age, the beach party dance fests and what was left was dark, dirty and oftentimes criminal. Written, directed and starring Loden, Wanda deserves more recognition for helping kick start the decade of dread and revelation about the American dream. Something dreadful, beautiful and unforgettable was emerging, and Loden delivered all three in Wanda.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - The Rider (2017) Directed by Chloe Zhao</image:title>
      <image:caption>What would you be willing to sacrifice to show something honest? How much is telling the truth worth, on a gamble? Zhao answers these questions by filling her cast with untrained actors and the screen with the simultaneously empty and teeming American wilderness to breathtaking results. By removing all of the excess we are left with humanity, but it’s humanity dressed in beauty and drama so brilliantly bright that it leaves the screen and helps you see those around you with as much care as you see the people in the story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - Girlfriends (1978) Directed by Claudia Weill</image:title>
      <image:caption>Watching Girlfriends for the first time felt like discovering a missing puzzle piece, the piece that pulled together all of the disjointed chunks that were already assembled but not making an entire picture yet. Simple, relatable and a fantastic snapshot of old New York, Girlfriends would inspire an entire genre of filmmaking that is not incredibly commonplace: the meandering half-adult. When I interviewed director Carl Joseph E. Papa in 2023, a man from the Philippines, he had a poster for Girlfriends hanging directly behind him. This stunned me, as it isn’t the greatest known film, but it cemented the film as foundational material for storytellers that want to tell the story of people as they are, without flashing lights and superpowers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) Directed by Lotte Reiniger</image:title>
      <image:caption>A sense of wonder is something to be held in great esteem and should be pursued by all lovers of film. To set aside our boredom, our experiences with the craft that leave us jaded in the face of miracles and embrace the magic of the moving image is one of the great joys in life. Reiniger pulls from Chinese methods of paper cutting and shadow play while helping to push the entire medium of filmed animation forward during her career, all the while producing images that in their simplicity draw the corners of our mouths back into a smile. Watch this film, then read about her life, her career and her contribution to animation. It’s ok to love Walt, but Lotte get here first.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) Directed by Amy Holden Jones</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are a fan of horror you are well aware that for every masterpiece there are about a dozen or so … not masterpieces. The Slumber Party Massacre isn’t here because it defines a genre or deserves awards, it’s here because the same material can be handled in incredibly different ways by people with different perspectives. Female writers, editors and director give The Slumber Party Massacre a unique enough feel to banish any doubt that “The Male Gaze” isn’t only real but that it is rampant. Double points for the refrigerator gag.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - The Ascent (1977) Directed by Larisa Shipetko</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we talk about the great films about war our conversation can be incredibly limited to American films, and almost exclusively films directed by men. This is a tragedy, because one of the greatest films about war, and one of the greatest films ever made is from Russia and director Shipetko. Focusing on the fringes of battle and the bureaucracy of murder, The Ascent fully displays how war removes our humanity in order to accomplish its mission. Years before Private Ryan was saved and Metal Jackets were Full, Shipetko helped define a genre for all time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - Pariah (2011) Directed by Dee Rees</image:title>
      <image:caption>Heartbreaking, humorous and unforgettable, Dee Rees makes us look at the whole picture with Pariah. For Alike, to live honestly is to live riskily and to speak openly could cause too much of what she has spent her lifetime hiding to come to the surface. Pariah is a small, slow moving meditation on not only escape, but the pain felt by all members of Alike’s family and friends. Are there easy answers? No, but moments that make us stop and see ourselves in a myriad of ways and faces.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Films Directed By Women That Will Change your Life (Maybe) - Hive (2021) Directed by Blerta Basholli</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hive takes its time to reveal what kind of a movie it is. As an audience we feel fear, pity, joy, hopeless and hopeful in only 84 minutes. The film is grounded by Yllka Gashi as Fahrije, a woman that faces odds that to us seem unbeatable, but thankfully she is not us. To tell the story more is to partially ruin the power of this film, and while it is incredibly localized and of it’s time and setting it holds the power to show the truth of love and community in the face of wicked apathy. Watch it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Boogeyman is a great paranormal horror led by up-and-coming actress Sophie Thatcher. She’s mastered the brooding teenager with her role in Yellow Jackets and brings that same energy to The Boogeyman. Family drama interspersed throughout the film shows Thatcher’s range.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>No One Will Save You has very little dialogue but that doesn’t hold Kaitlyn Dever back from giving a dynamic performance. Dever had already proven herself in the Comedy genre with Booksmart and Rosaline, and now she’s shown she has the chops for Horror too.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This list would not be complete without Maggot Mommy. In Evil Dead Rise, Alyssa Sutherland’s creepy performance goes way beyond the makeup (which is also very creepy and well done). Sutherland’s ability to portray the possession is truly haunting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Top 10 Horror Performances Of 2023 - 4. Sarah Snook, Run Rabbit Run</image:title>
      <image:caption>A lot of great performances playing moms this year! Run Rabbit Run is a slower-paced horror that keeps you guessing. Sarah Snook captures the insecurities, paranoia, and spiral of this character so well. I haven’t seen Succession (I know, I know) but I can see why she’s gotten so much praise as an actor following it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Top 10 Horror Performances Of 2023 - 3. Ben Aldridge, Knock at the Cabin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ben Aldridge manages to stand out amongst a great ensemble cast in Knock at the Cabin. There’s an emotional arc in the film that you don’t always find in horror films, and while Knock at the Cabin isn’t considered a horror by some, it’s a horrific situation that has a greater impact because of the performances. Aldridge portrays his character’s strong willpower so effectively.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Top 10 Horror Performances Of 2023 - 2. Sophie Wilde, Talk to Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sophie Wilde gives an Oscar-worthy performance in Talk to Me. One of the strongest horror performances of the last decade. Her range, her emotion, how SCARY she is at times, it’s such a feat. Her career is definitely one to follow after this. Talk to Me is the scariest film on this list, so brace yourself if you haven’t watched it yet.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Top 10 Horror Performances Of 2023 - 1. Kyle Gallner, The Passenger</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Passenger is not a traditional horror. There are no jump-scares. There are no creatures or masked intruders. It’s an existential horror; reflective, poignant, and uncomfortable. As the viewer you feel like the passenger and Kyle Gallner is the driver. You don’t know where he’s taking you. You don’t know what he’s after. And Gallner portrays all of that in a truly masterful way. He’s super talented and will undoubtedly continue to get great roles like this. If you enjoy slow-burn horror you need to watch The Passenger.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - The Big Lebowski</image:title>
      <image:caption>D. Joel &amp; Ethan Coen Coming off their extraordinarily successful and critically acclaimed film, Fargo (1996), the world wondered what would be next for those quirky Coen brothers. Unfortunately, the world was not prepared for their unique brand of strange humor when The Big Lebowski arrived in theaters in the spring of 1998. The movie might have been a box office dud but in the years that have followed, it has grown into one of the defining cult comedies of all-time. There is even a religion (Dudeism) and an annual festival (Lebowski Fest) dedicated to it. The screenplay has become mythicized, with many of the actors on record saying it was so perfectly written that only one line of dialogue was improvised in the final product. A robust ensemble cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Steve Buscemi, and Julianne Moore each pulled their weight, allowing Jeff Bridges and John Goodman to take center stage and have their lights shine the brightest. This movie is an objective classic and any aggression towards it will not stand.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - fear and loathing in Las Vegas</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Terry Gilliam Hunter S. Thompson was a man that is hard to explain, be it in a few sentences here or even a two-hour feature film. A brilliant writer who crafted some of the most free-spirited articles and books of the late 60s and 1970s. His real-life personality seemed hellbent on blending the line between reality and fiction. Just how much of his work actually happened? Did he embellish his exploits for entertainment value or was the truth as debaucherous as it seemed? When it came time to take one of his great works and put it to screen, Terry Gilliam was the perfect choice to take the directing reins. The former Monty Python member made a career out of the weird, himself (Brazil, 12 Monkeys). Add on top of that the casting of both Johnny Depp (as Thompson) and Benicio del Toro (Dr. Gonzo), two actors who give 110% to everything they appear in, and you are left with all the components to a successful adaptation. The final product is a deranged, delirious fever dream that might cause you to question your own sanity and put to the test whether you can get a secondhand high from a film.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - life is beautiful</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Roberto Benigni For starters, let’s not get hung up on exactly which year this falls under. I know it technically released in Italy in December 1997, but it was in the list of 1998 movies when it came to Oscars eligibility so that is where I am putting it. Though it has an underwhelming Metascore on IMDb, it also boasts a whopping 8.6 average with the IMDb audience score, landing it in the top thirty highest-rated movies on the app. Roberto Benigni pulled triple duty as writer, director, and actor – ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Actor. I find Benigni’s portrayal to be pitch perfect. He deftly bounces between comedy, giving off vibes of silent film stars such as Chaplin and Keaton, and seriousness when called for. While some might find the tone devalues the actual experiences of those that suffered through atrocities during the Holocaust, I believe there is a tenderness to the film that illustrates how even in the most horrific situations, a parent’s devotion to preserving the innocence of their children is a universal trait we can all connect with.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - out of sight</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Steven Soderbergh Just because this heist film now stands in the shadow of Steven Soderbergh’s more known Ocean’s Eleven (2001), its greatness cannot be ignored or brushed aside. In many ways, it does feel like the director was working out how he was going to tackle the Ocean's trilogy, with a number of similarities between Out of Sight and those films. If you are looking for a selling point to check this one out, it features some of the best romantic and sexual chemistry of the nineties, courtesy of George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. The scenes with the two are hot and steamy, while the action elements of the plot are pulled off with Soderbergh’s typical prowess and precision.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>d. John Dahl The movie that single-handedly started the poker boom of the early 2000s? It is pretty easy to draw a direct line starting at this movie, going through ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker, a rise in online gambling, and the eventual WSOP main event win by amateur Chris Moneymaker, as key contributors to a sports/gambling industry thriving today. The movie itself is a good, if less than spectacular one that belongs on this list primarily due to its culture impact and the bonkers performance by John Malkovich. That accent. You either love it or hate it, but one thing cannot be denied; you will not soon forget it. Find time to check out the clips on YouTube where Matt Damon has told hilarious stories about shooting his scenes with Malkovich and just how shocking it was to hear the infamous accent for the first time. You will not be disappointed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - Rushmore</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Wes Anderson Even though Bottle Rocket (1996) is Wes Anderson’s directorial debut, most movie-goers tend to point to this as the first time they saw his specific brand of eccentricities put on film. While you can make the case that Anderson has spun himself into a corner, now being expected to craft everything he makes with the same aesthetic paint brush, Rushmore was such a shocking breath of fresh air in the late 90s. Jason Schwartzman burst onto the scene as the obnoxious Max Fischer, Billy Murray brought his clout as a comedy legend in a remarkable supporting role, and we got our first taste of Anderson’s knack for building a robust ensemble of character actors (Seymour Cassel, Brian Cox, Luke Wilson). Rushmore also features one of my favorite needle drops of the last three decades, courtesy of a deep-cut Rolling Stones track.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - saving private Ryan</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Steven Spielberg Any discussion about Spielberg’s WWII epic must begin with the opening fifteen minutes – storming the beaches of Normandy. What unfolds is an immersive, brutal, and harrowing look at the horror that happened in 1944, skillfully guided by an expert in his craft who utilizes expert camerawork to add a layer of realism that had not been seen in a war film since Platoon (1986). Tom Hanks’ lead performance is something to behold. There is a gravitas to the work, as well as his ability to convey so much emotion with little gestures and minimal dialogue between the action set pieces. The overall cast also reads like a who's who of legendary actors including Paul Giamatti, Matt Damon, Bryan Cranston, and so many more. Saving Private Ryan will continue to keep its seat at the table whenever debates come up about what is the best war film.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - the thin red line</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Terrence Malick If Spielberg’s goal with his WWII film was to put you into the thick of battle with an easy to connect with storyline, the famously reclusive Terrence Malick opted for the complete opposite approach with his own look at global conflict. As is often the case with Malick’s films, there is a loose plot to try and grab hold of, but he seems far more interested in taking an esoteric, philosophical approach to his work that always wrestles with humanity's place in the universe and the meaning of life itself. As someone who is on record saying I have seen The Thin Red Line a half dozen times and only finally have come to appreciate on the last two watches, my advice would be to sit back and let the experience wash over you as if you were an alien observing a new planet for the first time. That approach to studying these characters and their actions is what finally unlocked my full appreciation for the film. If you follow these steps and still find it dull, boring, and aimless, there is always the beauty of John Toll’s cinematography that makes every frame a remarkable sight.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 essential 1998 films - the truman show</image:title>
      <image:caption>d. Peter Weir Of all the films of 1998, none have managed to be more ahead of their time than The Truman Show. It accurately and frighteningly predicted reality television and our need to document our entire lives in a way that I do not think it could have imagined. When we look at the acting, Jim Carrey brings something special that I am not sure anyone else could have conveyed with the right balance of warmth, drama, and comedy. It’s easy to look back now and see his work in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon, etc. as proof of Carrey’s dramatic chops, but it was still a gamble back in 1998 to give such a big role to someone exclusively known for over the top (and critically panned) comedy. Ed Harris and Laura Linney are standouts in the supporting cast, and the other star of the show is the script. It is filled with memorable lines, never loses pace, and has an ending that has remained a crowd-pleaser for decades.</image:caption>
