    10 great puzzle films

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. “What’s in the box?” wails Brad Pitt’s panicked detective to Kevin Spacey’s implacable serial killer at the end of David Fincher’s pitch-black thriller Se7en (1995). Soon enough Pitt, and the audience, learn the horrific truth about Spacey’s special delivery. It’s testament to the enduring power of mysteries – the who-, why- and how-dunnits – that we always need to know, no matter how awful the solution might be. And those that can still pull one over on game and experienced armchair sleuths – Rian Johnson’s Knives Out (2019) and its upcoming sequel are fine recent examples – are valuable indeed. Of course, those are just one type of ‘puzzle’ movie. Some don’t so much contain a riddle to solve as much as the film itself is constructed as an enigma that defies easy answers, or any definite answer at all. This could be the interlocking double timeframes of Christopher Nolan’s Memento (2000), which tries to replicate its amnesiac protagonist’s short-term memory lapses. Or the playful narrative diversions and roundelay of shifting identities in certain Jacques Rivette films. Peter Greenaway’s breakthrough feature, The Draughtsman’s Contract (1982), appeared 40 years ago and immediately put its own deft, acerbic headspin on British period films. It tells of the titular, entitled 17th-century draughtsman hired to make 12 drawings of a landowner’s country estate by his wife. In return, and in addition to his fee, she will satisfy his pleasures. But that’s only the start of a series of covert transactions, concealed vantage points and hidden motivations to be teased out by the viewer from Greenaway’s precise tableaux. The director would go on to make even more oblique, enigmatic work (often structured around a particular key or code), one of which features below in a selection of cinema’s most beautifully, often hypnotically, baffling brainteasers.

    10 great walking films

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Cinema loves journeys. As a structuring tool, creating a long or short journey is one of the commonest occurrences in film; one that provides a physical beginning and end to a narrative. While a multitude of directors and genres have toyed with the potential mapping various journeys via transport – the road movie in particular – there’s something far more dramatic in showing characters that determinedly walk to where they want to go. Whether using it as a visual tool, just as British director Alan Clarke did in his many famed walking shots, or building whole narratives around a walk, as in many films by French directors Éric Rohmer and Agnès Varda, walking has always been a powerful way to not simply explore place and geography but also to explore character. Considering the slow pace, at least in comparison to other possible methods of getting from A to B, walking can make for surprisingly powerful and dramatic visuals on screen, whether traipsing across dangerous industrial zones, guarded national borders or simply down the busy street of a capital city. As the new British comedy The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry sends Jim Broadbent on an epic traipse from Devon to Berwick-upon-Tweed, here are 10 films it follows in footsteps.

    10 Movies From The 2010s With The Best Dialogue

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. We all know the show “don’t tell” rule when it comes to film. However, certain filmmakers and films use dialogue so specifically that it creates its own poetry. These words tie into the visuals, become a motif for a character, or truly drive the story. Here are the best films of the decade that use dialogue to the fullest.

    100 Lesser-Known Movies to Watch at Home - Cole Stratton

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "Like most of us, I’ve been sheltering in place for a few months now. I’ve caught up on most everything on my DVR and playlists on various streaming platforms, and the algorithms keep suggesting the same things over and over. I turned to the internet for lists of films to watch, but nearly all of them suggest the same mainstream stuff over and over – like, I’ve seen Blade Runner, most of us have seen Blade Runner, or at least are very aware of Blade Runner and can find Blade Runner should we want to see Blade Runner. Blade Runner. I thought a useful tool could be a list of films a little more off the beaten path – from overlooked studio pictures, to little indie gems, to movies that somehow failed to find a large audience but have small factions that swear by them. And, more importantly, where they can be found. I adore or at least enjoyed all of these. So, in alphabetical order, I present to you my picks for hopefully new entertainment to help pass the days stuck inside, along with the various services where they can be found to rent or stream. (A handy guide can be found at justwatch.com). Also, there’s some bonus entries at the end that I just can’t find as streamable online, but I wanted to notate them there." /Cole Stratton, 2020-07-20 http://www.colestratton.com/blog/2020/7/20/100-lesser-known-movies-to-watch-at-home

However, the 100 handpicked films in this section have delighted, moved or educated audiences of all ages, all over the world. Over the last nine decades, these films have changed our perceptions of cinema, and most have left an indelible mark on film history.

    100 to Watch (TimeOut)

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This is a list that's in the same book as the official "TimeOut's 1000 Films to Change Your Life." After discovering that a lot of the films on that list are just merely passing titles in the book, I noticed at the end there was a list of 100 films. That section is titled "100 to Watch." The 1000 film list is just pulling it from the index, ergo, all the films on this list also appear on that one.
