It can't be over stated how great the films were in the 90's. I started high school in 1990 so I was at the perfect age to start exploring films beyond the multiplex. Netflix hadn't killed Blockbuster and Blockbuster hadn't killed the mom & pop video stores. It was a great time to be a young cinefile in the making. The indie boom was in full swing and every major studio had divisions maker smaller films specifically designed to be different and original. I know everybody looks back at their youth and thinks "they just don't make 'em like that anymore." Its cliche but dear god its true. When I was a kid we had better movies. Exhibit A: Out of Sight Sure this is a film about cops and robbers but its not terribly concerned with the minutia of criminal life or procedural existence.

1999 Directed By: Brad Bird Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Eli Marienthal , Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, Christopher McDonald John Mahoney The Iron Giant is the story of a boy and his giant robot. Sure we've seen variations of the boy and his _____ since the beginning of film but this one truly stands out. The film also has more on its mind than the boy hiding his giant friend from his mother. The story is set in 1957 at the height of the cold war. When the robot crashes into the ocean Americans are staring at the night sky fearfully anticipating an attack from Sputnik.

As heavy handed as this might sound I assure you its not. The story strikes a perfect balance between humor and heart. The film is always interesting and insanely re-watchable. I've seen the films at least five times and the ending

2014 Directed By: Peter Rajesh Joachim Written By: Stevie Jay and Peter Rajesh Joachim Staring: Kassandra Santos, Stevie Jay, Amanda Barker | Blood Empires is an independently produced crime drama focused on street level gangsters, cops and the middle class families that are affected by having loved ones on both sides of the law. At its heart the film is about individuals grasping to hang on to there humanity while their professions strip it away. The film seems to ask if people who are involved in such brutal lives can find and maintain love.  Less can be more. If there is one thing I can say about the visual style of the film.... its in no way restrained. The film opens with a 3 or 4 minute slow motion sequence that leads to an execution in front of a church. The droning organ music and slow motion let us know where the scene is heading as soon as it starts but it takes a while to get there. We the audience are one step ahead of the film and when the inevitabl

Stanley Kubrick is unquestionably one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. While other directors have larger filmography's few if any have a more influential or diverse catalog.
