Special effects have become so sophisticated that many of us have probably forgotten how much pure amazement you can wreak with a great story and a script that doesn’t let up for one second. Stars: Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy It’s a spectacle of story, mishmashing romance, adventure, action (chases, fires, explosions) and comedy into a seamless silent masterpiece. At the pinnacle of Buster Keaton’s renowned career, the film didn’t receive critical or box-office success when released, but it has aged tremendously. While a few Charlie Chaplin pictures give it a run for its money, The General is arguably the finest silent comedy ever made-if not the finest comedy ever made. When Yankee spies steal his locomotive and kidnap his girlfriend, a Southern railroad engineer (“The Great Stone Face” Buster Keaton) is forced to pursue his two beloveds across enemy lines. Stars: Joseph Keaton, Marion Mack, Glen Cavender Tim Griersonĭirectors: Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckham What’s most radical about The Big Sick is its optimistic insistence that a little niceness can make all the difference. She swears she doesn’t want a relationship, but soon they fall for one another-even though Kumail knows it can’t work out. That’s when he meets Emily (Zoe Kazan), an American grad student with whom he’s instantly smitten. Born into a Pakistani family who moved to the United States when he was a boy, he’s a dutiful son, despite lying about being a practicing Muslim and politely deflecting the attempts of his parents (Anupam Kher, Zenobia Shroff) to set him up in an arranged marriage. Nanjiani plays a lightly fictionalized version of his younger self, a struggling Chicago stand-up who is having as much success in his career as he in his dating life. So even when the film stumbles, these characters hold you up. That’s not the same as being cutesy: Rather, The Big Sick is defiantly generous, understanding that people are horribly flawed but also capable of immeasurable graciousness when the situation requires. But what cuts deepest is just how profoundly lovable these people are. Gordon, this indie rom-com has a mildly risky structure and some trenchant observations about the culture clashes that go on in immigrant families living in America. Based on the first year in the relationship of married screenwriters Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. The Big Sick can sometimes be awfully conventional, but among its key assets is its radiant view of its characters. Stars: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter Few films remain re-watchable into the double digits, but this one just keeps getting funnier.- Josh Jackson He and Anderson began work on the script long before Bottle Rocket was filmed, and Rushmore contains even more of the DNA found in the rest of Anderson’s catalog. As with Bottle Rocket, Ruhsmore was co-written by Owen Wilson who, like Max, was expelled from a prep school. To make matters worse, he finds out that Herman has begun dating the object of his desire. Cross by breaking ground on a new building without the school’s permission, he’s finally expelled and ends up in a soul-crushing public school. When Max goes too far in trying to prove himself to Ms. The two strike up an unexpected and unconventional friendship, but both end up falling for Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), a teacher at Rushmore. Schwartzman’s Max Fischer is an ambitious yet academically underachieving student at the prestigious Rushmore Academy in Houston, and Bill Murray plays wealthy industrialist Herman Blume. An unlikely inter-generational love triangle leads to one of the most entertaining feuds in filmdom. Rushmore introduced the world to Jason Schwartzman and helped pivot Bill Murray’s career from broad comic to art-house juggernaut. Stars: Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Olivia Williams
