The Tales of Hoffmann (1951)

Musical Rated NR

“To say that The Tales of Hoffmann is nightmare fuel is not to denigrate it.”

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024)

“…richly rewards those familiar with movies such as The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, and A Matter of Life and Death.”

I Know Where I’m Going! (1945)

Drama Rated NR

“… eschews The Archers’ signature Technicolor for brooding black and white.”

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)

Drama Rated NR

“… occasionally demonstrates the charm, flair, and flourish of other Archers’ pictures…”

Fly Me to the Moon (2024)

Romantic Comedy Rated PG-13

Longlegs (2024)

Horror Rated R

“…establishes a strong enough sense of mood and atmosphere to absorb a DEFCON-2 level Nicolas Cage performance.”
