    Melvin Van Peebles' Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song may have gotten the ball rolling for blaxploitation, but Gordon Parks' Shaft helped the movement explode. Sure, Shaft was a more commercial film, but the righteous anger remained the same. The film's title character, played by Richard Roundtree, is one who lives and breathes 'cool.' His swagger ...

    Roald Dahl may have disowned the film — even though he contributed as a screenwriter — but Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka still introduced many children to a "world of pure imagination" in this adaptation of Dahl's novel. Wilder's performance as a whimsical, yet duplicitous Wonka was only the tip of the iceberg, with a number of memorable musical moment...

    Summer films are usually feel-good enterprises with little overall unpleasantness. Such cannot be said about 1972's Deliverance, one of the more notorious films to come out of the '70s. Starring Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight and Ned Beatty, Deliverance's tale of four friends looking to take in the beauty of the wilderness is one defined by contrasts. B...

    Before granting audiences the visual pleasures of a galaxy far, far away, director George Lucas provided tender rumination on the comforts of the familiar and the frightening aspect of leaving them behind in the coming-of-age film American Graffiti. Featuring Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss, the film depicts four friends trying to make the most of ...

    One of the more lasting images in cinema is Jack Nicholson's Jake Gittes with the bandage taped to his nose. That image, courtesy of the grim neo-noir mystery Chinatown, was a collision course between a well-established director and an actor on his way to the top. Director Roman Polanski's reputation had been set with films such as Repulsion and Ro...

    Nashville's promotion calls the film "The damnedest thing you ever saw," and in many respects, that statement's accuracy is verifiable. First of all, the film features a massive ensemble cast of 24, including Lily Tomlin, Geraldine Chaplin and Henry Gibson, just to name a few. Secondly, the film uses Nashville and the country music industry as a li...

    Doesn't it seem strange that Jaws, one of Steven Spielberg's most heavily-revered films, was essentially a spiritual successor to a TV movie he had directed about a man being chased by a maniacal truck driver? Perhaps, but still, Jaws is immediately recognizable on its own for the contributions it made for modern cinema. Summers would never be the ...

    Indeed, Star Wars was a bit of a leap from American Graffiti, but George Lucas's deft touch and ambitious screenplay helped redefine the then-fledgling interpretation of a 'summer movie.' Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz intended the film to be a space opera with a "low-budget, Roger Corman style," but little could they realize the future fandom they ...

    In spite of its admittedly cloying sweetness, Grease remains the highest grossing musical film of all time for a reason. Its strong leads, warm nostalgia — more for the concept of young love than the period in which it's set — and some incredibly catchy songs have made it live on through the ages. John Travolta was still riding the waves of Saturda...

    Every high school or college comedy released in the last 15 to 20 years has been inspired by and can be traced back to one film: National Lampoon's Animal House. These sorts of films are known for continually upping the ante with each passing gag, and John Landis' film certainly keeps piling on the obscenity in every scene. On its surface, Animal H...

  3. May 3, 2018 · This program from 1992 shows how Summerhill children, left entirely to their own devices, behave; it looks at whether they spurn or take advantage of the academic education offered; whether a tribunal can be effective when the vote of a five-year-old carries as much weight as that of the headmistress. Addeddate.
