It's oft-forgotten that both sequels to The Matrix were released in 2003 within six months of one another. It was a short enough window of time to ensure that audiences hadn’t grown cynical of the franchise, even with the second installment seeing a dramatic drop in quality from its predecessor. The climax, The Matrix Revolutions, only exacerbated ...
After nearly 20 years away from her signature franchise creation, many wondered whether Lana Wachowski — now working without her sister Lilly, who decided not to take part — could summon up the old magic, and make a movie more akin to the classic original Matrix than the divisive sequels. While anyone expecting a movie as good as the first Matrix w...
Cohesion has never been the strongest suit of the Wachowski sisters but that often doesn’t matter when their visual and emotional roots go so deep with these excitingly original tales. The Matrix Reloaded isn’t the disheartening mess that its sequel was but you can see the wheels coming off the vehicle by this point. It's refreshing to see a blockb...
Jupiter Ascending is one of those truly fascinating disasters that is simultaneously terrible and kind of brilliant. So, essentially, it's Peak Wachowski movie. This space opera tale of a normal woman who discovers she is the true owner of Earth and becomes embroiled in an intergalactic battle is preposterous in the best ways possible. Even simply ...
It’s a minor miracle that a cinematic adaptation of Cloud Atlas even exists. David Mitchell’s award-winning novel (which was a surprise success with readers given its ambition and oft-impenetrable nature) is a sprawling combination of characters, styles, and themes, stacked together like matryoshka dolls. The story jumps from dystopian sci-fi to wa...
Upon release, the Wachowskis' movie adaptation of the popular manga/anime series Speed Racerwas deemed a critical and commercial flop (it only grossed $93 million worldwide on a $120 million budget). The general consensus among critics was that it was too overladen with sound and fury without the heart to match, but time has been far kinder to the ...
Before they became sci-fi filmmakers, the Wachowski sisters made their directorial debut with a sleek and immensely sexy film-noir inspired by the likes of Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain. Jennifer Tilly plays a gangster's moll who enters an affair with an ex-con played by Gina Gershon and joins up with her to fleece her boyfriend out of $2 mill...
Over two decades later, the magic of The Matrix is still as compelling as ever. No matter how bad the sequels got or how many times it was ripped off by inferior efforts, that first movie has retained all of its power. Even if you put aside the influence of the film, as an independent entity, The Matrix is startling in its scale, mood, and energy. ...

- The Matrix. There still could only be one film that takes the top spot on this ranking and it was always going to be The Matrix. It is a film that still remains as refreshing and audacious as when it first came out.
- Cloud Atlas. An adaptation of the novel of the same name by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas is another work from the directors that deserved more attention than it got.
- Speed Racer. A film that was woefully misunderstood and critically undervalued when it was first released, Speed Racer is a remarkable adaptation that came out long before anyone was prepared for it.
- The Matrix Reloaded. The second entry in the series, The Matrix Reloaded had the tough task of carrying on after the first film left audiences' jaws on the floor.

- Bound (1996) - 86% The popular legend of this movie is that this was their guarantor for them to prove that they could direct in order to make The Matrix.
- The Matrix (1999) - 83% The most culturally important movie since Star Wars in 1977. This caused a seismic shift in the landscape of cinema forever, in that every movie after this is trying its hardest to either copy it or avoid copying it all together.
- The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - 74% The Wachowskis' follow-up to their masterpiece that had more hype around it than The Force Awakens. This movie could never live up to the cultural phenomenon that was The Matrix, but they sure tried their hardest.
- Cloud Atlas (2012) - 66% Arguably the Wachowskis' most sincere movie, Cloud Atlas skillfully weaves in and out of six different stories in a way that is incredibly engaging over the course of three hours.
An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. Director Tom Tykwer Lana Wachowski Lilly Wachowski Stars Tom Hanks Halle Berry Hugh Grant.
In 1994, the Wachowskis presented the script for the film Assassins to Warner Bros. Pictures. After Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the president of production of the company at the time, read the script, he decided to buy rights to it and included two more pictures, Bound and The Matrix, in the contract.
