Recommended The Movie: I remember enjoying director John Boorman's unusual, Amazon-set action drama The Emerald Forest on VHS shortly after the film's original 1985 release.

Highly Recommended Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the DVD portion of The Wind Rises . The Movie: Or, Jir Dreams of Flying : The Wind Rises feels especially elegiac as it will likely be the last film written and directed by animation legend Hayao Miyazaki (who announced his retirement shortly before its release)

Recommended Please Note: The screen shots accompanying this review come from the DVD portion of Cinerama's Search for Paradise. The Movie: The kitschy travelogue Search for Paradise whisks viewers off on a distant journey involving dangerous rocky mountain pathways, turbulent river rapids, a spectacular royal coronation, and, uh, lots of military aircraft. This 1957 release was the fourth film …
Recommended Like most folks born during the last several decades, I grew up watching syndicated Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies whenever possible. These bite-sized cartoons set the bar extremely high for American animation during the 20th century, rivaled only by other long-running classics like Popeye the Sailor Read the entire review
