The Nun’s Story: A Film by Fred Zinnemann (1959)

The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …

The Shop on Main Street
The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …

1983’s Silkwood is a powerful story. It’s also a true story which makes it tremendously poignant and meaningful. It’s also a story with an uncertain ending, even to this day.

Get Christie Love! movie
In 1974, viewers were presented with the very unique movie, Get Christie Love! The main character, a police lieutenant named Christie Love, was played by Teresa Graves, who might actually be remembered for her comedy input as a regular on Laugh-In.

The Blob movie

In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.
Aside from the Pursuit …
The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …
