Dirty Harry
Dirty Harry has one of the most quoted lines in movie history, but the real hook is uglier and more interesting: it’s a thriller that asks you to cheer while the hero breaks the rules. We recommend Don Siegel’s 1971 San Francisco crime film and...

Deep Impact
A comet is coming, the clock is brutal, and somehow Deep Impact still finds a way to be tender. We dig into why this ’98 disaster film sticks: not the most explosions per minute, but the most honesty per moment. From Morgan Freeman’s calm Presi...
