- DirectorRobert AldrichStarsBette DavisJoan CrawfordVictor BuonoA former vaudeville child star torments her paraplegic sister, who eclipsed her as a movie star, in their decaying Hollywood mansion while desperately clinging to hopes of a comeback.You’d think the excitement of the image of Bette Davis as Baby Jane would wear off as the movie progresses. But every time it cuts to her, it's incredible. She's incredible. She is terrifying and cruel but at the same time strangely empathic. She’s become this monster because the life she expected to have was cut short and she can't accept it. The TV show "Feud" about the making of the movie is also fantastic. — Danny
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNathan LaneLee EvansVicki LewisTwo stumblebum inheritors are determined to rid their antique house of a mouse who is equally determined to stay where he is.A cinematic masterpiece and a triumph in cinema. I’d say probably the best mouse film ever made. — Michael
- DirectorGregory DarkStarsGlenn JacobsChristina VidalMichael J. PaganA group of delinquents are sent to clean the Blackwell Hotel. Little do they know reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight has holed away in the rotting hotel. When one of the teens is captured, those who remain - a group that includes the cop who put a bullet in Goodnight's head four years ago - band together to survive against the brutal killer.I love the way the camera moves, mapping out the geography of the house, revealing all the horrors our main character can’t see. You don’t see the killings in the film, just the aftermath and its gloriously tense. You’re waiting for the shoe to drop and the build-up is everything. — Danny
- DirectorRob MinkoffStarsMichael J. FoxGeena DavisHugh LaurieWhen the Littles adopt Stuart, the mouse, George is initially unwelcoming to his new brother, the family cat, Snowbell, is even less enthusiastic. Stuart resolves to face these difficulties with as much pluck and courage as he can muster.Speaking of mice, this the first movie I ever watched in theaters. Taught us about brotherhood. “That’s no mouse, that’s my brother." — Michael
- DirectorMichael HanekeStarsSusanne LotharUlrich MüheArno FrischTwo violent young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement.Its relentlessly bleak, cruelly upsetting, and beautifully crafted. It's like a slasher film but if there was only one victim and we just watched Jason Voorhees toy with [his] victim for an hour. The fourth wall is broken in the most eerie way. It makes us complicit. It doesn’t pull its punches, and you’ll feel the urge to smash the television. It’s amazing when movies can produce such a reaction in you. — Danny
- DirectorsRon ClementsBurny MattinsonDave MichenerStarsVincent PriceBarrie InghamVal BettinBasil, the rodent Sherlock Holmes, investigates the kidnapping of a toy maker and uncovers its link to his archenemy, Professor Ratigan.Smart mice, what more could you want? — Michael
- DirectorCraig RobertsStarsSally HawkinsMorfydd ClarkRobert PughAfter Jane falls into a state of despair over her schizophrenia, she encounters new sources of love and life with surprising results.Sally Hawkins is so incredible in this film. After watching this and Paddington back-to-back, I wanted to cast her straight away. I think she is one of the best actors working today. — Danny
- DirectorsClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsIlene WoodsJames MacDonaldEleanor AudleyWhen Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother.The mice in this were pretty cool. — Michael
