District 9 (2009)
Read more: District 9 (2009)As action flicks go, District 9 excels beyond measure, but leave it to a genre film with B-movie splatter gore sensibility to create an immersive experience that generates more human pathos than a hundred overcooked dramas about the holocaust or racism.

White Heat (1949)
Read more: White Heat (1949)Goodfellas’ Joe Pesci won an Oscar for his Spider-squashing portrayal of a nutso mobster but when it comes to wiping people out he pales next to his forerunner, the similarly dwarfish Cagney. Good grief, the insane Cagney is a one-man army of death.

Witness For the Prosecution
Read more: Witness For the ProsecutionWitness for the Prosecution is a Billy Wilder classic based on the novel by Agatha Christie.

Naughty Postcards from a Hungarian Trashmeister
Read more: Naughty Postcards from a Hungarian TrashmeisterSordid glory. Would you call that the defining trait of writer Joe Eszterhas’ distinctive body of work?

Starring Debuts #25: Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future (1985)
Read more: Starring Debuts #25: Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future (1985)Fox was a lightweight actor, his limitations exposed whenever he took on stuff with any gravity, such as a rape-objecting grunt in Casualties of War or a cokehead loser in Bright Lights, Big City.

Starring Debuts # 24: Sissy Spacek in Badlands (1973)
Read more: Starring Debuts # 24: Sissy Spacek in Badlands (1973)Some people need a good, hard slap to wake them the fuck up and there would be no more deserving recipient than Holly Sargis (Spacek). She’s vapid, easily led and amoral, a freckled, baton-twirling fifteen-year-old girl who barely mutters a word of protest during the murder of her father. “Are you gonna be OK?” she…
