Does it make you feel old to know Mrs. Doubtfire is three decades old? What about Jurassic Park? Free Willy?

From Frances McDormand in Fargo to Moonlight's big win, across 95 years, it had to happen a few times.

When you think of Jack Lemmon, you're probably not thinking of Save the Tiger.

Don't let Oscar be the last word in great filmmaking.

Before Creed III, step into the ring with Rocky, Raging Bull, and 18 more classic pugilistic dramas.

Out of Africa has two Oscar winners in its cast; Green Lantern has three.

She-Ra, He-Man, and Carmen Sandiego (among others) are all back in action for the next generation.

Your great-grandma watched dirty movies, and was better for it.

Adam Driver fights dinosaurs in 65; Harrison Ford dials destiny in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Equus, sure, that makes sense. But why can't I watch True Lies or The Abyss?

From The Pianist to The Road, consider this your SAD watchlist.

Salò, Possession,and other movies your parents (and also Norway) don't want you to watch.

Why settle for Ant-Man 3 when you can watch Puppet Master 15?

Shrek may have an Oscar, but Puss in Boots is the real hero.

From The Addams Family, to The Golden Girls, to Farscape, these shows aren't shy about getting down to business.

Werewolves Within, Arcane, Castlevania...Sorry, Roger Ebert, video games are highbrow entertainment now.

From Battlestar Galactica to Neon Genesis Evangelion, what if the end of the world arrived and no shambling undead…

From Singin' in the Rain to Babylon: The greatest films about filmmaking. Cinema about cinema. Flicks about…

From Birth of a Nation to Salò,the only better pairing with a movie than popcorn is a good scandal.

Maybe movie theaters should offer a dump-month discount?
