It's easy to forget how powerful movies can really be. Their ability to stir up emotions and inspire change is unmatched, which is why movies are so effective as propaganda—or simply as motivating stories. One of the most important messages in all of cinema is the value of justice and the importance of law upheld. There have been so many films about these themes, tackling subjects spanning racism, sexism, discrimination, corruption... the whole nine yards.
The 13 Best Movies About Orphans, Ranked
What is it with movies and orphans? It seems like every other kid protagonist has lost their parents in a car crash or been left on a stranger's doorstep for whatever reason. Well, it all comes back to the simple fact that films are essentially character arcs. The Hero's Journey must be undergone, step by step, from problem to catharsis to reestablished equilibrium. Orphaned characters provide gaps in the protagonist's identity for filmmakers to ponder and fill in.
The 13 Best Femme Fatale Movies, Ranked
You may have heard of femme fatales, but what actually are they? Are they just female villains? And if so, why not just call them that? The femme fatale is a very specific type of female character, one who utilizes her charisma, magnetism, and sexuality to get what she wants. Often harboring a dark or violent side, the femme fatale seduces her way out of trouble and often persuades lovers to do her bidding.
The 14 Best Natural Disaster Movies That Are Actually Great
Natural disaster movies have a reputation for being... well, terrible. Too many of them are all action and zero character, propped up by cheap thrills and expensive actors without much substance.
The 13 Best Movies Set on Trains and Subways, Ranked
The more confined the space, the more the tension can build. That's why movies set on trains feel so different from most movies. Train carriages can double or even triple the suspense of a murder investigation or bomb threat, forcing characters to face each other with no way to escape their conflicts—whether that be from archenemies, hitmen, or siblings they've been avoiding. Not to mention cabin fever...
The 11 Most Depressing Movies You Can Only Watch Once
You know a film has done its job well when it generates a strong emotional response. The wetter your cheeks from tears or the more your sides hurt from laughing, the better the film. Right? But sometimes a film is so emotionally complex, dark, and heavy that you simultaneously understand it to be a great film yet have absolutely no desire to ever watch it again. Indeed, some of the greatest films ever made are so bleak, dreary, and hit so close to home that you wonder why you even watched them.
The 13 Best Movies With Incredible Wardrobe Designs
Sometimes, the one thing that elevates a good movie into a great movie is the wardrobe design. Even if you're more of a film buff than a fashionista, you still know a fantastic outfit when you see one. From 1920s flappers to 1950s haute couture to futuristic-fantastical attire that takes inspiration from across history, there have been all kinds of unique looks that stand out as iconic and memorable.
The 15 Weirdest Movies of the 21st Century Worth Watching
For as long as cinema has been around, all kinds of bizarre films have been made. Sure, viewers in the 1920s didn't have films like The Human Centipede, but they still had their own forms of strangeness to contend with (like the Dada art movement). In cinema, "weird" doesn't mean fantasy or science fiction, although those elements can often come into play. Weird means nonsensical, surreal, trippy, dreamlike, and random.
The 12 Creepiest Scenes and Moments in Anime, Ranked
You'll find lots of creepy scenes and moments in anime, especially in horror anime series, and especially in the anime adaptations of famed horror mangaka Junji Ito's stories. But it's not only in horror anime. In fact, many non-horror anime series have started incorporating creepy scenes and moments in their shows—from body horror to unsettling images—to add dread and terror. When done right, it can escalate the tension we feel as we're drawn towards the climax of a scene.
The 10 Best Movies Inspired by Jack the Ripper, Ranked
Not many people can claim the top spot of anything in the world, but Jack the Ripper can—as the most renowned serial killer in history. And he was only active for four months! Plus, never caught. Indeed, the identity of Jack the Ripper was never discovered. The mystery of his name, motive, and subsequent whereabouts have fascinated the public ever since his last (known) murder in 1888, capping off his spree of mutilating prostitutes in the East End of London.
