Reggie (Audrey Hepburn) has unknowingly lived off the profits from a burglary committed by her husband. When he is suddenly murdered, she realizes she doesn’t really know anything about him – or, for that matter, the new man in her life, Peter Joshua (Cary Grant). Worse yet, the rest of the money is missing, and a lot of horrible people think Reggie knows where it is. As more and more people are drawn into the coin’s orbit, it’s less clear who, if anything, Reggie can be trusted.

Hepburn and Grant, two famous and charming stars, are at their most charming and talented in Charade. In the span of a single scene, Hepburn can go from pragmatic to seductive to terrifying with relative ease. Grant’s initial discomfort with their age gap – 25 years old, a deep hole still not uncommon in Hollywood – led to a script rewrite to make it clear that Reggie was after him; it’s still one of the few movies where the flaw is reliably acknowledged and dealt with, rather than belittled. Their chemistry is immediate and undeniable; It’s key to the film’s engaging dialogue and blend of flirtatious comedy, gripping mystery, and authentic thriller. Its His Girl Friday Hitchcock’s way. –Jenna Stoeber

Michael Mann’s 1995 crime thriller stars Al Pacino as Vincent Hanna, an eccentric and super-powered police detective caught in a tense cat-and-mouse wits, and Robert De Niro as Neil McCauley, a career criminal. It’s a movie that includes moments and settings that could cover the entire end of the third act in a smaller movie. Here, they exist in a triumphant set of carefully nested components; working in harmony with the precision of a Swiss watch.

Pacino and De Niro deliver their two best performances as a pair of obsessive workaholics, whose ability to master the razor in their trades comes at the expense of everything. they love or cherish. Dante Spinotti’s cinematography transforms the vast Los Angeles cityscape into a shimmering strip of light that pervades the surface of an ink-black sea, a refuge of moral inequality from which no no soul appears completely pure or unscathed. –Toussaint Egan

Few creative teams have ever managed the same level of excellence as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao did with their Hong Kong martial arts action comedies in the 1980s, and The wheel on the meal It’s one of the best of the bunch of extremely good movies (and my personal favorite). Set and filmed in Barcelona, ​​the film revolves around Thomas (Chan) and David (Yuen), a pair of cousins ​​who run a food truck (with skateboarding tricks to boot) and find themselves hooked. a local woman (Lola Forner). When they encounter an incompetent private detective (Sammo Hung) who is also searching for the woman, the group band together to save her when she is suddenly kidnapped.

The wheel on the meal features some of the best fight scenes in Chan’s prolific cinematography, as he battles legendary kickboxer Benny Urquidez (the two will later rematch in Dragon stories forever), who at the time was one of the most prominent and successful fighters in the world. The whole movie is worth your time, but if you want to just find their six-minute fight session on YouTube, there’s very little better in the world.
