Consisting of 65,000 individual frames taken from oil paintings and animated using a “rotoscoping” technique, LOVING VINCENT is not only a visual tribute to one of the world’s greatest artists, it is also a marvel of filmmaking. This Oscar-nominated film tells the story of Van Gogh’s life via a journey taken by Armand, the son of postman Joseph Roulin (made famous by one of Van Gogh’s most popular portraits), to deliver the final letter of Vincent’s to his beloved brother Theo Van Gogh in Paris. During the course of the film, Armand ends up traveling to many of the locales that found their way into Van Gogh’s unforgettable landscapes and encounters numerous characters that Van Gogh painted portraits of.
There’s never been a biopic quite like this! Through the character of Armand, we become immersed in the places, people, and things that impacted Vincent Van Gogh and inspired him to create timeless paintings that continue to resonate with viewers over a century after his unfortunate death by suicide. The production was made possible by the tireless work of scores of skilled painters from more than 20 countries around the world, as well as skilled animators and filmmakers who devoted 6 years to complete the project. There aren’t many artists who would warrant such an endeavor, but Vincent Van Gogh is certainly a worthy recipient of such treatment.

Mike Nichols, who was involved in the original 1983 Broadway adaptation, directs this hilarious cinematic adaptation of La Cage aux Folles, the 1973 French play by Jean Poiret. Featuring a supporting cast that includes Gene Hackman, Dianne West, and Hank Azaria, The Birdcage is a fun and flamboyant comedy about what happens when one’s true identity is forced into hiding, and its critical acclaim made it a landmark film with respect to LGBTQ representation in mass media.
Otto Maddox (Emilio Estevez) is a young punk in L.A. who loses his job, his girl, and his desire to put up with his hippie-ish parents. Wandering the streets one night, Otto is approached by Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) and offered a small sum of money to drive a car out of the neighborhood. This leads to Otto getting swept up in a chain of events that involves him begrudgingly becoming a “repo man” and chasing after the $20K bounty on a Chevy Malibu whose trunk may contain something more otherworldly than a spare tire.
Natasha Lyonne stars alongside Clea DuVall, Ru Paul, and Cathy Moriarty in this charming and satirical teen cult film directed by Jamie Babbit.
Released in 1990, GHOST was not only the highest-grossing film of that year, but it was also nominated for five Academy Awards (two of which it won – Best Supporting Actress for Whoopi Goldberg and Best Screenplay for Bruce Joel Rubin). Beyond that, the film’s legacy remains strong decades later due to iconic moments like the “pottery wheel love scene”, its enchanting soundtrack, its original use of special effects, and its performances from an amazing cast. GHOST is a truly unique love story that will continue to haunt you for all the years to come!
