Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis one tickles the funny bone and<\/em> is a treat for cinephiles. The Coen Brothers are known for their wry humor, and their 2000 comedy \u201cO Brother, Where Art Thou?\u201d combines that hilarious sensibility with a Grammy-winning soundtrack to tremendously entertaining results. Loosely based on Homer\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d the film takes place in 1937 rural Mississippi and follows three fugitives played by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson as they traverse the American South on an epic journey. The soundtrack won the Grammy award for Album of the Year, and Roger Deakins\u2019 cinematography pioneered a process called \u201cbleach bypass\u201d that results in a unique, washed-out aesthetic.<\/p>\nYoung Frankenstein<\/h2>\n20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you love comedy and classic film, you can\u2019t go wrong with \u201cYoung Frankenstein.\u201d This 1974 comedy is a love letter to classic monster movies, as filmmaker Mel Brooks transcends parody to craft a hilarious ode that works surprisingly well as a unique twist on Mary Shelley\u2019s \u201cFrankenstein.\u201d Gene Wilder is brilliant as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a descendant of the infamous mad scientist who is lured to his family\u2019s estate in Transylvania where he ends up following in his grandfather\u2019s footsteps. This comedy is full of iconic moments and boasts career-defining work from Cloris Leachman and Teri Garr.<\/p>\n
The Sixth Sense<\/h2>\nDisney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere\u2019s your horror pick for the month. Even beyond the twist that no one saw coming in 1999, \u201cThe Sixth Sense\u201d remains one of M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s best films. Haley Joel Osment plays a young boy who can see and talk to ghosts. He begins a relationship with a child psychologist, played by Bruce Willis, who is dispatched to help him cope with his supposed abilities. Part horror film, part ghost story and all family drama, \u201cThe Sixth Sense\u201d is a humdinger of a film that firmly established Shyamalan as a filmmaker to watch.<\/p>\n
Fargo<\/h2>\nGramercy Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne of the best movies ever made, \u201cFargo\u201d holds up tremendously well. The 1996 Oscar winner is written and directed by The Coen Brothers and stars Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief in Minnesota who\u2019s investigation into a dead body threatens to unravel a conspiracy and kidnapping. Supporting turns by William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare are all-timers, and the score by Carter Burwell is one of the best ever.<\/p>\n
Cast Away<\/h2>\nTom Hanks in \u2018Cast Away\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis 2000 survival drama is best known for Tom Hanks talking to his volleyball \u201cWilson,\u201d but \u201cCast Away\u201d holds up as a pretty astounding piece of filmmaking and a showcase for one of the best actors alive. Hanks stars as a FedEx troubleshooter who is stranded on an island after a plane crash, and the story follows his struggles to adapt, survive and brainstorm a way off the island. The production was unique in that filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (who also directed gems like \u201cBack to the Future\u201d and \u201cWho Framed Roger Rabbit\u201d) split the production in half \u2013 they shot the first half of the movie with Hanks at a chubbier weight, then took a year off for Hanks to lose a substantial amount of weight to reflect a time jump in the film. The result is one of the best survival movies ever made.<\/p>\n
