Santa Claus: The Movie
One would expect a holiday epic with a title like Santa Claus: The Movie. It implies something definitive, which would therefore put it in the canon of Christmas classics. However, this is definitely not the case.
Zombie Prom
An instant classic of unabashed nostalgia.
District B13
There’s something refreshing about an action film that actually gives a damn about more than explosions.
Vikings: Journey to the New Worlds
A big and friendly documentary that educates and entertains.
Going Back
Filled with solid performances, gorgeous cinematography and realistic dialogue, it captures the same sad feeling of nostalgia watching it that the film’s characters experience.
Kundun
There’s no denying the artistry of Kundun. Its heart also appears to be in the right place. But for those like me who don’t have a versed history in the modern history of Tibet or Buddhism, the scope is ultimately too big.

Freedom State
A playful film that calls on its audience to believe in the empowering virtues of imagination and freedom.
