    • Skyfall (2012) Skyfall is the ultimate James Bond movie, one of the best action movies of the 21st Century, and one of the standout franchise films of recent memory that actually wrestles with the notion of legacy.
    • 1917 (2019) Inspired by his grandfather’s stories of heroism during World War I, 1917 is one of the most immersive war movies ever made. The “all in one shot” cinematography technique (another technical marvel from the great Roger Deakins) could have easily been a cheap gimmick, but Mendes uses the consistent momentum to keep the story centered on his characters and the beat-by-beat minutia of how they make decisions and persevere.
    • American Beauty (2000) It goes without saying that there’s a difficulty in rewatching and reassessing American Beauty given the revelations about Kevin Spacey, and a film that so heavily centers around his pursuit of an underage character is uncomfortable to watch as a result.
    • Road to Perdition (2002) Mendes is a filmmaker who is very specific in his depiction of cultural groups, and with his graphic novel adaptation Road to Perdition he challenged the standard notion of what a “mob movie” could be by telling an emotional story of distant fathers and sons.
