She gets a mysterious floppy disk labeled “Mozart’s Ghost” with a backdoor t...

Tha...

Aug 16, 2013 · Although presumably meant to be a modern-day version of the classic conspiracy thriller “The Conversation,” “Paranoia” is so vapid that it plays like “Antitrust” sans the food allergies.

- 'The Conversation' (1974) To make a masterpiece is enough of a high feat; but to make two and release them the same year is an accomplishment that only a handful of directors have achieved.
- 'The Thing' (1982) The Thing has seen three very different versions, but it shouldn't be controversial to say that, despite its initial poor reception, John Carpenter's version is far and away the best.
- 'Memento' (2000) Christopher Nolan is one of a few filmmakers who can brag about having a masterpiece as a sophomore film. Memento, a story in reverse chronological order about an amnesiac tracking down his wife's killer, is still recognized as one of his best works even over two decades later.
- 'Marathon Man' (1976) Having two of your time's most legendary actors together on screen is never a common occurrence, but that's what happened when Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier starred together in John Schlesinger's Marathon Man, about a student who finds himself inexplicably chased by mysterious government agents.
- Perfect Blue (1997) This is a movie that I only first saw in the last couple of years, but it just had such a massive impact on “Watcher” and me. It’s definitely one of my favorite stalker thrillers.
- Klute (1971) Jane Fonda is a big reason that movie is one of my personal favorites. Her performance in that is just so incredible. It’s like a style of acting you don’t see very much anymore.
- The Gift (2015) Maybe it’s changing now a little bit, but certainly when “The Gift” came out there weren’t that many adult psychological thrillers out there.
- The Invisible Man (2020) There’s a clarity and simplicity of concept that works so well. Sometimes with these old Universal Monsters properties, you think, “How do you make people care about them?
