    Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

    Spirited Away may have made anime icon Hayao Miyazaki a household name internationally, but he made his first truly great film 17 years earlier with 1984’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Influenced by the European and American fantasy epic writers he so admired like J.R.R. Tolkien and Ursula K. Le Guin, Miyazaki formed a world millennia past environmental collapse, where humans are dwarfed by giant insects and living in harmony with nature has become a perilous endeavor. Spectacle and heart meld in this true landmark of Japanese cinema. If you only ever saw the horrifically dubbed and butchered Warriors of the Wind cut as a kid, here’s a chance to walk among its rippling fields of gold the way Miyazaki meant. – Richard Whittaker

    We <3 Keanu: Bram Stoker’s Dracula/The Bad Batch

    Yes, we all love Keanu. The astonishing juxtaposition of raw charm, talent, approachability, warmth, and playing a guy who kills endless Eurotrash gangsters because they killed his dog (totally justified). So test that love with two of his … well, most challenging performances. Francis Ford Coppola crafted one of the most sumptuous and gorgeous Gothic horrors in cinema history, but oh no: Keanu’s accent. As for The Bad Batch, well, let’s just say co-star Jim Carrey had the right idea by being completely unrecognizable under pounds of prosthetics. But we still love Keanu, OK? – Richard Whittaker
