Big Hero 6

Briskly-paced, action-packed, and often touching. Big Hero 6's powerful storyline is an incredible motivator for kids and adults to go into computer science.

The Babadook

A descent into madness for both the characters and the audience. The Babadook had me questioning my own sanity. Can't recall any other horror quite as effective.

There's layer upon layer of ridiculously smart, innovative wit at work here, from a talent who's worryingly mature and self-aware for his age.

Pootie Tang

Pootie Tang works, in part, because it doesn't. Which is to say the movie's special success is inextricable from the moments where it blatantly fails. A modern cult classic.
