Last fall, Steve and John welcomed David Cornue and Milena Govich back to the show to honor the great Stephen Sondheim and re-release their original conversation bout West Side Story.

Obviously, this[...]

Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley was probably the most surprising Best Picture Nomination for John and Steve.

Steven Spielberg's remake of one of the greatest musicals of all time didn't do well at the Box Office or at the Oscars, however, that doesn't stop both John and Steve from believing that this was, without question, the best film of the year.

Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog was very much the front runner for best picture this year and while it didn't win, the powerful choices, technical mastery and haunting story of this incredible film are undeniable.

This really has been an incredible year for films but there is one movie nominated for best picture that neither John or Steve likes and that is Don't Look Up.

John and Steve reviewed King Richard several days before The Oscars but what happened there doesn't change the fact that Will Smith delivered an absolutely stunning performance as Richard Williams.

William Hurt was a truly iconic actor, with a subtle yet powerful presence, dry delivery and unique style.

What film symbolizes the cinema of the 1970's for you? Is it the operatic majesty of the Godfather films? The descent into madness of Taxi Driver? Maybe it's the brilliant dialogue of Network or the sheer terror of Jaws. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of those movies. The fact is the 1970's[...]

One can argue that there is no more influential period in cinema than the French New Wave. Without it there is no cinematic revolution in the seventies. No Scorsese, Bogdanavich or Hal Ashby. Can there be a Reservoir Dogs or Quinten Tarantino without Jean Luc Godard? The odds are, the answer is no. And no[...]

There are many arguments about the funniest team in the history of cinema. There are die hard Laurel and Hardy fans. Some people love Abbot and Costello.

It's hard to pick the strangest idea for a film to come out of Pixar studios; a garbage collecting robot? An old man who takes his house Up with a bunch of balloons? Or maybe it's that trip inside a little girl's brain? However, the story of a rat who dreams of becoming a great[...]

This film is a compelling and haunting exploration into the relationship between one of America's most infamous outlaws and the man who decided to kill him.

Almost since the beginning of The Cine-Files, John and Steve have been planning to tackle this incredible western.

Back in January we asked you which movie from 2011 you wanted us to dig into first in 2021. Your answer, by the slimmest of possible margins, was Moneyball. Moneyball is as unlikely a movie as the A’s were to become a great team and yet it manages to be funny, heartfelt, and very thought[...]

Cine-Files Live has been a fantastic addition to the Cine-Files schedule for many reasons. 1. Steve & John get to talk about films they might not ever get to discuss on the regular show. (Ie.
