RIP Dharmendra, an unparalleled titan of Indian cinema, from his iconic early roles to his fostering of the Deol dynasty. if you're unfamiliar with classic Bollywood and need a solid intro, there are endless "Dharminder" choices: Anupama, Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Seeta Aur Geeta ...

Ron Perlman - 📽️ The Name of the Rose (Jean-Jacques Annaud, 1986) The studious and precise Perlman had impressive, convincing commitment to the hunchback speaking mixed-language sentences of six languages at once. It guaranteed him a long genre career as frightening misfits and loners with a heart.

Lara Flynn Boyle - 📽️ Red Rock West (John Dahl, 1994) Dahl’s neo-noir is one of the most memorable of the ‘90s for its western setting and its headliners—Boyle, plus fellow David Lynch alums Nicolas Cage and Dennis Hopper. The eternally underrated actress makes a terrific unpredictable femme fatale.

Mercedes Ruehl - 📽️ Married to the Mob (Jonathan Demme, 1988) Demme ensembles were often toweringly great, and Ruehl shone as the jealous wife of mob boss Tony “The Tiger” Russo (an Oscar-nominated Dean Stockwell). In her unhinged rampage after Michelle Pfeiffer, she channels some hysterical demon.

Kayvan Novak - 📽️ Four Lions (Chris Morris, 2010) Novak is a relentless source of laughs in one of the best 21st Century comedies as Waj, clueless but conflicted cousin to Riz Ahmed’s Omar. They play attempted homegrown terrorist Jihadis, and Novak anchors the twisted emotional climax with Ahmed.

Stephen McHattie- 📽️ A History of Violence (David Cronenberg, 2005) “I said… COFFEE!” The versatile Canadian actor relished a brief but vital tone-setting role as the diner robber in Cronenberg’s terrific thriller. His snarling showdown with Viggo Mortensen is a tense highlight, hooking you early.

Delphine Seyrig - 📽️ India Song (Marguerite Duras, 1975) This is another film where breathtaking framing and blocking are the chief appeal, but its star makes it a winning character study too. Seyrig does a lot of quiet processing in the post-colonial tale of an ambassador’s bored wife in Calcutta.

Isla Fisher - 📽️ Definitely, Maybe (Adam Brooks, 2008) Every studio romcom with a stacked ensemble is bound to have at least one knockout performance bringing their A-game. Armed with Hollywood’s best fake American accent, Fisher charms every second as the lovable and darkly funny April. #filmsky

Mark Strong - 📽️ Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Tomas Alfredson, 2011) This movie is so damn good that it’s hard to pick standouts from the supporting cast, but my mind always drifts to Strong—who everyone rushes to cast after this. He opens the movie, haunts its margins, and serves as its conscience.

Lisa Bonet - 📽️ Angel Heart (Alan Parker, 1987) This casting was the subject of much debate and controversy at the time. Revisited today, it’s clearly one of the great debuts in a major film. Bonet learned the voodoo and stood out in a film with Mickey Rourke, Charlotte Rampling, and Robert De Niro.

Ian McKellen - 📽️ The Keep (Michael Mann, 1983) Mann’s gonzo horror-fantasy epic was a maligned failure that has since amassed a cult following. The early McKellen role is one of the highlights; he’s the historian entangled in doing the bidding of the demon Molasar. Nobody sells hot nonsense better.

Angela Bettis - 📽️ May (Lucky McKee, 2003) Another case of “the less I tell you about this movie’s plot, the better”, but a lot of cult movie fans already know. Bettis holds her own as the star opposite Anna Faris, Jeremy Sisto, and James Duval as our unforgettably unhinged (yet sweet) protagonist.

Tom Hollander - 📽️ Pride & Prejudice (Joe Wright, 2005) Equaling or eclipsing David Bamber (in the miniseries) as the definitive portrayal of the famously dull and status-obsessed Mr Collins, Hollander became booked forevermore. He finds a way to make him creepy and annoying, but still sympathetic.

Colleen Camp - 📽️ They All Laughed (Peter Bogdanovich, 1981) Camp is so charming in this stacked ensemble romantic comedy, Bogdanovich’s favourite of his own films. Her showcase parts are always spunky, sexy, funny, and more memorable than the written role. Her acting while singing here is divine.

Dianne Wiest - 📽️ Rabbit Hole (John Cameron Mitchell, 2010) It’s hard to imagine a stronger ringer than Wiest, the only living person to win Best Supporting Actress twice. Mitchell deploys her as one of Nicole Kidman’s best-ever scene partners, with a monologue on grief that’s the film’s best scene.

George Gaynes - 📽️ Police Academy (Hugh Wilson, 1984) This movie is so stupid. A lot of the time, it barely even has real jokes. So it’s a lot more watchable than it should be with the help of cast standouts like G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, and Gaynes—who channels Leslie Nielsen.

Tatsuya Nakadai - 📽️ The Sword of Doom (Kihachi Okamoto, 1966) In one of his best performances, the Japanese legend plays a swordsman protagonist who is nastier and more bloodthirsty than you’ll ever see in classic Samurai films. RIP to one of the most versatile, mesmerizing actors of the century.

Farewell to one of brightest stars of the golden age of Japanese cinema: Nakadai Tatsuya, who starred in some of history's greatest films, has passed away at the age of 92. Major roles included those in Ran, Hara Kiri, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Kagemusha, The Human Condition, and many more.

Oscar-nominated actor Sally Kirkland, known for "Anna" and "The Sting," has died at age 84.

Stephen Geoffreys - 📽️ Fright Night (Tom Holland, 1985) If you know, you know. Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall get earned plaudits for this film, but don’t forget Geoffreys as the strangest and grossest of all, complete with an unforgettable ending. He grants the film energetic, funny personality.

Riley Keough - 📽️ It Comes at Night (Trey Edward Shults, 2017) As a horror-mystery, Shults’ movie was wildly divisive. But most people would agree the cast is one of its top strengths. The always immersed Keough is best in show, and her tense talk with Kelvin Harrison Jr. is the film’s high point.

Andrea Riseborough - 📽️ Possessor (Brandon Cronenberg, 2020) This is a gross and unique take on possession horror, and a lot of it rests on Riseborough’s blank, bizarre, detached character. It’s probably her best work, winning a film that has Christopher Abbott, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Sean Bean.

Adrian Grenier - 📽️ Trash Fire (Richard Bates Jr., 2016) The less revealed about this haunting horror-dramedy, the better. But Grenier does the depressed, pained, best work of his career here sparring with greats like Sally Kirkland and Fionnula Flanagan. Buried family secrets ensue and explode.

Chi McBride - 📽️ The Frighteners (Peter Jackson, 1996) Everyone brings their A-game in Jackson’s horror-comedy, but McBride’s permanently ‘70s-styled, shouting ghost is a real treat. He exists for jokes but has an emotional arc too, and lovely banter throughout with Michael J. Fox and Jim Fyfe.

Rest in peace, Lee Tamahori.

Mark Strong - 📽️ Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Tomas Alfredson, 2011) This movie is so damn good that it’s hard to pick standouts from the supporting cast, but my mind always drifts to Strong—who everyone rushes to cast after this. He opens the movie, haunts its margins, and serves as its conscience.

R.I.P. Pauline Collins, 1940-2025.

Diane Ladd, Oscar-nominated actor of Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, dies aged 89

Toujours formidable ❤️

Angela Bettis - 📽️ May (Lucky McKee, 2003) Another case of “the less I tell you about this movie’s plot, the better”, but a lot of cult movie fans already know. Bettis holds her own as the star opposite Anna Faris, Jeremy Sisto, and James Duval as our unforgettably unhinged (yet sweet) protagonist.

the Toronto Blue Jays are America’s team

Robert Redford - 📽️ A Bridge Too Far (Richard Attenborough, 1977) This entrance must be seen to be believed. Redford was always at home bouncing off the world’s other greatest actors, and few casts were ever this stacked. Somehow even a man this striking knew how to blend in and still stand out. RIP

Don Harvey - 📽️ Casualties of War (Brian De Palma, 1989) Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn go so big in this movie that the supporting cast’s naturalism saves the tone of the harrowing true story. Harvey is haunting as the most monstrous and animalistic of the soldiers. He deserves a comeback film role.

“It’s clear that most have seen the movie before, yet when a big moment arrives, phones go up to capture it for social media as cheers erupt with a joy that feels brand new.” Happy 30th to Bollywood juggernaut, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, aka DDLJ 📽️ #DesiWatch

Ian McKellen - 📽️ The Keep (Michael Mann, 1983) Mann’s gonzo horror-fantasy epic was a maligned failure that has since amassed a cult following. The early McKellen role is one of the highlights; he’s the historian entangled in doing the bidding of the demon Molasar. Nobody sells hot nonsense better.

Lisa Bonet - 📽️ Angel Heart (Alan Parker, 1987) This casting was the subject of much debate and controversy at the time. Revisited today, it’s clearly one of the great debuts in a major film.

Samantha Eggar is one of my favorite actresses, and she elevated everything she was in, and she was in a lot more than you probably know. Rest easy, angel.

Diane Keaton - 📽️ Mrs. Soffel (Gillian Armstrong, 1984) Every Keaton performance is too undeniable to call forgotten, but this is definitely one more young film fans should see. It’s a complex moral balance of tone work from a great director, and rests on her expressive face. RIP to one of the best.

Vincent Gardenia - 📽️ Little Murders (Alan Arkin, 1971) Arkin’s dark comic masterwork is stuffed with bananas monologues from the likes of Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland, and Arkin himself. Gardenia is funniest of all, reprising his stage role as Gould’s opinionated father-in-law with batty mania.

Naomi Ackie - 📽️ Lady Macbeth (William Oldroyd, 2017) Oldroyd’s period drama with tinges of thriller also launched Florence Pugh and Cosmo Jarvis. The expressive Ackie plays a housemaid who gets caught up in a struggle of violent and murderous betrayals. She’s the rare young onscreen equal to Pugh.

Xander Berkeley - 📽️ Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995) Happy 30th to Safe, Haynes’ masterful psychological drama about environmental illness. Opposite Julianne Moore’s totemic and legendary lead performance, the brilliant Berkeley is her baffled, distant husband. Their intimate scene is unforgettably real.

Rest in Peace, Drew Struzan

Andy Devine - 📽️ Stagecoach (John Ford, 1939) The legendary raspy-voiced western character actor got a rare co-starring showcase early in his career, courtesy of Stagecoach favouring an ensemble group protagonist approach. Stage driver Buck opens the film and serves as one of its affable hearts.

Brendan Gleeson - 📽️ Song of the Sea (Tomm Moore, 2014) Cartoon Saloon movies are visual feasts, but one voice who brought the waterworks was Gleeson in his second Moore film. In two roles as Conor and Mac Lir (plus the Irish dub), his gruff grunts and mumbles convey a devastating, loving grief arc.

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...
