But Billy’s Walter Mitty–esque fantasies are not as innocent as they seem.

Brooks is especially good here as “stand-up philosopher” Comicus, grand inquisitor/song-and-dance guy Torquemada (“Let’s face it, you can’t Torquemada anything”) and both King Louis XVI and his doppelganger, the lowly Jacques.

IDOLS BEHIND ALTARS
Famed Russian revolutionary film director Sergei Eisenstein traveled to Mexico in December 1930 to experience firsthand its “geographical, ethnological, cultural and historical diversity” and to make the feature film known to the world as ¡QUE VIVA MÉXICO!

PROJECTO GLOBAL
Though the Carnation Revolution of 1974 toppled Portugal’s 40-year-old dictatorship and ushered in a wave of democracy, the following years were filled with growing pains.

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
Recently engaged Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) stumble upon a castle in the middle of the night that is definitely not a hunting lodge for “rich weirdos.” A jump to the left and a step to the right later, they find themselves as guests of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), who does his best to make them “shiver with anticipation” at what he has in store for everyone at the Annual Transylvanian Convention. A satirical, musical tribute to classic science fiction and horror B-movies, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has become a beacon, a touchstone and, for... read more

SHREK
From competing for the Palme d’Or at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival to winning the inaugural Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature and launching the second highest–grossing animated film franchise of all time in the process, everything about SHREK seems as unlikely to break the mold as the film’s green-skinned ogre of a protagonist. After finding his swamp overrun with exiled fairy tale characters relocated by the scheming Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), Shrek (Mike Myers) sets out on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) in exchange for a return to his peaceful life. Aided along the way by... read more

THE SWORD OF DOOM in 35mm
[DAI-BOSATSU TÔGE] [大菩薩峠] “The sword is the soul. Study the soul to know the sword. Evil mind, evil sword.” Edgy, intense and unhinged, Tatsuya Nakadai gives one of his greatest performances in this cult classic samurai spectacular. Nakadai plays Ryunosuke Tsukue, a master swordsman during Japan’s Edo period, possessed of great skill but strangely soulless and lacking a moral compass. In exile after his affair with a colleague’s wife leads to a fatal duel, the rōnin Ryunosuke falls in with a murderous militia of the Tokugawa shogunate.

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA
Visionary director Jane Schoenbrun (I SAW THE TV GLOW) presents a new kind of horror film. Bursting with imagination and surreal wit, their latest genre-bending wonder affirms there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure.

UP
Even if UP ended after its nearly wordless opening sequence, the film would still be considered a masterpiece; thankfully for us all, the rest of the film builds on that tear-jerking setup to tell a poignant story about grief, aging and friendship. Seventy-eight-year-old Carl (a superb Ed Asner), a curmudgeonly retired balloon salesman, is planning a long-dreamed of trip to South America as a promise to his deceased wife. To do so, he ties thousands of balloons to his house, which then soars into the big, blue sky — along with Russell (Jordan Nagai), a young scout who becomes an... read more

VERTICES
In this delicate story by Salvadoran filmmaker Arturo López Rodas, three old friends — Ricardo, José and Paco — reunite for a funeral after several decades apart. As they reminisce about their pasts through a long conversation mingled with jokes and drinks, they reflect on their friendship and the larger ideas of masculinity, life and death. Unfolding via understated cinematography that artfully mixes stark black-and-white with lush color photography and naturalistic dialogue, VERTICES captures the vitality of connection, the slow passage of time and the importance of companionship. —Bridget Sweeney DIR/SCR Arturo López Rodas; PROD Joselyn Quinteros, Walter Rodríguez.

When EVE, a sleek white robot, lands on Earth to scan for signs of plant life, WALL-E falls in love and joins her on a mission across the universe. As much a cautionary tale about human greed as it is a love letter to cinema — wrapped in the garb of a... read more

WHAT PRICE GLORY (1926)
Two American Marines (Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe) battle over women around the world, starting with good-time girl “Shanghai Mabel” (Phyllis Haver). When they reach France during World War I, their boisterous competition is redirected toward a French innkeeper’s fiery daughter, Charmaine (Dolores Del Río). Their coarse rivalry gives way to the horrors of war with an extended battle sequence that balances male camaraderie against the human toll of battle. WHAT PRICE GLORY is perhaps the most foul-mouthed silent film in history — a delight for lip-readers — with the two Marines’ salty language amusingly paraphrased in polite intertitles.
