Allotment Wives (1945)

Based on a true story, this sports movie is centered around a college football player.

Ranking The Purge films gives us one forgettable film, two mid-tier movies, and two horror masterpieces. This list can help you decide which films to watch first!

Upon first watch, Buddy feels like it should have been aired on Adult Swim at four in the morning.

For a troubled teen, Will discovers what is important in life when he attends a summer camp: the people who care about his well being.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

Unfortunately, People We Meet on Vacation didn’t hold up quite as well as I’d hoped.
