If you haven't seen Memento yet, you have to. The same goes for Bad Times at El Royale, Knives Out, and Citizens Kane. We'll review them and more in upcoming articles. Until then, you can catch us in the theaters and get a taste of a classic. And if you've yet to see them, we highly recommend you take a look at our list of recommended movies!

Memento

Christopher Nolan's Memento is a brilliant neo-noir murder mystery. Shot in reverse, the film places viewers in the shoes of the protagonist, Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), who suffers from chronic amnesia. The film's smart suspense makes it well worth the price of admission, and Nolan's brilliant direction is one of the most creative films of his career.

Memento is based on the short story by Nolan's brother, Jonathon, and has grown in richness in Nolan's body of work. The movie's mysterious crime boss, Soze, is a specter that we may never fully understand. The plot revolves around a group of high-end crooks who decide to settle old scores with each other, and the twisting search for their puppet master becomes the center of the movie.

Memento movies like the usual suspects have many aspects in common, but they have differences in approach. Some movies have more overt themes than others, and some are more subtle than others. The Machinist, directed by Brad Anderson, is probably the closest DNA-wise to Memento. It also explores themes of paranoia, guilt, and regret. The central character is an insomniac plagued by violent hallucinations, but the themes are interwoven with a human story.

Bad Times at El Royale

The bleak and rundown El Royale, located on the border of Nevada and California, becomes the seedy arena where seven strangers come to roost on one fateful night. This ragtag crew includes a traveling salesman, soul singer, cleric, two sisters, and the hotel manager Billy Lee. When the mysterious Billy Lee arrives, the tense situation is set in motion. The film features some of Hollywood's finest performances, including those of Robert Redford, Paul Giamatti, and David Apatow.

The film is an interesting blend of genres and styles, with its plotline based on a charismatic cult leader. Similar to Charles Manson, Lee is able to persuade young women to join his cult. News reports also mention the murder of a Hollywood movie star, but Bad Times at the El Royale does a better job of tackling the material. And because its characters have personal stakes, the movie has a surprisingly high level of suspense.

In the trailer for the movie, Goddard explains the inspirations for the film and the quirks that made him make it. He also discusses the process of creating the movie. Goddard also reveals that he never had any idea that the film would become such a hit. After all, he was inspired by the movies of his father. He envisioned a hotel symmetrically in order to create a character with no apparent faults.

Drew Goddard directed Bad Times at the El Royale. Goddard is the director behind the films The Cabin in the Woods, Cloverfield, and The Martian. The film explores the issues of faith, redemption, and morality. The movie was a moderate hit at the box office, but failed to earn much money on Rotten Tomatoes. However, its performances are highly praiseworthy.

The storyline of Bad Times at El Royale is complex. The storyline varies dramatically, bouncing between different characters in unexpected ways. It doesn't follow a linear narrative, and many plot twists and turns slap the audience. It also includes many quiet moments. Overall, the movie has many layers and is one of the most compelling thrillers of the year. When you're done watching it, you'll want to watch it again.

Knives Out

While the classic murder mystery genre is still the most popular genre, there are a few films that don't belong in the usual suspects category. This includes films that feature non-traditional suspects, like the unconventional murderer in Knives Out. This list features movies with unconventional suspects and features a satirical spin on the genre. Here are 40 films that aren't the usual suspects but are still great.

One film that feels like a modern day Agatha Christie thriller is Knives Out, which stars Samara Weaving as a young woman who marries into a wealthy family. The murder mystery is a twisty one, but it's still a good family movie to watch. The movie also features a family dysfunction that resembles that of the Trombeys.

Rian Johnson made murder seem like a fun movie with his Academy Award-nominated "Knives Out." The comedy follows a dysfunctional family that suspects each other of murder. Christopher Plummer plays the patriarch, while Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as private investigator Benoit Blanc. The movie has a cast of weird and intriguing characters that make the crime drama an enjoyable watch.

While the sequel has not been released yet, it is anticipated by fans as a quintessential fall movie. This movie not only delivers a terrific murder mystery, but also captures the spirit of the fall season, including sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. This film has many sequels on the way. It's a must-see for any fan of the genre. So, don't wait for the sequel. It's sure to be a hit for the entire family.

While the original movie had an all-male cast, "Knives Out" focuses on a female lead. Unlike other noir and crime movies, women are rarely the focus of the story, but in A Simple Favor, a woman plays the role. The movie also stars the famous Henry Golding, Rupert Friend, and Jean Smart. The film's noir sensibility is apparent in both movies.

Citizens Kane

If you love movies and think of Orson Welles, you might remember his 1941 classic Citizen Kane. Though few modern moviegoers have seen the film, it is an important classic. The movie begins with a mystery over the final word "Rosebud," spoken by a dying media tycoon. In this film, the tycoon, played by Welles, decides to stay in Vienna. Soon, he becomes involved in a massive conspiracy.
