This edition of Reel to Real returns to a pair of challenging, but always intriguing films released in 1999 by directors David Fincher and Milos Forman.

Michael Haneke’s ‘Funny Games’ arrived 25 years ago as an ingenious meditation on hyper-gratuitous violence in mainstream cinema.

Mick Raubenheimer’s Reel to Real continues a Halloween-themed swing into the horror genre with ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ and ‘Shadow of the Vampire.’

The only reason to return to the visceral hysterics of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ is that Tobe Hooper’s film transcends into a kind of poetics of evil.

A gorgeously textured spell of a film, the Peter Greenaway-directed ‘Prospero’s Books’ is unmatched for visual audacity and sophisticated narration.

Sergio Leone said he was done with the West. As ‘Once Upon a Time’ showed, however, the West wasn’t done with him.

Source material, much like actors, was merely a tool for Stanley Kubrick, a handy instrument to facilitate his vision.

‘The Beatles and India’ provides a fresh perspective on a seemingly well-known topic, and will inspire fans to dig deeper into a transformative period.

Mike Tiano says Peter Jackson’s sweeping ‘Get Back’ documentary did something miraculous for those who followed the Beatles during their heyday.

Last year’s releases from Bruce Springsteen, Deep Purple, R.E.M. and the Beatles taught us that what was once new is now old – and now new again.
