Director: Tim Burton Cinematographer: Stefan Czapsky
Burton needed the promise of more creative freedom to persuade him to take the reins of his second Batman film. The sequel sees Batman (Michael Keaton) fighting a new foe in the form of the monstrous Penguin (Danny DeVito), who lives in the sewers and aims to kill all of Gotham City’s firstborn sons. He must also deal with Selina Kyle/Catwoman (a seductive Michelle Pfeiffer), the former secretary of businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken), who seeks vengeance against Shreck for attempting to kill her to hide his own plans to bring the city under his control. Darker and more violent than the first film, Batman Returns is an entertaining showcase for the talents of Keaton who delivers as the brooding hero, a scene staling DeVito and Burton’s ability to produce remarkably original atmospherics.

Peter Travers is an American film critic and journalist, who has written for People and Rolling Stone. Travers also hosts a celebrity interview show called Popcorn for ABC News.

In 2010, to mark the release of Toy Story 3, IGN Movies decided to amend their previous rankings of feature-length cartoons and publish a new list of films. They assembled their best film experts, Phil Pirrello, Eric Goldman, Matt Fowler, Scott Collura, Cindy White and Jesse Schedeen who put together 25 of the genre’s best films. Their criteria included the films’ impact on pop culture, story quality, legacy and filmmaking style.
In September 2009, Entertainment Weekly published a list of 19 all-time classics of animation. The list includes some of the best of Disney and Pixar but also, pleasingly, some Japanese anime, including two films from Studio Ghibli and two modern examples of Middle Eastern animation from Israel, Waltz With Bashir and Iran, Persepolis.

In 2007, to mark the release of Die Hard 4 – Live Free or Die Hard, Entertainment Weekly published a list of the 25 greatest action films in their June 22nd issue.

The oldest film in the list goes back to the 1930s, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and also included are several from the 1960s, Goldfinger and The Wild Bunch.

Set in an alternate version of the 1960s, The Incredibles follows the Parrs, a family of superheroes, who, in accordance with a government mandate, are forced to hide their powers and live a quiet suburban life. However, Mr. Incredible’s desire to help people draws the entire family into a confrontation with a vengeful fan-turned-foe and his killer robot. Brad Bird moves slightly away from the normal Pixar formula but his dysfunctional family tale provides plenty of wit, a great deal of entertainment and some amazing animation. A sequel was released in 2018.

Sonnenfield’s comedy sequel sees the Addams family welcoming a new baby boy but then making the mistake of employing devious nanny (Joan Cusack). She pretends to fall in love with Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) and then marries him, intending to murder him for his inheritance. Meanwhile, the family teenagers, Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman), are none to happy about their new sibling and will stop at nothing to get rid of him. While the first film did better business at the box office and was deemed a strong adaptation of the madcap TV series, Addams Family Value goes deliciously more macabre and satirical in its humour and was seen by many critics as a rare example of a sequel that is better than the original.

In January 2015 British newspaper The Guardian published a list of the 50 best films of the decade so far, which were chosen by critic and writer, Peter Bradshaw. Bradshaw’s list is supposed to consider what trends are emerging in cinema. The films appear to be listed in no particular order.

Bradshaw has been chief film critic at The Guardian since 1999, and is a contributing editor at Esquire. He is a regular guest reviewer on the Film… programme broadcast on BBC One and has been shortlisted four times at the British Press Awards in the Critic Of The Year category, in 2001, 2007, 2013 and 2014, gaining “Highly Commended” on this last occasion.
In 2011 a combined best films of the year poll was conducted by LA Weekly and Village Voice. There were 95 participating critics and Terrence Malick’s polarizing The Tree of Life finished top. Each critic submitted their choices for the 10 best films of the year, the three best performances in each of the acting categories, and one top selection in every other category. Ninety out of 95 critics submitted a ranked ballot, on which a first-place vote was worth 10 points, a 10th-place vote was worth 1 point, and so on.
At the end of 2011 IndieWire named their Best Films of 2011. The poll was voted on by 162 “critics, bloggers and other tastemakers from around the world”. The Tree of Life was named best film and won the majority of year end polls for 2011. Von Trier’s Melancholia wasn’t universally admired but probably stands out as the Danish filmmakers best film of the last decade.
Published in 2006, Peter Travers, movie critic for Rolling Stone, compiled a list of the 1,000 best films available on DVD. Peter Travers is an American film critic and journalist, who has written for People and Rolling Stone. Travers also hosts a celebrity interview show called Popcorn for ABC News. The book’s entries are listed in alphabetical order and actually number 1013. This is because the Alien Quadrilogy, 4 films, is listed as one entry, the Back to the Future Trilogy, The Endless Summer Trilogy, The Matrix Trilogy, the That’s Entertainment Trilogy and the Three Colors Trilogy are all listed as one entry rather than three.

In 2010, to mark the release of Toy Story 3, IGN Movies decided to amend their previous rankings of feature-length cartoons and publish a new list of films. They assembled their best film experts, Phil Pirrello, Eric Goldman, Matt Fowler, Scott Collura, Cindy White and Jesse Schedeen who put together 25 of the genre’s best films. Their criteria included the films’ impact on pop culture, story quality, legacy and filmmaking style.
In September 2009, Entertainment Weekly published a list of 19 all-time classics of animation. The list includes some of the best of Disney and Pixar but also, pleasingly, some Japanese anime, including two films from Studio Ghibli and two modern examples of Middle Eastern animation from Israel, Waltz With Bashir and Iran, Persepolis.

Set in an alternate version of the 1960s, The Incredibles follows the Parrs, a family of superheroes, who, in accordance with a government mandate, are forced to hide their powers and live a quiet suburban life. However, Mr. Incredible’s desire to help people draws the entire family into a confrontation with a vengeful fan-turned-foe and his killer robot. Brad Bird moves slightly away from the normal Pixar formula but his dysfunctional family tale provides plenty of wit, a great deal of entertainment and some amazing animation. A sequel was released in 2018.
