The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) were presented on Sunday, and the acting winners weren’t who many predicted. Jessie Buckley is still the favorite to win Best Actress for Hamnet, but the other acting categories saw some surprises. Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor for his role in One Battle After Another, despite Jacob Elordi and Stellan Skarsgard winning other pre-BAFTA awards. Wunmi Mosaku from Sinners took home Best Supporting Actress, following wins by Amy Madigan and Teyana Taylor. The biggest surprise of the night was Robert Aramayo winning Best Actor for the British independent film I Swear, which isn’t released in the US until April. This win throws the Oscar race for Best Actor into question, as Timothée Chalamet, who was the front-runner, didn’t win at the BAFTAs.

However, it’s worth noting that while Elio is getting a lot of attention, the studio took a risk on an original project last year as well. Win or Lose, an eight-episode series that premiered on Disney+ in February, was Pixar’s first original TV show. Many consider it one of their best works of the 2020s, and it recently received recognition, winning three Annie Awards on February 21st – including Best Limited Series.

Here are 20 currently available Criterion films that I recommend for any serious physical media collector.

However, it’s a fantastic starting point, and I’ve included links to purchase all 20 in the ScreenCrush store to make things easy for you.

The 1980s were full of exciting crime movies, thrillers, and even scary crime films, but many of them have faded from memory. While films like Lethal Weapon, The Untouchables, and 48 Hrs. remain popular, numerous other great movies from that era deserve to be rediscovered, and these six films are a great place to start.

Netflix just released a first look at its upcoming adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Emma Corrin, known for The Crown, will play Elizabeth Bennet, and Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) will play Mr. Darcy. You can watch the teaser trailer below.

Horror movies are unique because even though many are poorly made, they can still be incredibly popular. This is especially true within the slasher subgenre – while it’s home to some of the most famous horror films, a lot of them aren’t very good, and that’s often what makes them enjoyable.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell lead the new series The Madison, playing husband and wife, Stacy and Preston Clyburn. This neo-Western will take place in both the stunning scenery of Montana and the bustling streets of Manhattan, exploring the complex bonds of family.

Even two hundred years after her passing, Jane Austen’s popular novels, like Sense and Sensibility and Emma, still captivate readers. Her stories, considered classics of literary fiction, have gained even more fans thanks to countless TV and film adaptations. Pride and Prejudice is the most adapted work, famously telling the romantic story of the independent Elizabeth Bennet and the proud, wealthy Mr. Darcy during the Regency era.
