We are suckers for a live-action Disney movie, especially one involving Hermione Granger. Disney’s new version of Beauty and the Beast is out this month, but let’s not forget the French went here recently, with this CGI-laden live-action adaptation starring Blue is the Warmest Colour’s Léa Seydoux.

Song to Song has our vote for trailer of the year, so far. Malick, Portman, Mara, Gosling, Fassbender and many more stars pop up in this much-anticipated film. Read about who did and didn’t make the cut. Early SXSW feedback is mixed: “Resembles nothing so much as an advertisement for a pricy luggage brand or fragrance,” writes Matt. “Malick’s strongest since The Tree of Life,” says Jacob.

Formula One and Grand Prix nuts: action director Roger Donaldson is bringing the story of McLaren team founder Bruce McLaren to the big screen. In 1959, at age 22, the Kiwi upstart became the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner at that time. He died just 10 years later, but not before he and his team pulled off some fancy auto engineering.

Pedal to the metal, friends: we have a trailer for Edgar Wright’s much-anticipated Baby Driver, due out in August. “Wright’s signature style is on full display here,” says Letterboxd member Tom who saw this week’s SXSW premiere. “The soundtrack is a vehicle for the film… Wildly original and just damn fun,” says Connor.

“There is so much bad science in this film. Naturally occurring genome sequences and human body parts are non-patentable in both the United States and Mexico. Copyrights don’t even apply at all to biodesign since they require creative authorship. Lionesses (or any feline species) do not preferably use their hind claws for anything—they’re more like backup daggers, something the film displays visually but explains with bullshit. Clones would have souls just as much as people, at least as much as souls can exist (I’m not going to bother unpacking that common misconception here). And corn syrup is not some magic medicine, just an addictive source of calories.” —CourtJester

“Please believe me when I say this is the hardest I’ve cried in a long long time. There’s so much emotion in Logan: rage, desperation, regret, but most of all love. Behind all the (admittedly satisfying) gore, it’s a search for family and belonging that derives most of its power from its central performances, all three of which are heartwrenching and hopeful in equal measure. It’s a fitting farewell to a character whose onscreen journey has previously been defined by his lack of a home, the man who has time and again been seen fighting to protect the children under his care.” —tori

A real masterpiece by Kazan. Nuanced and intelligent performances by all of the actors, a perfect cast really. Wonderfully complex themes on love, growing up, letting go of childhood, waking up to the flaws of adults, reconciling your parents as fellow humans, and what I like to call the condition of being female in society. I’m sure in ’61 all of the women in this movie were easy to dismiss as the stereotypes they all as characters play into, but in 2016 it’s hard not to see all of them as layered, relatable and misunderstood. There’s never a moment in which Kazan dismisses any of these women, they all have their moment of sympathy and empathy from the camera and the script. What a sad, beautiful film. Not to mention some really shocking scenes (especially for ’61) that still make you gasp. —Jenna Ipcar

Unpacking a film like Crocodile Dundee three decades on is not for everyone. Many who once lined around the corner to see it have probably decried it long ago. Paul Hogan’s aim was mass appeal, an Australian comedy on the world stage, and that means the culture clash humor is predictably broad, base and dated, replete in good-hearted Ockerisms… Hoges was irrevocably an icon of almost inimitable Australiana, and received an Oscar nomination and got the girl for his troubles. Remember the zeitgeist impact of Borat? Triple it! —Ruth

I love cryptozoology. While Nessie has and will always be my Cryptid of Choice, sasquatches are pretty fun, too. So I was already pre-disposed to enjoy The Legend of Boggy Creek, a docu-drama about the Fouke Monster or Southern sasquatch. Not a lot happens here, just a lot of far-off shots of the monster and some voice-overs and nature shots and the like. But when it works, it works as an encapsulation of time and place. One of my favorite aspects of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is how you can feel the heat and sweat and grime. While The Legend of Boggy Creek is not nearly as good, it is surprisingly effective in transporting you to Fouke, Arkansas, in the early ’70s. It gets a little old at the end (even though that’s when things finally start happening), but I still really enjoyed the time I spent with this movie. —Michael Audet

This one snuck up on me at first and then “blasted off” towards the middle. (*thank you, thank you*) But—seriously—such a wonderful commentary on the DANGERS of—you guessed it—CAPITALISM. … The beginning of the film plays very “artsy” in both story, setting and cinematography. It’s beautiful to look at and the movie seems on its way to tell an off-beat story of a Chinese peasant lady caught up in a mild romance and an unusual occurrence. The filmmaker does a great job of not letting us know exactly what has happened and that little bit of mystery is SO KEY when it comes to the rest of the film’s story playing out. So smart. —Slappy McGee

It’s not always easy to keep a job. Here’s a growing list of directors who have been fired or replaced or had their films interfered with. “Not included are directors who never finished films. That’s a whole ’nother subject.”

Suggestions are welcome for this list exploring films with “actually bisexual characters”. “Not ‘gay with exceptions’. Not ‘curious’. Not doing it for the sake of a plot twist or a neat ending,” writes listmaker Grahame.

For those concerned with the quality of some of the qualifying films, he adds: “I think there is some merit to including things like Basic Instinct and Deadpool, both of which are very straight, mainstream, unconvincing depictions of bi/pansexuality as part of a general overview. ‘A List of Films With Authentic Depictions of Bisexual Characters That Aren’t Shit’ would be a different, more personal thing—and who am I to say what’s authentic for everyone, anyway?”

And here’s every movie with lesbians.

Films with posters that look like a skull but aren’t a skull but are they?

Cinematography is the only Oscar category in which a woman has never been nominated. To commemorate this fact and to celebrate “badass lady DPs”, Caterina has created this list of films lensed by cinematographers that are not men.

This is the kind of deliciously specific list that brings tears to our eyes: hidden gems that have been rated 5 stars on Letterboxd more than any other rating. The criteria applies only to films that have been watched by fewer than 3,000 members. Suggestions, as always, are welcome.

This exists and we don’t know why but we love it and it’s a fitting end to this month’s news: a list of films whose titles (mostly) spell out the lyrics to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Way to go, Robin.
