The Best Indie Horror Movies Of 2023

The Best Indie Horror Movies Of 2023, Ranked

Historical movies offer viewers a chance to see important events and time periods come to life. With the right script and a strong vision from the director, these films provide insight into the things that have shaped our world. Of course, excellent performances are also a vital part of the equation. You need to have actors who can make the stories feel vivid and urgent. Over the decades, many a star has scored an Oscar for doing just that in a historical movie, whether based on a true story or just a solid piece of fiction.For every case where that's happened, though, there's another where an actor gave an underrated performance. Sometimes it was because they had a supporting role, or one that wasn't as showy as a co-star's. Other times, the movies themselves didn't light up the box office to the degree that they deserved to. Whatever the case, the following actors all brought something incredibly special to the historical movies in which they appeared. Their efforts deserve to be discovered and appreciated.&nbsp;

Making an action blockbuster tends to be an incredibly expensive business, and there’s not a studio executive alive who doesn’t want to cut production costs wherever possible. One way to have all the neat stuff on screen and still keep the bean counters happy is to borrow some gear from Uncle Sam. The US military and Hollywood have been working together for the better part of a century. Provided the producers are willing to meet conditions and make requested changes, the Pentagon is only too happy to help.&nbsp;The support of the military can make or break a project - where else can you borrow an aircraft carrier, or a jet, or hire thousands of extras without actually having to pay them? But there is a price for that level of cooperation, and not every writer or director is willing to meet it. To qualify for military support, there are three main conditions: &nbsp;<ul><li>The film must portray the military in an authentic and accurate way.</li><li>The film must inform the public and present the military in a positive way.</li><li>The film must have a positive impact on recruitment and retention. &nbsp;</li></ul>This collection examines the times films asked for help but wouldn't meet the demands of the US Department of Defense, and were thus denied approval.

War Movies

War movies are both popular and common, but they tend to deal with the same small batch of wars. World War I, World War II, the Civil War, Vietnam, and the Iran/Afghanistan conflicts have all been the basis for numerous films. Many of those films have been great, a few even earning recognition as all-time classics. These wars are frequent cinematic fare because people are familiar with them, so there's a natural interest level.Of course, there have been many, many other wars over the centuries. Although historically important, the average person doesn't know as much about them as, say, WWII. The following movies are all about wars you've likely heard of, yet probably couldn't explain in much detail if asked. And that's okay - history is vast! How integral the war is to the stories can vary, as does the degree of historical accuracy. Nevertheless, each of them puts a lesser-known war into the spotlight for a few hours.

And Now: Something Different

Some films delight in their globe-hopping adventures, but you don&#39;t need a bunch of fancy locales to tell a great story. In the spirit of this, let&#39;s take a look at some of the best single-location movies in the history of cinema. For decades, filmmakers have used a single location to tell some fascinating stories that have delighted generations of moviegoers. Alfred Hitchcock did so numerous times, in films like&nbsp;Rear Window&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lifeboat.

Current Hollywood superstars Tom Hardy and Ryan Reynolds put on one-man, one-location performances in&nbsp;Locke&nbsp;and&nbsp;Buried, respectively.&nbsp;Others, like&nbsp;Oxygen,&nbsp;Cube, and&nbsp;The Platform,&nbsp;use a solitary location to tell outrageous sci-fi stories. You don&#39;t need a second-unit director when everything happens in one place!
