– John Saavedra Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
But he does provide his characters with some very captivating evidence. It’s through Graham navigating this personal tragedy as well as an unprecedented moment in human history that the film gets into its heavier subject matter: does God exist? And if so, is He actually listening? Shyamalan can’t actually answer those questions for you, of course, he’s not that good.
At the center is Mel Gibson’s Graham Hess, a priest who has lost his faith after the death of his wife. Although the film is set in the present, Shyamalan’s intimate tale about an alien invasion wants to take us back to the UFO hysteria of the ’50s - crop circles, tin foil conspiracies, panic spread through news broadcasts and gossip, and one truly terrifying sighting that still gives us the chills to think about.īut like all great Shyamalan films, Signs turns out to be about a lot more than little green men. Night Shyamalan was at the height of his storytelling powers in the early ’00s after The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, but it’s Signs that still stands out as his best entry from that era. The only flaw: a triumphant ending that feels almost physically out of place with the rest of the film.

While this is by no means a comprehensive list, it hopefully includes more than a few songs you forgot that you loved, alongside a whole bunch of others that were (and maybe still are) well-established staples of your musical diet. But especially during the heyday of teen-oriented movies, there are almost too many great songs to count (or remember) that started their lives onscreen opposite some important moment of romance, redemption, or inspiration-or in a classic '80s montage scene.Īs the summer not-so-quietly continues to heat up, it felt like a good time to dig back into that rich library of ‘80s movies-most of them for, or about, teens-to look at the songs we’ve maybe long since forgotten that began their lives on an '80s movie soundtrack, or surged in popularity because of one. Home video distributor Vinegar Syndrome recently issued the epic BMX-themed teen movie Rad on DVD and 4K suffice it to say its most notable cultural footprint might be an early Lori Loughlin role as a biking prodigy, and the contribution of Real Life’s “Send Me An Angel” to playlists in an era where one-hit wonders seemed to dominate the airwaves. As familiar-even iconic-as many 1980s movies have become in audiences’ minds, there are always a handful that get overlooked, or thankfully rediscovered, thanks to re-releases and anniversaries.
