Mike Leigh wrote and directed this uncharacteristically sweet comedy, and it almost unanimously drove critics and juries wild.

After WALL-E's giant success, there was speculation about how Disney-Pixar's next venture--this computer-animated feature about an old man and his flying house--would stack up. "Isn't the main character an old grouch?" "It's about tying balloons to a house?" "Are families going to pay to see this?" Not just families, but everyone--to the sum of $300 million.

For over a decade, Quentin Tarantino plotted an homage to freewheeling war movies of old like The Dirty Dozen. When it came time to finally bring his bulging script for a spaghetti WWII story to the screen, Tarantino supposedly got Brad Pitt so drunk he couldn't refuse the starring role of Lt. Aldo Raine. His mission: lead a band of Jewish bastards into occupied France to collect Nazi   More...

The artistic crime of the century. That's what people said about Philippe Petit's illegal, not to mention insane, tightrope walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center on August 7, 1974.
