《伟大的电影2》是世界知名影评人罗杰·伊伯特“伟大的电影”系列的第二部。他延续了前著的妙语连珠与犀利观点，携带私货的毒舌，以及吐槽精准的幽默。《伟大的电影2》中收录的100篇影评，是100部被作者形容为“没得看，就会死”的电影，其中一些与伟大的名字相伴——罗伯特·布列松、希区柯克、伍迪·艾伦、戈达尔、斯皮尔伯格；另一些，人们通常不会将其与“伟大”联系起来，甚至会排斥。 正如伊伯特所强调的，“我们基于不同的理由去看不同的电影，而电影的伟大体现在各种不同的形式之中。”因此，《伟大的电影2》里既有《大白鲨》《夺宝奇兵》等被认为“太过流行的”，也有《落难见真情》《男人的争斗》等“标榜娱乐的”，还有《厄舍古厦的倒塌》《史楚锡流浪记》等“过于晦涩难懂的”。伟大的电影是一份清单，而非榜单，记录那些维护艺术之价值的电影。

Even though the 1992 Los Angeles riots took place long before the spread of camera phones, they were captured on video from the beginning, or at least from the event that lit the spark: the beating of Rodney G. King by Los Angeles police officers. “LA 92,” one of several documentaries being released to commemorate the riots’ 25th anniversary, takes advantage of the wealth of broadcast and helicopter footage available to assemble a chronological account with a present-tense feel. The movie, which opens theatrically on Friday and airs on the National Geographic channel on Sunday, begins and ends by drawing a parallel with the 1965 Watts riots, which the news media addressed in strikingly similar language. Apart from overbearing music — the lead-in to the first day of the riots is scored with an orchestra tuning up — the film mostly lets the archival footage speak for itself.

The story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer wrongly imprisoned for murder, and the people who aided in his fight to prove his innocence.

At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange, and it's easy to get lost. Those who are already lost may find their way to a secret highway winding through underground caves. The people who live and work along this highway are themselves a little strange at first, but soon seem familiar: the aging driver making the last delivery for a doomed antique shop; the young woman who fixes obsolete TVs surrounded by ghosts; the child and his giant eagle companion; the robot musicians; the invisible power company lurking everywhere, and the threadbare communities who struggle against its grip. KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO is a magical realist adventure game in five acts, featuring a haunting electronic score, and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers. Rendered in a striking visual style that draws as much from theater, film, and experimental electronic art as it does from the history of videogames, this is a story of unpayable debts, abandoned futures, and the human drive to find community.
