‘La La Land’
USA, 2016 (130 minutes). Director: Damien Chazelle. Cast: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Rosemarie De Witt.
Audacity was needed to recreate the old musical cinema in the middle of 2016. Damien Chazelle assumes not only the visual modes, but also the spirit of the classics, and transforms an almost basic story into a masterpiece thanks to the incisiveness of his camera. Almost in the manner of Borges’ Pierre Menard, a carbon copy never seemed so modern.

‘The Valiant Prince’
Prince Valiant. United States, 1954 (96 minutes). Director: Henry Hathaway. Cast: James Mason, Janet Leigh, Robert Wagner, Debra Paget.
One of the great Fox classics, directed by an all-rounder like Henry Hathaway, who knows how to bring tons of adventurous spirit to a superb script in which Dudley Nichols adapts the cartoons created by Hal Foster. Good old-fashioned cinema, in which the directors were not looking for spectacular shows, but stories told with as much rigor as passion. To round off, a luxury cast.

‘Rocky’
USA, 1976 (113 minutes). Director: John G. Avildsen. Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Talla Shire.
As the rest of the films in the series were degenerating, hardly anyone remembers that the first film about the Italian Colt was not bad at all. He even got three oscars (although above taxi driver Y All the president’s men which is an exaggeration). rocky It is based on some great dialogues, written by Stallone himself. It should be seen with nostalgia as an adolescent spectator.

‘Suddenly last summer’
Suddenly, Last Summer. USA, 1959 (109 minutes). Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Cast: Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn.
In the fifties, the teacher Mankiewicz, in addition to filming several of his own scripts, adapted Shakespeare into Julius Caesar, to Graham Greene in the quiet american and Tennessee Williams in Suddenly last summer, a masterpiece as beautiful as it is distressing. A story moved by jealousy, sex and secret obsessions, centered on a possessive mother to the point of despair, a tormented neurosurgeon and an unbalanced young woman. All of them, characters in search of footholds that allow them to understand the reality that surrounds them. Mankiewicz corners them in a hard and brutal film, with an outcome as unexpected as it is bloody.

‘The seven magnificents’
The Magnificent Seven. 1960 (125 minutes). Director: John Sturges. Cast: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson.
The narrative purity and virtuosity of the staging of this classic of Western cinema is still surprising. A story that starts from the archetypes to fill them with life, that accumulates incisive dialogues and that vibrates, vital and fierce, to capture the essence of the genre with astonishing naturalness.

‘Grandpa’
Spain, 1998 (140 minutes). Director: Jose Luis Garcia. Performers: Fernando Fernán-Gómez, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, Rafael Alonso.
Garci casts a contemplative and austere gaze on Galdós’s novel. His narrative pulse draws from the classics of melodrama and in his images beats a taste for strict framing, for the accurate image. Fernán-Gómez, of course, delivers a masterful job

Director of West Side Story It alternates drama, romance and adventures in China in 1926. Steve McQueen deploys his appeal in a story that presents an American ship delivered to the rescue of some missionaries.

‘Guantanamera’
Cuba-Spain, 1994 (102 minutes). Director: Tomás Gutiérrez Alea. Performers: Jorge Perugorría, Mirta Ibarra, Carlos Cruz.
A social satire wrapped in a romantic comedy. Or a love story that walks alongside a political portrait. guantanamera unite both intentions. It is a film as funny as it is critical in which a truck and a funeral procession share a journey and adventures for a thrifty state plan to transfer the dead.
