One Battle After Another in VistaVision
Paul Thomas Anderson won Oscars for Directing, Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture (along with fellow producers Adam Somner and Sara Murphy) for his epic comedy-thriller, loosely based on Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, about a retired revolutionary (Best Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio) trying to protect his teenage daughter from a fanatical military officer (Supporting Actor winner Sean Penn). Anderson’s longtime casting director Cassandra Kulukundis won the Academy’s inaugural Oscar for Casting, her expertly chosen ensemble including past Oscar winners (including Supporting Actor nominee Benicio Del Toro), veteran character actors, comedy writers, and impressive newcomers such as Chase Infiniti, who plays DiCaprio’s daughter.

The Searchers in 70mm
When the family of Civil War veteran Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) is killed in a Comanche raid, he spends years looking for his kidnapped niece—but her uncle may prove more of a threat than her abductors. John Ford’s epic, morally complex Western drama has become one of his most revered films in the 70 years since its release. It has been cited as a favorite by many filmmakers, including Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, and has influenced films as diverse as Star Wars (1977) and Hardcore (1979). Three-time Oscar winner Winton C. Hoch (The Quiet Man, 1952) shot the film in VistaVision on stunning outdoor locations, including Monument Valley, culminating in a powerful, frequently imitated final image.

Munich in 35mm
After the killing of Israeli hostages at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, a Mossad agent (Eric Bana) assembles a team to assassinate the men deemed responsible for the murders. Steven Spielberg’s fact-based international thriller is a thoughtful look at the moral costs of violence, with gripping suspense and an impressive supporting cast including Best Actor winner Geoffrey Rush (Shine, 1996), Supporting Actor nominee Ciarán Hinds (Belfast, 2021), and Daniel Craig, shortly before he debuted as James Bond. The film received five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Directing, and, for John Williams’ music, his 22nd feature score for the director. Williams’s somber, restrained score focused on, in the composer’s words, “the enormous suffering and guilt, and eventually, paranoia” of Bana’s protagonist.

Jackie
Natalie Portman was nominated for her uncanny performance as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in this unusual biopic directed by Pablo Larraín (Maria, 2024). The screenplay by Noah Oppenheim is structured around an interview by a magazine journalist (Billy Crudup) and focuses on key events in the First Lady’s life, especially the assassination of her husband. The film was also nominated for Madeline Fontaine’s authentic costume designs and the unsettling score by Mica Levi (Under the Skin, 2013), which used flutes and strings to evoke its heroine’s combination of vulnerability and resilience.

Da 5 Bloods
Four veterans return to the jungles of Vietnam in hopes of recovering a buried fortune in director/co-writer Spike Lee’s epic adventure drama, which pays homage to the classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (a favorite of the filmmaker’s) while exploring the rarely told experiences of Black soldiers in the Vietnam War. The top-notch cast includes Sinners supporting actor nominee Delroy Lindo as a proud Trump supporter; two stars of TV’s The Wire, Clarke Peters and Isiah Whitlock, Jr.; and Chadwick Boseman in one of his final performances. The film’s one Oscar nomination was earned by seven-time Grammy winner Terence Blanchard, a regular collaborator of Lee’s, whose bold orchestral score sits comfortably alongside the vintage Marvin Gaye songs that fill the film’s soundtrack.
