Classic of the week: “Freaks”
Take a look into freak show
Director Tod Browning took a chance portraying genuine human oddities — despite fears of offending public taste — and opened the door to a whole new level of horror films.
Top three Quentin Tarantino movies
A director who can please all audiences
What do a boxer, two mobsters, a diner-robbing couple and a gangster’s wife have in common? They’re all characters from 1994’s “Pulp Fiction.”

Classic of the Week: “2001: A Space Odyssey”
