School of Rock (2003)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Although it doesn't talk about a real rock band, it's hard not to think of the musical genre and not remember the beloved movie 'School of Rock'. An unusual foray of filmmaker Richard Linklater ('Before Sunrise') into a typical afternoon session production, this production is to be kept under lock and key in the heart. After all, just like 'Dead Poets Society', 'School of Rock' talks about the influence of a teacher - who isn't really a teacher in the end - on the lives of a group of young students. The rhythm is contagious, the children's acting makes a caress in the heart of the viewer and Jack Black has the biggest role of his career, along with 'High Fidelity', 'King Kong' and 'Bernie: Almost an Angel'.

Last Flag Flying
A long movie with moments of lightness but with a dark and moving story about the obstacles that life throws in our way and how we overcome them with the help of our friends. Director Richard Linklater (nominated for an Oscar for 'Boyhood') is a master in terms of actor direction and this is made clear throughout the movie. Steve Carell ('Foxcatcher'), Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad') and Laurence Fishburne ('Matrix') are impeccable as three Vietnam War veterans who haven't seen each other for years and reunite for the funeral of one of them's son, killed in combat, in the Iraq War.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
"Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" is organized chaos. After all, it brings together director Richard Linklater ("Boyhood", "Before Midnight") and star Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine") in the adaptation of the homonymous bestseller written by Maria Semple. The result is a bit uneven, but on the one hand it maintains some of that rebellious energy that characterizes Linklater's filmography; on the other, even though there was a lack of character development, the performances of the cast make this a very enjoyable comedy - and, for that reason, it ended up being worth a Golden Globe nomination for Cate.
Before Sunrise
Director and screenwriter Richard Linklater (who would later become known for 'Boyhood') takes a very simple premise in 'Before Sunrise': two strangers who bump into each other on a train in Europe and decide to spend the night together in beautiful Vienna. He (Ethan Hawke) is an American boy carefree with life, traveling aimlessly after getting dumped. She (Julie Delpy) is a French girl with certain ideals. From there, we fall in love with these two real characters, so believable, thanks to Linklater's accurate script, which leaves gimmicks aside and just puts Jesse and Celine walking through the streets, getting to know each other, falling in love and making the audience fall in love with this instant passion. It's hard not to sigh in some scenes that have already become classics of cinema, such as the averted looks in the record store or the imaginary telephone game in the restaurant. It's a simple movie, with great performances by Hawke and Delpy, that makes us travel not only through Austria, but also through the infinite possibilities of love.
Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood
He may get it wrong sometimes, but filmmaker and screenwriter Richard Linklater is one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary cinema. He plays with narratives (the 'Before' trilogy), visuals ('Waking Life') and even time ('Boyhood'). Netflix exclusive movie 'Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood' blends all of Linklater's innovations together. After all, the feature film is a mirror of the filmmaker's childhood, showing the impact of the Apollo 10 space flight on his life, and using the same animation technique as 'Waking Life' - plus plenty of conversation, as is customary in his narratives. Tailor-made for the filmmaker's fans, 'Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood' knows how to bring nostalgia to the screen without excessive nostalgia, and makes the audience think about their own journey.
