Variety's ByClaytonDavis ranks Sony Pictures Classics' 25 best movies, from 'Call Me by Your Name' to 'Take Shelter.'
Thirty years ago, former Orion Classics heads Michael Barker, Tom Bernard and Marcie Bloom created the independent arm of Sony Pictures Entertainment with full autonomy to produce, acquire and distribute films from cinema’s notable auteurs.
Aside from “Crouching Tiger,” the studio has amassed eight other best-picture-nominated films: “Howard’s End” , “Capote” , “An Education” , “Midnight in Paris” , “Amour” , “Whiplash” , “Call Me by Your Name” and “The Father” . One example: Brazilian Fernanda Montenegro became the first Latina nominated for best actress for her powerhouse turn in Walter Salles’ “Central Station” .
It’s because of Barker and Bernard’s fearless leadership that veteran character actor J.K. Simmons and legendary screenwriter James Ivory have Oscars today. The same goes for the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, honored for playing author Truman Capote.
