After skipping it last year, the New York Film Festival will bring back the secret/surprise screening for this year’s 48th edition. Will it be Spencer? Soggy Bottom? West Side Story? I bet the top brass of the fest don’t even know what they will screen. The NYFF secret screening has delivered on many occasions in the past, memorable films to have gone this route at the fest include Scorsese’s “Hugo,” and Spielberg’s “Lincoln” — both were works-in-progress when they showed up those years.

Kathryn Bigelow’s “Strange Days” has remained largely unavailable on physical media, with only an old DVD edition to its name, but Disney is finally set to release the film on 4K Blu-ray.
Many thought this one might show up this awards season, especially given the recent pedigree of Kwedar and his writing partner Clint Bentley. The film wrapped production in October 2025.
These 31 titles clearly have their share of detractors — that’s why they’re “rotten” — and I expect some people to question a few of these picks. That’s fine. However, I believe most are strong films, worth reevaluating.
Cretton, who is directing “Naruto,” also has a “Shang-Chi” sequel in development. After dropping out of “Avengers: Kang Dynasty,” he was hired to direct “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of looking forward to the “Michael” sequel. Whether Vantoine directs it or John Logan, it doesn’t matter—it’s an inevitable sh*tshow that will result from its making and release.
