A familiar name to any grade school library, E.B. White tried his hand at children's literature and came out of the gate with two bangers: Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. The latter is often cited as the best children's book of the century — if not of all time — perhaps because its adaptations, including a curious 2006 video game, have never overshadowed the book itself. Possibly best known of those adaptations is this 1973 cartoon that followed the spectacular Wilbur (Henry Gibson) as he finds his way through barnyard politics and tricky spots with the assistance of Charlotte (Debbie Reynolds), a caring and literate spider.

Michael Haneke's most notorious provocation, Funny Games spares no detail in its depiction of the agony of a bourgeois family held captive at their vacation home by a pair of white-gloved young men. In a series of escalating "games," the sadistic duo subject their victims to physical and psychological torture over the course of a night. A home-invasion thriller in which the genre's threat of bloodshed is made stomach-churningly real, the film ratchets up shocks even as its executioners interrupt the action to address the audience, drawing queasy attention to the way that cinema milks pleasure from pain and stokes our appetite for atrocity. With this controversial treatise on violence and entertainment, Haneke issued a summation of his cinematic philosophy, implicating his audience in a spectacle of unbearable cruelty. GET TICKETS!
