Hotchka Movies by the Decade feature #289 :: February 5•11

Heading into the first week of February, movie-going audiences were treated to some major films across the century. 1926 saw the debut of a director who would go on to become known for his iconic works. 1936 brought a Broadway play to the big screen with two of its main stars, although there was a fight to keep one of them. A 1946 film may be one of, if not the first slasher films. One 1956 low-budget sci-fi flick became a classic, and inspired the word ‘podperson’, while another brought a popular husband & wife comedy team back to the big screen. A gritty 1976 film became infamous because of a tragedy it inspired. A 1986 comedy got major love from various awards organization, while a 1996 film brought its actors together before filming to bond for a few weeks. 2006 saw an ill-conceived reboot of a comedy franchise, and a third entry for a popular horror series. 2016 saw the Coen Brother return to the big screen with a love letter to classic Hollywood, and saw the debut of a foul-mouthed superhero. Scroll down to see all of the films released this week, and tell us if any of your favorites are celebrating milestone anniversaries.
