Earlier this year, Indiewire’s David Ehrlich coined and popularized the term “nicecore,” characterizing a growing genre of films predominantly concerned with the capacity of people to be kind, humane and loving. Ehrlich’s appraisal, naturally, focused on the delightful, hopeful and all around splendid “Paddington 2,” a children’s film about an adorable bear from the fictitious land of Darkest Peru that’s as much about the antics of its titular teddy as it is a parable for the struggles of immigrants.

There is perhaps no more vital film for our time than Michael Mann’s 1999 drama “The Insider,” a film as much about a team of CBS "60 Minutes" journalists as it is about the vitality of truth and the cost of doing the right thing.

In a room somewhere beneath its grand auditorium, IU Cinema’s technical director Barbara Grassia toils away at her desk. It’s a small room, lit with bright fluorescent lights, filled with gadgetry and film paraphernalia. Racks of empty reels line the walls, and on a small white desk in the corner, is a rig to hold reels for her inspection.

Stanley Kubrick’s stirring, wondrous science fiction acid trip “2001: A Space Odyssey” celebrates its 50th birthday this year, and in honor of its past five decades of stunning and bewildering audiences worldwide, it’s come back to the big screen for IMAX and 70mm film presentations.

Perhaps the only Best Picture to ever be directed by a man who also directed an Adam Sandler comedy, Tom McCarthy’s “Spotlight” is a work of purely triumphant filmmaking. It’s also beautifully subdued, and its willingness to adhere to facts without overt sensationalizing is vital to its identity as a movie about journalism.

Those things, it might seem, are an unfortunate coincidence for student productivity levels everywhere, but they’re also a nice opportunity to ease into a bad sleep schedule and poor productivity to get that lovely, full college experience. Without further ado, here’s some suggested viewing titles for the month of September, when studying is out and binging the longest possible movies and TV series is in:

Silence and dread pervade “First Reformed,” the new film from frequent Martin Scorsese collaborator Paul Schrader and an altogether crushing work of existential and theological terror. They seep into its crevices, fill the vacuous emptiness of its chilly atmosphere. A stirring and harrowing meditation on faith, mortality and the space mankind has carved himself in all of existence, this is one of the finest films of the year.

The Coen Brothers’ absurdist political thriller/slapstick comedy “Burn After Reading,” is about the chaos that ensues when a CD containing the memoirs of a former government agent falls into the wrong hands. The film turned ten years old this week and like the majority of the Coen Brothers' positively incredible oeuvre, it remains an excellent work of storytelling as when it released, but has aged remarkably well.

“Sorry to Bother You,” the January 2018 feature film debut of political hip-hop-artist-gone-director Boots Riley, feels exactly like the film you’d expect from an artist whose rap group released the song “Me and Jesus the Pimp in a ’79 Granada Last Night.”

“BlacKkKlansman” will rightfully be described by many as an angry film. Both an energetic period piece that exudes style and class, and a hard-as-nails look at modern racism and political regression, it’s an impassioned work to be sure.
