25 Greatest Warner Bros Movies Ever

Before Ridley Scott and Matt Damon combined to make the glorious The Martian with its humanist propaganda message, Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity tackled similar material with more darkness, more devastation and a lot more emotion towards the bleaker end of the scale.

It's an almost impossibly compelling film, dealing with loss, death, strength of will and human power in the face of almost endless adversity. To be honest, it could quite easily have been subtitled A Series Of Unfortunate Space Events, such is the escalation of drama, but there is such an affirming message by the end that it's entirely worth it (assuming you don't think Stone's survival is a death rattle dream of course).

Cuaron's directing, meanwhile, is spotless: he creates a visually stunning series of portraits, composed to an infinite degree and masterfully atmospheric and he creates an experience that belongs right up there with the best space movies ever made.
