I was sad to learn that Miramax films is no more. Thought it hasn’t been anything near the powerhouse it was when the Weinstein’s owned it, it is still sad to see such a great company close its doors.

Miramax has been responsible for some incredible and important films over the past twenty years. I have fond memories of that big, block-letter M logo fading in at the beginning of some of my favourite films.

Here’s a list of a few films that stand out to me:
