James Foley, the esteemed filmmaker recognized for his contributions to movies such as Glengarry Glen Ross and the Fifty Shades trilogy’s subsequent installments, has sadly passed away at 71 following a tough battle with brain cancer. According to Variety, he peacefully bid farewell at his Los Angeles residence earlier this week. Here are five of his most impactful films:
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
1992’s Glengarry Glen Ross is an intense drama based on David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. It unfolds in a ruthless real estate agency where salesmen fight tooth and nail to stay afloat following a stern warning. Starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey, the film delivers exceptional acting performances.
At Close Range (1986)
1986’s “At Close Range,” directed by James Foley, is a modern crime drama with noir elements, loosely based on the notorious Johnston crime family of Pennsylvania. In this movie, Sean Penn plays Brad Whitewood Jr., who unwittingly gets entangled in his father’s illegal dealings, as portrayed by Christopher Walken. The film’s music includes Madonna’s “Live to Tell,” which later became a popular single.
Fear (1996)

Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018)
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I had the privilege of overseeing Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018), the sequels in the Fifty Shades cinematic journey. These captivating movies were extensions of E.L. James’s enchanting novels, delving deeper into the love story between Anastasia Steele, portrayed by Dakota Johnson, and Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan.
1. In “Fifty Shades Darker,” we dive deeper into their renewed romance, focusing on topics such as trust and deep emotional bonding.
