campy classic with vince giving a star turn as the obsessed doctor revenging his wifes death in some very novel ways!
|
|
| 2 |
even camper sequel with a silly egyptian elixir of life storyline. cheesily grated!
|

terry gilliams folly that almost fucked his career for good - check it out to see why.
|
|
| 4 |
beautifully filmed actioner underwater. mad marines, curious aliens and ed harris in a very deep trench! the ending is daft and i have never figured out why mary elizabeth mastrantonio is so hated by the crew cos she's really nice!

I hate to admit it, but Nic Cage was awesome in this, well everybody was. Hats off to writer Charlie Kaufman for laying his cards on the table for the world to see.
|

not seen this in years but remember it fondly - something about an oscillation overthruster! and peter weller is one of those great actors that is way underappreciated by most people.

errol flynn is god. the entrance into the castle dining hall with the sherrifs deer over his shoulder is one of my favourite moments.
|
|

daft fun from robert rodriguez.
|
|

spielberg does an admirable kubrick impression but it is overlong and fudged towards the end.
|

gary oldman always makes the screen light up - and any film set in a confined space with loads of action gets my thumbs up.
|
|
| 11 |
this film is one of my all time favourites and must be watched in the dark, at full volume on the biggest screen possible. now go rewatch it.
|
|
| 12 |
one of a handful of sequels that is as good as if not better than the original. again u must watch this when the neighbours are mostly out and pump up the volume,.. mostly...
|
|
| 13 |
many are disappointed with this but i really love it. no real weapons and loads of bald brits and a rottweiler alien hybrid! whats not to love?
|
|
| 14 |
getting a bit stale with ripley by now but this gets special mention for ron perlmans great performance and those swimming aliens make my day! oh and jeunet should have sacked the designers of that crap monster at the end.
|
|
| 15 |
good but not great. lovely idea poorly directed. looks awesome in all the right ways but let down by a wishwashy set of actors.
|
|
| 16 |
an admirable attempt to reproduce the amazing comics - and the first manga i ever saw.
|
|
| 17 |
milos forman is an excellent director. this is engaging and informative and wonderfully entertaining.
|
|
| 18 |
a beautifel story of an innocent girl in a big world. some of the best use of computer effects in modern film that enhances the story rather than take it over - jeunet has a magic eye in all his work. oh and if any laydee's out there are anything like amelie, drop me a line!

yay for chris cooper! the most under rated man in the business.
|
|
| 20 |
the funniest documentary about film making ever. and its not meant to be a comedy!
|
|
| 21 |
not bad for an unfilmable book!
|
|
| 22 |
one of those films that has always been in my life and always will..."beware the moon lads, beware the moon.."
|
|
| 23 |
excellent non linear storyline revolving around one car crash and how it affects so many lives.
|
|
| 24 |
Well I was looking for Evening Harder (part 2) on here as I just watched that, but as ever flixster doesnt have it yet..
I could watch Kevin Smith for hours - and indeed if you get these 2 two part dvd sets you can! Each runs for over 4 hours - and a fuckin hi-larious.
Part1 highlight being the Superman story - and Part2 has ninjas rescuing Jesus from the cross!
|
|
| 25 |
voodoo drama with mickey rourke - the end doesnt pack quite the punch it could as alan parker peaked about 20 mns before the conclusion.
|
|
| 26 |
my favourite woody allen film - lobsters! spiders! la-de-dah!
|

Antz
(1998, PG)
ok cg animation but excellent work from woody allen in the lead voice role. made me think twice before treading on ants!

oliver stone comes over all tony scott and flashy in this fine sports drama
|

one of the reasons i bought a surround sound system - visually dynamic and aurally stimulating - with excellent performances from all involved.

From the first minutes of animal killings, rape, cruel torture, beheadings, anxiety and sickening gory violence - I watched it praying for it to end.
I would have turned it off if not for a friend's high praise.
I can't stomach any kind of cruelty to animals, even if they're clearly visual effects, so I particularly despised the bashing to death of the Jaguar.
I laughed out loud at the arrival of the Spaniards at the end too, and couldn't help but be reminded of 'Predator' through several key scenes.

bacon! paxman! hanks! sinise! harris! - great true story too.
|

If you're idea of a fun movie is hearing some of america's most well known standy up comedians tell the filthiest, most appallingly bad taste versions of the joke known as The Aristocrats - then you're just like me! Not one to watch with the in-laws present!
|
|
| 33 |
i'm a sucker for john schwartzman's cinematography in this - michael bay i can live without - and all those cocacola moments just distract.
|
|
| 34 |
the music in this is great, the scene with the ice cream van still shocks and the tension still affects. also Carpenter's homages to Hawks bring me out in smiles. excellent stuff!
|
|
| 35 |
beautiful design thanks to mike mignola and great story too.
|
|
| 36 |
just be careful who you go out with!
|
|
| 37 |
funnyish first installment of this ok trilogy
|
|
| 38 |
i like the sillhouette tent scene - that makes me laugh!
|
|
| 39 |
cant say i like dicaprio, but he's pretty impressive in this. great direction from martin scrosese too.

unnecessary 3rd installment of this stretched too thin series.

Azumi
(2006, Unrated)
Kicked arse big time, with beautiful camera work, amazing choreographed action scenes, moving characterisation and a drop dead gorgeous leading lady.
I know that the film is based on a comic, but I havent heard if its any good - does anyone know?
The final 40 minutes of the film - after Azumi's lesbian dalliance - are simply superb.
The androgynous bad guy is impressive too.
|
|
| 42 |
It does go from set piece fight scene to the next but with action like this - I'm certainly not complaining!
|
|
| 43 |
aside from some dodgy scouse accents, this is a fascinating look into the early days of the beatles - great music too!
|
|
| 44 |
i must have watched this every day over the summer it was released - and at one stage could repeat the script verbatim! it still entertains 22 years later :)
|
|

beautifully shot and acted. deeply personal work from master almodovar, with a touch of "vertigo" about it.

A tough gangland leader experiences love at first sight when he encounters a young college student in a crowd. With no concern for public conduct, or the desires of the girl, he forces himself upon her and kisses her in front of her boyfriend. Totally unapologetic, the man is beaten by police and left disgraced.
Desperate to see her again, the man decides to return to the same place. Soon, the student re-appears and she and her boyfriend go on a window shopping trip. However, her desperate lack of money leads her to commit an unfortunate crime, for which her victim demands an uncompromising, pre-planned punishment: She must work as a prostitute to pay the money back. And it is the man who fell in love with her in the crowd that day that will be responsible for taking care of her
Dark, daring and brutal, this twisted tale from the director of The Isle challenges romantic ideals and breaks with conventional notions of love to deliver one of the most powerful and controversial films of recent years.
