Rabid Dogs
One False Move
War, The


Runaway Train/B+,B

From an Akira Kurosawa screenplay. Jon Voight is fantastic as fierce habitual criminal Oscar "Manny"  Mannheim. A smile to remember with ferocious non-stop action. 


 


General, The /A,B+ 
 
Irish gang leader Martin Cahill through the lens of John Boorman makes fascinating viewing. Watch it in black and white,  Boorman's choice.



Truman Show/A,A-
Powered by the consummate taste and directing perfection of Peter Weir. Jim Carrey gives a marvelous performance. Not to be missed!



Mother Night/A-/A-
The eccentric style of Nick Nolte is perfect for the angst ridden Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a hero or a villain.



The Adventures of Baron Munchausen/A,A-

Director Terry Gilliam's richly detailed interpretation of the outlandishly imagined and fabricated exploits of the legendary eighteenth-century German adventurer and storyteller.



Charade/A,B

Successfully combining romantic comedy and suspense is no small achievement. Charade does it with panache.



Little Fugitive (SE)/A,B+

Remarkable raw filmmaking from Morris Engel.  Bodies laid out end-to-end present a picture of 1950s America.  The photography is so startling that it could actually be broken down into a volume of stills.

October Sky/A,A

Johnston’s glorious montage work accompanied by Marc Isham's stunning Americana score are reason enough for watching this exquisite movie.


City of Industry/B+,B+


A heist delivered in simple strokes and sudden fury. Harvey Keitel is relentless.




Nights of Cabiria(SE)A,A  



Bravura simplicity of Fellini’s vision perfectly mates with the unadorned tale of Cabiria, the feisty yet innocent prostitute. Don't pass it up.



Some like it Hot/ A, C

Marilyn Monroe wriggles and shakes her way as Sugar Cane to iconic perfection. Bily Wilder and co writer Diamond concoct some of the snappiest, slightly licentious, dialogue this side of Preston Sturges. 



Ghost World/ A, A


Ghost World may be one of the finest movies about outsider I have ever seen. Splendid work from Thora Birch and maybe the best Steve Buscemi ever.  A stunning transfer.



Three Kings/A-,A


Three Kings speeds ahead like a formula one race car on the fast track to reckless fascination.

A film of extraordinary power that pulls no punches, The Grifters is not to be missed. Hungry characters on the con, the short con, the long con, the self con.



The Court Jester/A,A-

Quite simply one of the funniest comedies ever made and the transfer is gorgeous. 



Spartacus (SE) /A, B+

This is one of the great epic films with an animally electric performance from Kirk Douglas. Great special editon.

 Unquestionably the best picture of 1997. Top-notch entertainment with superb acting.

From the great novel by Harper Lee, this tale of growing up in the 1930s South is splendidly evocative of place and period. Gregory Peck is splendid. Direction impeccable.

One of the creepiest horror films ever made. A nightmare that repeats itself endlessly until it becomes a reality. Black and white in Japanese with subtitles. Absolutely essential viewing.



Odd Man Out/B+,B

This straight-forward IRA tale takes on dream-like qualities under the polished direction of Carol Reed. Stunning images and an amazing James Mason performance.



Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai

Ancient Japanese samurai  tradition compared to new world Italian mobsters filtered through the imagination of Jim Jarmusch. Forest Whitaker is outstanding.
