	"Unforgettable, whether you like it or not." -- CinePassion Posted Feb 26, 2008	Santa Sangre (1990)	74%

3.5/4	"Often regarded (or dreaded) as the ultimate chick flick, due in no small amount to its fetish-object role in Sleepless in Seattle, An Affair to Remember deserves better than to be the receptor of Meg Ryan's crocodile tears." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jan 20, 2008	An Affair to Remember (1957)	64%
2/4	"*Last year's unwanted-pregnancy sweepstake continues with Lost in Beijing, Li Yu's soap-operatic drama set in China's bustling capital." -- Slant Magazine* Posted Jan 20, 2008	Lost in Beijing (2008)	47%

3/4	"Kurosawa's early stylistic experimentations turn a nightclub stopover into a monstrous parody of an American jitterbug dance-off, and when blood gets finally spilled, it's in a slip-and-slide Yakuza frenzy choreographed amid splattered paint." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 26, 2007	Drunken Angel (1948)	100%
2.5/4	"Max Mon Amour's theme is one that the great surrealist would have enjoyed--and pushed further." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 25, 2007	Max Mon Amour (1986)	n/a
