5/5
 
"Terry Gilliam's most mature film to date demands rigorous analysis from the viewer. Add to this the director's grotesquely comic hallmarks, and the resulting film is a complex and rewarding fantasy."

5/5
 
"Shot through with an exuberant and enviable sense of its own brilliance, Toy Story will continue to impress long after its technical virtuosity has been upstaged."

5/5
 
"Much work has gone into the 'story' as into the 'toy', making this a rewarding return to an indisputable visual treat."

Toy Story 2 (1999)100%
/
3/5
 
"All the old Enterprise personnel carry the film, as it is more concerned with character re-animation than development."
Posted Sep 11, 2001
 
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)77%
/
4/5
 
"The hinted spirituality of the film is plainly silly, but it's quickly swallowed by the undertow of crashing spectacle."
Posted Sep 10, 2001
 
Point Break (1991)68%
/
4/5
 
"A bold attempt to reinvent the character itself, one that tied in with the post-cold war era."
Posted Sep 10, 2001
 
Goldeneye (1995)81%

4/5
 
"In this, the fourth instalment in the series from the original team, you have a classic Bond film that wants for nothing but a trim."

Thunderball (1965)90%
/
4/5
 
"Zinnemann's tale of an extremist faction's plot to kill the celebrated French leader and the authorities' efforts to capture the mercenary assassin hired for the job achieves a dignified tone and compelling pace seldom seen in latter-day thrillers."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
The Day of the Jackal (1973)90%

5/5
 
"Less cynical souls will weep buckets."

Brief Encounter (1946)82%

4/5
 
"Opening with a full overture played against Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you know that you're in for something unembarrassed by its own grandiosity."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
Ben-Hur (1959)91%
/
4/5
 
"This is very much a film of the 80s in its portrayal not of moral decline (there is little declining left to do) but of unstoppable ego-centrism. With guns."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
Scarface (1983)87%
/
4/5
 
"The film's greatest achievement is successfully framing the plot around a character incapable of emotional development."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
Rain Man (1988)89%
/
5/5
 
"If you are at all interested in the history of cinema, or the influence of 20th century politics on the medium, then this film is a must-see, although over an hour of Soviet propaganda is likely to test the patience of modern viewers."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
Battleship Potemkin (1925)100%
/
3/5
 
"A magnificently indignant Heston ... wrestles with the imponderables of a topsy-turvy world in which apes reign over humankind."
Posted Apr 17, 2001
 
Planet of the Apes (1968)88%
/
4/5
 
"Taken altogether, Mann doesn't do anything particularly new, but with a subtly used supporting cast he combines everything into an unusually articulate action thriller."
