"In a shamelessly entertaining display of acting brilliance, McKellen 'plays' the demon's good arm as if it were a Stradivarius, executing one showy stunt after another." -- Washington Post
Posted Feb 27, 2008
 
Richard III (1995)95%
/
 
"Weber is working here out of a highly specialized interest, and what he means to say about his subject comes to us through layers of ambivalence." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 13, 2007
 
Let's Get Lost (1988)96%
/
 
"The movie carries its cyberpunk variation right through to the end, and usually with enough wit and craziness to freshen the mix. Then, there is Pamela, whose tight, disciplined performance deserves more respect than it will almost certainly get." -- Washington Post
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Barb Wire (1996)30%
/
 
"It's impossible to watch even a few feet of film by Paradjanov without acknowledging his mastery of the medium and the originality of his vision." -- Washington Post
Posted Jul 7, 2005
 
The Legend of Suram Fortress (1985)80%
/
 
"No one else makes films so alive with ideas or executed with as much daring, beauty or humor." -- Washington Post
Posted Jul 31, 2003
 
Helas Pour Moi (1993)71%
/
 
"This is a knockout debut." -- Washington Post
Posted May 24, 2003
 
Mala Noche (1985)94%
/
 
"A glorious romantic confection unlike any other in movie history." -- Washington Post
Posted Mar 31, 2003
 
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)100%
/
 
"Salwen has captured and properly identified a very particular modern American species. His emergence as a filmmaker is a true event." -- Washington Post
Posted Oct 16, 2002
 
Denise Calls Up (1996)77%
/
 
"It takes us back to a time in the history of movies when audiences responded to the images on screen with a combination of awe and fear, when in submitting to them, we felt as if we were submitting to a spell." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 20, 2002
 
Alice (1988)100%
/
4.5/5
 
"An intelligent, balanced, devastating movie." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 31, 2002
 
Dead Man Walking (1995)94%
/
 
"Without question, Nixon dwarfs everything in the American cinema since Schindler's List." -- Washington Post
Posted Feb 16, 2001
 
Nixon (1995)74%
/
 
"The film's realism is as ruthless as it is low-key. It's impossible not to look at the 35-year-old woman and mourn the loss of the 7-year-old girl." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
35 Up (1993)93%
/
 
"[Fellini] is that rare sort of artist who can be loved, revered and just barely tolerated, all at the same time." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
8 1/2 (1963)100%
/
 
"...Gordon shows the kind of filmmaking talent that creates genuine excitement." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Midnight Clear (1992)83%
/
 
"One of a small handful of essential films about politics in this country." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Perfect Candidate (1996)87%
/
 
"In its determination to emphasize character and thoughtful content over formulas and facile sensationalism, it's a movie that's proudly out of step with Hollywood trends." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A River Runs Through It (1992)78%
/
 
"It's a small work, but nearly perfect." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Tale of Winter (1992)88%
/
 
"If anything, though, Foley makes Thompson's killing universe too inviting, too sunny and comfortable. He's missed the essence of Thompson, but all in all, there are worse ways of failing." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
After Dark, My Sweet (1990)93%
/
 
"Divinely frivolous, nearly perfect fun." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Back to the Future Part III (1990)74%
/
 
"This punishing film from director Abel Ferrara is something else altogether -- an illuminating, excoriating descent into the cesspool of sin, self-loathing and defilement. This is not an easy film to watch." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bad Lieutenant (1992)74%
/
 
"Nothing in this epic visual poem is less than extraordinary." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Baraka (1994)88%
/
 
"Stillman pulls confident, polished performances from all his actors." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Barcelona (1994)78%
/
 
"Dark, haunting and poetic" -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Batman (1989)69%
/
 
"A delightfully satisfying modern fable, a near-masterpiece that draws on the sublime traditions of the past while remaining completely in sync with the sensibility of its time." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beauty and the Beast (1991)93%
/
 
"What's great about it is that it shows how wonderfully full of toys the world of adults can be. And though this may fall under the heading of tiny, perhaps even fatuous, revelations, it does send you out of the theater with a lighter step." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Big (1988)96%
/
 
"A masterpiece of stupid." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)59%
/
 
"Krzysztof Kieslowski's penetrating, hypnotic meditation on liberty and loss." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Blue (1993)100%
/
 
"Boomerang is the funniest, most sophisticated movie of Eddie Murphy's career." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Boomerang (1992)38%
/
 
"It's an utterly superficial movie -- a celebration of superficiality -- and utterly charming." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Boyfriends and Girlfriends (1988)100%
/
 
"It is Coppola's most lavish and, certainly, his most flamboyant film; never before has he allowed himself this kind of mad experimentation." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)82%
/
 
"[Gibson] has created a completely adequate modern facsimile of the classic romantic epic." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Braveheart (1995)76%
/
 
"The jokes are pretty good, the premise is just off-the-wall enough to keep you tittering." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)32%
/
 
"Bull Durham, the new baseball movie starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon, eases up on you, lazy as a cloud, and carries you off in a mood of exquisite delight." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bull Durham (1988)100%
/
 
"The most substantive, accessible -- not to mention the funniest -- film that the prolific writer-director has made in years." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bullets Over Broadway (1994)96%
/
 
"It's sweet, likable and even vaguely hip." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Camp Nowhere (1994)10%
/
3.5/5
 
"It's a brutal, demonic film with a grip like a vise; it grabs you early, its fingers around your throat, and never lets go." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Cape Fear (1991)76%
/
 
"Careful, the hilariously bizarre new film from Canadian director Guy Maddin, is like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension -- a strange artifact that time forgot." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Careful (1992)80%
/
 
"There's an unexpected innocence mixed in here that helps to blunt the pointed raunchiness (and political incorrectness) of the subject." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
CB4 (1993)63%
/
 
"It's not a challenging movie or an original one, but it does have its pleasures -- most notably a radiant, soulful debut performance from Driver." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Circle of Friends (1995)77%
/
 
"While Cher and the other characters here may seem vacuous and spoiled, Heckerling -- who wrote the script as well -- is a gentle satirist." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Clueless (1995)83%
/
 
"A stunning combination of all-American boyishness and sweeping grandeur." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dances with Wolves (1990)77%
/
 
"Tantalizingly wicked -- watching it makes the color rise to your cheeks." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dangerous Liaisons (1988)93%
/
 
"The flash is still there, but Towne has added a layer of substance underneath, and in generous enough helpings that you can let the picture vamp you, ravage you, without hating yourself afterward." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Days of Thunder (1990)44%
/
 
"The first film about Vietnam to come to us free of bias, free of rhetoric." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dear America - Letters Home From Vietnam (1988)100%
/
 
"Basically, Demolition Man is a futuristic cop picture with slightly more imagination and wit than the typical example of the slash-and-burn genre." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Demolition Man (1993)61%
/
 
"First-rate American pulp -- fast, absorbing and substantive." -- Washington Post

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Do the Right Thing (1989)100%
/
4/5
 
"Making a movie about the life of Ed Wood certainly qualifies as an impossible dream, but Burton has pulled it off with wit, imagination and something amazingly close to grace." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Ed Wood (1994)90%
/
 
"Watching his film, you can feel the sheer joy that went into its creation." -- Washington Post
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
El Mariachi (1992)92%
/
