	"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%

	"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	Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)	89%
	"A movie made by filmmaker working in sync with his times -- an exciting, disturbing, provocative film." -- 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%
	"One of those rare bits of movie marginalia that are entirely without merit and, still, a pleasure to sit through." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Endless Summer II, The: The Journey Continues (1994)	60%
