- DirectorOliver StoneStarsKevin CostnerGary OldmanJack LemmonNew Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison discovers there's more to the Kennedy assassination than the official story.Very smart and very skilled direction. Responsible and fairly thorough in its treatment of the scandalous facts behind the assassination and coverups. Expert mixture of the elements of drama, documentary and politics. A definite personal favorite of mine.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.The classic must-see masterpiece. See p. 200 of THE MAKING OF KUBRICK's 2001. Kubrick states that this outline of the film's meaning (by Margaret Stackhouse) is "the most intelligent I've read anywhere...What a first-rate intelligence!" Other great Kubrick: Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange.
- DirectorJeff BalsmeyerStarsRhys IfansMiranda OttoJustine ClarkeAn Aussie becomes a national sensation when he lifts off in his deck chair tied to balloons.A lovable film, with a a truly great and inspired script. The acting and direction are excellent. The DVD features are highly-recommended.

When interrogated under suspicion of cheating, he revisits his past, revealing how he had all the answers.Highest recommendation! Danny Boyle is at the peak of his directing craft. See also his gem 'Millions' and also '127 hours'.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsTom HanksBill PaxtonKevin BaconNASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.Incredibly exciting. Faithful to true events of Apollo 13. Real weightlessness, inspired story. Ron Howard, Tom Hanks get my highest achievement award.
- DirectorPatricio GuzmánStarsAbilio FernándezSalvador AllendeThe chronicle of the political tension in Chile in 1973 and of the violent counter revolution against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende.*** The Battle of Chile Dir: Patricio Guzman. This is a courageous work of art. Ideological conflicts are made clear to see. One of the most heinous chapters in American history is laid bare. You will understand the heartbreak as the coordinated fascist counterrevolution succeeds. Truly educational, emotional, and real. Skillfully composed. Highest rating! See all 3 parts, especially number 1.
- DirectorPatricio GuzmánStarsSalvador AllendeCarlos AltamiranoFernando CastilloFilmmaker Patricio Guzmán tracks the deterioration of Salvador Allende's position following the attempted coup d'état of 29 June 1973, and analyzes the 10 weeks before Augusto Pinochet's CIA-backed seizure of power.
- DirectorPatricio GuzmánStarsSalvador AllendeAbilio FernándezErnesto MalbranThis film investigates the factory worker's response to the insurrection, as well as Chile's socialist aspirations for the future. The camera captures the optimism in the industrial working class before Pinochet's US-backed coup d'état.
- DirectorMichael MooreStarsMichael MooreGeorge W. BushBen AffleckMichael Moore's view on what happened to the United States after September 11 and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.A masterful presentation of fact, opinion, uneasy humor and real drama in the name of peace and sanity. Moore's best film, and the one that should have gotten the Academy Award. (Bowling for Columbine, which did get the oscar, was also deserving.)
- DirectorRoger DonaldsonStarsKevin CostnerGene HackmanSean YoungA coverup and witchhunt occur after a politician accidentally kills his mistress.A classic suspense thriller extremely well-done.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsDanny GloverWhoopi GoldbergOprah WinfreyA tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie, an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry.Inspired and inspiring. Sad and endearing. Genuine. The first proof that Spielberg has a great human touch; later proven to the max in Schindler's List, etc.
- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsKeith CarradineKaren BlackRonee BlakleyOver the course of a few hectic days, numerous interrelated people prepare for a political convention.Ambitious and intelligent. Ensemble cast. Colorful & complex script about the angst of America at a particular time in our cultural history. Ronee Blakely is great.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletBilly ZaneA seventeen-year-old aristocrat falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.One of the top romantic films of all time. Exciting, ingenious script. Direction, effects, acting, music all first-rate or higher.
- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsElliott GouldNina van PallandtSterling HaydenPrivate investigator Philip Marlowe helps a friend out of a jam, but in doing so gets implicated in his wife's murder.Underrated gem. Elliot Gould, Henry Gibson. Classic and definitive anti-hero.

- DirectorLawrence KasdanStarsWilliam HurtKathleen TurnerRichard CrennaDuring an extreme heatwave, a beautiful Florida woman and a seedy lawyer engage in an affair while plotting the murder of her rich husband.A very successful crime drama thriller that gets good sexual tension out of the leads, especially Kathleen Turner.
- DirectorJane CampionStarsHolly HunterHarvey KeitelSam NeillIn the mid-19th century a mute woman is sent to New Zealand along with her young daughter and prized piano for an arranged marriage to a farmer, but is soon lusted after by a farm worker.A dark and challenging script, artfully and convincingly done. Great piano/orchestral score of Michael Nyman is the backbone.
- DirectorAndrew StantonStarsBen BurttElissa KnightJeff GarlinIn the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.Truly wonderful and creative. Succeeds with a wacky and offbeat plot device. Technically great.
- DirectorJohn LasseterStarsTom HanksTim AllenDon RicklesA cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom.Over-the-top creative, alive and great. Fresh, funny and surprisingly touching. Full of both action and emotion. The follow-up was possibly equally as good.
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.A masterpiece. Won all 5 major oscars. Notable performance by Brad Dourif and the rest of a perfect ensemble. Milos Forman's best film. Very wonderful Nicholson. Inspired. A completely successful work of art.
- DirectorCosta-GavrasStarsYves MontandIrene PapasJean-Louis TrintignantThe public murder of a prominent politician and doctor amid a violent demonstration is covered up by military and government officials. A tenacious magistrate is determined not to let them get away with it.*** Dir: Costa-Gavras. Classic political thriller based on the outrageous real events regarding the fascists in Greece. Highly recommended.
- DirectorErrol MorrisStarsRandall AdamsDavid HarrisGus RoseA film that successfully argued that a man was wrongly convicted for murder by a corrupt justice system in Dallas County, Texas.Incredible in every way. Gripping, outrageous, unnerving, fascinating. Maybe my favorite documentary. Errol Morris makes documentary history.
- DirectorMark LewisStarsTip ByrneH.W. KerrGlen IngramA documentary detailing the spread of Hawaiian sugar-cane toads through Australia in a botched effort to introduce them as counter pests.*** Dir: Mark Lewis. Quirky, funny, bizarre, with a very serious message about ill-informed tampering with nature's balance.
- DirectorHarold RamisStarsBill MurrayAndie MacDowellChris ElliottA narcissistic, self-centered weatherman finds himself in a time loop on Groundhog Day.A deep and interesting film masquerading as just fun entertainment. The premise is pure genius and is executed perfectly. One of my all-time favorite films.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.Definitive and classic. Mind-bending plot, well-organized script and perfect direction.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.This is Cameron's sequel to his own 'Terminator'. It's one of my nominees for the most exciting action movie of all. A directorial tour de force by Cameron, maybe even surpassing his incredible direction of 'Aliens' (sequel to Ridley Scott's 'Alien')
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenJanet MargolinMarcel HillaireThe life and times of Virgil Starkwell, inept bank robber.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenLouise LasserCarlos MontalbánWhen a bumbling New Yorker is dumped by his activist girlfriend, he travels to a tiny Latin American nation and becomes involved in its latest rebellion.*** D: Woody Allen

- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.*** D: Hayao Miyazaki. Another great accomplishment by Miyazaki. This and Howl's Moving Castle are "must see".
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsDiane KeatonGeraldine PageKristin GriffithThree sisters find their lives spinning out of control in the wake of their parents' sudden, unexpected divorce.*** Dir: Woody Allen. Allen's first completely serious film was slow and depressing. He overdid the somber tone.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.Classic story-telling in which the elements of direction, writing, acting and effects all came together in an almost inspired way.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.An extension of the classic story-telling of the "first" Star Wars. Plot thickens nicely, and the action and effects don't let up.
- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.Lucas screwed up on this 3rd episode.

- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsKeith CarradineShelley DuvallJohn SchuckWhen two men break out of prison, they join up with another and restart their criminal ways, robbing banks across the South.Classic Altman, highly recommended.

- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsTim RothPaul RhysAdrian BrineThe familiar tragic story of Vincent van Gogh is broadened by focusing as well on his brother Theodore, who helped support Vincent.

- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsWoody HarrelsonEmily MortimerBen KingsleyA Transsiberian train journey from China to Moscow becomes a thrilling chase of deception and murder when an American couple encounters a mysterious pair of fellow travelers.Gripping, very well-directed film.

- DirectorMichelangelo AntonioniStarsJack NicholsonMaria SchneiderJenny RunacreUnable to find the war he's been asked to cover, a frustrated war correspondent takes the risky path of co-opting the identity of a dead arms-deal acquaintance.Good, but curiously not very memorable.
