| My Best Friend's Wedding |
Funny, touching at times, and great music - a real feel-good
movie |
| The Shawshank Redemption |
Painful at times, but great depth. Spot Billy from 'Ally
McBeal' |
| Shakespeare in Love |
An unashamed romp, but intellectually satisfying and desperately
funny at the same time. |
| Das Boot |
One of the best war films ever, the tension rivals anything
Hitchcock ever produced. Best seen in the original (German) version. |
| Top Gun |
I know, it's terrible really, but it's full of boys' toys,
music & nice girls - reviving. See also Jerry Maguire - another Tom
Cruise film which is lifted by the other performances. |
| The Princess Bride |
Romantic, fairy tale nonsense - wonderful. |
| Roman holiday |
Audrey Hepburn never looked more beautiful. |
| The Apartment |
Jack Lemon in his best role, and Shirley MacLaine is delightful |
| It's a wonderful life |
A classic James Stewart movie, a bit weepy at the end, but
carries it off superbly |
| Malcolm |
Off-beat Australian comedy of a young man who
understands trams better than people, and gets thrown together with and
ex-con and his girlfriend. You'll love the 'car' |
| Truly, madly deeply |
Wonderful performances from Alan RIckman and Juliet
Stevenson. See also The Sixth Sense for an
outstandingly sensitive performance from hard man Bruce Willis |
| Michael |
A smashing film in its own right (don't be put off by the
start - it grows on you), also included as a tribute to William Hurt (the accidental
tourist ) and John Travolta (worth seeing in Pulp Fiction) |
