An intelligent and funny comedy despite its somewhat dated trappings. Well worth a look.

A stunning humanist tapestry which should be seen by any self-respecting film fan.

An unashamedly rather corny and predicable affair - albeit in the finest and most heartfelt manner possible.

Quite a different take on WWII to that offered by most films focussing on this period in history and is well worth watching largely for that reason.

Khartoum may have its flaws but it’s worth a watch if you enjoy old epic movies with thousands of extras in each shot.

A highly enjoyable 1960s time capsule with a title song which you will struggle to get out of your head for days.

Seems to be trying so hard to be part of a larger story arc that it ends up having so little to offer the casual viewer in its own right.

This surreal, semi-autobiographical curiosity won’t appeal to everyone, for sure. Still, it’s of interest to fans of 1960s British cinema...

Too flawed to be ranked up there with the likes of Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes or, for that matter, Peeping Tom. Nonetheless, at the same time, it has enough worth to deserve better than the near-obscurity in which it has languished over the years.

A chillingly confirmatory cementation of what has gone wrong with the United States today.

Couldn’t possibly terrify anyone old enough to watch it but it’s cheap and cheerful Italian-made trash regardless.

You’d have to be a member of a pretty specific audience to enjoy this one. While stylishly made, it’s little more than a cinematic wallow in the gutter.

I was left somewhat underwhelmed by Shampoo despite its great cast, interesting production design and occasional laughs.

Emerges as a well-crafted action-drama with enough of a socially-conscious edge to lend palpable substance to its considerable style.

In the end, despite my own reservations about the central protagonist, Rushmore emerges as an impeccably-designed and detail-rich film, positively soaked in quirky charm.

A touching, modest movie. While some viewers may find it to be a little lacking in real dramatic fireworks, it’s rewarding for those who take the time to let its bittersweet depiction of those living on the margins of society soak in.

A truly affecting and provocative masterpiece, while still possessing its own grimly surreal entertainment value as an action-adventure.

While Project A Part II isn’t quite as perfectly-formed as its predecessor was, it’s more ambitious and spectacular.

The plot is decidedly unbridled and free-wheeling, throwing itself from one exhilarating setpiece to another with pure carefree abandon.
