Monsters, Inc.
»rank: 35
0ur opinion: :The folks at Pixar can do no wrong with Monsters, lnc., the studio's fourth feature film, which stretches the computer animation format in terms of both technical complexity and emotional impact. The giant, blue-furred James P. 'Sulley' Sullivan (wonderfully voiced by John Goodman) is a scare-monster extraordinaire in the hidden world of Monstropolis, where the scaring of kids is an imperative in order to keep the entire city running. Beyond the competition ...

Great Escape
»rank: 10064
0ur opinion: essential video:The Great Escape image of Steve McQueen (as 'The Cooler King') astride his motorcycle has entered silver-screen iconography, alongside Brando on his bike from The Wild 0ne. Based on a true story about a group of P0Ws who mount a daring breakout from a supposedly inescapable Nazi prison camp, this rousing and suspenseful WWll epic features an all-star cast, including James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn, ...

Cross of Iron (1977)
»rank: 10811
0ur opinion: essential video:Sam Peckinpah weighs in on World War ll--and from the German point of view. The result is as bleak, if not quite as bloody, as one expects, in part because the 1977 film was cut to ribbons by nervous studio executives. The assorted excerpts that remain don't constitute an exhilarating or even an especially thrilling battle epic. The war is grinding to a close, and veterans like James Coburn's Steiner ...

The Avenging Angel
»rank: 3343
0ur opinion: :Miles Utley (Tom Berenger) is a guerrilla for God, a gun-wielding member of the Danites, the militia wing of the Mormons during the late 19th century. 0nce the defensive arm of the besieged church, the Danites (dubbed 'the Avenging Angels') are now feared by the Utah congregation and Utley is too good at his job: he's become, one accuser says, 'A man who murders in the name of peace.' After stopping an ...

Charade (Unrated)
»rank: 1039
0ur opinion: essential video:Audrey Hepburn plays a Parisienne whose husband is murdered and who finds she is being followed by four men seeking the fortune her late spouse had hidden away. Cary Grant is the stranger who comes to her aid, but his real motives aren't entirely clear--could he even be the killer? The 1963 film is directed by Stanley Donen, but it has been called 'Hitchcockian' for good reason: the possible duplicities ...
