Watch It
»rank: 6223
0ur opinion: :Peter Gallagher and Jon Tenney are a pair of cousins with some simmering resentments left from childhood, so when Gallagher moves back to Chicago and in with Tenney to sort his life out, he leaves himself open for a variety of dirty tricks. Tenney shares his house with other roommates where the watchwords are 'watch it!'--meaning that everyone is fair game for increasingly cruel practical jokes. Some funny material gives Tom Sizemore ...

American Beauty (The Awards Edition)
»rank: 8609
0ur opinion: essential video:From its first gliding aerial shot of a generic suburban street, American Beauty moves with a mesmerizing confidence and acuity epitomized by Kevin Spacey's calm narration. Spacey is Lester Burnham, a harried Everyman whose midlife awakening is the spine of the story, and his very first lines hook us with their teasing fatalism--like Sunset Boulevard's Joe Gillis, Burnham tells us his story from beyond the grave. lt's an audacious start ...

Dreamchild
»rank: 8541
0ur opinion: :This 1985 film from Britain offers up the only possible reason the extraordinary British writer Dennis Potter could be involved with a project also featuring the talents of Jim Henson's Muppets. The subject is the awkward relationship between Charles Dodgson (lan Holm), better known to the world as Lewis Carroll, and Alice Liddell (played by Coral Browne as an adult), as it was in the 19th century when Liddell inspired Carroll to ...

Mr Deeds
»rank: 10427
0ur opinion: :Following the flop of Little Nicky, Adam Sandler returned to safe territory in Mr. Deeds... and made Nicky look inspired by comparison. A loose remake of Frank Capra's 1936 classic Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, this dumbed-down version finds Sandler in the Gary Cooper role, inheriting a vast fortune and a corporate empire, foiling a greedy executive (Peter Gallagher), and winning the heart of an undercover reporter (Winona Ryder) who's been mocking ...

Pulp Fiction (Coll)
»rank: 3482
0ur opinion: essential video:With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'0r at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or ...

Summer Lovers
»rank: 8223
0ur opinion: :After the breezy successes of Grease and The Blue Lagoon, director Randal Kleiser made what can only be described as one of the greatest guilty-pleasure movies of all time. Summer Lovers is a bubble-brained movie if ever there was one, involving a love triangle between characters who have all the depth of a Calvin Klein commercial; but you don't care because the movie's so irresistibly alluring. Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher play ...
