Heartbreak Ridge
»rank: 8124
0ur opinion: essential video:The controversial, Reagan-era invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops is, oddly enough, at the center of this initially interesting story of a seasoned Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) routinely insulted by younger officers for being a symbol of the war that America 'lost' in Vietnam. Looking for both a victory and a little redemption, Eastwood's character trains a squadron of scrappy pups and turns them into fighting grunts, just in time to follow White House orders and take the little island. Marsha Mason plays ...

The Mill on the Floss
»rank: 23250
0ur opinion: :Emily Watson is luminous and heartbreaking as the brilliant, stifled Maggie in the 1997 TV production of The Mill on the Floss. All her life, young Maggie has heard 'You're far too clever for a woman,' with her deep intellectual curiosity and thirst for knowledge. But in 19th century England, the options for clever women were few--and many believe this story, by George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans), was a thinly disguised autobiography of Eliot/Evans herself. 'l want there to be great things, beautiful things, in ...

Nobody's Baby (2001)
»rank: 49610
0ur opinion: :Nobody's Baby combines the kidnapping high jinks of Raising Arizona with the sheer goofiness of Dumb and Dumber. Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Buford (Gary 0ldman, channeling Michael Jeter with scraggly hair and moustache), like characters in the crazed comedies of the Brothers Coen and Farrelly, are as kindhearted as they are softheaded. The two grew up in the same orphanage and have been like brothers ever since. Due more to stupidity than malicious intent, most of their adult lives have been spent behind bars. After ...

Funny Bones
»rank: 44741
0ur opinion: essential video:Funny Bones, directed by Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song), is a weird but intriguing comedy with a particularly dark edge. 0liver Platt plays a would-be comedian, the son of a major comedy star (Jerry Lewis); Dad's reputation even overshadows his son's Las Vegas debut. After that flop the son tries to go back to his roots and heads for his father's launch pad in Blackpool, England. There, he meets his previously unknown half-brother (Lee Evans), a bizarre comedy savant who teaches him a ...
