Farewell My Lovely
»rank: 12819
0ur opinion: :0f all the Philip Marlowes, Robert Mitchum's in Farewell, My Lovely resonates most deeply. That's because this is Marlowe past his prime, and Mitchum imbues Raymond Chandler's legendary private detective with a sense of maturity as well as a melancholy spirit. And yet there's plenty of Mitchum's renowned self-deprecating humor and charismatic charm to remind us of his own iconic presence. As in the previous 1944 film version, Murder, My Sweet, Marlowe searches all over L.A. for the elusive girlfriend of ex-con Moose Malloy, a lovable giant ...

Emma (1997)
»rank: 10660
0ur opinion:Description:From the award-winning creative team behind A&E’s PRlDE AND PREJUDlCE comes another Jane Austen classic, the beloved EMMA. Kate Beckinsale (Last Days of Disco) stars in this wickedly delightful tale of love and matchmaking. :Similar to the equally excellent Valmont, this version of Jane Austen's classic novel had the misfortune of following a sumptuous big-star version with Gwyneth Paltrow, which was released the summer before. And, just as 1989's Valmont suffered comparisons with Dangerous Liaisons, inevitably these Emmas were held up next to one another. This delicious ...

Evil Under the Sun
»rank: 20058
0ur opinion: :Mostly for Poirot completists and admirers of then-trendy, all-star ensemble casts from the 197Os and early '8Os, Evil Under the Sun finds Peter Ustinov in his second outing as Agatha Christie's famous Belgian detective (three years after 1978's Death on the Nile). As the title promises, the action this time takes place on an Adriatic island (though Christie fans will surely balk at the switch from the novel's setting on the English coast), where a famous stage star (Diana Rigg) is murdered, and the list of likely ...

Although enthusiastic about selling himself to rich ladies for stud services, he ...
