|---|---|---|---|
| 3/5 | 49% | Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) |
With so much money and talent at work here, though, this latest incarnation of the legend is considerably smaller than the sum of its parts.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 74% | Ghost (1990) |
One of the finest (and weepiest) love stories ever to hit the big screen, Ghost is a a fundamental human tale that touches the hardest heart.‐ Empire Magazine

| 2/5 | 37% | Twins (1988) |
The film feels, rather than the solid comedy it is, like a massive missed opportunity.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 81% | Driving Miss Daisy (1989) |
It gets to its hugely emotional destination without ever having to put the foot down; a poignant and provocative road movie.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 89% | Misery (1990) |
From start to harrowing finish, it is blissfully apparent that Rob Reiner can indeed turn his hand to virtually anything.‐ Empire Magazine

| 5/5 | 80% | Casino (1995) |
It may not be Scorsese's greatest work, but this guy feeling a little off-colour is still far, far better than most people on fighting-fit form. It only gets more impressive as times goes on.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 81% | Batman Returns (1992) |
Burton continues to capture the essence of the Batman legend and more importantly his audiences imagination.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 90% | Lady and the Tramp (1955) |
With cracking music, a rollicking pace and dialogue that stands up to scrutiny, Lady and the Tramp really is among Walt's very best.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 87% | Fly Away Home (1996) |
It's a genuine delight and a definite thumbs aloft for kids of about six upwards.‐ Empire Magazine

| 3/5 | 85% | Anastasia (1997) |
A charming little movie, nothing to write home about but a perfectly acceptable way to while away a rainy Sunday afternoon with the child, or children, in your life.‐ Empire Magazine

| 5/5 | 68% | The Crucible (1996) |
In this almost perfect screen adaptation, the lingering question is the most important one: what caused such madness?‐ Empire Magazine

|
| 4/5 | 72% | Falling Down (1993) |
While the morality of D-Fens methods are questionable, there's a resonance about his reaction to everyday annoyances, and Michael Douglas' hypnotic performance makes it memorable.‐ Empire Magazine
