| 14% | Wholly Moses! (1980) |
An opportunistic attempt to cash in on the diminutive Moore's post-10 stardom by shamelessly ripping off the premise of The Life of Brian.‐ Time Out

| 80% | My Little Loves (Mes Petites Amoureuses) (1974) |
The tone is somewhat reminiscent of Malle in its attempt at an unsentimental depiction of the sexual awakening of a 13-year-old boy; but ultimately it's more tough-minded.‐ Time Out

| No Score Yet | Ankur (1974) |
Benegal's first narrative feature mostly recalls the modest realism of Satyajit Ray.‐ Time Out

| 92% | The Lion in Winter (1968) |
Harvey's direction is intelligent enough, though the reduction of power struggles to fits of personal pique -- where the fate of nations hangs in the balance -- becomes a little irritating. Enjoyable for its two lead performances, however. ‐ Time Out

| 95% | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) |
Whether you swallow it or not, see it for a handful of totally unexpected visual jokes, worth the price of admission alone.‐ Time Out

| 93% | Shoot the Piano Player (Tirez sur le pianiste) (1962) |
The story is by turns comic and pathetic, often flashing midstream from one mood to the other, and Aznavour's performance as the wounded hero is a masterstroke of casting.‐ Time Out

| 90% | The Year of Living Dangerously (1983) |
A curiously languid affair, rather than the breathless Costa-Gavras-style thriller which was the least one might have expected from this kind of material.‐ Time Out
