Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 93% 3/5 EDIT “It is a simple and well-known story but sadly this version overcomplicates it to its detriment.” – BBC.com Oct 7, 2008 Full Review The English Patient (1996) 86% 5/5 EDIT “A must see film for all lovers of cinema on a grand and sweeping scale.” – BBC.com Dec 17, 2001 Full Review Sliding Doors (1998) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Paltrow is delightful as the trendy Londoner running parallel lives and has a disturbingly accurate English accent.” – BBC.com Dec 10, 2001 Full Review 007 - You Only Live Twice (1967) 73% 2/5 EDIT “While Dahl clearly helped thrust Bond into a whole new world of villainy and technology, maybe his concepts were slightly ahead of themselves, or maybe he just tried too hard.” – BBC.com Jul 25, 2001 Full Review Sleepy Hollow (1999) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The pace and tension are both kept up throughout the film, aided and abetted by Danny Elfman's dramatic score and the remarkable visuals.” – BBC.com Jun 26, 2001 Full Review The Snowman (1982) 80% 4/5 EDIT “” – BBC.com Jun 13, 2001 Full Review Holiday Inn (1942) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Despite not being the success it could have been, this can still inspire a festive glow.” – BBC.com Apr 18, 2001 Full Review Staying Alive (1983) 3% 2/5 EDIT “This film constantly falls flat on its face.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) 72% 1/5 EDIT “As always the visual gags are more prevalent then the verbal ones, and are lit up in neon so you can't miss them.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Manhunter (1986) 90% 4/5 EDIT “This is a truly suspenseful, stylish thriller, sadly overlooked since the Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Falling Down (1993) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It is a worrying and unnerving reflection of our society, which will certainly make you wonder about the quality of life you strive to maintain.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review JFK (1991) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Oliver Stone has created a maelstrom of images here. Seamlessly blending real black and white footage of Kennedy's murder with his own re-staged scenes, and working the two together results in a film that can't decide which way to go.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 3/5 EDIT “This is a film which manages to capture some of the best qualities of Christmas in a surprisingly enjoyable format and will provide the whole family with large quantities of festive spirit.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Wedding Singer (1998) 72% 3/5 EDIT “At its best, it is a gentle, well-portrayed, feel good film.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Way of the Gun (2000) 46% 4/5 EDIT “A cross between Tarantino and Peckinpah, it combines an amusing, dark script with constant action.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review You Can Count on Me (2000) 95% 4/5 EDIT “” – BBC.com Apr 16, 2001 Full Review The Blair Witch Project (1999) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A film which was to become a victim of its own hype, The Blair Witch Project still stands out as an innovative piece of film-making.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% 3/5 EDIT “As far as a good old-fashioned story of historical oppression goes, it does sweep you up and entertain.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Nosferatu (1922) 97% 5/5 EDIT “While it clearly moves at a slower pace than most modern films, it is still one of the most beautiful and atmospheric horror pictures ever made.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 91% 5/5 EDIT “The power of this film cannot be denied, and once seen, it is not easily forgotten.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Scary Movie (2000) 51% 4/5 EDIT “This is not a film for the faint-hearted, it is an exercise in ribald humour, both scripted and visual, which will keep you laughing from start to finish.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
