      Posted Jun 18, 2002
      		Un Chien Andalou (1929) Keith H. Brown The result of an amalgamation of the dreams of a madman (Dali) and a genius (Buñuel), Un Chien Andalou shocked the world three quarters of a decade ago and continues to do so today.
      Posted Apr 20, 2002
      		The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) Keith H. Brown An unusual, magical, cinematically brilliant movie that deserves to be seen.
      Posted Jul 24, 2001
      		Nosferatu (1922) Keith H. Brown F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror still has the power to chill the viewer, due in no small part to the amazing Max Schreck in the title role.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Rope (1948) Keith H. Brown Rope remains worth seeing, for its difference from cinema in general and from the rest of Hitchcock's work in particular.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Jackie Brown (1997) Keith H. Brown A classy package and an interesting auteur piece.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Fight Club (1999) Keith H. Brown One of the best films of the last decade.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Wings of Desire (1987) Keith H. Brown The delicate way that Wenders' articulates feelings of loss, alienation, and the first twinges of love let the film transcend its historical place.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Seventh Seal (1957) Keith H. Brown This is a film which absolutely deserves its status as a cinematic masterpiece and an opportunity to see it on a big screen should not be missed.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Peeping Tom (1960) Keith H. Brown Critics and audiences in 1960 were unprepared for Peeping Tom's relentless self-reflexive examination of the voyeurism and sadism explicit in the experience of watching movies.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Crossfire (1947) Keith H. Brown An intriguing combination of a common noir theme with the liberal-minded message picture.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Down by Law (1986) Iain Harral As usual, Jarmusch comes up with something stylish, funny, and strangely touching.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Boogie Nights (1997) Keith H. Brown Anderson draws us in subtly, using the perhaps-surprising amount of humour inherent in his material.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Evil Dead 2 (1987) Keith H. Brown Arguably the best horror-comedy ever made.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Scream (1996) Keith H. Brown If there's a problem with Scream it is that its very success dooms it to spawn a wave of cash-in imitations, few of which will exhibit their predecessors skill and intelligence.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Night of the Living Dead (1968) Keith H. Brown Shocks come from the way in which Romero repeatedly presents a clichd situations in which we think we know what's going on, only for Romero to pull out the rug from underneath, thereby producing a greater shock.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Quiz Show (1994) Neil Chue Hong Characterised by fine performances and sharp dialogue, Quiz Show is a much more piercing (and entertaining) view of American ideals than Forrest Gump or Apollo 13.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) Neil Chue Hong It's trash, but it's masterful trash.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		M (1931) Keith H. Brown M is one of director Lang's many greats.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Seven Samurai (1954) Keith H. Brown Perhaps Akira Kurosawa's greatest triumph, The Seven Samurai is a bona fide classic of cinema, a regular on many critics all-time top tens. So, if you haven't seen it before, why not?
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) Keith H. Brown [A] B movie classic.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Killing (1956) Keith H. Brown A brilliant film, and one well worth seeing -- whether as an example of what Kubrick was capable of doing with limited resources, a classic film noir, or one of those many movies which Tarantino has liberally drawn from.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Throne of Blood (1957) Keith H. Brown A prime example of cinematic cross-cultural pollination.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Casino (1995) Keith H. Brown Scorsese and co. will never make a bad film, only another one.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Germany Year Zero (1948) Keith H. Brown A grim movie perhaps... but a great one: Rossellini provides a fitting end to both the trilogy and his 'pure' neo-realist period.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Some Like It Hot (1959) Malcolm Maclaren Some Like it Hot is possibly the most perfect comedy ever made...
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Notorious (1946) Keith H. Brown There is also, of course, virtuoso direction from the master.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Godfather, Part II (1974) Keith H. Brown Both a sequel and more than an equal to one of the greatest films of all time.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Beavis and Butt-head Do America (1996) Keith H. Brown It's like the TV series with all the sucky bits removed.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Barbarella (1968) Keith H. Brown It's not a film that tries to break barriers or provide deep and meaningful commentary on the nature and meaning of life -- it's a film which sets out to entertain and does so with considerable panache. What more do you need to know?
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Repulsion (1965) Keith H. Brown Repulsion is perhaps Polanski's and Deneuve's finest hours.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Yojimbo (1961) Keith H. Brown It is still clearly the work of a master film-maker, the level of care apparent in every shot being enough to lift Yojimbo out of the generic morass.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Apartment (1960) Malcolm Maclaren A razor-sharp satire on the morals and ethics of the Real World, The Apartment is a superb film.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, but Your Teeth Are in My Neck (1967) Keith H. Brown An affectionate parody of the Hammer horror films we all know and love from late-night TV.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Heavenly Creatures (1994) Keith H. Brown The two leads play their parts brilliantly, convincing in both their innocence and their malevolence.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Enter the Dragon (1973) Keith H. Brown Certainly one of the baddest movies there is -- in every sense of the term.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) Keith H. Brown Everything in Umbrellas is incredibly bright and colourful...Yet, behind this surface, a rather more cynical worldview is apparent.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Raging Bull (1980) Keith H. Brown Widely acclaimed as both the greatest film of the 1980s and of its director, Martin Scorsese, this is one of a select handful of films that everyone should see.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Curse of the Cat People (1944) Keith H. Brown Often unjustly neglected in favour of its predecessor, The Curse of the Cat People is a great film in its own right, perhaps second only to the magical realist The Spirit of the Beehive as an evocation of the horrors of childhood.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Elevator to the Gallows (1958) Keith H. Brown A stylish noir-ish crime drama boasting, amongst other things, an improvised Miles Davis soundtrack.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Alphaville (1965) Keith H. Brown Godard's avoidance of conventional science fiction architecture, in favour of what was actually available within Paris 1965, is his way of commenting on the city, what it was doing to its inhabitants, and what they were in danger of becoming.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Wild Strawberries (1957) Keith H. Brown Quite simply a must-see for the serious filmgoer, offering a perfect introduction to the work of one of the world's greatest directors.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Dead Alive (1992) Keith H. Brown If you are a little squeamish then this is not the film for you, however those of a nervous disposition need not worry as Jackson is definitely playing for laughs.
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		The Last Seduction (1994) Keith H. Brown John Dahl has established himself as a candidate for the title 'current king of the neo-noir.'
      Posted Jan 01, 2000
      		Metropolis (1927) Keith H. Brown The original dystopic movie, the first sci-fi epic; Lang's skilful juxtaposition of Germanic gothicism with Art Deco resulted in a brilliant motion picture, a classic in every sense.
