Mad Max: Fury Road
(2015)

The closest Miller (or anyone else for that matter) has come to capturing the sense of wonder, awe and energy that he did with The Road Warrior

It is impossible to enter into any discussion without acknowledging that this is probably the greatest name to a sequel that has ever been given in the history of cinema.

Alice in Wonderland
(1966)
|
Kevin Carr
|
There is a place for the BBC's Alice in Wonderland, but for me, it's more for historical significance and a quite impressive gathering of respected actors in one film.

Alice in Wonderland
(1951)
|
Kevin Carr

Alice's world is far loonier and mad - and has more teeth. It was a fine departure from the fairy tales of Cinderella and Snow White.

It nails the romantic comedy spoof perfectly, to the point that even if you hate rom coms you can still enjoy it for its skewering of them.

Joy Ride 3: Roadkill

With no hope for the characters, there's no emotional investment in a horror film, and it then becomes and expensive albeit creative fake snuff film.

The Birdcage

At its core, it is about human relationships. They're extreme relationships, and they're cross-wired to get an electric reaction, but they're real characters nonetheless.
