The Fifth Element

A visually-stunning mess.

The Virgin Suicides

A sign of better things to come as Sofia Coppola loses her directorial virginity with this sad, absorbing adaptation.

Life as a House

It’s all a bit daft and far-fetched, but the accomplished end product is as safe as houses.

Not Another Teen Movie

Let’s hope there’s not another one.

Forbidden Planet

The best sci-fi movie of all time! And if you believe that, you’ll also believe that Robby’s a real robot.

The Last Shot

This chortlesome Hollywood send-up might not have found its way into many cinemas, but it locates the funny bone more often than not.

Goodfellas

Bad-a-bing, bad-a-boom! Add this eye-poppingly brilliant Scorsese masterpiece to your DVD collection and you’ll have it made.

Dear Frankie

This simple-but-effective weepy ensures there won’t be a dry eye left in the chippie.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

It might have been Hollywoodized beyond any conceivable level of factual accuracy, but it remains one of the best Westerns ever made – and a whole lot of fun to watch, too.
