Comments
The Godfather
Flawlessly acted, atmospherically precise – ageless and profound.
Monster
One of the greatest screen performances of all time from Charlize Theron and inspired direction from Patty Jenkins.
Cloud Atlas
A huge creative risk from all involved but a dazzling achievement that will one day be as lauded as it has been under-appreciated.
Black Narcissus
A technical triumph, and one of the most potently erotic and dangerous atmospheres ever created in film.
Raging Bull
Complete cinema. Monumental in its visual and emotional impact. Virtuosic in its execution. An undisputed masterpiece.
The Exorcist
Filled with dread, perhaps the most unsettling horror film of the 20th century.
Rashomon
Poetry and emotion at a level of intensity rarely found in cinema. Quite beautiful.
Citizen Kane
The original and the best. Hard to beat, impossible to ignore.
Cinematic chutzpah that takes your breath away. Creative confidence and risk on a gargantuan level.
Lady Bird
An exquisite lightness of touch disguises depth and tenderness that quietly overwhelm the viewer.
Do the Right Thing
A cinematic hand grenade. Intensity, heat and explosive political and social commentary. In-your-face cinema that stays in your heart.
