To Live (MGM World Films)
Gong Li, Niu Ben
MGM (Video & DVD), 2007
To Live, Huozhe - The Chinese Gone With The Wind
+ On the edge of my seat!
+ A masterpiece
I saw this film at the Curzon Cinema in London's West End in 1994. A soon as the first frame appeared I knew I was watching a Classic.
This Film has to be one of the all time greats. One reviewer called it "The Chinese Gone With The Wind" and I agree to a point.

Spirit of the Beehive - Criterion Collection
Fernando Fernán Gómez, Teresa Gimpera
Criterion, 2006
Through Ana's eyes: a masterpiece of childhood
+ Forbidden Game
+ Mysterious and allusive
Every once in a while I stumble upon a masterpiece. This is a masterpiece of childhood set in Franco's Spain in 1940. There are political allusions and asides that somehow escaped Franco's censors, or maybe they were indulged. It matters not because the bleak landscape surrounding the house with ...

A masterpiece from Lars von Trier...
+ about the DVDfilm/movie breaking the waves.......

One of the best films of 1996, this is a story of love that knows no boundaries, and of sacrifice. Emily Watson gives the performance of her career as Bess, a simple woman who has just married Jan, played by Stellan Skarsgard. Within the boundaries of their marriage, Bess discovers the gift of ...

This Is Spinal Tap (Special Edition)
Fran Drescher, Christopher Guest
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
If you don't laugh all the way through this movie...
+ CRITERION version: accept no substitute!
+ Still the Funniest Rockumentary Ever Created
... you're a preserved moose.
This is a masterpiece of satire and deliciously detailed comedy. It also bulges with some of the daftest, most accurate send-ups of how terrible rock lyrics often are - and how we've all bought the records by the ton! - an outrageously OTT Nigel Tufnel guitar-solo ...

This was the very first spanish speaking movie I purchased. I have since become an adict. I love the realism of the Mexican scenes. I love the reality of the young men's adventures. It's true that it is a "coming of age" type movie which depicts two young males adventurous beach trip with a ...

Repulsion
Catherine Deneuve, Helen Fraser
ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMS INC., 2005
A masterpiece!
+ Timeless Horror: As Cinematic as a Silent Film. As Modern as a Contemporary Film.
+ I liked it
I've seen "Repulsion" quite a few times over the years, and it never gets any less absorbing to watch in spite of knowing the outcome.
Catherine Denueve is incandescently beautiful in it but this all masks her real persona which I guess is shown in the early photograph of her when she was just a ...
