Despite its compelling nature, Greenaway’s film is not always an easy one to sit through.

This Tom Clancy thriller gets the proper screen treatment here with this first-rate cast and direction by one of the genre’s best: Die Hard director John McTiernan.

This stirring historical re-creation depicts the experiences of America's first unit of black soldiers in the Civil War and the young Northerner who leads them.

Adapted by Katsuhiro Otomo from his sprawling, post-apocalyptic cyberpunk tale of government conspiracies, street gangs, and psychic powers that can save or destroy the world, it's still an all-time classic, and has never looked better.

Jim Jarmusch applies his minimalist style to the margins of Memphis as seen through the experiences of three sets of foreigners. Great casting and occasional moments of grace.

Marks the end of an era of good -- even very good -- Disney animated features, and the start (one hopes) of a new period of great ones.

Certainly one of the best drug movies ever made.... Great performances make this dispassionate study a memorable experience.

It was written by military-horror storyteller David Rabe (Sticks and Bones, Streamers), and features outstanding performances by this ensemble ñ especially Fox and Penn.

I'll maim, chop, slash, and I'll kill, Just as I please.

What we have here is a film with no respect for the laws of nature, the laws of man, or the intelligence of the viewer.

Jackson does it all in this movie: writes, directs, stars, produces, and designs the makeup.

Occasionally a bit preachy with its critique of advertising or the Eighties commodity mindset, this one's still relevant, and that's because Robinson isn't just trashing tactics -- he's trashing an entire industry.

Teen Witch is an all-around delicious flick, both despite and because of the afterschool special quality of its message.

Director Michael Lehmann made a stunning debut with this sharp satire of teen cliques.

Everything Reeves has done since always has the whiff of "Ted" about it. Party on, dudes.

Danger's never clear and present, but rather a convention. Simply put, Oliver & Company didn't work for me not because I'm many years past my sixth birthday but because it never scared me into forgetting that fact.

Shameless E.T. knockoff.

It's the same old story, seven times around, you just can't keep a good corpse down. ’Spite a massacre the film before, To Crystal Lake, they keep coming more. And one by one, they end up dead – a sliitted throat; an axe in the head.

Stunning opulence dazzles the eye.

The film's triumphantly perverse climax, in fact, is just that: a three-tiered split-screen of three couples shagging that resembles nothing so much as a national flag and is set to a rendition of "My Girl" sung by a black trio dressed as colonial soldiers. When it hits such giddily subversive high notes, Sammy and Rosie ... transcends provocation and bursts into ecstatic revelation.

A smart, creepy, violent, funny, and modern vampire movie that benefits from some wonderful performances, a stunning visual texture, and music by Tangerine Dream.

Reiner abandons his previous movie's sense of farce and satire for much broader and more innocuous comedy.

This skillfully creepy film tells the story of some housemates who experience unwelcome visits from a partially decomposed former resident who rises from beneath the floorboards. Seems he wants the flesh and blood of the new residents in order to settle some old scores.

But 'neath its candy-coated shell lies several solid grains of truth -- not to mention some fab choreography, a solid-gold title, and a couple of pristine examples (in Swayze and Grey) of what is meant by the term "career-making performance."

This crude live-action takeoff on the Cabbage Patch phenomenon ought to have had star Anthony Newley humming "Stop the Movie, I Want to Get Off."

Great effects and a nasty undercurrent drive this vehicle.

Beautifully photographed by Frederick Elmes, the visuals are often at odds with the barreness at the movie's core.

The film's sense of family values will make your head hurt and the chase scenes will set your noggin spinning.
