    Two-Lane Blacktop
    Two-Lane Blacktop should have established Hellman as one of the great directors of his generation. Instead, its box-office failure made him an enduring cult figure.
  2. Walkabout
    Roeg revels in the hallucinatory, creating a wilderness that exists as much in the mind as it does the land.
  3. McCabe & Mrs. Miller
    If anything, Robert Altman's self-styled "anti-western" looks even richer, stranger and more daring than it did when it first appeared back in 1971.

    The Anderson Tapes
    A clever caper movie. [08 Oct 2011, p.46]

    They Might Be Giants
    Offbeat comedy-drama about a former New York judge convinced he is Sherlock Holmes. Amiable, if a little too clever for its own good. [04 Jan 2000, p.36]

    Plaza Suite
    Schizophrenic performance from the estimable Walter Matthau, playing the central characters of three Neil Simon stories set in New York's Plaza Hotel. His barely contained rage as the dad who finds his daughter refusing to come out of the bathroom on her wedding day is particularly good, but the jokes are thinly rationed. [19 Nov 2005, p.53]
    • The Guardian
  7. Get Carter
    There's no mistaking its chilling charisma and style. [11 Jun 1999, p.15]
    • The Guardian
  8. El Topo
    There is a tenous narrative logic - in which Jodorowsky himself, dressed in cowboy black, must gun down four desert-dwelling killers - which gives the film a measure of watchability. But it's hardly deep.
  9. Husbands
    A brilliantly textured film to be savoured.
