Sabotage 1936, R)
Classic Hitchcock of the British period,equals the Lang and Hawks perfectionism in dark overtones and humidity crawling from beneath every corner.Homolka and Sidney are a supreme duet and although the film thrives with distracting propaganda during the pre-war period,this small diamond weaves Hitchcock's suspense with philosophy yet with the sly instinct of a jaguar. |

Ossessione 1943, Unrated) |
|
| 21 |
Shadow of a Doubt 1943, PG) |
|
| 22 |
The Song of Bernadette 1943, Unrated)
Fictionalized lives of well-respected names (usually) start off promising and by the end,a feeling of unaccomplished desire destroys the viewing pleasure. |
|
| 23 |
Arsenic and Old Lace 1944, Unrated) |
|
| 24 |
Henry V (The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France 1944, Unrated)
Olivier,the brave little toaster.Megalomaniac beyond good and evil,a person who pushed Shakespeare to the limits,and in his personal Henry V vision tarnishes the philosophy of the play.He probably knows we're in the movies so in spite of the rejuvenating colors and the chirping atmosphere,we are aware of the Shakespearean pathos somewhere in that clamor of fight. |
|
| 25 |
The Three Caballeros 1944, G) |
|
| 26 |
The Lost Weekend 1945, Unrated) |
|
| 27 |
A Walk in the Sun 1945, Unrated) |
|
| 28 |
The Best Years of Our Lives 1946, Unrated) |
|
| 29 |
Gilda 1946, PG)
Although I hate Rita Hayworth,that wasn't the big reason i chopped half a star.'46 had a couple of groundbreaking films like Great Expectations.Gilda is a passionately spirited film noir,dynamic and alluring.Of course it's a masterpiece but tiny tricks by a virtually talentless director don't help.The precise innovation instead for Gilda's extra points lies on Vidor's early experiments with shadows and different approaches of the actors.Something quite effective since he had a well-made story to deal with. |
|
| 30 |
Notorious 1946, Unrated) |
|
| 31 |
Gentleman's Agreement 1947, PG)
Anti-racist film evolving a perpetual egoism from Kazan's side,continuing relentlessly till we reach the culminating step with America,America.Whimsical and tragic in many circumstances,a picture where the major flaw stands on Dorothy McGuire's extravaganza.Holm is exceptional in a roller coaster part,Kazan's direction of his actors is always top-class. |
|
| 32 |
Monsieur Verdoux 1947, Unrated) |

| 33 |
Macbeth 1948, Unrated) |

Gun Crazy (Deadly Is the Female) 1949, R) |
|
| 39 |
Madeleine 1950, Unrated) |
|
| 40 |
Story of a Love Affair 1950, Unrated)
A film auteur,literally and profoundly.Anything that goes against him,will probably go against the post-modern cinematic language.The debut feature shows promise and mystery,taunting the wealth of the era and feeling sympathetic to low-life characters,including the detective.Action is replaced by spiritual hesitation,a well-maintained picture,too accessible for an Antonioni film. |
|
| 41 |
Where the Sidewalk Ends 1950, Unrated) |

|
| 52 |
Johnny Guitar 1954, PG) |
|
| 53 |
A Star Is Born 1954, PG)
It's this tiny difference like Kurosawa's Idiot which brings me to the point of applauding the boldness of this whimsical restoration,even without the missing bits and deleted scenes,Star is Born is placed amidst the unique triumphs of Cukor,"give me a reason to love you" as Portishead recently sang...(Mason is quite the charmer to be frank) |
|
| 54 |
La Strada (The Road) 1954, PG) |
|

The Night of the Hunter 1955, PG) |
|
| 56 |
Un condamné ŕ mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle oů il veut (A Man Escaped) 1956, Unrated) |
|
| 57 |
Giant 1956, G)
James Dean is in and out of the screen.The respective leads flash in an instant and if the terrific direction won't shun you,family epics aren't your thing.Stevens reaches pinnacle and as the sparkling tension of American civilized attention processes,we can always diminish those criticisms and enjoy the ruthless catapults of ranchers,crooks and brawlers. |
|
| 58 |
The King and I 1956, G) |
|
| 59 |
Aunt From Chicago 1960, Unrated) |

|
| 61 |
Touch of Evil 1958, PG-13) |
|
| 62 |
The Vikings 1958, Unrated)
The craft of Fleischer's adventures is the exploitation he slams in each and every film of his.Historical allusions often make ingenious appearances,aha!The difference however of the current production of "swords and sandals" is the cheesiness of it.Gladiator in front of Vikings is like a child sucking from its mother's breast!!!! |

Relitto, Il, (The Wastrel) 1961, Unrated) |
|
| 72 |
Sĺsom i en Spegel (Through A Glass Darkly) 1961, Unrated)Magnifico Bergman,a splendid anatomy of the human remorse and parental arrogance.God isn't a disbeliever rather the entity on our heroine's interior expedition.The Oscars awarded it foreign language film.So what?The best should have been the ultimate prize,but you see,it's a joke,language restrictions I suppose... |

The Jungle Book 1967, G) |
|
| 103 |
The Taming of the Shrew 1967, Unrated)
Zeffirelli at his hilltop symposium.Enticing and uplifting in most parts,Shakespeare would be utterly pleased from the final result no matter how theatrical it appears.There's faith on the endless bout of the sexes and a reconciliation in a (assured) comedic matter.Costumes and art direction are shining but what strikes most is the aggressive formation of...the couple's performance!!!A rich adaptation lacking that certain something for a complete 10! |

The Thomas Crown Affair 1968, R)
Jewison is accommodated with the frustrating social/racial clashes during the 60's-70's era rather heist films.Thomas Crown is a gentleman thief.The kind of type you know he's a deceiver and cares for specific things,something ms Anderson aka Dunaway is aware.Jewison orchestrates both of them as pawns of a chess and if the check mate isn't successful,his rich,sly crook is just as perfect as his introductory scene. |

Il Decameron (The Decameron) 1970, R) |
|
| 117 |
Five Easy Pieces 1970, R)
Another father-son relationship which unprecedentedly marks the end of 60's innocence for the U.S. and what is to be done has already started.On behalf of the conformists: do not watch this movie,it's too skeptic.Oh,am I snobbish now?Well,go to Pattons and Rockys.If these were the American 70's,I will pledge for cinematic voodoo.Complain about nothingness for it's the best element of Seven! |
|
| 118 |
On The Comet (Na Komete ) 1970, Unrated) |
|
| 119 |
Ryan's Daughter 1970, R)
Compelling,aesthetic to the flesh,Miles is divine and superb as the no strings attached Rosy.Lean is masterful depicting long,riveting landscapes stretching to the edge of feelings.The storyline is actually far more solid than in Zhivago and the epic quality of this fairytale juxtaposes the sexual lust. |
|
| 120 |
Dirty Harry 1971, R) |
|
| 121 |
Johnny Got His Gun 1971, PG)
A touching anti-war movie.Curious to find out?The enthralling hospital events are cut in accordance to Johnny's memories of his past life...before becoming a "plant" in the battlefield.So the doctors think.Trumbo justifies his hero's sanity through symbolic divisions and a helping nurse yet the inevitable dominion will arrive.Johnny's actions are noted in his mind as either mistakes or beneficial herbs.Trumbo might not be a director and manages on his sole feature to grab our soul's most tearing part. |

| 148 |
All the President's Men 1976, PG) |
|
| 149 |
L'Innocente (The Innocent) (The Intruder) 1976, R)
Visconti's opera out of control...Loosened strings and the damage is catastrophic.If only it were in the middle of his creative period,we would be placing it amongst gigantic films like Ludwig.An artistic exuberance nonetheless reaping the inner personalities of the protagonists.The eye-candy costume/art direction representation is a wondrous contrast to the filth of aristocracy. |

|
| 159 |
...And Justice For All 1979, R)
Unfair treatment back then for a modern classic as of now,Jewison proved by the end of the 70's his authority in groundbreaking scenarios constructing them in romantic adventures of male idealists.Romanticism as a notion without the juicy parts,and Pacino's role is what the cause prevents him from doing.Bullet with Butterfly Wings,twisted paradox for someone who breaks into the law's bargain? |
|
| 160 |
Breaking Away 1979, PG) |
|
| 161 |
The Brood 1979, R) |
|
| 162 |
Caligula 1979, R)
Of course it's a porn flick,undercover in an "almost" real storyline,historically designated and we all know Tinto Brass is but a mediocre naturalist.It surpasses paradoxically Emmanuella since it does not always contain a mere passion to third party caresses.What am I talking here?If it weren't for MacDowell's splendid portrayal,it would be a bitter Turkish delight. |

|
| 168 |
Bad Timing 1980, R) |
|
| 169 |
City of Women (La cittŕ delle donne) 1980, R)
Effeminate and the most feminist of all Fellini's films,none can forget features made by Russ Meyer but this one does require a second re-read.While on one hand the glamorous city jolts of tender females,the next step proves to be a mere complication of idiosyncrasy.Snaporaz (a fabulous early reference in 8 1/2) is a bargainer and the lesson he'll learn whether it's permanent or not is for the inner female to be unleashed through his curiosity because taming it would be mental (and chauvinistic) torture. |
|
| 170 |
The Elephant Man 1980, PG)
Stars falling and dreams smashing.Lynch divides his audience and nevertheless leaves behind him as time goes by a few glorious films and Elephant Man is no exception.Like a miraculous essence,all of the motifs indicating racism and betrayal are obvious in this film,whereas trust is dangerous in the wrong hands.The self-destruction of this Elephant Man is society's slap to the cheek. |

History of the World -- Part I 1981, R) |
|
| 181 |
Reds 1981, PG)
Political romance,the harsh criticism will attack with a low blow and yet this certain,passive ability of Beatty to glorify what has become a symbol of revolution is more than stupendous thinking at the same time an achievement like that hasn't occurred ever since Eisenstein and Gone with the Wind paused and the biased "wealthy" successors took responsibility.Communism in the hands of serious Hollywood equals superb awe... Loads of arguments?Sure,but heck,I bet P.T. Anderson was a bit influenced by this film to create his magnum opus,don't you think? |

Duvar (The Wall) 1983, Unrated)
Children prisons in Turkey,a grappling theme for all the heartbreaking souls.Unique and Gunei approaches in acute vibration the movement and progress of the kids' and teens' guilt of either petty crimes or even murders.The wall of their punishment is the analogy required for the authorities to place order and Gunei shows this certain order simply makes things worse instead of clean-cut education. |

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, R)
An allegory of those teen flocks swarming the movie-theaters expecting to enjoy the pop corn and they suddenly come to the conclusion they'll throw up.Honestly,this Nightmare may not persuade you to faint or even hide under the sheets yet Craven's flamboyance carries too much of a pride to melt in perpetual gore.Freddy knows it! |

Kiss of the Spider Woman 1985, R)
Babenco's jack pot in Hollywood was the death of his Oscar career.So what?Against the norms of studio decisions,Babenco controlled a subject truly remarkable and whoever thinks love and passion was a revolution in Brokeback Mountain,this is the real deal,the deserted souls.A fragmentary relationship gives the opportunity to Julia and Hurt to deliver exceptional interpretation of two incarcerated figures.What is fantasy constitutes the unacceptable and yet..so enticingly lustful.A memorable 80's film,different in structure and depth. |

The most accessible Angelopoulos you can reach.A terrific intermezzo sequence in between the laboring of the protagonist and his suppressed sexuality.Memories and evoking scenery,there's certainly a poetic homage to natural distraction.The tumultuous landscape of Greece serves as a paleolithic,facial doorknob.Outcasts are not allowed here. |

Barfly 1987, R)
This is how American cinema should be...openly dense and fearlessly howling to all contenders,bouts from every corner of this world.It's a terrible newsreel,Bukowski on the screenplay of a Schroeder film,pessimistic,as far as the jackals can move...Rourke in an electrifying performance.I gotta get a drink... |
|
| 228 |
The Belly of an Architect 1987, R)
A Belly of transgression.Snatching Mertens,offering Dennehy his must-see performance and yes folks,this is Peter Greenaway,out of the best directors working in and most importantly for cinema.Gasping with awe,the appropriate toast to a twisting little diamond from Albion.Nations,personalities collide with misery and treachery.Amongst 87's works of art for sure. |

Hellraiser 1987, R)
An ambitious film,initiative of a long-running series where Clive Barker's magic wand increased a predictable amount of upcoming gore.The original is as one reviewer mentioned "tame" considering the recent lackluster examples.Well,forget those examples,a relentless storyline,jumpy cuts and a Hollywood aura make this semi-independent flick slightly different from the usual horror movie and yet desperately seeking to find an identity like the decayed protagonist. |

Insightful might,Scorsese had guts and establishes his mark in his last great film so far with every bit of ink this word contains.Patience and ferocious looks,Daniel Day-Lewis grapples the screen,the authenticity of the era is more than luxurious and passionate,the substance of the book's material is simply perfect.Unlike many costume dramas of recent years,this just smacks their face! |

I assume it's because of my unfair will that prevents me to rate this higher,Kar Wai's most ambiguous work in my books.Effective,slick temperament and a palling atmosphere,thugs and underground individuals interconnect into a roundabout of frisky results.I expect more masterpieces though from that modern master. |

Ignore the usual comments regards to the flow of the film.It's sheer film-making at it's most possible and at it's most believable.The Israeli Platoon,too much dreadfulness and a few comrades who do the job.Is that all?Gitai locates the gene of good/evil inside the petrified eyes of his protagonists amidst trenches and bombings,where the opening and closing scene are the sole moments of self-relief and future hope. |

This is visual poetry ladies and gents.the one's who are patient enough and admire how a real auteur is like,make haste.Lest you decide the opposite,it's rare for a female director to be much bolder than her male counterparts and swear the church with such profanity and unabashed exclamation,I was shocked in a greater degree than Salo,and I equally love these films. |

Kidd's film has so far achieved as Roger would vigorously say,his peak.That culmination most independent films get through a season and at the same time drastically ignore their superficiality in accordance to the studio mediocrities.That guy actually reminded me of..me....The shape of things to come when you're young and charming..ha,indeed... |

The Barbarian Invasions (Les Invasions barbares) 2003, R)
A witty,eccentric dialogue film,recalling the countless heroes of Rohmer's...aging as the protagonist jumped from a Clarie's Knee to the Canadian landscape.Brilliant method acting and improvisation at the same time,a touching screenplay and a great Croze,for it might not be the peak of Arcand but still fascinates with an intellectual quality of words and conceptions. |
|
| 346 |
Blind Shaft 2003, Unrated)
A deliberately offensive uppercut to Chinese moral significance by a new director of the post-generation X of China.The near thriller elements of Blind Shaft are the heartbeat of his research.I'd normally accuse the script's tendency to drama but the acting is stellar and the unexpected finale events are as ironic as any Coen Brothers "dramedy" film. |

Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women 2003, Unrated)
Largely debunked by the public's generosity,one of 2003's greatest films is a living depiction of modern (!) communities in the depths of Indian hilltops.The attachment of viewers towards Kalki,the sheep for slaughter,will be predictable,it is a fact however that Jha creates a "medieval" atmosphere,where fleeting moments fear to tread the heating,most violent human conditions. |

Les Amants reguliers (Regular Lovers) 2005, Unrated)
Bold cinema,you'd feel it was like some sort of nouvelle vague homage despite the monotony of the characters and their "rebellious" attitude.I was immensely surprised however by the self-destruction of the protagonist Louis Garrel (definitely talented) and the rest of the gang through the joy of life,opium,sex and lots of 60's hallucinatory references.A wonderful homage for whatever the case may be. |
|
| 368 |
Battle in Heaven (Batalla en el cielo) 2005, Unrated)
Whenever a director defies rules,criticism rises.Reygadas isn't yet a big art-house name.He dares and no matter how sour his anti-Catholic story may seem,the fact he chooses to show ugliness in an enticing way,should we assume ugliness is a universal term by the "civilized" people,proves he's a director with guts and focus! |

Shanghai Dreams (Qinghong) 2005, Unrated)
A terrific depiction of the long-forgotten youth,it will crawl inside you and you don't have to be a Chinese to apply to what these dreams truly mean and focus on.The inches of respect and fervent ambition are but scaffolds for the proletarian class,most of the time their only way out from this bulk of stability.Yuanyuan is excellent in her role as the meek daughter and Xiaoshuai presents another great movie.. |

Lady Chatterley 2006, R)
Sublime foundation by Ferran,like a patient worker observing the everyday signs and wonders of Nature.The peasant's poetry could be an alternative title and despite a few interior frustrating paces,Hinds is more than enough.The overall achievement of this movie is to upgrade the classical novel adaptation and provide to Lawrence the best picture about Lady Chatterley. |
