Fresh 5/5	Fresh 85%	12 Monkeys (1995)	" Terry Gilliam's most mature film to date demands rigorous analysis from the viewer. Add to this the director's grotesquely comic hallmarks, and the resulting film is a complex and rewarding fantasy." Posted Nov 4, 2002
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 99%	Metropolis (1927)	" Essential viewing." Posted Apr 17, 2002
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 98%	The Conversation (1974)	" The Conversation is an intricate and unsettlingly subtle character study, with a very strong performance from Hackman." Posted Mar 4, 2002
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	Toy Story (1995)	" *Shot through with an exuberant and enviable sense of its own brilliance, Toy Story* will continue to impress long after its technical virtuosity has been upstaged.**" Posted Dec 10, 2001
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	Toy Story 2 (1999)	" Much work has gone into the 'story' as into the 'toy', making this a rewarding return to an indisputable visual treat." Posted Dec 10, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 71%	For Your Eyes Only (1981)	" Director John Glen took care of Bond for most of the 80s, arguably the agent's weakest decade. That said, his debut showed promise in its restraint." Posted Sep 11, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)	" All the old Enterprise personnel carry the film, as it is more concerned with character re-animation than development." Posted Sep 11, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	Point Break (1991)	" The hinted spirituality of the film is plainly silly, but it's quickly swallowed by the undertow of crashing spectacle." Posted Sep 10, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 80%	Goldeneye (1995)	" A bold attempt to reinvent the character itself, one that tied in with the post-cold war era." Posted Sep 10, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 51%	The World Is Not Enough (1999)	" Has all the makings of a classic Bond film plus a more original plot than usual." Posted Sep 10, 2001
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 64%	Moonraker (1979)	" Frivolous, yes, but never dull." Posted Aug 1, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Thunderball (1965)	" In this, the fourth instalment in the series from the original team, you have a classic Bond film that wants for nothing but a trim." Posted Jun 27, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 57%	Con Air (1997)	" It's silly, but it's also free from pretensions to be anything else." Posted Jun 12, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 90%	The Day of the Jackal (1973)	" Zinnemann's tale of an extremist faction's plot to kill the celebrated French leader and the authorities' efforts to capture the mercenary assassin hired for the job achieves a dignified tone and compelling pace seldom seen in latter-day thrillers." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 86%	Brief Encounter (1946)	" Less cynical souls will weep buckets." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Ben-Hur (1959)	" Opening with a full overture played against Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you know that you're in for something unembarrassed by its own grandiosity." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Scarface (1983)	" This is very much a film of the 80s in its portrayal not of moral decline (there is little declining left to do) but of unstoppable ego-centrism. With guns." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 87%	Rain Man (1988)	" The film's greatest achievement is successfully framing the plot around a character incapable of emotional development." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	Battleship Potemkin (1925)	" If you are at all interested in the history of cinema, or the influence of 20th century politics on the medium, then this film is a must-see, although over an hour of Soviet propaganda is likely to test the patience of modern viewers." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 89%	Planet of the Apes (1968)	" A magnificently indignant Heston ... wrestles with the imponderables of a topsy-turvy world in which apes reign over humankind." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	Parenthood (1989)	" Director Ron Howard combines this multi-generational suburban soap almost effortlessly, considering the number of parents or would be parents we're expected to care about." Posted Apr 17, 2001
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 87%	Heat (1995)	" Taken altogether, Mann doesn't do anything particularly new, but with a subtly used supporting cast he combines everything into an unusually articulate action thriller." Posted Apr 17, 2001
