The Rapture (1991)

"An intelligent and serious examination of the end-of-the-world. What if it really happened as described in the Bible? The outcome is harrowing and astounding - a disturbing and thought-provoking film."

Raw Deal (1948)

"A lesser effort from Anthony Mann, with a rudimentary plot but striking cinematography from John Alton. It's a movie where the hero is only less evil than the villains, and it's downbeat, dark, and low-budget. The bare-bones plot is strictly a means to vi"

Rocky III (1982)

"Any movie with Mr. T is fodder for a guilty pleasure list, but this one gets the nod because it lets him be the bad guy for once."
