Not sure if it’s an action, a comedy or an erotic picture. But it’s basically a film for Russell’s breasts. Pushing the boundaries of the MPAA, you can see where the edits had to be made
Fairly dull and contrived, it’s otherwise just a standard 40s western

A film pretty much made by Streisand’s performance. Managing to deliver on both the singing and the comedy
While it lulls in the middle, having a straight-forward plot, it’s full of a number of recognisable songs and laughs. It is Streisand’s movie

A more morally grey watered-down 12 Angry Men, as Eastwood delivers fairly standard direction on this conundrum
Hoult gives a strong performance and it looks at both the US legal system and struggles of alcoholism. While a bit forced, it leaves open questions

A film that’s a reflection on life in old age. With dreams and memories being mixed into a short roadtrip
While there isn’t much story, it’s a deeply personal character study that manages to paint the picture of a man

While it takes you a while to figure who’s who, this is a fascinating film that while slow is tense throughout. Waiting for the titular murder
A visual masterpiece, it is gorgeous to look at. And filled with great actors

Conveniently released at the time of Watergate, this film shows the extent of surveillance. But more importantly it’s about paranoia, a fear of being spied on and what it’s used for
Coppola delivers an intriguing film but it’s Hackman’s fantastic performance that makes it

A well crafted film of immigration. Either being rejected by society or having what you have to offer being abused by the rich and powerful. Also of drug addiction and obsession
Using its 3 hours well. The imagery and cinematography is absolutely outstanding, as is Brody

Very much in the style of the 90s British rom-coms, but with a twist. Having the clever idea to show two versions of her life concurrently, making this a unique and interesting film
Paltrow gives a strong performance though the editing’s a bit off in parts. A fun film

A slick thriller from Mann. It somehow manages to work well with the early digital cameras
Cruise and Foxx are both amazing and make this film engaging through their performances alone. Along with some memorable scenes and quick action, this is a great film

A sci-fi that definitely predates the Space Age. This has both the 50’s pulp and the classic disaster movie motifs to it
While the effects are very dated, and it’s rather predictable, it has a nice corniness to it

The 50s pulpy sci-fi take on Well’s classic novel. For the time the effects and imagery are great, though now have a fun campiness
Much more pessimistic and thoughtful than others of the time, but trades out the imperialism message for military action

The definitive adaptation, made in the of the iconic novel. This film is utterly grim and grey and captures Orwell’s drab depressing world
Of course it’s full of the insightful commentary on authoritarianism from the novel. But Hurt’s performance is simply outstanding

The story of Howard Hughes. How he revolutionised the air industry and his declining mental state
With DiCaprio leading the epic, with Scorsese delivering distinctive cinematography. They beautifully portray a man struggling as he fights adversity

Delving into ageing, the male gaze and self-control, this film from Fargeat has a lot to say. While also being a psychological body horror
With distinct imagery and amazing prosthetics, it stands out. And Moore and Qualley give outstanding performances

A great iconic twist. A simple idea but delivered brilliantly, with most the film focusing on the characters and their lives. Closer to a family drama than a horror
Whilst Willis is great it’s the fantastic child performance by Osment that makes it
An absolute must-see

With its sporadic editing, this is certainly a film of its time with all the sex and drugs and music
An exploration of identity as a gangster’s persons starts to merge with a pop star’s. Led by fantastic performances by Jagger and Fox

The political thriller within the Catholic Church. A well thought-out and researched story showing the process. The traditional juxtaposed with mundane modernity. The differing views and beliefs
A great cast but particularly Fiennes is outstanding. Also the score and imagery

Stallone returns to the role after 20 years and it’s like he never left
Filled to the brim with action, now much more gory with blood everywhere, it makes for another action romp. Though does bring attention to the Burmese War and how war/genocide is hell

Rambo returns, this time in Afghanistan. The change of setting again adds an interesting dimension, shining a light on a forgotten part of the world, even if it is all explosions and action again
Another good piece of 80s action that’s sure to entertain

Still with plenty of action, now returning to Vietnam. It still makes for a great fun Stallone action even if there’s less sincerity
The politics may be rather questionable, but it’s best not to think too much about what it’s saying and just enjoy the explosions

A classic 80s action film, interestingly set in Oregon with the enemy being the local police
Filled with post-Vietnam angst, this is full of clever action and Stallone is as brilliant as ever. Surprisingly coming to a poignant point at the end

A 1-room drama with 12 actors. A low budget from a first-time director. Absolute perfection
All the performances are great, but particularly Fonda. In this well thought-out story that says a lot about society and human nature
