Cars (2006): Whilst the characters are maybe not as likeable as in other productions the Pixar animation is admirable.
Small Change (L'argent de Poche) (1976): Although the screenplay runs out of steam somewhat before the end it is still a delightful exercise in observing youngsters going about their business.
Dead Don't Die, The (2019): It shouldn't really attract much interest because of the number of zombie films that have arisen in recent times, but the strong reputation of the director and the casting should ensure it will keep its head above the ground.
Love is the Devil (1998): An interesting screenplay which concerns Bacon's relationships more than his painting. The set designs and other period details are well done but towering over everything is Derek Jacobi's performance.
Thunder Road (2018): The screenplay has a freshness to it but it isn't that interesting.
From the Life of the Marionettes (1980): Because we witness the crime early in the screenplay the suspense element isn't great but what follows e.g. the lead up to the crime and the aftermath is still interesting thanks to the craft of the filmmaker.
Birds of Paradise (2014): The animation style was a touch bland but the characters were entertaining enough.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002): It had some great offbeat comedy moments but it was also very violent. The violence without the comedy mix may have been unpalatable but together, for the most part, it worked.
Maybe Baby (2000): Whilst the material soon runs out of steam there is an attractive cast to maintain the interest. The Rowan Atkinson segments are worthy of attention.; DVD $11.95
Pretty Persuasion (2005): There is a fine line on whether black comedies work or not. This one comes across as unintentionally grubby, or at best immature, which is a pity because of the cast involved.
