Charge of the Light Brigade (1968): The casting includes royalty playing the officer class roles and some talented supporting actors playing the cannon fodder. However, the main strength of the film is its excellent production values in both peace and war.
Mystery of Henri Pick, The (Le mystère Henri Pick) (2019): Typical of mystery writing is that you get the run around instead of the story simply going from A to B.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $15, $29.95
L'Argent (1983): It is effective but you do not get much change out of the director's style.rn
Oliver! (1968): Ron Moody anchors the performance side of things and is helped by a cast of excellent character actors but the strength is in the songs some of which will continue to be timeless.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Assassination Tango (2002): It doesn't quite work but to its credit, it doesn't follow any well trodden path to any degree.
In a Land of Plenty (2002): Another quality documentary from Alister Barry. This one is particularly hard hitting.
Edge, The (1997): A decent enough actioner that has good stunt work and an upset grizzly bear.
Ishtar (1987): I think the comedy misfired but it does have supporters who believe the comedy to have been misunderstood. Even as a misfire it does have some reasonable segments though.
Promising Young Woman (2020): Carey was fine but the material wasn't the strongest and has been used before.
Perfect Strangers (Perfetti sconosciuti) (2016): The characters need patience and the script is not particularly witty.
