Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
John Woo brings us his over the top vision for Mission Impossible with some ridiculous (yet admittedly cool–looking) stunts, twists, and a revamped theme. Fun despite its obvious flaws.
Entrapment (1999)
One of those heist films that seems to show on TV every few weeks, Entrapment is a fun and exciting ride with some unique ideas and a sexy cast. Yes, both Zeta–Jones and Connery.
Wizard of Oz, The (1939)
An all–time classic, with some wonderful moments – including those first steps on the yellow brick road.
Scarface (1983)
De Palma's telling of the rise of Tony Montana is uber–violent, ruthless, and stunningly characterised by Pacino. Say hello to my little friend!
Miami Vice (2006)
A decent DV revamp of the original TV series, although just as implausible, and at times just a little too 80s for its own good.
Batman and Robin (1949)
The classic Black and White Batman and Robin, starring Robert Lowery and Johnny Duncan, which now comes across more comic–relief than anything else. Think Laurel and Hardey in tights. One for the avid collectors only.
Batman (TV Series) (1966-1968)
A campy B–grade Batman from the original TV series with that most memorable themesong. This has certainly aged, but those who can remember back to the TV series will get a few good laughs.
Batman Forever (1995)
Carrey as the Riddler is a missed opportunity, Two–Face is ridiculous, and the introduction of Robin is a terrible idea. Skip this film and pretend that another Batman film didn't exist until Nolan's reboot.
Batman and Robin (1997)
Batman only gets worse, with Bat–suit nipples, appalling dialogue and an even worse plot. Schumacher should hang up his boots as film–maker and franchise–killer forever.
Batman Returns (1992)
Less dark and atmospheric than the previous Burton Batman, but still entertaining, if a little cartoonish at times. Great performances by all, making you wonder what went wrong with the next few films of the franchise after this...
