Blues Brothers, The (1980): A great film great laughs and brilliant music.
Dancer Upstairs, The (2002): Competent, but generally slow with only Javier Bardem\'s performance lifting it from the doldrums.; Poster (VG) $12.95
Shawshank Redemption, The (1994): It is powerful and emotional, but when I look back at it, I can\'t really remember why.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968): A grand, dazzling and sweeping epic.
Men in Black (1997): Sharp, imaginative and mostly funny. Tommy Lee Jones in particular is wonderful.
Gladiator (2000): A true epic; full of adventure, beauty and heart.
Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994): While the overall film is a softer effort from the Coens, its still full of wonderful and hilarious moments.
Chinatown (1974): A hard–boiled, smart and well acted detective thriller. Nicholson in particular is brilliant.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Platoon (1986): Sheen seems to falter somewhat with carrying the film, but Berenger and Dafoe are fantastic and the overall film is superb.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Heavenly Creatures (1994): An emotional, affecting and ultimately disturbing film with a sharp script and intense performances.
