Wire, The - Season 1 (TV Series)Wire, The - Season 1 (TV Series) (2002)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) The Wire (all series) really is as good as everyone says. I haven't seen much on TV that assumes so axiomatically that the person watching has a brain. Not exactly as "realist" as it's cracked up to be, but disbelief is rarely so easy to suspend.
Rome (TV Series)Rome (TV Series) (2005)Recommended
1 star (Turkey) What a waste of time. The novelty value of seeing Rome brought to life lasts only until people begin acting and speaking. I was furious with the person who told me so fervently to see it! Should have a skull and crossbones on the box.
When the Road Bends - Tales Of A Gypsy CaravanWhen the Road Bends - Tales Of A Gypsy Caravan (2006)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Brilliant, sad, jubilant, beautiful, enthralling. Which admittedly all sounds like rubbish when I write it down, but it's true, I reckon – have a look and see.
Genghis BluesGenghis Blues (1999)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) If this isn't one of the weirdest true stories ever, hard to imagine what would top it – with amazing music to boot.
Plan 9 from Outer SpacePlan 9 from Outer Space (1956)Recommended
1 star (Turkey) There is no good reason to see this film! It's as bad as they say, really bad, *just* bad bad bad. Not even irony or recherche in–group taste can justify watching it. Avoid at all costs. Spend your time engaged in other forms of ascetic practice.
Whisper of the HeartWhisper of the Heart (1995)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) My favourite Ghibli (that's saying a lot); one of my favourite films ever. A keen, unfussed view of the truths of everyday things, left full room to play by a quiet, bare–bones story.
Wild StrawberriesWild Strawberries (1957)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) I don't really hold with saying much about films this good. I can't imagine what kind of person would not be blown away.
LoveLove (Szerelem) (1971)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) Man o man. One of the best films I have ever seen, the kind that leaves you speechless.
Touch of Evil, ATouch of Evil, A (1958)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) Best policy with films this good is to shut up and watch. Sheer genius.
A Single ManA Single Man (2009)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) Just watch it. Anything anyone tells you about a film like this (and how many of those are there anyway?) will probably fly entirely wide of the mark, or at best only nick the bare surface.
