Sansho The Bailiff
”This is one of the greats, and I'm too much in awe of it to say much more than: See it—as often as you can. Kenji Mizoguchi's 1954 film is the story of a family torn apart by political upheavals in 11th-century Japan—the children sold into slavery, the mother made a courtesan, the father lost. Mizoguchi looks out on utter devas more »

Jackie Chan Police Story (1985)
“Jackie Chan’s Police Story is one of the great 1980s action films. It’s also one of the most 1980s action films. It’s a bundle of cop-on-the- edge clichés that climaxes with Chan’s Hong Kong policeman hero at war with both his by-the-book superior officers and the crime lord villain who remains stubbornly beyond the law’s reach more »
Touchez Pas Au Grisbi
”...An ageing and weary Gabin attempts to retire after one last robbery. Instead he finds himself in a world of moody double- crosses.

Wild Strawberries
“One of Bergman's warmest, and therefore finest films, this concerns an elderly academic - grouchy, introverted, dried up emotionally - who makes a journey to collect a university award, and en route relives his past by means of dreams, imagination, and encounters with others. It's an occasionally over-symbolic work… but it's fi more »
Hard Eight
“A pared-down crime thriller set mainly in Reno, this first feature by writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson is impressive for its lean and unblemished storytelling, but even more so for its performances. Especially good is Philip Baker Hall…In his role as a smooth professional gambler who befriends a younger man (John C. Reilly) more »
