The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
This television adaptation is stylish as hell, but offers little more to justify its existence.
Mystic Pizza
This so-so prelude to the 90s indie movement has many great performances all trying to save a mediocre script.
Safety Last!
For my money, maybe the best silent comedy of all time.
The Way of the Dragon
This dated action classic offers little to the delight the modern viewer.
The Sea Beast
The Sea Beast is a movie of two halves. The first half is superb. The second is disappointingly poor.
Father of the Bride
A simpler, subtler take on the machinations of planning a wedding (in the 1950s) that offers plenty of light and frothy comedy to accompany its sweet and sentimental core.
10
A decent but dated precursor to much better films about childish men who learn it’s about time for them to grow up.
Greyhound
This excellent naval thriller skimps on frills and is all the better for it.
Grapes of Wrath
This famous adaptation of an equally famous book offers a powerful punch, but one that wallows in its characters’ misery a bit too much for my liking.
Titanic
A modern epic that absolutely lives up to its stellar reputation.
Police Story
An almost unbelievable amount of career defining action more than compensates for the flimsy story and hit or miss comedy.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
This anthology of Western genre short films, all by the Coen brothers, wastes jaw dropping cinematography on six plodding, predictably ironic tales of human cruelty.
