Best Director, Oliver Stone's Platoon was a
box-office smash heralding Hollywood's second wave
of Vietnam war films. Platoon simply showed the
daily reality of the war from the point of view of
ordinary soldiers and Stone's own service in
Vietnam gives his work a unique authenticity.
Charlie Sheen gives his best performance to date,
enduring a series of increasingly large-scale and
bloody battles but against this gruelling verity
the film falters over the symbolic conflict
between good and evil sergeants played by Willem
Dafoe and Tom Berenger. Even though this was also
based in real life, it strikes a too
conventionally Hollywood-like note in a film which
otherwise maintains much of the raw power of
Stone's other film from 1986, Salvador. Stone
would return to Vietnam with the more
sophisticated Born on the Fourth of July and
Heaven and Earth.  The high-point in the long
fruitful partnership of Martin Scorsese and Robert
De Niro, and widely reckoned one of the finest
films of the 1980s, Raging Bull still looks like a
contender. Based on the ghosted autobiography of
1940s boxing champion Jake La Motta, it's the most
searing, intense and often painful to watch of
Scorsese's explorations into the nature of
masculinity and macho values. The rise of La
Motta, the taut, cocky young fighting machine from
the Bronx, is bookended by the scenes in which, as
a paunchy, bloated has-been 20 years later, he's
reduced to acting out self-pitying monologues in a
tawdry Manhattan nightclub. Making their starring
debuts, Joe Pesci (as La Motta's long-suffering
brother and manager), and Cathy Moriarty as his
delicate-featured, abused child-wife, both grab
their opportunities with both hands. But the
film's dominated from the outset by De Niro's tour
de force performance as the brutal, hair-triggered
La Motta, viciously lashing out at the world in
self-destructive fury. Raging Bull was nominated
for eight Oscars and picked up two, one for De
Niro, and one for Thelma Schoonmaker's editing. 
Rain Man is the kind of touching drama that Oscars
are made for--and, sure enough, the film took
Academy honours for best picture, director,
screenplay, and actor (Dustin Hoffman) in 1988.
Hoffman plays Raymond, an autistic savant whose
late father has left him $3 million in a trust.
This gets the attention of his materialistic
younger brother, a hot-shot LA car dealer named
Charlie (Tom Cruise) who wasn't even aware of
Raymond's existence until he read his estranged
father's will. Charlie picks up Raymond and takes
him on a cross-country journey that becomes a
voyage of discovery for Charlie, and, perhaps, for
Raymond, too. Rain Man will either captivate you
or irritate you (Raymond's sputtering of
repetitious phrases is enough to drive anyone
crazy), but it is obviously a labour of love for
those involved. Hoffman had been attached to the
film for many years, as various directors and
writers came and went, but his persistence
eventually paid off--kind of like Raymond in Las
Vegas. Look for director Barry Levinson in a cameo
as a psychiatrist near the end of the film. --Jim
Emerson This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce
Willis a star and established a new template for
action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank),
and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is
trapped with them." In Die Hard, those bad guys,
led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume
control of a Los Angeles high-rise with Willis's
visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of
the film has as much to do with the sight of a
barefoot mortal running around the guts of a
modern office tower as it has to do with the
plentiful fight sequences and the bond the hero
establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie Bedelia
plays Willis's wife, Hart Bochner is good as a
brash hostage who tries negotiating his way to
freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a believable
killer with lethal feet, and William Atherton is
slimy as a busybody reporter. This film is
exceptionally well directed by John McTiernan.
--Tom Keogh The Terminator was the film that
cemented Arnold Schwarzenegger's place in the
action-brawn firmament, and both his and the
movie's subsequent iconic status are well
deserved. He's chilling as the futuristic cyborg
that kills without fear, without love, without
mercy. James Cameron's story and direction are
pared to the bone and are all the more chillingly
effective for it. But don't overlook the
contribution of Linda Hamilton, who more than
holds her own as the Terminator's would-be victim,
Sarah Connor, thus creating--along with Sigourney
Weaver in Alien--a new generation of rugged,
clear-thinking female action stars. The film's
minimalist, malevolent violence is actually
scarier than that of its far more expensive, more
effects-laden sequel. --Anne Hurley, Amazon.com

Highly influential, When Harry Met Sally revitalised (in 1988) the moribund romantic ... more
comedy genre, made a superstar of Meg Ryan, and in
two minutes of heavy breathing gave cinema one of
its most memorable scenes. Set over 12 years in
New York, young professionals Harry (Billy
Crystal) and Sally (Ryan) go from meeting to
becoming friends to, well--this is a romantic
comedy. Benefiting from an observant and witty
script by Nora Ephron, it also offers insight into
the differences between men and women. More
importantly it's very funny. Knowingly modern, the
picture's snappy one liners, neurotic honesty and
straight-to-camera interludes are in the tradition
of Woody Allen's New York Jewish humour. Perfectly
played, with excellent support from Carrie Fisher,
When Harry Met Sally is the archetypal modern
romantic comedy. Since Working Girl was released,
Harrison Ford has never given such a charming and
witty performance, Sigourney Weaver hasn't been
given quite the same kind of scenery-chewing role,
and Melanie Griffith simply hasn't got near doing
anything this good again. And yet in Mike Nichols'
excellent romantic comedy, they all gel in a film
with eminent re-watch value. The premise is fairly
simple. Griffith's lowly secretary gets a job with
Weaver's megabitch boss. The former is unhappy at
home and work, while the latter is unscrupulous
and underhand, and happy to pass off one of

this could become routine Hollywood nonsense, yet

certainly dated, and the world in many ways has
moved on, yet there's still plenty of room in it
for films as good as this one.--Jon Foster
Desperately Seeking Susan - This likeable,
feminist screwball comedy about several incidents
of mistaken identity is remembered more as the
film that made Madonna a movie star. She's flip,
hip and energetic as Susan, the wild tramp with
whom bored, suburban New Jersey housewife Roberta
Glass (Rosanna Arquette) becomes obsessed after
reading of her sexual conquests in the personal
ads. Of course, since Madonna essentially played
herself, the role's hardly a stretch. Director
Susan Seidelmen presents a series of zany
incidents too complicated to recount, but the
result is that Roberta swaps lifestyles with her
fixation to explore New Wave culture on New York's
Lower East Side.  Susan is a fairy tale romantic
comedy, and eventually becomes as conventional as
the suburban characters it mocks by settling
conflicts with predictable Hollywood formulae.
Still, there's much to be enjoyed. The film's at
its funniest when juxtaposing New York hip and New
Jersey suburbia, like when Arquette's straight,
suit-and-tie husband dances with Madonna in a punk
club. The performances, too, are engaging,
especially Arquette and Aidan Quinn, playing a
romantic film projectionist who becomes her grubby

Stone was a huge hit for director Robert Zemeckis
(who later went on to make Forrest Gump, Contact
and Castaway among others) thanks in no small part
to the winning team of Michael Douglas, Kathleen
Turner, and Danny DeVito. The chemistry between
all three stars is infectious, but Turner steals
the show from the guys, playing a pushy romance
novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous
figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide
(Michael Douglas) as an ally. Zemeckis--whose
specialty at the time was creating set pieces of
raucous action (as in his Back to the Future
trilogy)--keeps things hopping with lots of
kinetic material. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Stonewas a huge hit for director Robert Zemeckis
(who later went on to makeForrest
Gump,ContactandCastawayamong others) thanks in no
small part to the winning team of Michael Douglas,
Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. The chemistry
between all three stars is infectious, but Turner
steals the show from the guys, playing a pushy

Classic
Review of When Harry Met Sally (Wide Screen) by  Izzy

Advantages: A romantic/comedy classic
Disadvantages: Asks more questions than it answers

...This 1989 film made Meg Ryan (Sally) and Billy Crystal (Harry) household names. The film follows Harry and Sally from meeting in 1977 at the University of Chicago through to the late 1980s. The film asks the question fairly early on "Can men and women just be friends?" after Harry makes an requited move on Sally. An intelligent question that we follow throughout the film. The characters become friends after bumping into each other again in the 80s. Slowly we see the sarcastic Harry and slightly neurotic Sally grow closer friends until they step over the sexual boundary and things get confused again! This film seems to work because the comedy and romance are equally balanced leaving something for everyone. Plus, over 10 years since its release, everyone can still remember quotes from the film and nobody can forget the Ryan orgasm... Read review

English Friends, but more sexy
Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series DVD by  markcurtis7

Advantages: Very funny, witty, well planned comedy
Disadvantages: no extras, no deleted scenes etc

...the girls love. Steve (Jack Davenport) - Steve is the, well, normal one of the lads. Plain, smart, sarcastic and funny, Steve is going out with Susan. And the girls- Susan (Sarah Alexander) - Steve's girlfriend. Susan is very sexually orientated and is slghtly intimidating to the men. Jane (Gina Bellman) - Jane was never blessed with the brains. The 'blondest' one, she used to date Steve for 4 years before he met Susan. Sally (Kate Isitt) - Sally is a beautician with a problem. She has an obsession with face cream and a hatred for tories. Storyline Susan and Patrick begin the series together, but during the first episode they decide to part, leaving Patrick as an 'unflushable'. Steve has been tryin to end things with Jane for a while but she will not accept, as she doesnt have a say in it. Jeff works with Susan and just turns up... Read review

Desperately seeking success
Review of Desperately Seeking Susan (Wide Screen) by  Lucien500

Advantages: Good acting and easy plot
Disadvantages: None!

...into an obsession and she gets obsessed at looking through the ads for Susan and Jim's meetings. But one time when she goes to see them, Susan gets banged on the head, and she forgets everything and she thinks that she is Susan! Now, Roberta tries hard to be Susan, following her life, which she has seen Susan do for a while. Anything else would destroy the plot! This film is extremely simple to follow and there is no special effects or sorts. Of course it has that 80's vibe to it, but that is unavoidable. This film didn't only launch Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, Susan Seidelman became extremely popular. Her next project after Desperately Seeking Susan was Making Mr. Right with John Malkovich. This was a total flop and she did a Roberta: she retired from directing and she is often known to be relaxing by her pool in Los Angeles! Of course, Madonna has... Read review
