Skins
»rank: 1676
0ur opinion: :A dark and moving tale of bitter helplessness turned to vigilante rage, Skins is the second feature film directed by Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals).

Sahara
»rank: 4955
0ur opinion: :Hollywood made few movies about the desert conflict during World War ll--and curiously, two that they did (Five Graves to Cairo is the other) were remakes of films set elsewhere.

Her new roommate, the deadpan eccentric Mr. Dingle (Coburn, who won an 0scar for his rascally performance), dislikes her ...
