Treasure Island (1990)
»rank: 859
0ur opinion: :A tale about a fatherless boy finding dramatically different father figures throughout a remarkable adventure, Treasure lsland is an entertaining coming-of-age story, with themes of family, loyalty, friendship, trust, and honesty at its core. While Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure tale is popular film fare, it's never been done this well. Charlton Heston stars as Long John Silver and Christian Bale as plucky Jim Hawkins in this TNT production. Directed by Heston's son ...

Photographing Fairies
»rank: 3111
0ur opinion: :The true story of two English children who claimed they photographed fairies in 1917 produced two different movies in the late 199Os.

The film follows not the children, but Charles Castle (Toby Stephens), a young photographer who loses his beloved wife on their honeymoon. A shell of a ...
