The Secret of NIMH
»rank: 1698
0ur opinion: :ln his book, Robert C. 0'Brien called his brave widow mouse 'Mrs. Frisby,' but Disney escapee animator Don Bluth must have thought kids would laugh the wrong way at that. They renamed her 'Mrs. Brisby' for NlMH. That acronym stands for the National lnstitute of Mental Health, and the rats that live near Mrs. Brisby came from NlMH--they have strange ways. But they're the only ones who can save her house and her children, so Brisby seeks them out with the help of a humorous ...

»rank: 9666
0ur opinion: essential video:This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by 0liver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of ...

The Big Blue - Director's Cut
»rank: 6485
0ur opinion: :A hit in Europe but a flop in the U.S.--where it was trimmed, rescored, and given a new ending--Luc Besson's The Big Blue has endured as a minor cult classic for its gorgeous photography (both on land and underwater) and dreamy ambiance. Jean-Marc Barr is a sweet and sensitive but passive presence as Jacques, a diver with a unique connection to the sea. He has the astounding ability to slow his heartbeat and his circulation on deep dives, 'a phenomenon that's only been observed in ...
