0ur opinion: :Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: O8/28/2OO7 essential video:Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs.

Babe: Pig in the City
»rank: 5945
0ur opinion: :Deservedly acclaimed as one of 1998's best films, this sequel to the beloved 1995 live-action fantasy proved a commercial catastrophe and a source of dismay to parents expecting another bucolic, sweet-natured fable. Every bit as sly and visually stunning as its predecessor, Babe: Pig in the City is otherwise a jolting ride beyond the Hoggetts' farm into a no less vivid but far darker world--the allegorical city of the title, which for the diminutive 'sheep pig' proves truly nightmarish. Australian filmmaker George Miller (Mad Max, ...
