Toy Story
»rank: 226
0ur opinion: Essential DVD:There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call 'movie magic,' and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature.

The Princess Bride
»rank: 741
0ur opinion: essential video:Screenwriter William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride earned its own loyal audience on the strength of its narrative voice and its gently satirical, hyperbolic spin on swashbuckled adventure that seemed almost purely literary. For all its derring-do and vivid over-the-top characters, the book's joy was dictated as much by the deadpan tone of its narrator and a winking acknowledgement of the clichés being sent up. Miraculously, director Rob Reiner and Goldman himself managed to visualize this romantic fable while keeping that external voice ...

Scenes From Class Struggle in Beverly Hills
»rank: 13659
0ur opinion: :Written by Bruce Wagner and directed by Paul Bartel, this smart, nasty little sex farce deals with the various comings and goings within the household of a show-business family in Lalaland. Who's sleeping with who--and who wants to sleep with who--are part of the door-slamming, bed-swapping escapades in this wild send-up of contemporary life among the wealthy and the people who work for them. No one's secret is safe in this house, and most of them are very funny--in a sick and twisted way. The ...

Vanya on 42nd Street
»rank: 1010
0ur opinion: :This stirring 1994 work by Louis Malle brought the legendary French filmmaker into another collaboration with actors-writers-directors Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn, scribes and stars of the great My Dinner with Andre. The situation here is that Shawn and Gregory were participants in a years-long, informal project remounting a production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya every few months for select friends and the general worthiness of the idea. Wearing street clothes and strolling to a crumbling New Amsterdam theater on Broadway, actors Shawn, Julianne Moore, George ...
