ranks among top contemporary romantic comedies. Even though Tim Robbins received acclaim for dramatic work in Jacob's Ladder and The Shawshank Redemption , his early comedic work shouldn't be forgotten (well, maybe Howard the Duck , but not the hilarious Sure Thing ). And Walter Matthau? No explanation needed. Combine I.Q. 's talent with its fresh story and it charms. Garage mechanic Ed Walters (Robbins) is captivated at first glimpse by pretty, perky Catherine (Ryan), a gifted academic who lives with her uncle, Albert Einstein (a brilliant Matthau). Catherine is engaged to pretentious James Moreland (the oh-so-appropriate English actor and writer Stephen Fry). Catherine's early 1950s world is all bookish and brainy, even though she has aspirations tow...  (less)

uses barbaric methods to identify (and invariably execute) supposed witches. Along with Price's disciplined work, Witchfinder is also the best film by the talented and ill-fated director Michael Reeves, who was only 24 when he shot the movie. Blessed with a great feeling for English landscapes and an eye for blackly telling details (peasants roasting potatoes in the ashes of a burned witch), Reeves was clearly a promising filmmaker, who died in 1969 from a drug overdose. The most vivid thing about Witchfinder General is the way it explicitly links paranoia and witch-hunting to misogyny, and how female sexual energy is seen by the ruling order as a threat. The final sequence is perhaps the most harrowing fade-out of any...  (less)

Shoes ) is top-billed among a largely Thai cast as a 16th-century Portuguese man of action who sets sail to find his father's killer, but instead finds himself in the employ of the king of Thailand. Treachery involving the queen and a manipulative Portuguese ex-pat (John Rhys-Davies from The Lord of the Rings ) soon puts Stretch's life and romance with Rhys-Davies' daughter (former Miss World Cindy Burbridge) in serious jeopardy. The Thai locations are gorgeous, and director Lek Kitiparaporn doesn't shy away from battle scenes or action set pieces, but the Asian actors struggle mightily with their English dialogue (this is only the third Thai film shot in English since the '40s), which is frankly purple enough to cause proble...  (less)
