Rambling Rose (1991): Set in the American South during the Depression–era, Rose, a cheerfully promiscuous young housekeeper and nanny, brings sexual electricity to an unconventional middle–class household. Sweet, and raunchy, all at the same time.
Salmonberries (1992): Kotz lives her life disguised as a boy until, after falling for a librarian, reveals her true identity. A love story between an eccentric pair, who each help the other to discover the truth about their pasts. Surreal and dreamlike.
Night On Earth (1991): Five seperate stories that occur at the same time in taxicabs in five different cities and time zones. Investigations fo the in–between times that people don't usually make movies about. Imaginative and charmingly different.
My Left Foot (1989): Story of Irish artist and writer Christy Brown, whose cerebral palsy kept him confined to a wheelchair. Born to a large family, it follows his difficult formative years through to adulthood and love interests. Passionate performance.
Peter's Friends (1992): New Year's Eve, Peter's friends arrive one by one to his estate for a reunion – it's been 10 years since they'd all been together. During the course of a weekend they rediscover relationships – and themselves. An emotional rollercoaster, but lovely.
Winter Guest, The (1997): In a remote Scottish village, where the sea is frozen as far as the eye can see, recently widowed photographer Frances lives with her increasingly distant son, and finds life radically changed with the arrival of her mother. Stunningly beautiful!
M Butterfly (1993): A French civil service officer risks everything in his obsessive pursuit of an enigmatic Chinese opera diva. An extremely well–crafted story of espionage, love, betrayal, obsession – and ultimately a dramatic reversal of the tragedy of Madama Butterfly.
Pianist, The (2002): Story of a Polish Jew & concert pianist who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw, miraculously eluded the death camps, and survived throughout World War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Deeply stirring human drama.
Schindler's List (1993): An unlikely hero at its center, Catholic war profiteer Oskar Schindler, who risked his life and went bankrupt to save more than 1,000 Jews from certain death in concentration camps. Haunting cinematography, deserved the accolades.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Pulp Fiction (1994): The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of diner bandits, seemingly unrelated people, are woven together in series of funny and bizarre incidents. Fairly groundbreaking stuff to come out of Hollywood in its time.
