Scandal (1989): Based on a true event of 1963, the 'Profumo affair' scandal is one the classic sex scandals of British political history – an excellent example of how politics, power, weakness & self–interest can corrupt, destroy & even end lives. Well–crafted film.
Talk Radio (1988): Shock–jock Barry Champlain, is free to provoke, insult and anger his listeners. His abrasive, obnoxious persona connects with many of his disaffected, vulnerable overnight audience – but also offends in equal measure. Worth a watch.
Pump Up the Volume (1990): Mark, a painfully shy new kid in town, is by night the cynical rebel DJ Hard Harry. Unaware of his identity, he's idolised by his classmates. When he exposes a corrupt principal, she calls in the authorities to shut him down. Witty, with a message.
Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990): Nina has lost the love of her life & experiences a greif so profound she may never get over the loss. But when Jamie starts reappearing as a ghost, she learns some very important lessons about living life. Whimsical, yet about some incredibly deep stuff.
Cinema Paradiso (1990): Through the eyes of the adult Toto, we relive his childhood and adolescence in a small Sicilain village – especially his relationship with Alfredo, the Cinema Paradiso's gentle and wise old projectionist. A magical celebration of cinema.
Moonstruck (1987): Loretta is a widowed Brooklyn book–keeper planning to marry Johnny, that is until she meets his black–sheep brother Ronny who sweeps her off her feet into an unexpected love affair. Que bella luna!
Fatal Attraction (1987): Dan has the perfect live, that is until he cheats on his wife one weekend with psychotic bunny–boiler, Alex. A thriller about obsessive passion. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! It's a classic.
Witches of Eastwick (1987): When wealthy Daryl Van Horne shows up in a quaint New England town, three modern day women all yearning for Mr. Right find themselves thoroughly seduced. Upon learning the truth about this devil of a man, they conjure up their revenge. Excellent stuff.
9 1/2 Weeks (1986): After a chance meeting, Elizabeth and the mysterious John plunge head long into a relationship so intense that it completely consumes them. He makes the rules and she completely surrenders to them. The book's better, but it's not unwatchable.
Breakfast Club, The (1985): Five teens spend a Saturday detention together. To the outside world they were simply: a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal – but to each other they will always be The Breakfast Club. My all–time favourite 80's flick.
