MelancholiaMelancholia (2011)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) One of the best films I have watched. Absolutely recommend
Duchess, The Duchess, The (2008)
1 star (Turkey) This film left me cold
Swimming PoolSwimming Pool (2003)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) One of the best films in my collection – subtle, with a small cast and often surreally acted. Well worth the watch
Great Expectations (Mini-series) (1999)
2 stars (Good Try) I wasn't thrilled with this – there are better adaptions of the novel. Rampling is always good to watch but disappoints as Miss Havesham
Max Mon AmourMax Mon Amour (1986)
4 stars (Very Good) I expected this film to be weird – it is, after all, about zoophilia. It wasn't weird, which probably made it even weirder. Definitely thought–provoking
Angel HeartAngel Heart (1987)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) One of the best films I have in my collection – well worth the watch. Stellar performances from Rourke, De Niro and Rampling
OrcaOrca (The Killer Whale) (1977)
3 stars (Good Enough) Good story, well written script, fine acting – especially subtle from Rampling. Some of the scenes involving the orca were particularly graphic and horrific. Probably necessary to prove the point at the time the film was made, but still hard to watch
Farewell, My LovelyFarewell, My Lovely (1975)
4 stars (Very Good) Well written script and superb acting
DVD $24.95 $18.70
ZardozZardoz (1974)
1 star (Turkey) The review by Achilles – "Probably has the highest count of WTF moments of any movie I have yet seen" – is a pretty apt description.
AsylumAsylum (House of Crazies) (1972)
3 stars (Good Enough) Good fun watching. Not really "horror" at all, which would suit those (like me) who don't enjoy being scared in a film
