The Number 23 - Style to burn, a trippy and feverish neo-noir with a deft perf from Carrey in one of his serious turns.
Tigerland - Superb army boot room character piece.
8MM - Dark and disturbing, Cage superb.
A Time to Kill - Potent and relevant.
Phone Booth - How to garner maximum suspense from such a thin premise.
Falling Down - His masterpiece.
The Lost Boys - Cool and sexy!
Disappointments - St. Elmo's Fire is a sort of grown up John Hughes ensemble, but the potential is never realised in spite of some strong perfs from the cast. Likewise Flatliners, the material to hand should have made for a terrifying picture, sadly it's a luke warm piece, as is the remake. Both his Batman films are poor, Forever is just about above average and watchable, B&R is an abomination.
