1.Dances With Wolves [1991] starring: Kevin Costner, Rodney A. Grant, Mary McDonnell, Gordon Tootoosis, Graham Greene directed by: Kevin Costner April 23, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Kevin Costner has always been one of those actors you either love or hate, much like the singing and celebrity of Victoria Beckham or Marmite. It is unfortunate then, that it is these personal feelings which cloud judgement about whether or not to see a film. Because, in a time when the idea of race relations is once again at the forefront of the news, this simple story of a man open to change can tell us a lot. Lt John Dunbar (Coster) is a civil war hero. Given the choice of outpost as a reward for a selfless act on the battlefield, he picks the furthest place he can find, the prairee. Also known as Indian country. Far from being the war-mongering madmen his superiors are presented as, Dunbar is a quiet, ... Read More:

3.Sneakers [1992] starring: Jo Marr, Gary Hershberger, Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn directed by: Phil Alden Robinson July 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.67
There are very few films that remain incessantly entertaining after repeated viewings but this is certainly one of them. I would describe it as a comfort movie - one to watch with the girlfriend on stormy afternoons or reassuringly peaceful evenings. Sneakers is a feelgood comedy-thriller with a plausible and pacy plot and fine performances from a cast that works wonderfully well together. Reminiscent of 1950's British espionage or courtroom thrillers, it relies, not upon contrived set-piece action sequences but upon strong plot and fine comedic performances from Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Mary McDonnell and River Phoenix (among others). A particularly pleasing aspect of the movie is the soundtrack - composed by James Horner and featuring ... Read More:

5.Donnie Darko [2002] starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Holmes Osborne, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daveigh Chase, Mary McDonnell directed by: Richard Kelly (II) May 19, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.02
Donnie Darko is by far my favourite film. No other film reaches deep inside of me and carries me away like Donnie Darko does. Many of my friends hate it because they "don't understand it" or "it doesn't make sense". They just don't get it though. Of course there are flaws but that is why it is one of the greatest films created in recent years. Whatever your thoughts, it makes you think. The storyline is the most imaginative I have come across, every actor and actress is perfect for their role, every song is beautiful and the camera work is stunning. I can think of a few words to describe Donnie Darko - dark, upsetting, thought provoking and beautiful. The scene in the cinema brings tears to my eyes. If you ... Read More:

8.Independence Day [1996] starring: Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell, Judd Hirsch directed by: Roland Emmerich August 16, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
I'm almost embarrassed that I thought it was good when I was a kid. Because I was too young to understand the bad points and let's face it, we don't have high demands of quality when we are young. I thought power rangers had good acting then... riiight moving swiftly on. Anyway I watched it again a year or so ago when it was on TV and realised just how innocent I must have been. Not only is this film crap, but its pro American theme that is used to carry the story really made me cringe... HARD. Its like a serious version of Team America. I'm sure the point of this was to have Americans coming out of the "Movie Theatre" (Cinema to you and I) jumping up and down with their lassoes screaming YEAH!!! YEAH!!!. But what are the rest of us meant to ... Read More:

9.Matewan [1987] starring: Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones, Will Oldham, Mary McDonnell, Ken Jenkins directed by: John Sayles April 02, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.70
It is a rarity these days to see a film that has a social conscience, what with Hollywood more preoccupied with more action and better special effects, so watching this movie feels a little like wallowing in nostalgia. It is a slice of movie as history lesson, written and directed by one of the last humanitarian directors still working today, John Sayles. Taking as its starting point the labour wars that went on in America during the 1920's, the film deals with the fictional account of a group of West Virginia miners in the town of Matewan. After the Stone Mine Coal Company reduces rates of pay yet again, the miners go on strike, with the result that the company bring in hired guns both to remove the miners from company owned houses, and protect the mine from sabotage attempts.
