1.Tango And Cash [1989] starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Teri Hatcher, Jack Palance, Brion James
directed by: Albert Magnoli, Andrei Konchalovsky
August 14, 2000
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Tango And Cash [1989]
Great movie, one of my favourite films from my childhood, and by far the greatest buddie movie ever made. I've got this film on a ancient VHS and still watch it from time to time. Look out for the late great Brion James of Blade Runner fame as the dodgy cockney geezer. Great perfomances from Sly, Russell and Palance too.

2.The Wild Angels [1966] starring: Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, Buck Taylor
directed by: Roger Corman
August 02, 1993

VHS : The Wild Angels [1966]
Released in 1966, it must have shocked the nation and no mistake.
This is as close to the Hells's Angels myths as has been shown on the silver screen. Peter Fonda is yet again the motor-cycling hero and looks good in the role. There is an excellent cast and the extras are in fact a Hell's Angel chapter from Venice, California.
It is wild for the year, and proprieties however, are observed, as there is no nudity; sex is present, but not shown; and there is extensive use of drugs. Mind you, I did not notice any bad language, which shows just how innocent we were in the so called "Swinging sixties".
This one is certainly worth seeing.
A great biker movie!

3.Why Me? [1990] starring: Christopher Lambert, Kim Greist, Christopher Lloyd, J.T. Walsh, Gregory Millar

4.Split Second [1991] starring: Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall, Neil Duncan, Michael J. Pollard

VHS : Split Second [1991]
...Rutger Hauer plays a seriously on-the-edge cop who lives on coffee and chocolate (and BIG guns). Having had one partner disappear while searching for a grisly serial murderer who then vanished, he is given as a replacement one Dick Durkin when the murders start again 12 months later.

Dick is a clean living ex-college graduate who runs every morning, and then has sex with his girlfriend, (except Sunday, when he skips the run!)

Hauer's character was clawed by the killer, and this has created a link, where Hauer can 'sense' when and where the next murder is going to happen. It is this that has put him on the edge, and made him a laughing stock amongst fellow officers.

There are some great scenes, especially the 'conversion' ... Read More:

VHS : Scrooged [1988]
This film is BRILLIANT to watch. This movie may have not worked well if it was different actor but perfectly well with Bill Murray. Very very funny movie and it was worth it to watch but better nearer Christmas time. Also I have to say this film help me to bring out in festive mood. Excellent movie.

6.Caprice [1967] starring: Doris Day, Richard Harris, Ray Walston, Jack Kruschen, Edward Mulhare
directed by: Frank Tashlin

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Caprice [1967]
An extraordinarily funny and heart warming story about Doris Day who gets caught up in a net of lies and is mistakingly taken for a spy of a rival cosmetic company. She is thought of wanting to steal the secret recipe for a water deterrent hair spray and has to find a way out of this mess. On the way she falls in love with an interpol agent who happens to be entangled into the same mess...
Absolutely hillarious, what a pity it is not available on the European market.

7.Bonnie And Clyde [1967] starring: Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons
directed by: Arthur Penn

VHS : Bonnie And Clyde [1967]
This Arthur Penn (father of actors Sean & Chris Penn) movie is one of the landmark films of the 20th Century, as it changed the course of American cinema forever. Having watched this classic again recently, I was struck at how brilliant the supporting actors are (Gene Hackman, M.J. Pollard, Estelle Parsons, Charlie Richard Pryor)- a surrogate family that made the film swing outside its frontline as well as tweaking the Hollywood rulebook.


Though Warner Bros had dumped the film in 1967, star Warren Beatty badgered the studio into a second release. Bonnie and Clyde then grossed over $20 million at the USA box office, landing on the cover of Time as the harbinger of the "New Cinema". Heavily influenced by the European art movies of the early 1960s, ... Read More:

8.Trigger Happy [1997] starring: Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Richard Dreyfuss, Jeff Goldblum, Diane Lane
directed by: Larry Bishop
June 04, 2001
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Trigger Happy [1997]
Criminally overlooked in its release, this is quirky American cinema at its best. Jeff Goldblum does his regular schtick but well enough to drive things onwards - it's Gabriel Byrne as "Brass Balls Ben London" and Richard Dreyfuss as the quietly menacing "Vic" plus a neatly sinister turn from Kyle MacLachlan that really stamps "cult" all over this ... the terrific script does it no harm either, witty, tight and slightly stagey.

If you like David Mamet films and a couple of the leads, this is unmissable.


NOTE: the DVD transfer is not great - it's letterboxed - so if picture quality is important to you then this is best avoided.

9.Arizona Dream [1995] starring: Johnny Depp, Jerry Lewis, Faye Dunaway, Lili Taylor, Vincent Gallo
directed by: Emir Kusturica
April 12, 1999
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
VHS : Arizona Dream [1995]
This film is a relatively early piece of work by the Bosnian-born director Emir Kusturica, who is well known for the utterly zany but wildly entertaining Black Cat, White Cat, a cheerfully demented film set in a sprawling gypsy encampment on the banks of the Danube in Serbia. In Arizona Dream, Kusturica experimented with the surrealism that later made him famous, but perhaps because the film was set outside former Yugoslavia, and involved non-Balkan actors and a cultural context that was alien to him, the experiment didn't really work.

Several fatal flaws manifest themselves almost from the start. First, the main actors are hopelessly miscast. Johnny Depp struggles in vain to make sense of a role that is weakly defined and full of contradictions; Faye Dunaway, who looks ... Read More:
