If only Mel Brooks could make a fiercely
funny satire like Blazing Saddles again. After his late-seventies
peak, the poor guy seems to be slumming these days, what with
how Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men In Tights and Dracula: Dead
and Loving It all turned... see more
Field of Dreams is based on a novel by W.P. Kinsella that I thought to be practically unfilmable. It's about Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), a '60s liberal, who never got along with his hard-bitten father about anything but their love. see more

4. Trainspotting
It would be pushing it to call
Trainspotting a serious work of art or a major statement about
anything, but as an edgy, artful piece of entertainment it

5. The Sword in the Stone

a funny scene in a coffee shop, and then puts them through

deals with its bloody aftermath, as they . see more
9. The Nativity Story

10. Dead Poets Society
"Dead Poets Society" is a collection of pious platitudes
masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something:
doing your own thing, I think. It's about an inspirational,
unconventional English teacher and his students at "the
best prep school in America" and how he challenges. see more
