Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan

Better than its predecessor, this is a significantly meatier film to get one’s teeth into and events proceed at a much better pace. Well worth the effort of seeing.

Dances With Wolves

This is a fine film, beautifully made, with great attention to detail. One of the outstanding films of the late 20th century, everyone should see it and enjoy it.

Monty Python’s Life of Brian

This is funny and frantic Python madness that holds up well after all these years. Not as shocking now as when it was made, but still providing plenty of laughs.

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

Not quite as bad as many have said, this one has certainly been most enjoyed by youngsters new to Star Wars and is still worth spending a couple of hours with.

Star Trek – The Motion Picture

Needless to say, this is a must-see for all Trekkers, however there is still decent family fun to be had from it and it hasn’t aged too badly. It also serves as a good introduction to the sequels that have followed, most of which outclass this one.

Swordfish

Decent thriller with some fabulous cinematography and lots of action.

Once Upon a Time in America

Director Sergio Leone's final outing is an epic masterpiece on a grand scale that gets just about everything right.

Once Were Warriors

Outstanding New Zealand film that explores modern Maori life with great sympathy and in fine style. Gripping and highly recommended.

Life or Something Like It

Cheerful but predictable comedy romance that successfully fills a couple of hours but makes little impact.

Mr Deeds

This film fails to generate more than a few giggles, and it isn’t a patch on the Capra original.
