| Introduction | Top 5 Movies: Ran - Akira Kurosawa's grandest epic; part King Lear, part the story of 16th century warlord. A ruthless conqueror, grown philosophical in old age, wants to hand down a prosperous kingdom to his sons and is thwarted at every turn by consequences of his earlier decisions. Kiss Me Deadly - Noir meets sci-fi meets horror meets Mickey Spillane. The best of all possible worlds. All Over Me - A timeless tale, 1997 style. The story of a fifteen year New York City girl who just wants to start a rock band with the best friend she's rapidly falling in love with. The Big Sleep - Bogart and Bacall pull together the scattered fragments of a Raymond Chandler novel and some of the snappiest dialogue ever to come out of Hollywood. It may not have a coherent storyline but nothing this fast, furious, and funny really needs one. Vertigo - Hitchcock's story of one man's doomed quest to recreate a lost love in the person of another woman. A heartbroken, terrifying meditation on the nature of romantic obsession. |
