Jaws - Steven Spielberg - 1975

Excellent every time.

Spectre - Sam Mendes - 2015

Craig’s Bond develops a sense of humour, and there’s a lot of silhouette work.

Stoker - Park Chan-Wook - 2013

Beautiful, low key enchantment. Sexy piano playing.

The Awful Truth - Leo McCarey - 1937

Hilarious screwball comedy - truly, Cary Grant was a very talented man.

The First Wives Club - Hugh Wilson - 1996

Some pacing issues, but you can't really go wrong with a cast like this one.

Johnny Dangerously - Amy Heckerling - 1984

Some hilarious moments thanks to OTT characterization, but generally a bit of a slog.

Sunset Boulevard - Billy Wilder - 1950

Moments of brilliance.

Sense and Sensibility - John Alexander - 2008

Placid Austen TV adaptation - you're better watching the 1995 film.

Pretty Woman - Garry Marshall - 1990

Inspirational documentary for young women with great expectations. (ps check out Gere's cute wee face)

Good Sunday afternoon revenge film.

The 'Event Horizon' we deserve.

Total Recall - Paul Verhoeven - 1990

Where has this film been my whole life?

Sabrina - Sydney Pollack - 1995

Took a long time to go where we all knew it was going.

Oceans Eleven - Steven Soderbergh - 2011

Turns out Soderbergh was everything I was looking for.

Anastasia - Don Bluth, Gary Goldman - 1997

A punchier, spookier alternative to your average Disney Princess flick.

Guardians of the Galaxy - James Gunn - 2014

Andy Dwyer is in space and it’s a riot.
