The Patsy
(1928)
|
Robyn Karney
|
Adapted from a play, King Vidor's silent retains some of the dialogue in the intertitles and showcases the not inconsiderable comedic talents of Marion Davies.

Vanishing Point
(1997)
|
Maj Canton

Writer/director Charles Robert Carner revs up the action but eventually runs out of gas, despite a good cast and scenic desert locations.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
(2026)

James Mottram

Returning us to the lurid, trippy Mushroom Kingdom, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is equally barmy, if not quite as fresh or funny as its predecessor.

It's vicious and spiky in all the best ways, and neatly ticks genre boxes with its excellent gore scenes.

Au grand balcon
(1949)
|
David Parkinson

While director Henri Decoin includes an extended scene of stunt flying, it's his focus on the human aspects that keeps the various storylines airborne.

That Summer
(1979)
|
Terry Staunton
|
The film is not without charm, though, with praiseworthy performances from the leading man, Julie Shipley as the object of his affections, and more seasoned players John Junkin and Stephanie Cole in supporting roles.

Heat

With Christopher Nolan among the many film-makers to cite Heat as an inspiration, it enjoys the enviable legacy of being always admired, often imitated, but never bettered.

Something in the Water

On the downside, the central couple's issues seem bolted on from another story, the dialogue is often unconvincing and the low-budget sharks are very, very silly.
