Moonstruck (1987) 90% EDIT “Moonstruck represents a return to good writing with real, fully developed characters, not just some sensational "film concept" slapped on the screen with flashy imagery. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Empire of the Sun (1987) 75% EDIT “I admire [Steven Spielberg] for sticking to the brattishness of Jim, which is implicit in the book, but what the director failed to work out was a way of making us care about what happens to him. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review *batteries not Included (1987) 55% EDIT “Batteries Not Included is both ineffectual and dated. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% EDIT “Cary Elwes, as the dashing hero, has the swordsmanship and the one-liners to deal conclusively with anyone who doesn't believe in fairy-tales. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Predator (1987) 64% EDIT “As action adventure films go "Predator," directed by John McTiernan, is no more disreputable than many of its ilk, although this hardly justifies its inclusion as a major attraction at the recent London Film Festival.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 30, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “Fish bite men in From Beyond which is not far enough away.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% EDIT “... an artistic and liberating experience. Desert Hearts is nothing of the kind. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% EDIT “The standard sort of video schlock. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 14, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% EDIT “The film is vulgar without being very funny.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Explorers (1985) 49% EDIT “It is as inventive as you might expect and more original than you might hope.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 84% EDIT “In many ways Bruce Robinson's Withnail and I is what the great and good British film industry is all about. It is an eccentric, intimate and well-written independent production that would never have seen the light of day in Hollywood.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% EDIT “...[Do the right Thing] is a bold, original and deceptively well-constructed piece of work.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) 81% EDIT “This adventure is harmless enough in its save the (mechanical) whales way. However, it is slow to get going on the glittering repartee and over-long.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Flight of the Navigator (1986) 85% EDIT “It is good, cheery stuff and stimulating in a healthy Boy's Own tradition.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review College (1927) 92% EDIT “Delightful for any age. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Blue Velvet (1986) 91% EDIT “Blue Velvet is extraordinary, an accomplished exercise in voyeurism which peels back the genteel layers of a nice, refined community to the dirty, turbulent, dark soul beneath. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice (1988) 83% EDIT “The film is splendid fun, bizarre, original and consistently entertaining. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Rosa Luxemburg (1986) 80% EDIT “It is a performance of tremendous integrity by Barbara Sukowa but directors cannot bore audiences into submission. That is culpable alienation.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Highlander (1986) 69% EDIT “Made with such superstyle Highlander does have entertainment value but this can only be a one-off.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% EDIT “It is rare that the sequel equals the original. Aliens, multitudinous sons of Alien, surpasses its progenitor with a strong story and extra extraterrestrial nastiness.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Spaceballs (1987) 52% EDIT “It is a quite ridiculous and hugely enjoyable spoof.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% EDIT “Enormous suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy The Color Purple, but it is enjoyable as a spectacular series of set pieces sustained by a virtuoso performance from Whoopi Goldberg. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 25, 2023 Full Review An American Tail (1986) 76% EDIT “Tiger (the voice of Dom DeLuise) steals the film, which is entertaining, but for me lacks the magic of the Disney classics.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 18, 2023 Full Review Crossing Delancey (1988) 82% EDIT “Crossing Delancey is as pedestrian as crossing the road.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 9, 2023 Full Review The Boy Who Could Fly (1986) 59% EDIT “What is likable about this film is that it extols children being kind to each other. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 28, 2023 Full Review
