Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Nothing in this first Trek film moves above a glacial speed.” – BBC.com Sep 11, 2001 Full Review Adventures of Felix (2001) 68% 3/5 EDIT “While you may not guffaw long and loud, the film will get a laugh out of you at intervals and you're rarely without a smile.” – BBC.com Jun 6, 2001 Full Review Fame (1980) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Alan Parker manages to make this a fairly horrible story even while it remains entertaining.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Annie Hall (1977) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It's a slight story but what makes this film significant in Allen's long career is that it's really the first time he wrote adult characters.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 4/5 EDIT “The writing and direction plays with the [romantic comedy] form and your expectations alike throughout, and with such good performances the film makes for a deliciously prickly ride with laugh-out-loud moments and scenes that resonate through the story.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Children can see it as a bright, frothy adventure while adults will appreciate the subtlety and the sheer wit.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Play It Again, Sam (1972) 97% 3/5 EDIT “This is very much one of Allen's earlier, funnier films.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Sneakers (1992) 80% 3/5 EDIT “This is an energetic, fun, almost enchanting thriller with genuine moments of tension and a good few thrills too.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Mask (1994) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Exuberant fun.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Flintstones (1994) 23% 1/5 EDIT “It's just a series of nicely shot and over-bright sets with the cast blocking your view of the background.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review The Fifth Element (1997) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Bruce Willis is good in an average role, Milla Jovovich is acceptable in a terrible role, but as ever Gary Oldman is terrific in how he seems to find just the right note for the film and threatens to take it over.” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2001 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) 98% 4/5 EDIT “You may never see a more beautiful movie - and certainly no more majestic film has yet been made.” – BBC.com Apr 16, 2001 Full Review In the Mood for Love (2000) 92% 4/5 EDIT “A beautifully-tailored, low key (but always dramatic) story.” – BBC.com Feb 7, 2001 Full Review Love & Basketball (2000) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A little treat of a tale that is exciting, touching and even moving.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chicken Run (2000) 97% 5/5 EDIT “It's The Great Escape as performed by chickens and is every bit as good as you could imagine.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Back to the Future Part II (1989) 63% 4/5 EDIT “The idea and the execution is so good that you could applaud.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Stuart Little (1999) 66% 2/5 EDIT “This is really a series of set pieces with the logic of seeing what scrapes the makers can get Stuart into next.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Billy Elliot (2000) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Engrossing, funny, very sad, very moving and very uplifting.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Cherry Falls (2000) 63% 2/5 EDIT “It becomes a balance between gory and very silly.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Wilde (1997) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Fry never appears to be acting at all, so perfect is his performance in the central role.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It's a treat to have a comedy as involving as a drama.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Back to the Future Part III (1990) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Not as tremendous as the first movie but it is thrilling, funny and very exciting.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% 3/5 EDIT “The film continually halts the action to repeat the plot to us, sometimes word for word.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The plot isn't perfect and it has holes in it (Hunt could just forge that list, he needn't really steal it) but most things happen for a reason, better than it just being time for the next action sequence.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Tootsie (1982) 91% 4/5 EDIT “It's jaunty, witty, and somehow satisfying despite being simple.” – BBC.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
