The Sopranos: Season 1
»rank: 2487
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Sopranos, writer-producer-director David Chase's extraordinary television series, is nominally an urban gangster drama, but its true impact strikes closer to home: Like 1999's other screen touchstone, American Beauty, the HB0 series chronicles a dysfunctional, suburban American family in bold relief. And for protagonist Tony Soprano, there's the added complexity posed by heading twin families, his collegial mob clan and his own, nouveau riche brood. The series' brilliant first season is built around what ...

Two-Lane Blacktop
»rank: 7769
Chroniques et points de vue:From :James Taylor is The Driver, a car-obsessed racer with stringy hair and a concentration that precludes conversation.

Animal Farm (Full Screen)
»rank: 7259
Chroniques et points de vue:From :After the technical achievement of Babe, it was inevitable that 'talking animal' effects would be applied to the serious themes of George 0rwell's Animal Farm. A bitterly satirical indictment of Stalinist Russia and the failure of Communism, 0rwell's 1945 novel is a time-honored classic, so it's only fitting that this TNT production remains largely faithful to 0rwell's potent narrative. A showcase for the impressive creations of Jim Henson's Creature Shop (where director John Stephenson ...

Earth vs. The Flying Saucers
»rank: 7259
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A textbook example of '50s-era science fiction, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers boasts not only a solid script and competent performances, but some genuinely impressive stop-motion effects courtesy of one of the industry's uncontested masters, Ray Harryhausen. Scientist Hugh Marlowe (who faced a more benevolent invader from space five years earlier in The Day the Earth Stood Still) discovers that UF0s are responsible for the destruction of a series of exploratory space rockets launched ...
