Nashville (Widescreen)
»rank: 3347
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:This 1975 film sits near the top of any list of the best films of the 1970s, perhaps in the top five and, in some people's minds, at the pinnacle itself. Robert Altman, at his most Altmanesque, spins together plot strands involving two dozen people over the course of one particularly busy weekend in Music City, USA. Though several of the story lines deal with country-western stars--played by Henry Gibson, Ronee Blakley and Karen Black--the plot also deals with the country scene's wannabes, the business people ...

The Conversation (Widescreen)
»rank: 2636
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bleak and mysterious, Francis Ford Coppola's taut masterpiece about responsibility, privacy, alienation, and paranoia is part Hitchcockian thriller, part grim character study. Hackman plays Harry Caul, a guarded wreck of a human being whose profession as the world's greatest surveillance expert has detached him from everyday reality. Though a topnotch voyeur, amorally earning his living by bugging other people's conversations and selling the tapes to clients, Caul keeps his own life fiercely private. He has no friends, just associates in the wiretapping business, all of whom he ...

Ninth Gate (Widescreen)

Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:L'horreur à la façon de Roman Polanski ne passe pas par le spectaculaire ni par le choquant, mais par la présence du mal qu'on devine dans l'ombre et qui transparaît dans l'étrangeté des personnages. Pendant un certain moment, il semble que La Neuvième Porte, adaptée du roman Le Club Dumas d'Arturo Pérez-Reverte, puisse reproduire l'atmosphère oppressante des chefs-d'oeuvre que sont Répulsion et Rosemary's Baby. Johnny Depp est calme, presque endormi dans le rôle de Dean Corso, un collectionneur de livres rares cynique et sans scrupules, embauché par ...

Candidate (Full Screen)
»rank: 2295
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Michael Ritchie's 1972 drama about a political idealist (Robert Redford) recruited to make a run for the Senate is still engrossing and still a terribly accurate reflection of the contemporary campaign process. ln one of his trademark roles as a man haunted by some shadow of inauthenticity (see Downhill Racer, The Natural, The Great Gatsby, Sneakers, and such), Redford is superb as a first-time candidate watching his values and control over his message disappear in the age of TV-friendly prefabrication. Peter Boyle is ideal as his ...

Black Stallion: Returns
»rank: 14029
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A rare sequel that can stand alone, 1983's The Black Stallion Returns is both a fun follow-up to the 1979 Carroll Ballard/Francis Ford Coppola film and a fine adventure in its own right. Kelly Reno returns as the now adolescent, deceptively ordinary Alec Ramsay, who stows away on a plane for Casablanca after the titular horse is kidnapped by Arabs. Getting him back pitches Alec into the middle of tribal rivalries and all sorts of complicated, dangerous intrigue. The cast includes Teri Garr, Vincent Spano, and Woody ...

Owl and the Pussycat (Widescreen)
»rank: 17849
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Good credentials abound in this 1970 adaptation of Bill Manoff's hit Broadway comedy. Buck Henry wrote the screenplay, and Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) directs the surprisingly funny pairing of Barbra Streisand and George Segal as, respectively, a semi-literate prostitute and an egghead. Streisand and Segal turn out to have excellent complementary styles (both are good at playing incredulity), and while the film is not always as witty as it could be, scenes are crisp and highly entertaining. --Tom Keogh

Stunt Man (Widescreen/Full Screen) [Limited Edition]

Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The 'lost' sleeper hit of 1980 has since become one of the most revered cult movies of all time, largely due to its bawdy, irreverent story about the art and artifice of filmmaking and an outrageously clever performance by Peter 0'Toole. As megalomaniacal film director Eli Cross, 0'Toole plays a larger-than-life figure whose ability to manipulate reality is like a power-trip narcotic. The focus of his latest mind game is a fugitive (Steve Railsback) recruited to replace a stuntman killed during a recent on-set accident. ln return ...
