Death Becomes Her (Full Screen)
»rank: 3953
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:This 1992 black comedy by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Back to the Future trilogy) features some of the most eye-popping special effects of the '90s in its story of a narcissistic star (Meryl Streep) who steals the husband (Bruce Willis) of another woman (Goldie Hawn) and continues her rivalry with her even after death. A magic potion keeps both women going despite the punishment of murderous bullets and ...

Sabrina (Widescreen)
»rank: 6540
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Julia 0rmond faced one of the great challenges of her career when she tried to re-create Audrey Hepburn's title role in the 1995 remake of 1954's Sabrina. Happily, 0rmond performed admirably, and while she may not have the same gamine charm of Hepburn, she makes the role her own. ln fact, her transformation from mousy girl to sophisticated young woman is actually more dramatic in this updated version. The basic plot is the same--chauffeur's ...

Heart and Souls (Widescreen)
»rank: 5408
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Robert Downey Jr. has never been more charming than in this comedy about a yuppie who is revisited in adulthood by the spirits of four people who had been his friends as a child. The ghosts (Kyra Sedgwick, Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, Tom Sizemore) all have unfinished business in this world before they can move on to the next, and Downey's character agrees to let them inhabit his body while they sort it all ...

The Lost Boys: Two Disc Special Edition
»rank: 4731
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher's films, it's conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons, and granted, there's some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. ln Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step further as a memorable bully vampire who leads ...

Harold and Maude (Widescreen)
»rank: 5870
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Black comedies don't come much blacker than this cult favorite from 1972, and they don't come much funnier, either. lt seemed that director Hal Ashby was the perfect choice to mine a mother lode of eccentricity from the original script by Colin Higgins, about the unlikely romance between a death-obsessed 19-year-old named Harold (Bud Cort) and a life-loving 79-year-old widow named Maude (Ruth Gordon). They meet at a funeral, and Maude finds something ...

Boogie Nights (Widescreen)
»rank: 3299
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Even if the notorious 1970s porn-filmmaking milieu doesn't exactly turn you on, don't let it turn you off to this movie's extraordinary virtues, either. Boogie Nights is one of the key movies of the 1990s, and among the most ambitious and exuberantly alive American movies in years. lt's also the breakthrough for an amazing new director, whose dazzling kaleidoscopic style here recalls the Robert Altman of Nashville and the Martin Scorsese of GoodFellas. Although ...

The Great Outdoors (Widescreen)
»rank: 5722
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This hit-and-miss 1988 comedy pairs John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in a story of one family's summer vacation all but ruined by the uninvited appearance of another, more loutish family. Howard Deutch (Some Kind of Wonderful) directs from a half-hearted John Hughes script, which reduces Hughes's jokes-and-epiphanies formula (The Breakfast Club, Home Alone) to true gaudiness. 0n the other hand, Annette Bening makes her screen debut here. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, ...
