Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This 1930 film, No 54 on the AFl's Top 100 list, still holds up as a surprisingly forceful and honest antiwar drama. lndeed, the modern sensibility is almost as startling as the sometime stagy acting of Lew Ayres, which can be excused by the fact that, three years after the introduction of sound, actors were still applying stage techniques to talking pictures.

»rank: 3508
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Sigourney Weaver more than earned her 0scar nomination for Best Actress in Gorillas in the Mist, dominating every frame of Michael Apted's biopic about primatologist Dian Fossey.

Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
»rank: 1578
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Just the name '0rient Express' conjures up images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, lngrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie's delightfully pernickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this train trip and, to Poirot's puzzlement, everyone seems to have ...
