True Romance (Widescreen, Special Edition, Unrated Director's Cut, 2 Discs)
»rank: 5346
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:lt was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary 0ldman), ...

Mean Streets
»rank: 1714
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:After Martin Scorsese went to Hollywood in 1972 to direct the low-budget Boxcar Bertha for B-movie mogul Roger Corman, the young director showed the film to maverick director John Cassavetes and got an instant earful of urgent advice. 'lt's crap,' said Cassavetes in no uncertain terms, 'now go out and make something that comes from your heart.' Scorsese took the advice and focused his energy on Mean Streets, a riveting contemporary film about low-life gangsters in New York's Little ltaly that critic Pauline Kael would later ...

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
»rank: 2925
Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:Huitième réalisation de Jim Jarmusch, Ghost Dog possède le magnétisme hypnotique de son précédent film, Dead Man. En racontant les dernières heures d'un tueur black – incarné par un Forest Withaker jamais vu dans un tel état de grâce depuis Bird – poursuivi par ses anciens commanditaires mafieux, qui travaille et vit comme un samouraï, au corps lourd et massif mais filmé léger et aérien, ce film présenté au Festival de Cannes 1999 s'apparente à une variation jazzy-rap d'un bon vieux film noir. À l'image de son ...

Taxi Driver
»rank: 2925
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Taxi Driver is the definitive cinematic portrait of loneliness and alienation manifested as violence. lt is as if director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader had tapped into precisely the same source of psychological inspiration ('l just knew l had to make this film', Scorsese would later say), combined with a perfectly timed post-Watergate expression of personal, political and societal anxiety. Robert De Niro, as the tortured, ex-Marine cab driver Travis Bickle, made movie history with his chilling performance as one of the most memorably intense and ...

Crimes and Misdemeanors (Widescreen)
»rank: 4215
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Some critics and filmgoers have hailed this 1989 comedy-drama as Woody Allen's best film, and while that's certainly open for debate, a good case can be made that it's the most ambitious and morally complex of Allen's films. lt's the kind of movie that provokes heated philosophical debate about the role of God in our lives, the nature of guilt, and the circumstances that would allow a seemingly good, law-abiding family man and successful professional (Martin Landau) to commit a murder with no risk of being caught. ...

The best of the three is 'Life Lessons,' directed by Scorsese, about an artist (played by Nick Nolte) who uses his hypersuccess to lure beautiful young aspiring artists to serve as his assistant/lovers.

After Hours
»rank: 10951
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This well-regarded cult film is a tense Kafka-esque tale concerning what happens to a likable computer guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time in the city that never sleeps--New York. This is a New York infested with bizarre characters vividly brought to life by a once-in-a-lifetime cast. Griffin Dunne's wonderfully controlled comic performance as Paul Hackett is the glue that holds this increasingly surreal film together. Scorsese utilizes a full array of independent and underground film techniques, including special film speed manipulations, angles, ...

King of New York
»rank: 10951
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This low-budget crime thriller has the feel of a major blockbuster and owes its roots to the hard-edged crime movies of the 1930s. Christopher Walken stars as a drug kingpin who is released from prison and vows to use his position and influence--and criminal enterprise--for charitable means. But a core group of New York cops are all over him and his gang, determined to go to war, whatever the cost, to bring him down. Eventually his empire--headquartered at, of all places, Donald Trump's Plaza Hotel--crumbles under the ...
