Comments
Tokyo Story
Never fails to astonish in terms of nuanced drama and family love.
Citizen Kane
Game changing in style and delivery. An enthralling story beautifully told.
7th Heaven
Inspirational and quite, quite, beautiful. A love story to be cherished.
The Piano
Heart-rending, powerful and wonderfully performed. A masterpiece from a real film talent.
Vertigo
Gripping, enthralling and mesmeric… a master at the top of his game.
The Awful Truth
A blissfully funny screwball comedy with Mr Smith one of the very best supporting characters.
A Matter of Life and Death
Sumptuously beautiful and gently profound.
In the Mood for Love
An elegant and beautiful love story with magnificent central performances.
The Band Wagon
A musical delight with great songs, wonderful dancing and Fred Astaire stupendously classy.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Refreshing and strikingly complex love story… one of the great films of the 21st century.
