Year: 1976 Director: Martin Scorsese Great Because...: It leaves you guessing. Is the final scene, in which Travis Bickle has a last encounter with Betsy in his cab, the dying vision of a man who has gone over the edge or is it meant to be "real," his reward for enacting brutal vigilante ...

* * * * Director: Martin Provost Starring: Yolande Moreau, Ulrich Tukur Some people just can’t catch a break. That certainly seems to have been the case with French painter Seraphine Louis, better known as Seraphine de Senlis. However, though Martin Provost’s film examines the many ...

#5: Kyle McLachlan as Cary Grant ( Touch of Pink ) Words can't properly express how much I love McLachlan in this movie. He captures the playful charm of Grant and in doing so helps keep the film light and breezy. Plus, I giggle every time I think about him showing up to the Indian wedding ...

* * Director: Carl Bassai Starring: Carrie-Anne Moss, Callum Keith Rennie Carl Bassai’s Normal is your standard issue multiple storylines, all somehow connected, kind of story. Fortunately what it lacks in originality, it makes up for where the performances are concerned. At its heart, the ...

* * * Director: Wallace Worsley Starring: Lon Chaney First published in 1831, Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of those stories that has really taken on a life of its own in popular culture. It’s one of the more frequently adapted books in film history (though it hasn’t been ...

* * * * Director: Tom Tykwer Starring: Ben Wishaw, Alan Rickman, Dustin Hoffman Perfume: The Story of a Murder is a film that absolutely should not work and yet, miraculously, does. It takes as its centre the sense of smell, perhaps the most difficult of the five senses to convey through ...

#5: Clark Gable & Joan Crawford ( Dance Fools Dance, Possessed, Laughing Sinners, Dancing Lady, Forsaking All Others, Chained, Love On The Run, Strange Cargo ) Onscreen and off Gable and Crawford had heat and they played off each other brilliantly no matter what the genre. #4: Katherine ...

* * * Director: Kelly Makin Starring: Dave Foley, Bruce McCullough, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, Scott Thompson What works as a 2 minutes sketch doesn’t always translate effectively to a 2 hour film – just look at the number of failed films based on Saturday Night Live characters. The ...

David Carradine's performance in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 was one of my favourite supporting turns of 2004 and I figured he'd get an Oscar nod for sure. I mean, aside from the fact that the performance is great, he also had that Tarantino career revival magic that worked for John Travolta in Pulp ...

* * * * Director: Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne Starring: Jeremie Renier, Deborah Francois “What did I do?” asks Bruno (Jeremie Renier), the protagonist of L’Enfant . It’s a question so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud at it, and yet it’s so fitting that it would be asked by this ...

* * * Director: Sergei Eisenstein Starring: Nikolai Cherkasov Alexander Nevsky is an epic historical film from Russian master Sergei Eisenstein. Made in 1938 at a time when tensions between the Soviet Union and Germany were high, the film has heavy political overtones and suffered the ...

#5: 12 Angry Men The tagline is a bit on the melodramatic side, but the artwork itself is great, showing the jurors divided by the murder weapon and then the solitary shot of Henry Fonda at the bottom. It really manages to encapsulate the spirit of the film. #4: Anatomy of a Murder ...

* * * Director: David Steinberg Starring: Dave Foley, Jennifer Tilly, Colm Feore An ordinary man, framed for a crime he didn't commit, on the run in a chase that will culminate at the top of an American monument - but, no, this is not North By Northwest , though in its own, goofy way, The ...

* * * * Director: Paolo Sorrentino Starring: Toni Servillo If Tarantino ever makes a political biopic, it’ll probably look a lot like Il Divo , Paolo Sorrentino’s vibrant, sometimes confounding, look at the career of former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti (Toni Servillo). What ...

#5: Helena Bonham Carter In an age where celebrities are styled to the point that they barely seem human, it's kind of refreshing to see one who just totally can't be bothered. At the same time, however, when you consistently leave the house looking like you've just put on every random bit ...
