Fans of these films have to count on catching up to them on video and DVD, but even the most hard-core devotees have trouble remembering what sounded good when a film was originally released. This book will remedy that situation. This collect ion of renowned film critic Kenneth Turan's reviews, now revised and updated to factor in the tests of time, point viewers toward the films they can't quite remember, but should not miss. Moviegoers know they can trust Turan's taste. His eclectic selection represents the kind of sophisticated, adult, and entertaining films intelligent viewers are hungry for. More importantly, Turan shows readers what makes these unusual films so great, revealing how talented filmmakers and actors have managed to create the highs we experience in front of the silver screen."--From publisher description. ; films reviewed include ADventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Bhaji on the Beach, Bloody SUnday, The Commitments, Dead Man Walking, Deconstructing Harry, Devil in a Blue Dress, Flirting with Disaster, Hilary and JAckie, The Iron Giant, Jesus's Son, Living in Oblivion, Love and Death on Long Island, Love Serenade, The Madness of King George, Muriel's Wedding, Next Stop Wonderland, Pollock, Rat catcher, Ronin, Searching for Bobby Fischer, The Secret of Roan Inish, Sexy Beast, A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries, The Station Agent, To Die For, 12 Monkeys, The Waterdance, Wonder Boys, Aimee & Jaguar, The Blue Kite, The Dreamlife of Angels, Eat Drink Man Woman, Lumumba, Spirited Away, Das Boot, Decalogue, Eyes Without a Face, Pepe Le Moko, Touch of Evil, Vertigo, The Wild Bunch, etc ; remainder mark at bottom, else FINE/VG
