The Peanut Butter Falcon
MTR Network
Joi Childs
Peanut Butter Falcon 's a feel-good movie in every sense of the word, driven by stellar performances. But most importantly, we get a hero whose community isn't represented enough in films - and the few times they are, it's stereotypical.

Gone With the Wind
Matt's Movie Reviews
Matt Easterbrook
Gone With The Wind is among my favorite movies of all time, and it would be useless to go on and on about how great I think it is.

The Green Mile, while it does have a few noticeable faults, is ultimately an effective and extremely entertaining motion picture.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Matt's Movie Reviews
Matt Easterbrook
Seems to forgo characterization and plot development in favor of action sequences that don't necessarily feature as much exciting action as in its predecessor.

The Insider
Matt's Movie Reviews
Matt Easterbrook
With masterful performances, especially by Pacino and Plummer, and a script with some backbone and integrity to boot, it's definitely one to check out if you can.

L.A. Confidential
Matt's Movie Reviews
Matt Easterbrook
Hanson cast two actors from Down Under, Crowe and Pearce, in the lead roles of Bud White and Ed Exley, respectively. This decision works wonders for the film; if it had had big name stars in the lead, the viewer would most possibly be distracted by this.

Lawrence of Arabia
Matt's Movie Reviews
Matt Easterbrook
There are great action scenes, and the photography by Lean regular Freddie Young is, I believe, is the best ever put on film.

Who would have thought that a Keanu Reeves movie could be intellectually as well as visually satisfying?
