Three Colours: Red
Irène Jacob plays Valentine, a runway model living in Geneva, who crosses paths with a retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who's a bit of an eavesdropper. Initially repelled, she becomes intrigued by this man, as do we... Kieslowski's sublime adieu.
The Shawshank Redemption
Frank Darabont's directorial debut is an engrossing, slow burn prison drama with stellar turns from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It's a firm fan favourite.
Chungking Express
Chungking Express is a fluid, poetic, almost throwaway film set in Hong Kong's edgy Chungking Mansions district, and comprising two simple, short story-like through-lines, both involving forlorn cops.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Four Weddings begins with an onslaught of fucks. It's the first signal that this rom-com will break from tradition, despite the ritualized structural conceit described in the title. The witty screenplay is by Richard Curtis — it's still his best.
The Lion King
With its beautifully drawn East African setting, its humour, pathos, and engaging characters, as well as its stirring songs, The Lion King stands as the pinnacle of traditional Disney family entertainment.
