'Well give the man a hand...' Scathing satire on corporate 80's consumerism mixed with bloody comic book violence! A bit like 'American Psycho' if you think about it?!

Something of a companion to the above! A burnt-out director (Hal Ashby) & an established screenwriter (Oliver Stone) combine in LA mystery involving Jeff Bridges alcoholic ex-cop! Needs a DVD release!

Sometimes you just gotta say, "What the F*ck?" Never has more accurate advice been given in movie history! Slick comedy about money, anxiety (& running a brothel) that towers above its rivals!

The debut from Michael Mann ranks among the decades strongest crime thrillers due to it's gritty yet human approach! James Caan also considers it one of his best films - 'nuff said!

Finally out on DVD, Pacino's undercover cop trying to catch a killer in NYC's gay leather/S&M scene was a massive influence on 'Se7en' & had it's premise altered for football film 'ID'!

Before it was violated by the likes of Richard Curtis, British comedy peaked with its funniest & most quotable film ever! Altogether now: 'Monty you terrible c**t!'

Has all the defining hallmarks of what went wrong with the 80's: cocaine, fashion, mobile's the size of bricks, vanity & GREED! Gordon Gekko is THE poster-boy for aspiring yuppies everywhere!

Proper gangster film, on a par with 'Get Carter' & a million miles away from the hackneyed capers of Guy Ritchie! The powerful ending is worth the price of admission alone!

Groundbreaking sci-fi cat-&-mouse tale, never bettered by the man who went on to make such greats as 'Aliens', 'The Abyss' & of course 'T2'! Tech-noir of the highest order!

Walter Hill's violent, hilarious & decidedly non-PC buddy movie is the best of its kind & turned Eddie Murphy into a global phenomenon! Sadly, they do not make 'em like this anymore!

The benchmark for 90's independent cinema & an insightful look at the human condition! Raw talent was unearthed in the shape of director Steven Soderbergh!

A nightmarish vision of depraved small-town America as seen through the eyes of David Lynch! With nods towards controversial 50's horror 'Peeping Tom' it can't help but get under your skin!
