Withnail and I (1987)

“We're in the right time, the right place. And we see the right kinds of people. But the fact remains that the observations and depictions are fragmented. Rarely do they amass any momentum.” –

The Breakfast Club (1985)
87%
“Almost miraculously, the movie escapes and transcends the dreary land of adolescent pettiness, moving us to laughter and at times bringing us close to tears. Finally, we have a movie about teenagers which does not treat its audiences as imbeciles.” –

Blue Velvet (1986)
91%
“Because it is made by a man who knows how to entertain, how to make a movie, Blue Velvet cannot be dismissed as junk. It is, I am afraid, one of those rare movies which are both disturbing and compelling. As I said: high-art trash. ” –

All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)

“A film with technical expertise, it resembles one which might have been written as an afterthought by people who can draw better than they can write. The story is leaden and overworked, perfunctory and predictable. ” –

Twister (1996)

“With the aid of computer-generated effects not possible even a few years ago, threatening sound effects and impressively staged scenes of destruction, Twister survives and almost transcends its paltry plot.” –

“Remember the Gandhi of Ben Kingsley? Wait until you seem him here as Don Logan, a psychotic gangster, the British equivalent of Pesci in GoodFellas. Kingsley's work is more bizarrely eccentric. And more accomplished.” –
