Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

“With [Last Crusade], Steven Spielberg has regained the inspired sense of humor that made Raiders of the Lost Ark such fun. He demonstrates convincingly that he has no peer among directors today when it comes to the humorous approach to action-adventure.” –

A Dry White Season (1989)

The Last Emperor (1987)
86%
“Though The Last Emperor is nearly three hours long, it is so consistently engrossing that the time seems quickly whisked away by Bertolucci's alternately stark and billowing atmospherics. ” –
