Shall We Dance? (1996)
90%
“[Not] quite art, and it doesn’t qualify as mass entertainment either. But it’s alert to its characters’ constantly evolving desires in ways that high- and low-culture movies, with their strict aesthetics or their mass-market formulas, tend not to be. ” –

Contact (1997)
68%
