Withnail and I (1987)
83%
“In many ways Bruce Robinson's Withnail and I is what the great and good British film industry is all about. It is an eccentric, intimate and well-written independent production that would never have seen the light of day in Hollywood.” –

Rosa Luxemburg (1986)

Aliens (1986)
94%
“It is rare that the sequel equals the original. Aliens, multitudinous sons of Alien, surpasses its progenitor with a strong story and extra extraterrestrial nastiness.” –

An American Tail (1986)

Always (1985)
“The result is shamelessly self-indulgent, specializing in the nauseous habit of picking psychological scabs which is peculiar to Americans. Excoriating for them and excruciating for us. ” –
