My Beautiful Laundrette might be my favorite film of the 1980's. (Here's a recent tribute.) The Grifters is one of the best of the 1990's. Dangerous Liaisons is superb - so smart, so exciting. I love Prick Up Your Ears. Many of the rest are very, very good. And others are watchable. And a few are not so great. Read Bradshaw's list.
