Full Metal Jacket
(R18+)
1987
A superb ensemble cast falls in for action in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood), Cowboy (Arliss Howard) and more - all are plunged into a boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. (Lee Ermey) who views the would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less. The action is savage, the story unsparing, the dialogue spiked with scathing humor. Full Metal Jacket , from its rigors of basic training to its nightmare of combat in Hue City, scores a cinematic direct hit.

Oscar winner for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay. The Silence of the Lambs is definitely an experience that gets better and better each time you watch it, and it paved the way for some of the greatest sickos of 1990s cinema. Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter has entered the annals of pop culture and will never be forgotten, but it's really Jodie Foster's frail-yet-foolhardy protagonist that carries the film.

Spirited Away
(PG)
2002
Spirited Away is an astonishing work of poetic grandeur, surrealist spectacle, lucid imagination and visual symphony. It is an animated film from Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki (who also created My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke), the most influential craftsman in the profession. So highly regarded that John Lasseter, director of Toy Story and A Bug's Life, decided to approach Walt Disney Studios with a plan on how to release it for U.S. audiences. Basically, the voices were expertly dubbed by American actors. The lyrical beauty, the breathtaking enclosure of simple characters just standing still against fantastic backgrounds, the element of peace uncommon in plot busy cartoons; all...
