My Man Godfrey
In this Art Deco screwball comedy, a socialite finds a man while on a scavenger hunt and, thinking that this victim of the Depression needs a job, hires him as the butler for her ditzy household. Hugely popular in its day, this is witty romantic comedy with barbed social commentary.

Naked Lunch
Leave it to Cronenberg to tackle William S. Burroughs' notorious – and notoriously "unfilmable" – novel. Then add in a score by Ornette Coleman.

Madonna: Truth or Dare
This documentary about Madonna's 1990 Blond Ambition tour is a chancy work of self-promotion but also succeeds in somewhat demystifying the icon she's become

Carlito's Way
De Palma's film is anchored by an interesting story, fine performances, and is hoisted by an intoxicating field of vision that also maintains a sharply focused perspective.

Edward Scissorhands
Burton's combination of fantastic and real imagery adds to this story's dreamy but satiric edge. Depp, as the the fragile but irresistibly fabulous title character, is "shear" delight.

Connery didn't want to play Bond anymore, and it shows, although Donald Pleasence's villain is as demonic as they come.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Wonderfully fun, albeit markedly chaotic and incoherent, Buckaroo Banzai is one of those movies that has earned a strong cult reputation on the basis of its mile-a-minute cross-cultural references and pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo.

Young Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is the original Spy Kid in this Chris Columbus-penned story about the master sleuth in a youth. The more one knows about Holmes lore, the more the film's foreshadowings of future cases will be evident.
