Little Women (1994) |
A lovely story and vivacious stars make this warm-hearted saga of home, family and growing up - written, directed and produced by women - a joyful standard bearer in the new wave of "women's pictures". - Empire Magazine

The Horse Whisperer (1998) |
This is the fastidiously rendered work of a craftsman, and a sob-inducing, beautifully old-fashioned affair which is bound to irritate the hell out of a younger audience. - Empire Magazine

Bringing Up Baby (1938) |
Countless films have imitated Bringing Up Baby, most famously Peter Bogdanovich's homage What's Up, Doc?, but it is futile to look for its equal. - Empire Magazine

Hangin' With the Homeboys (1991) |

Backdraft (1991) |
Dramatically, of course, it's utter twaddle, but with state-of-the-art incendiary special effects and a sex scene on top of a fire engine, there's plenty of bang for your buck. - Empire Magazine

Enemies, a Love Story (1989) |
Mazursky and his co-writer, Roger Simon, have done a difficult adaptation job well, concentrating disparate elements of humour, sex and despair into a tragicomedy of unusual depth. - Empire Magazine

Running on Empty (1988) |
Despite Lumet's home-spun pincer movement on the espionage/conspiracy genres, cliché still sneaks up and nips the film into submission. - Empire Magazine

National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) |
There may not be a laugh every minute, but there are enough to satisfy most devotees of the relentlessly silly, tasteless school of parody. - Empire Magazine

Tomorrow (2018) |
As self-started projects go, Street and Brennan can be pleased with theirs, the finished film as much a tribute to optimism and perseverance as the plot. - The List

The Keeper (2018) |
It's reasonably pleasant for about the length of a game of football, yet it goes on and on as tragedies strike and things culminate in a ludicrously melodramatic turn. - The List

Practical Magic (1998) |
It tootles along being cute... but to further its notions of sisterhood and the power of women, it also takes a spin through Thelma And Louise territory, then revisits The Exorcist to up the supernatural content. It's enough to make your head spin. - Empire Magazine

The Front Runner (2018) |

That Summer (2017) |
For those fascinated by the Maysles brothers' classic 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, a portrait of the eccentric, impoverished socialites Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie, this is a Beale-apalooza. - The List
