Yeah, yeah. Curro Jimenéz, a master of knives and pistols. A favorite of my entire family and my childhood idol. It wouldn't hurt to be reminded of it again after a long time.

I don't understand why others are so excited about this. This adaptation of Hugo's novel is not even close to the one with Jean Gabin and Hossein's version with Lino Ventura. Geoffrey Rush delivers his standard and the others don't shine either. The whole thing looks more like an expensive TV production, without a shred of originality. A standard job, nothing more.

The dark journey of the private eye to hell itself. Very atmospheric, dark and depressing, and I like that. Rourke gives the performance of his life and De Niro, although he only appears for a few minutes, convinces you with his long fingernails and demonic appearance that no one would be better suited to the role of Lou Cypher. All this in an audiovisual treat that literally gets under your skin.

Yes, my friends, this truly failed parody is a clear Boo! But there is that one scene that made me and my friend laugh incredibly hard. It's so inept that it's actually kind of brilliant. Remember Spielberg's Jurassic Park, when Sam Neil and the kids are hiding behind a fallen tree with lizards jumping over it? There’s something similar here. Chickens jump over a trunk with the help of a simple trick, the effect is very rudimentary, but at the same time incredibly charming, even brilliant. I can't help but give this scene a two, although I should slap myself for it.

France’s acting icon in his best and most famous role. Entertainment that still works today and that Delon successfully continued in The Black Tulip. Humour, action and a beautiful Gina Lollobrigida, what else can you ask for?

The true story of a warrior in a horse's body, the best racehorse in history. The horse races are brilliantly shot. A nice film for everyone, regardless of age.

The fate of two friends and athletes during World War I. A film with an anti-war, humanist message and a haunting, tragic ending that will always remain in my memory. Mel Gibson fans will enjoy this one too, this film opened his path to worldwide fame, as well as Peter Weir's.

This brings back memories of my childhood. It was one of those things I grew up with together with my friends. We often played at it and I always was Gustik. I'm sure I'd look at it differently today, but back then I lived it. I can't avoid the nostalgia in this case

The four madmen of Les Charlots are at the forefront of the struggle for the survival of a small shop that is facing stiff competition from a large supermarket. Entertaining and in many places relevant today. When I occasionally walk among the shelves of the nearby big supermarket, I sometimes remember the sabotage antics of Les Charlots. All you need is a toy catapult, a cake with whipped cream and the show can begin.

Twice the best. The best parody of trash literature with an invincible agent and the best film with Belmondo. Plus the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset, so there's no argument. Smart and funny entertainment.
