Field of Dreams | 1989 | 87 | 1 | - It's an epic. An epic about dreams realized, dreams deferred, and other dreams still unfulfilled. Better yet, it points to the necessity of not everyone catching their dreams. |
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial | 1982 | 82 | 2 | - One of those films I will forever be impartial to because I grew up with it. |
Platoon | 1986 | 80 | 3 | - This is THE Vietnam War movie. All others are just fighting for second. |
Raging Bull | 1980 | 80 | 3 | - In some ways, it's one of the saddest stories ever put on the big screen. |
Mississippi Burning | 1988 | 79 | 5 | - The suspense in 'Mississippi Burning' is palpable, but make no mistake: this is simply a thriller involving racism, not a film that actually delves into the issue. |
Dead Poets Society | 1989 | 78 | 6 | - The worst thing that happened to this film is Good Will Hunting came along and placed it squarely in its shadows. |
Amadeus | 1984 | 58 | 7 | - Rather than using quirks as a pleasant garnish, in Amadeus it is the main ingredient. And, somewhere past the two-hour mark, amusement turns into eye-rolling. |
