"This brilliant film about a boy’s coming of age introduced me to French cinema. Malle creates a fascinating picture of French family life; it’s both a comedy and a story of alienation. The mood of the more intimate scenes stays with me, as does the great jazz score."

"No poet since Wallace Stevens has used poetry as a vehicle for such ecstatic thinking. In her recent books, Graham has faced up to the peril of our moment more than any other writer I know. She has become not just a brilliant poet, but an essential witness."

"Van Sant is my hero. This movie is a concentration of all the things I love from him: brilliant camera games, muted and unsatisfied love(s), beautiful car scenes. The voice-over is stirring and true, and never useless or superfluous. It is authentic, intimate, universal, and ageless."

"This classic adaptation of John Buchan’s book is one of Hitchcock’s last British features and is filled with brilliant and funny set pieces. Dapper Robert Donat and plucky blonde Madeleine Carroll on the run from the good guys and the bad guys, moving from London to the Scottish highlands."

I haven't seen the previous parts of Ocean, but the cast for this one is brilliant. I loved these women and their different characters. They make a great team and I really enjoyed their robbery. The plot was not very original, but I liked the twists in the narrative.

This style should never die!

Love this album so much, the track Once In A Lifetime is a superb example of why the Talking Heads are such an original and unique sounding band. Their blend of post-punk and preppy pop is something that no one can equal- Brilliant!
