L’Argent de Poche [Small Change] **** (1976, Georges Desmouceaux, Philippe Goldmann, Nicole Félix) – Classic Movie Review 3018
Director François Truffaut’s 1976 hymn to the joys of youth is a series of charming anecdotes about a group of provincial French schoolboys, their teachers and parents in the town of Thiers in the summer of […]
One Eight Seven *** (1997, Samuel L Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Clifton Collins Jr, Tony Plana, Method Man) – Classic Movie Review 3001
Director Kevin Reynolds’s 1997 drama is a worrying end-of-term report on America’s schools and can be considered as the To Sir, with Love for the Nineties. That fine actor Samuel L Jackson rivets the attention […]
McFarland, USA ***½ (2015, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Carlos Pratts, Ramiro Rodriguez, Morgan Saylor, Elsie Fisher) – Movie Review
Kevin Costner’s film has legs: this will run and run. Corny and sentimental though undoubtedly is, McFarland is also a beautifully done, sheering heart-warmer. Inhabiting the space with leathery charm, style and grace, a relaxed […]

Writer-director James Clavell’s 1967 British school drama provides an excellent role for American star Sidney Poitier, though admittedly he turns up unexpectedly in a London inner-city school for hard knocks. There he teaches troublesome pupils Judy Geeson, Suzy […]
Jane Eyre *** (1996, William Hurt, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anna Paquin, Joan Plowright, Richard Warwick) – Classic Movie Review 2671
Director Franco Zeffirelli’s 1996 version of Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 classic novel is rather flat, un-dynamic and un-vibrant. Although the film is highly polished and has several redeeming features, including Charlotte Gainsbourg’s stellar performance as Jane […]
The Killers **** (1964, Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, John Cassavetes, Clu Gulager, Ronald Reagan, Claude Akins, Norman Fell) – Classic Movie Review 2394
Director Don Siegel’s complex and satisfying 1964 American neo noir crime film The Killers is the second Hollywood adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s 1927 short story, following the hit 1946 version The Killers. Siegel’s film was thought so tough, […]
