Michael Mann — Collateral | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Great film "Collateral", on par with "Insider" and almost at the level of Mann's two masterpieces: Manhunter and Heat. Excellent Foxx, convincing Cruise (probably his best performance), Mann as usual stunning, beautifully depicting the night of Los Angeles. Tension, adrenaline, class, and excellent technique. Truly a magnificent thriller. more

Michael Mann — L'Ultimo Dei Mohicani | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Mann ventures into the epic/historical genre and does so with his usual skill, managing to create a beautiful film. A separate discussion is warranted for the stunning soundtrack, which is a true masterpiece. Then there's a phenomenal Lewis (but that's not news), a wonderful, tight, engaging, and epic final part (20-15 minutes), and finally the breathtaking sets and the excellent direction from the always outstanding Mann. It's a shame that the screenplay ends up focusing too much on a certain love story. more

Roman Polanski — Repulsion | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Perhaps the pinnacle of early Polanski (the one before Rosemary's Baby), a sickly, surreal thriller (the scene with the hands emerging from the walls is stunning), exhausting. Deneuve, besides being beautiful, is exceptional in portraying Carol's relentless descent into the abyss of madness. Excellent ending. Perhaps not a masterpiece (like "The Tenant") but still a beautiful film. more

The excellent debut of Martin Scorsese (1969), who in the '70s, thanks to masterpieces such as "Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver," would establish himself as one of the greatest representatives of "New Hollywood" and one of the greatest directors of all time. The protagonist is his friend Harvey Keitel (also a newcomer), who later boasts a brilliant career (an exceptional actor). It's not yet fully in focus, but Scorsese's class and skill are already evident; there's Little Italy, and there's a great story. more

Tom Waits — Bad As Me | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Great even here. It sounds like a thirty-year-old screaming loudly, yet this guy is 62 and has almost forty years of career behind him by now. Evergreen and unyielding Uncle Tom. When I heard "Bad as Me," it was clear that the devil had truly returned; when I then listened to "Hell Broke Luce," I had confirmation, old crazy madman. But there are also wonderful ballads, with "Last Leaf" standing out. A kind of excellent synthesis of his long career. Immense. more

Martin Scorsese — New York, New York | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

One of Scorsese's most underrated works. A great De Niro, an excellent Liza Minelli, the New York Jazz of this film is one of the many faces of the city that Scorsese has wonderfully depicted throughout his career. A beautiful film, it has the one flaw of being literally overshadowed by the two absolute peaks of Scorsese, "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull," which are a good notch higher. more

Roman Polanski — Il Pianista | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Roman Polanskiā€™s masterpiece, directed at the age of 68. A wonderful biographical masterpiece about the life of pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman and at the same time a very autobiographical film. Brutal and ruthless from beginning to end but, especially in the final part, incredibly moving. The German officer who helps Szpilman is magnificent, and of whom the Polish pianist will not manage to learn the name at least until after the death of the officer himself, in a Soviet gulag... more

Maybe heā€™s done better ones, but this is a classic Country/Folk track as well as the stunning debut, released in 1957, of one of the greatest American songwriters of all time. "Folsom Prison Blues" masterpiece. more

Inferior to the debut, it still contains at least 2-3 tracks that are worth the price of the record (Iā€™m especially thinking of "Home of the Blues" and "Big River"). more

Johnny Cash — The Fabulous Johnny Cash | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

"Fool's Hall of Fame" (one of my favorites from early Cash), "Walkin' the Blues," "Suppertime," "Don't Take Your Guns To Town" are absolute masterpieces of country music and elevate this album greatly despite a few inevitable, forgettable fillers. more

Completely nonsensical but extremely funny, practically a scenario where Gilliam could unleash his visionary creativity. Depp and Del Toro are wildly eccentric; after all, the same Thompson/Raoul Duke was not exactly sane. Grotesque and hilarious characters and situations, along with an outstanding soundtrack (just to name a few: "Combination of the Two" by Big Brother at the beginning and end of the film, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" - the latter used wonderfully - by Jefferson Airplane, and "Stuck Inside" by Dylan). Awesome. more
