#36. Au revoir les enfants (1987)

IMDb-link


It starts slow but gets more interesting in the second act and ends great in the third. Interesting french point of view on the WWII, from the perspective of school children, priests, parents etc. Also, it's based on true events from the director himself.

Rating: 3/5
IMDb-rating: 6/10

#34. 'A' gai wak juk jap (1987)

IMDb-link


This is the sequel to 'A' gai wak. It's fun and it has as usual impressive stunts from Jackie Chan. Although, it has some flaws in bad writing and also in comedy when it gets too silly.

#33. Broadcast News (1987)

IMDb-link


This is really the little brother of Network. It's not even close to the level of its big brother but it is good in its own way. Great actors and written characters, although some scenes felt theatrical.

#32. Withnail & I (1987)

IMDb-link


First I have to say I'm sorry for not updating the blog for a long time now, I've been busy. I'll probably make a marathon or something to catch up this month.

Anyways, this was a darn funny british flick. There's a lot of memorable quotes in this one. Plus, the soundtrack is pretty neat aswell.

Another entertaining movie from the Coen brothers, but I've seen them do better than this.

Incredibly predictable and sometimes cheesy. But still charming and fun watch.

#28. Moonstruck (1987)

IMDb-link


Pretty cheesy movie and really not my cup of tea. But I think Cher still does a pretty good job. Overrated stuff.

#27. Hong gao liang (1987)

Boring, slow paced and all over the place. Although, good for a debut film but Yimou Zhang has done better.

#23. The Dead (1987)

The Dead (1987)


Stiff acting, boring characters and not engaging at all. There's nothing surprising or new in this flick. Although, I can see that it works as a short story... kind of.

#22. Sien nui yau wan (1987)

IMDb-link


This is a really weird mix of action, comedy, horror and fantasy with bad sound/visual effects. I can't stand corky comedy like this, although I must admit that the movie has some charm.
