#26. Spoorloos (1988)

This is a good, a worth seeing, movie. Good actors, a couple of nice nature shots with a little bit unusual structure and story. A plus for the great ending.

#25. Topio stin omichli (1988)

IMDb-link

This was a well made movie, great camera work, great music and very symbolic. There's not much dialog so it can feel like a really long movie, but it is definitely worth seeing.

Good realistic movie about morals and gender perspectives.

#21. Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988)

IMDb-link

This one is worth watching for its directing style. It's mostly the look of it that's interesting and not the story. Plus, it was fun seeing a young Antonio Banderas acting in this.

#20. Ariel (1988)

IMDb-link

No, it's got nothing to do with The Little Mermaid. Anyway, this is a funny dark-comedy flick from Finland with no special story-arc... and I love movies like this. Although it was a little bit stiff for my taste, but I'm looking forward watching more from Aki Kaurismäki. I've heard he's great.

Good cast but not a memorable movie. Nothing new or special. Nothing I crave to re-watch.

#18. The Thin Blue Line (1988)

IMDb-link

Today's film is a non-ficional documentary, and a good one too. I'm impressed with the photography, music and editing in this flick, it feels like it was a little bit before its time. But, and there's a big but here... it's not engaging at all and even though Errol Morris knows his stuff, it really isn't that memorable.

#17. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

IMDb-link

Just watched this classic Zucker/Abrahams comedy. I've seen it one too many times now but it's still good and entertaining. It's not as good as Airplane! or Hot Shots! 2 though.

#16. Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

IMDb-link

I'm not a huge fan of costume drama movies but at least I wasn't bored to death with this one. It was solid... kind of. Although it was a little bit annoying when some actors didn't have or lost the british accent.

#15. A Fish Called Wanda (1988)

IMDb-link

Hilarious comedy flick from the 80s! And I must say, Kevin Kline steals the show.

#14. Big (1988)

IMDb-link

I've seen this flick before but I didn't remember much until just now as I rewatched it. Anyways, it has some classic scenes worth seeing. It's entertaining and it's one of the better body-swap movies out there.

#13. Hotaru no haka (1988)

IMDb-link

This one must be one of the most overrated movies, both in and out of its genre. Tried to be something it never was, it was very sentimental but it didn't quite work all the way.

#12. Neco z Alenky (1988)

IMDb-link

This is a different take on the Alice in Wonderland story. I liked the surrealism, although it was too long and the narrating from Alice with the close-up ruined the pacing. It could've been better with a different cut, but I still look forward watching more of Svankmajer's films.

Rating: 2/5

#11. Drowning by Numbers (1988)

Drowning by Numbers (1988)

Again, Peter Greenaway knows how to capture the atmosphere for a film. This one was also great, although not as sharp and engaging as The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover.
