#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)

IMDb-link


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

#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.

Rating: 4/5

#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.

Rating: 2/5

#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.

Rating: 3/5

#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.

Rating: +3/5

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