1990-1999

The antithesis of a typical Spielberg movie, it's a harrowing, understated account of the Holocaust, through the true story of a German crook who saves his Jewish "workforce" from the Nazi death camps.

Martin Sheen falls seriously ill; Marlon Brando is a pain in the arse; the Philippine Army borrows back its helicopters mid-shoot; Francis Ford is almost driven insane. Just another day in the work of an alleged auteur.

A must see movie because it features kilts before kilts had been invented? Nah, there's all but three hours to wade through: Gibson trying to emulate Abel Gance, only Wallace was no Napoleon.

Marge Gunderson takes on evil in remarkable town v country snowarama.
