Corey Haim – Lost Boy
It was the summer of 1987, and I was truanting school with a friend and two girls, one of whom I was smitten with. We made our way to the local cinema and saw The Lost Boys. By the time it was over, I had forgotten the girl and was totally enamoured with the film. I probably didn’t shut up about it all the way home. It was the first of many viewings, and the catalyst for many nights of teenage fantasy, discussing how cool it would be to be a vampire, or one of the Frog Brothers, or Corey Haim….
Hannah & Her Sisters (1986)
Annie Hall is nearly always cited as fidgety New Yorker Woody Allen’s best work. And while I’ll agree that it is a great movie, his best film will, for me, always be Hannah & Her Sisters. There are many reasons for this, and perhaps not the most insignificant being the amount of screen time that Allen has in this film (let’s face it, the guy can get annoying)…

The Road (2009)
Utilising drab filters, crafty visual effects and impressive restraint, Hillcoat’s film is as emotionally devestating as it is visually stunning, thanks in large part to the wonderful cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe (New Moon). There are no tidal waves demolishing Manhattan, no comets tearing off the spires of tall buildings and no scenes of mass panic and death. Instead, we have allusions to the apocalypse – even the flashback sequences before the collapse of civilisation are presented intimately and without destructive detail…
