Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

An impressive, dynamic, realistic presentation of a terrific story. Sailing the oceans back in the day was no picnic, and this film makes that abundantly clear. That veracity, plus the rousing historical backdrop and fine work from some excellent actors, combine to give the viewer one excellent movie. Not to be missed.

Dead Poets Society

A strong work with a lot to say about life. The first real look at Robin Williams as something other than a living cartoon character.
