Show 8B THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, January Pniifi nri wwm T?1 To JL JL Vft Its that time when critics around the world sit down to decide which films, from the hundreds screened during the previous year, should be singled out for special attention. Being no exception, I have flung caution to the winds and forged ahead to bring you my list of what I feel were the 10 best films which opened here in 1987. Attraction Fatal starring Michael Douglas, Anne Archer and Glen Close in a thriller with a message. Everyone turned in strong performances. Lou Bamba La starring Diamond Phillips as the late rock Richie and roll composer-singe- r Valenz who died in an airplane crash with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. Phillips first major starring role was long in coming but he proved more than able to fill the bill. A sensitive, musical h film. Hope And Glory, an account of the wartime London blitz as seen through the eyes of a child. In this case the child actually grew up to become who John Boorman proves what a master filmmaker " TU me XU lUllg ot the year, again, top-notc- 7, 1988 he is with this outstanding cinematic achievement. The Princess Bride is a surprise comedy which gave us cameo appearances by Billy Crystal and Carol Kane and Andre the Giant (the professional wrestler) in what could become a new career for him, comedy. Rob Reiners direction proved hes got plenty of pleasant directorial surprises to come. TIT vviiius as she literally runs off with this William film from her Brooks. Albert and Hurt Producerwriterdirector James L. Brooks made a contribution to the art of filmmaking. Robocop an interesting story about bringing a cop back to life and, with the help of modem out the technology, turning ultimate cop. Peter Weller starred as the cop and the special effects in this film were more than you usually get in fare. It was so good Part 2 is on the way. Broadcast News showing the s passions and power that go into putting together a news broadcast. Actress Holly Hunter (wasted in Raising Arizona ) proves that she Dirty Dancing was a dramatic, is capable of handling everything musical with a message that left from comedy, romance, extreme everyone with toes tapping and tension and every other emotion minds thinking. action-adventu- Desir Worst Are Piclveu. 1 Stakeout gave us Emilio Estavez and Richprd Dreyfuss in some brilliant scenes in this funny cop film with serious overtones. Three Men and a Baby was a knockout comedy with Tom re behind-the-scene- and Mary baby shamelessly stealing scenes left and right from Ted Danson and Selleck Howie Mandel. Wall Street a film which should be up for plenty of accolades gave us Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen in Oliver Stones first film since his award winning Platoon. Wall Street was riviting from start to finish and the subject matter as real as life itself. That takes care of the top 10 films for 1987. However, there are some which do deserve special merit mention: Nuts, Emporer of the Sun, The Runningman, Someone to Watch Cinderella, Over Me, Suspect and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Each of the above films distinguished themselves and deserve to be seen. Now, without any further ado and certainly without unnecessary commentary here are my selections for the worst films foisted off on the public during the past 12 months. These of deserve only certificates Whos That Girl, Maid to Order, Teen Wolf, Too and Man On Fire. All in all it wasnt a bad year, in general, for going to the movies as the studios doled out a lot of quality films on a consistant basis throughout the year rather than holding it all back for holidays as has been the case in previous years. Obviously the quality and care put into a majority of pictures is what the public wants as the box office numbers for 1987 show. Give em what they want and they'll turn out ever time. As long as we have filmmakers, not accountants, such as Steven Speilberg, Michael Eisner, Oliver Stone, Rob Reiner, Danny DeVito, and others who are capable of recognizing new talented writers, director sand actors we will be in great shape for 1988. Until next week when our dateline will be Las Vegas from the CES gathering, remember to keep your feet off the seats and the popcorn hot! demerit: Ishtar.
