Top movies you may have missed

Here is a list of some of the top grossing and top reviewed (the two often don't go hand-in-hand) films of years gone by . . .

Watch As Perfection Falls From Grace . . .

See That Comic Book Films Can Be for Adults . . .
1989 Batman - One of the last films that people remember Michael Keaton acting in, this Batman is viewed by many as the definitive specimen of comic-gone-film.

Remember That Tom Cruise Can Act . . .
1988 Rain Man - Nominated for 8 Oscars, and winning 4, Rain Man is a favourite film for many.

Take Another Opportunity to See Paul Newman and Robert Redford Together. . .
1969 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - An old film that is essentially ageless, this movie is one that watches well during any decade. Based on a true story, this film is a smart 'Westerns' with enough class to make it a great date movie. RENT IT TODAY FOR FREE*

Experience It Shaken Not Stirred . . .
1962 Dr. No - Bond fans were shocked to see Daniel Craig's character forgo the classic drink in Casino Royale (2006). Go back to a time when James Bond was Sean Connery and 007's shaken martini was as dependable as pun-laden female characters - Ursula Andress plays Honey Ryder in this flick. RENT IT TODAY FOR FREE*
