APOLLO 13 (1995)

A very accurate, well-made docudrama about an actual space emergency, it all feels a bit airless to me (sorry).

FOOTLOOSE (1984)

Is it a hard hitting drama about small town life? Is it a musical? The answers lie in Kevin Bacon’s angry dancing.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES (1987)

A road comedy that feels somehow revolutionary in its plea for empathy, while also having some big laughs.
