The Bridges of Madison County | ÜberCiné | Gregory Weinkauf | This didn't pain me anywhere near as much as I thought it would.

The Wicker Man | ÜberCiné | Gregory Weinkauf | Hypnotic, thrilling and a true touchstone for brilliant cinematic storytelling. Mr. Lee delivers a towering and immortal performance for the ages. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,600 |
Three Colors: Blue (Trois Couleurs: Bleu) | ÜberCiné | Gregory Weinkauf | I was moved and touched by all three, and continue to ponder which is my favourite (but lately I'm thinking 'Blue.') | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,600 |
