In Bed with Madonna [Madonna: Truth or Dare] *** (1991, Madonna) – Classic Movie Review 10,986

Madonna: ‘Dad, I’m not getting racy. I’ve been racy.’ Silvio Ciccone (Dad): ‘Well, can’t you tone it down a bit?’ Madonna: ‘For you? No, because that would be compromising my artistic integrity.’ Director Alex Keshishian’s […]

A League of Their Own *** (1992, Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Jon Lovitz, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell) – Classic Movie Review 3134

An excellent comedy drama idea about the founding of the All-American Girls’ Baseball League in 1943 when the men were away at war comes close to being chucked away in the popular high-profile 1992 movie […]

Four Rooms * (1995, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Beals, Paul Calderon, Salma Hayek, Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei) – Classic Movie Review 3056

Nights of Cabiria [Le Notti di Cabiria] ***** (1957, Giulietta Masina, Amedeo Nazzari, François Périer, Franca Marzi) – Classic Movie Review 627

Italian maestro director Federico Fellini’s 1957 classic won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 1958 Academy Awards. This admittedly sentimental drama about waifish Italian prostitute Maria ‘Cabiria’ Ceccarelli (Giulietta Masina), a wide-eyed streetwalker […]

Die Another Day *** (2002, Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike) – Classic Movie Review 408

Forty years on from Dr No, in 2002, James Bond finds that diamonds are forever as he investigates a Korean terrorist and a diamond broker. All the usual 007 elements are shaken and pretty well […]
