Misery (1990) 87% 7/10 EDIT “The movie works because of its wonderfully festering psychic material.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 6/10 EDIT “I have enormous admiration for Reiner's urge to try this movie at all. Unlike most Hollywood sword-and-sorcery films, Reiner's film insists on creating a fairy tale simply through its story and English setting, not through mechanical special effects.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 7, 2026 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 90% 6/10 EDIT “Attempts a fresh, honest look at relationships in the '80s.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% 5/10 EDIT “What you get is a film that's as flat as the prairie and as peculiar as a pack of Piccalapoopola.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 11, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% 8/10 EDIT “It's all eye-popping, bite-your-nails stuff.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 10, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% 9/10 EDIT “One of the initially frustrating but ultimately fascinating elements of Burnett's movie is its purposeful refusal to tie up every thread, answer every question or explain every image.” – Detroit Free Press Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Darkman (1990) 80% 8/10 EDIT “"Darkman" is a B-movie gone to heaven. Starting with a single B cell, Michigan director Sam Raimi, like some mad scientist, has synthesized funny, moving, comic book grand opera.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Pumpkinhead (1988) 51% 5/10 EDIT “A somewhat artistic approach to the teens-offed-in-the-woods theme, with a good central performance by Lance Henriksen and a pumpkin-patch demon combining the tastiest elements of skeletal corpse, humongous insect, and anorexic alien. ” – Detroit Free Press Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) 88% 8/10 EDIT “This movie moves. I, who seldom laugh at pratfalls or slapstick, laughed, laughed and laughed. ” – Detroit Free Press Jul 24, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 77% 8/10 EDIT “It delights in sight gags. It knows how to build jokes. It's full of slapstick that would have been wretched from almost any other director.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 84% 8/10 EDIT “Everyone has known a Withnail. And, what's more, everyone is a Withnail. ” – Detroit Free Press Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% EDIT “Though there are certain elements of the film that don't work,...I think Lee knows exactly what he's saying, that he has a right to say it and that he's set up his 60-40 point of view in fascinatingly complicated ways.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Steel Magnolias (1989) 73% 7/10 EDIT “Harling's and Ross' pop blend of comedy and tragedy captures the real kidding and bonding, needling and support of women's friendships because both men enjoy exaggerating.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Postcards From the Edge (1990) 83% 9/10 EDIT “My own postcards to Streep, MacLaine and Fisher would read: Good going, ladies. Your bleached-Techni-color weather is beautiful in a freaky California kinda way. Wish you'd be there on next January's Oscar nomination list.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 93% 10/10 EDIT “Like his finale to the tune of the Sid Vicious "I Did It May Way," Scorsese is trying a stylistic variation that's wired, joltingly different, but right.” – Detroit Free Press Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Batman (1989) 77% 8/10 EDIT “In one of the few summer movies that leave lasting images, you'll certainly remember the explosive Joker, who's like the graffiti the city spits onto its own walls. But even more, you'll remember the implosive Batman... In the end, it's his movie.” – Detroit Free Press Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 84% 7/10 EDIT “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is what you were probably expecting: It's better than Temple of Doom but not as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Thelma & Louise (1991) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Every frame has a marvelous touch... These big, glossy images may owe too much to Scott's advertising background, but they're as terrific and irresistible as Sarandon and Davis. ” – Detroit Free Press Mar 2, 2023 Full Review A Dry White Season (1989) 82% 8/10 EDIT “[A Dry White Season makes us feel every bend of Donald Sutherland's slowly changing point of view.” – Detroit Free Press Jan 3, 2023 Full Review Dances With Wolves (1990) 87% 9/10 EDIT “Beginning with [a] kind of comically earnest freshness, Dances with Wolves stretches into an engaging, noble, epic vision worthy of filling a screen so wide it seems to literally sweep from sea to shining sea. ” – Detroit Free Press Nov 7, 2022 Full Review Rain Man (1988) 88% 8/10 EDIT “[Dustin Hoffman] enters his character with the stagey-yet-dead-on empathy that creates an affectively deep, full performance.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 4, 2022 Full Review The Last Emperor (1987) 86% 9/10 EDIT “If this movie were the quotations of someone's Little Red Book, it wouldn't be the least bit important. As the continuing story of a great director's thoughts about the revolutionary possibilities of Marxism and Freudian-ism, it's very important.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 1, 2022 Full Review The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) 82% 10/10 EDIT “Yearningly, humanly, and superhumanly, it truly does make the 20th Century soul the arena of the ultimate struggle. ” – Detroit Free Press May 5, 2022 Full Review Three Men and a Baby (1987) 67% 8/10 EDIT “Cutting the incompetence and ick without skimping on genuine humor and feeling, Three Men and a Baby is an energetic, heads-up American translation that's the perfect holiday outing. ” – Detroit Free Press Apr 19, 2022 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Throughout the movie, Demme gets across more terror than a dozen Friday the 13ths by showing not the horrifying thing itself but the faces of people looking at horror.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 23, 2022 Full Review
