Quick Picks - Year 1985

It is easier than ever to find out your Quick Picks. Click any of the links on the right column to find out what is under that section.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey

1927 | Thornton Wilder

This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a thoughtful reflection upon the meaning of human life. A group of travellers plunges to their death as they walk across a rope bridge in 18th century Peru. A passing monk asks why God chose them to die at that time.

Lord of the World

1908 | Robert Hugh Benson

It gives me the goose pimples to see how accurately Benson describes the world at the end of the 20th century. One would think he had a crystal ball. Worth every line all the way to the end.

A tick on the bottom right corner indicates a superior work -- although this is obviously a matter of taste. To give another quality benchmark for films, we have surveyed some leading critics and recorded their views, on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (outstanding).
