A thriller that's nearly devoid of thrills? That's not a complaint--it's what makes The American Friend one of the most stylish (and at the time most expensive) films to emerge from the new German cinema of the 1970s. Loosely adapting Patricia Highsmith's mystery novel Ripley's Game, director Wim Wenders shifted priority from plotting to character, emphasising a richly colourful and atmospheric approach to locations in Hamburg, where a picture-framer (Bruno Ganz) is lured into an assassination scheme involving a mysterious Frenchman (Gerard Blain) and the titular American friend, Tom Ripley (played by Dennis Hopper, a far cry from either Matt Damon's portrayal of the same character in The Talented Mr Ripley or John Malkovich's in the 2003 version of Ripley's Game). The plotting is vague to the point of irrelevance; Wenders prefers to maintain the aura of mystery rather than generating any conventional suspense and expresses his affection for American movies by casting favourite directors Nicholas Ray and Samuel Fuller in pivotal supporting roles. The result is an intoxicating example of cinematic cross-pollination. --Jeff Shannon
Andrew Bergmans tongue-in-cheek comedy The Freshman keeps the spoofing low key, underplaying the outrageous situations even as he piles them higher. Young Clark Kellog (Matthew Broderick) had no idea film school would drop him into the hands of a real-life Godfather, but after a street punk robs him during his first day in New York City, thats just where the road leads. Marlon Brando lets everyone know hes in on the joke with his hammy, good-humoured performance as the bulldog-jowled Mafioso Carmine Sabatini, the man Clarks prissy, self-important professor swears was the real-life inspiration for Don Corleone. Carmine has a modest proposal for the naive kid from Vermont involving Carmines gorgeous daughter Tina (Penelope Ann Miller) and the illegal importing of an endangered lizard. And if the sight of a six-foot-long lizard scattering shoppers as it runs wild through a New York City mall doesnt do it for you, theres always Bert Parks rousing rendition of Bob Dylans "Maggies Farm".--Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Spectacular scenery provided the backdrop for the opening round of the 1988 World Rally Championship the Monte-Carlo Rally. However the historic special stages were without their traditional snow setting up a finely balanced and ultra-fast battle over more than 630 competitive kilometres of dry asphalt. The event would prove to be a real car-breaker eliminating almost half the field during 26 stages. The scene was set for a showdown between the Martini Lancia team that had dominated 1987 and the rejuvenated Mazda team wanting to forget a disappointing season. While the works Lancia Delta HF 4WDs of Bruno Saby and Miki Biasion led the way the Mazda 323s of Timo Salonen Hannu Mikkola and Ingvar Carlsson were in trouble - diesel-contaminated fuel ruining their effort. When Biasion retired the Lancias of Group N Champion Alessandro Fiorio and Yves Loubet joined the battle for victory. Loubet's luck ran out with the end in sight his Lancia crashing into retirement. Behind Saby and the Jolly Club-backed Delta of Fiorio Jean-Pierre Ballet's Peugeot 205 GTi took unexpected third. Incredibly former World Champion Salonen recovered from 42nd to take fifth just behind the battle-scarred Renault 11 Turbo of Alain Oreille. Enjoy incredible action interviews with the stars and some spectacular 'moments' in these excellent highlights. Monte-Carlo Rally 1988 is part of a collectable set of classic Monte-Carlo rally highlights programmes.
