Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) 85% 8/10 EDIT “The magic, the verve, and the delightful gags all are back in Ferris Bueller, Hughes' best movie since Sixteen Candles.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Fight Club (1999) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Never one to shy away from blood-and-guts, Fincher pulls out all the stylistic stops as Fight Club goes for a climactic knockout.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 21, 2026 Full Review RoboCop (1987) 84% EDIT “A fast-paced, action-packed movie version of a comic book for adults.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Jerry Maguire (1996) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Jerry Maguire is the cinematic equivalent of an all-you-can-eat buffet: No Matter what your tastes, you're likely to find something you enjoy. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Waiting for Guffman (1996) 91% EDIT “The townspeople are so genuinely enthused about staging "Red, White and Blaine" that we can't help but hope the show will be every bit the smash they envision. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 11, 2026 Full Review RoboCop 2 (1990) 31% 3/10 EDIT “Director Irvin Kershner and writers Frank Miller and Walon Green have done a decent job of copying the form of the first film, but they've missed the zing, the sharp edge of futuristic cynicism.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Chocolat (2000) 63% 3/4 EDIT “Chocolat is a dessert movie: sweet and enjoyable but, by design, not very filling. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Pretty in Pink (1986) 75% 6/10 EDIT “Another of [Hughes]' glimpses into contemporary teenage life that is certain to find a young audience eagerly waiting its arrival. They will not be disappointed. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 80% 4/5 EDIT “With son Brian Henson at the helm, this pirate farce is a throwback to the clever comedy that once was the Muppets' mainstay: Rapid-fire jokes aimed at adults as well as youngsters.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Hitcher (1986) 63% 3/10 EDIT “The leap of logic necessary to get involved in the excitement is accepting that Howell is a world-class idiot who keeps putting himself in jeopardy, at times intentionally. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 30, 2026 Full Review House (1985) 49% 5/10 EDIT “"House" is surprisingly entertaining.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 30, 2026 Full Review North (1994) 12% 3/10 EDIT “"North" needs a compass.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% 7/10 EDIT “While it's entertaining, the conversion does not come without cost: a gross simplification that may rankle some King aficionados. Virtually all of the novel's substance has been chucked.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The American President (1995) 90% 4/4 EDIT “It's chock-full of upbeat, good-spirited fun. Director-producer Rob Reiner, bouncing back with vigor from last year's disastrous North, has put together the quintessential date movie. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 22, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% 8/10 EDIT “Reiner, whose last film was "Misery," knows how to tell a story, and he spins a good tale here. Hopes are raised and then dashed. Moods swing from one extreme to the other. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Princess Bride (1987) 93% 10/10 EDIT “The film's strength begins with a deftly crafted script that does what many had believed was impossible: converting a book to film without losing anything in translation. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% 9/10 EDIT “Spielberg, once king of the hill when it came to fantasy-adventures, is making a strong bid to reclaim the crown. He'll get no argument here. When he turns his attentions to this genre, he's in a league all his own.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 30% 3/10 EDIT “It's fine stuff if you like the circus, but it's not at all what we've come to expect from the eccentrically creative Pee-Wee.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 13, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 9/10 EDIT “The movie is a romantic sitcom sandwiched between two slices of splashy, over-the-top adventure. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 90% 7/10 EDIT “...at a time when big-budget sequels have tended to disappoint ("'Predator 2" and "Back to the Future III'), "Terminator 2" delivers more than two hours of nonstop, thrilling action.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (1987) 59% 8/10 EDIT “An action-packed, rocket-paced, caustically sarcastic and highly entertaining mix of mayhem and mirth.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 89% EDIT “If you think exploding eyeballs, gushing guts and severed limbs are funny, the film's a laugh riot.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Desert Hearts (1985) 77% 4/10 EDIT “As a result, we feel as if we are only observing, never becoming involved with either the characters or their situations. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 12, 2025 Full Review My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% 6/10 EDIT “Lewis turns in a powerful performance as someone trapped between love and hate. Warnecke, who's making his acting debut, imparts a plausibly naive enthusiasm to Omar. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% EDIT “A gay "That's Entertainment!"... [is] a little too flippant to convey the seriousness with which the filmmakers approach their subject. ” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Oct 8, 2025 Full Review
