  1986 Black Maria Film + Video Festival Essay
As historians of early cinema have ably demonstrated, film from the beginning was exhibited as part of the general vaudeville and dance hall milieu that characterized the middle class entertainment offerings of the late 19th century.
Film quickly became "theater for the masses" and that it has remained ever since to the majority of those who deal with it.
Generally speaking, the art world, rather than seeking to include film as a genuine sister art to the more established forms, has instead accepted the conventional wisdom that the "movies" are for the "masses" and therefore outside the ken of curators and critics.

This is one of my favorite sports-themed films, but it wasn't necessarily because of the basketball, but rather the portrayal of a flawed man given another (last) chance and making the most of it by Hackman.

 Jean de Florette / Claude Berri / 1986 / film review
This film, and its sequel, Manon des sources, have received an unprecedented degree of attention and acclaim, and is probably the most well known French film made in the last 30 years.
Whilst the film has is strengths, particularly the stunning photography of the Provence countryside, it is let down marginally by a somewhat superficial view of country life and some occasional bouts of excessive sentiment-milking.
The film's greatest asset is the quality of the acting performances, with Depardieu on particularly good form and Daniel Auteuil winning celebrity for his poignant portrayal of the ill-fated Ugolin.

 Little Shop of Horrors (1986 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The film, directed by Frank Oz, is generally faithful to both the original and the stage version of the story, which is based on the classic Faust legend.
The 1986 version of Audrey II was an extremely elaborate creation, using puppets designed by Lyle Conway and The Jim Henson Company.
For the time being, no plans have been made to re-release the film or DVD with the alternate ending, although modern audiences may be better prepared for a darker version of what is essentially a morality play.

 Film History of the 1980s
The era was characterized by the introduction of 'high-concept' films - with cinematic plots that could be easily characterized by one or two sentences (25 words or less) - and therefore easily marketable and understandable.
Film budgets skyrocketed due to special effects (expensive digital effects) and inflated salaries of name-recognition stars (and their agents).
Because costly film decisions were more in the hands of people making the financial decisions, not the film makers, movies were made only if they could guarantee financial success, thereby pandering to a few select, well-known star names attached to film titles without as much attention paid to intelligent scripts.

 The Virginia Film Festival :: Press
The film becomes an introspective (and often hilariously self-deprecating) search for romance, and the Southern belles the hapless McElwee meets along the way become characters in his calamitous love life.
The film is also about filmmaking - home movie, documentary, and fiction filmmaking - as the filmmaker fences with the legacy of an obscure Hollywood melodrama that is purportedly based on his great-grandfather's life.
The Virginia Film Society is a program of the Virginia Film Festival, co-sponsored by the Virginia Foundation of the Humanities, the University of Virginia’s Arts Council, the University Programs Council and Brown College.

 Blue Velvet (1986)
A controversial film often criticized for its depiction of aberrant sexual behavior, the surrealistic, psychosexual film was a throwback to art films, 50s B-movies and teenage romances, film noir, and the mystery-suspense genre.
The plot line of the nightmarish film, a combination of Marquis De Sade sexual fetishism and a Hardy Boys mystery story, is fairly sketchy.
The film dissolves into an unnaturally brilliant, visually lush, boldly colorful opening with patriotic hues (bright red, white, and blue) and a nostalgic, dream-like view of a clean, conforming, pastoral America a la Norman Rockwell.

 Cherie Chung Chor-Hung
Her film career was ignited when Damian Lau introduced her to director Johnnie To, who was just setting foot outside of television and starting in the movie business.
The film that first put Chung on the map was Ann Hui's bleak Story of Woo Viet (1981), the first of many classic pairings with Chow Yun-Fat.
Other films in which Chung and Chow demonstrated their undeniable onscreen chemistry are An Autumn's Tale (1987) and Spiritual Love (1987).

 A Better Tomorrow (1986)
Every so often in film history, an accomplished director and a talented actor will become friends and team up for a variety of pictures, thrilling moviegoers in film after film.
The plot of this 1986 film centers on the lives of HK gangsters Ho (Ti Lung) and Mark (Chow Yun-Fat), two triads living the highlife due to their involvement in a counterfeiting scheme.
Devoid of much of the overdone "Woo-isms" that populate the director's later films (and have actually become groan-inducing clichés), A Better Tomorrow is a polished, resonant piece of HK filmmaking and an absolute genre essential.

The France-Brazil match, surely the most dramatic game in the history of the World Cup, is fully deserving of the cinematic treatment, especially as the game ends with the dreaded penalty shoot out.
The film is called HERO and that is because it focusses on the great individuals who scale the peaks of world football - Platini, Socrates, Rummenigge, Lineker, Francescoli, Sanchez, to name a few.
The only criticism I may have is that you don't get to see all the matches, but this would spoil the flow of the film.

 Caravaggio (1986) - Channel 4 Film review
This idiosyncratic portrait of the Renaissance painter from the late, great Jarman caused a furore in the art world, generating accustions of everything from irreverence to downright dishonesty regarding the artist's alleged homosexual and violent impulses.
The film belies its miniscule budget with ravishing pictorial compositions which draw their inspiration from Caravaggio's own works.
Jarman deliberately introduces anachronisms into the film - a car, typewriters, pocket calculators - making use of a similar revisionist theory to that which Caravaggio appplied to his paintings.
