|
Dead Calm (1989)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Phillip Noyce hit hard with both "Rabbit Proof Fence" and "The Quiet American". "Dead Calm" is an effective thriller with Sam Neill and a very young Nicole Kidman. |

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Spike Lee's recent films have been inconsistent or just plain ignored. "25th Hour" seems to have changed that. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Winning awards again is Meryl Streep (The Hours and Adaptation), but this could be her breeziest role. |
