A Rage in Harlem: [ Forest Whitaker, Gregory Hines, Robin Givens ] Violent, amusing film shows naive Whitaker pursuing Mike Tyson's ex-wife amid 50's gangster setting. 1991.
Raging Bull: [ Robert de Niro, Cathy Moriarty, Joe Pesci ] Scorsese's wins by first-round knock-out. (Bet no reviewer ever used that analogy.) Not only is it great, but you get to see De Niro gain 60 pounds and witness Pesci's major film debut. 1980.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: [ Harrison Ford, Karen Allen ] Two words: Picture Perfect. 1981.
Rain Man: [ Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise ] This one wears a bit in repeat viewings, but the performances by Dustin and Tom are among their best. Cleaned house at the '88 Oscars. 1988.
Raising Arizona: [ Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, John Goodman ] One of those movies that no one remembers when they're making out their Best Picture lists, but I don't know anyone who doesn't rave about this Coen brothers gem. Some of the funniest, oddest scenes ever captured on film. Virtual unknowns Cage and Hunter raised their Hollywood stock with this 'un. 1987.
Reality Bites: [ Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo ] If you're under 30, you'll dig this grunger. But man, won't somebody wash some hair?! I've seen less dirty grease in a Burger King fryer. Ben Stiller directs, co-stars and steals the show. 1994.
The Rock: [ Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris ] Why in the name of Zeus's butthole haven't you seen this truly entertaining movie? Cage keeps gettin' better; Connery keeps reminding us why he's the best. 1996.
