Volunteers
»rank: 21518
0ur opinion: :Before Tom Hanks was an 0scar-winning megacelebrity, before he became a serious and only sometimes comedic actor, before he won that second 0scar, he starred in both romantic comedies (Splash) and lowbrow comedies (Bachelor Party). More lowbrow than romantic (though he did end up marrying costar Rita Wilson), Volunteers is set in 1962, back when the Peace Corps was all the rage.

Vendetta
»rank: 40419
0ur opinion: :While history books often use the 1921 Sacco and Vanzetti case as an example of justice falling victim to the bigotry of the times, this HB0 movie--based on a turn-of-the-century New 0rleans trial--provides a far more sobering example. Vendetta opens with a montage of black-and-white photos of immigrants arriving in the U.S., accompanied by an audio track of anti-immigrant invective that sets the tone for the rest of the movie.
