Recommended Adapted from Sidney “I Dream of Jeannie” Sheldon's first novel, published in 1970, The Naked Face (1984) is a fairly good little thriller, not great, but better than one would have expected from Cannon Films, a company known primarily for its Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris action-exploitation films.

Recommended The Movie: Made two years after the seminal Re-Animator and once again produced by Charles Band and Empire Pictures, Stuart Gordon's Dolls is part horror movie, part black comedy and part fairy tale and while it does tend to lean towards the clich s often associated with horror films, that doesn't diminish the film's entertainment value.
Highly Recommended The success of the James Bond movies, Thunderball (1965) particularly, launched a worldwide spy movie craze that lasted about five years and resulted in probably close to 200 knock-offs. Although several very good spy movies were made around this time, notably The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) and The Quiller Memorandum (1966), the vast majority, including the two Derek …
