Dead Man Johnny Depp has built such a varied resume in a relatively short time that it’s easy to overlook certain films that he did, even for hardcore fans of his, like this 1995 pseudo-Western directed by indy icon Jim Jarmusch and featuring a fantastic supporting cast. Depp plays William Blake, a mild-mannered accountant who […]
Dead Pool In many ways, Dirty Harry was really the original 80s movie cop (even in the 70s) as despite the fact that the movies themselves always tried to have a social undertone throughout, Harry himself was always spot on by having a nice series of one liners, the ability to outfight and outgun the […]

This 1974 groundbreaker […]
Deathtrap Christopher Reeve was known to have an unfortunate tendency in his non Superman movie acting roles to not only be continuously upstaged by one or more of his costars, but also to never quite shake off the stigma that audiences would forever identify him with being The Man Of Steel in the definitive sense, […]
