Lonely Are the Brave

Directed by David Miller, 1962
PG; 107 minutes

“The performances are strong. [Walter] Matthau and Gena Rowlands are particularly memorable. But it is Douglas' film. He is a great screen actor, and exerts his presence and believability in the role of the man who wants to keep his soul free.” — George Perry, BBC.com

El Mariachi

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 1992
R; Spanish with English subtitles; 82 minutes

“[Robert] Rodriguez goes for broke with a breakneck pace, swarms of bullets, cinematic tricks, and a tone as playful as it is knowing of genre conventions. The director's light touch is all his own; and this unpretentious offering delivers in all departments.” —Geoff Andrew, Time Out

The Mask of Zorro

Directed by Martin Campbell, 1998
PG-13; 136 minutes

“There are no clever ground-breaking effects, just lashings of good clean fun with desperately devilish baddies, and good guys so fantastic, so clever and witty, that they make you want to weep with pleasure.” —Almar Haflidason, BBC.com

Desperado

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 1995
R; 104 minutes

“A bust-a-gut film experience that reveals Rodriguez as both a stylist versed in the mechanics of popular storytelling and a maverick whose ingenuity guides him along a singular path.” —Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
