The Julian Sands Page:
Reviews and Recommendations

As time goes by, I'm trying to see more and more of Julian's projects, particularly those that are hard to find or that I haven't seen in years. As I do, I'll post notes on each of them here, so you can have the benefit of my having seen them to let you know how much you're potentially going to enjoy them yourselves. This will hopefully be handy if you're searching out films to buy, especially if they're not available at your local video rental store. Just like most reviewers, I've got my own system of ratings: each little film strip has 5 spots, which can be filled with star(fishe)s - more is better! These are rated by how good the film is, not how much I personally liked each one, so even if you like different aspects of Julian's performances than I do, you'll still be able to tell which films are worth your time and money on their own. (If you've seen a film that you think I haven't, and wish to post a review to the site, please let me know.)

Julian's been in so many movies, you've got to draw the line somewhere on what you'll buy, unless you've got a bottomless pocketbook! I usually try to draw the line initially at ones where he's not so far down on the cast list that you fall asleep before he's mentioned while watching the credits. Do that, and you're down to a manageable amount. Here are my current personal favorites (in no particular order) and the reasons why:

Not every film can be a favorite, even if it is worth watching. These some of the other films that Julian has done that I wanted to give you my take on:
