Best Movie Year1987's The Fourth ProtocolReleased into UK cinemas March 20, 1987, The Fourth Protocol is a British cold war thriller starring Michael Caine. He's an MI5 agent who is battling the MI5 bureaucracy as much as he is the KGB who are working on assembling a nuclear weapon on home soil. It's Michael Caine vs a pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan, who is cast here as a KGB agent posing as a visiting American. It's great stuff with an over-supply of stiff British upper-lips. Dan Barrett and Simon Foster take a look at the movie, which neither of them had seen until now. It is...

Best Movie Year1987's Tin MenReleased March 6, 1987, it would be understandable if you didn't really know the movie Tin Men. Despite being widely available, it's not really a film that gets talked about a lot these days. It's a Barry Levinson film set in the 50s about ill-mannered, slimy sales guys. After a car accident brings two of them together, their lives will never be the same. Danny DeVito, Richard Dreyfus, and Barbara Hershey star.
