Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
83%
“I hope this will be the war to end all Wars. For the truth I bring back from the Star Wars front is that the Force is spent. The message of this draggy epic is clear for producer George Lucas -- he must give peace a chance.” –

“Funny Lady is a triumph of energy over endearment and cupidity over both -- which is how a showbiz biography should be.” –

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
94%
“Its pleasures are the very special ones of movie memory and movie effects. It takes you back nostalgically to the days when they made "that kind of film," -- but keeps you relishing the fact that they never made it as well then as they can today.” –

Do the Right Thing (1989)
92%
“[Do the Right Thing] uses its abundant energy simply to knock down bridges that have been built and raise the wall of the ghetto mentality a row or two higher.” –

Nashville (1975)
89%
“Nashville isn't the U.S.A. Altman has done a populous and deservedly popular fresco, a group song in which the parts add up to an enjoyable comment on an industry and a lifestyle. But don't let him think he has created a national anthem.” –

Barry Lyndon (1975)
78%
“What he did for the future in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick in Barry Lyndon has done for the past. He has projected us into an age of amazing strangeness. ” –

The Breakfast Club (1985)

“A piece of terminal sentimentality that would be an insult to the teenpix audience if it ever realised how it's being manipulated.” –

Shampoo (1975)
75%
“A last-reel misjudgment doesn't seriously affect the main stream of a marvellously original, witty, hard-biting film, faultlessly acted by the natives of the very community it excoriates.” –

Mulan (1998)
92%
“Girls can go to war, too; and boys shouldn't keep them in their place. The message couldn't be more politically correct -- or, at it turns out, decently entertaining.” –

The Little Mermaid (1989)

“There is more art in The Little Mermaid than hangs on many art gallery's walls. There is certainly more fun in it than in any other film in town.” –

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
84%
“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre brings genuine horror back to the cinema. Be warned: its Gothic realism reminds us how rarely screen mayhem actually evokes real fear and revulsion in these times when "murder by numbers" is an everyday news item. ” –
