Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

“Criticizing it is like complaining that your latest pack of bubble gum tastes like all the others. I must admit, though, that I was mildly disappointed.” –

Funny Lady (1975)

“Caan isn't physically right for the part. Even more clearly, it doesn't make any difference. He brings a wonderful Sammy Glicklike chutzpah to the role.” –

“"Prisoner" may be inferior Simon, but that still puts it way above almost anything else being written.” –

Birdy (1984)
84%
“The simplest solution is to say go see it because it's an extraordinary movie and it features two extraordinary but totally different performances in the leading roles.” –

Yentl (1983)
69%
“The film that might have been "Barbra's Folly" is instead close to being her triumph. A pioneer much like Yentl, she's had to overcome equally restrictive customs in order to be the first woman to take total control over a major film. ” –

Creepshow (1982)

“I needn't have worried. Creepshow isn't very scary at all. Unfortunately, it also isn't much fun.” –

Terms of Endearment (1983)
81%
“MacLaine captures Aurora's intensity in her best performance since The Turning Point, but the film may be best remembered for giving Winger the meatiest role of her short but wonderful career. ” –

Gandhi (1982)
89%
“[Richard Attenborough's] three-hour portrait of Gandhi is only intermittently successful. It works best when it shows us the human side of Gandhi... Too often, though, the events themselves dictate the progress of the film.” –

Amadeus (1984)
90%
“Amadeus, Peter Shaffer's award-winning play, stood [Mozart's] image on its ear, infuriating Mozart-lovers on two continents, and Miloš Forman's splendid film adaptation... should spread the word even more widely.” –

The Last Starfighter (1984)
76%
“The special effects are effective, if nothing special, and Guest is a very credible reluctant hero. But The Last Starfighter lacks that sense of tension, of palpable danger, that all tales of adventure need if they're going to grip our attention.” –

The Secret of NIMH (1982)
93%
“[The animation], however, would be mere decoration, the frosting without the cake, if it didn't serve to enhance a strong, engrossing story line and vivid characters. And NIMH has an ample supply of both.” –

The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
77%
“"The Pope of Greenwich Village" is an unusual film to be coming out in June. No special effects or food fights, just a solid script and some wonderful acting.” –

Teachers (1984)
61%
“If the script calls for an ex-idealist who's grown battered butting his head against the system, the producer says, "Get me Nolte!"” –

Heroes (1977)
27%
“It tries to say some serious things about what the war did to us as a nation. But it's essentially a mishmash of unfulfilled ideas.” –

Sugar Cane Alley (1983)
100%
“Like many (perhaps most?) great works of art, it's depressing and exalting, showing us the backbreaking life of the native cane harvesters in the 1930s and the attempt of one radiantly sunny boy named Jose to escape that life through education.” –
