Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “When Orson Welles said a movie studio is the best toy a boy ever had, he could have been thinking of George Lucas. ” – Charlotte Observer Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “As a treatise on Vietnam, "Apocalypse" evolves like a Balanchine ballet -- pure in form, unencumbered by romanticism. It makes its forerunners, Coming Home and The Deer Hunter, look like child's play.” – Charlotte Observer Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “The music, good in the stage production, is as good in the film version. And it has a better backdrop with larger sets, more expansive action and dialogue that does more than just get the actors from song to song. ” – Charlotte Observer Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “It is space in raw, horrifying terms. It is primitive, stricken, painful. And it is terrifying in the way that Edgar Allen Poe's horror stories are terrifying -- the physical reaction transcends the words, or, in this case, the images.” – Charlotte Observer Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “The story is an old one... But the theme underlying Girlfriends is much more absorbing: the quality and the element of luck in friendship. ” – Charlotte Observer May 18, 2023 Full Review 9 to 5 (1980) 69% “The last hour is humorous, but it doesn't deliver on the promise of the first. ” – Charlotte Observer Mar 3, 2023 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% “De Niro, Walken and Savage are superb. Vilmos Zsigmond's photography brings the images of the steel town and Vietnam home to us, making words unnecessary at times. And Cimino wraps it up tightly, giving the film a sense of purpose always.” – Charlotte Observer Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% “Director Robert Benton, on only his third film, does a spectacular job of piling powerful scene upon powerful scene. The result is a succession of one-two punches that repeatedly knock the wind out of us.” – Charlotte Observer Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Ordinary People (1980) 89% “Behind the camera, Redford shows he hasn't been taking coffee breaks during his acting years. He's been studying, and his scholarship has produced one of the year's best pictures.” – Charlotte Observer Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Tess (1979) 81% “Tess is sinfully delicious melodrama, but there's a somber undercurrent of snobbery, pettiness and the rigid Victorian notion that peasants were property, not people.” – Charlotte Observer Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Hair (1979) 83% “Replacing the stage's pounding rhythm is a very slick, inventively staged movie. With the free-form choreography of Twyla Tharp and the disarming charm of Treat Williams as tribe leader Berger, the film has something to recommend.” – Charlotte Observer Nov 4, 2021 Full Review
