Funny Lady (1975) 51% “What I find most impressive and likable about the performance is the softened, bittersweet maturity that Streisand lets us see in Franny Brice.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “Monty Python and the Holy Grail is, like Mad comics, not certain to please every taste. But its youthful exuberance and its rousing zaniness are hard not to like. As a matter of fact, the sense of fun is dangerously contagious.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 1, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% “The songs are delicious as the day Porter wrote them, the intentions are honorable, the production design is impeccable... and the damn thing just doesn't work.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% “"Escape to Witch Mountain" is a solid piece of family entertainment, pegged to a slightly but significantly higher level of sophistication in its young audience.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% “"Tommy" is an overwhelming, thunderous, almost continuously astonishing achievement, coherent and consistent from first frames to last.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 56% “Katselas... has done by all odds his best work, catching both the garish midtown atmosphere and the furious action with inspired help from cinematographer Mario Tosi.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 47% “"Prisoner" is most impressive when it is least funny; the laughter comes out of a painful craziness.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “The essential problem is that story and script play like patchwork convenience with little life and narrative thrust, existing mostly as an excuse to put the planes in the air.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “The invention is amazingly varied, which is also to say uneven, though not troublingly so. Nashville is undoubtedly the best and most assured film Altman has yet made.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “The motion picture equivalent of one of those very large, very heavy, very expensive, very elegant and very dull books that exist solely to be seen on coffee tables.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% “Vadim had chosen to be risqué, not risky, preposterous not profound, and he has succeeded. ” – Los Angeles Times Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% “It is an unsparing picture, but not unsympathetic.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 10, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 94% “The Conversation can have cost no more than a slight fraction of The Godfather, but it is a powerful and important picture, ominously fascinating in the wiretap age.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “Some ultimate and flawless perfection may have been missed. But as a noble use of the medium and as a timeless expression of a national anguish, it towers over anything that has been attempted by an American film maker in a very long time.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Napoleon (1927) 87% “It is, and no mistake, one of surely not more than six filmgoing experiences of a whole lifetime, not to be missed for the sheer joy of it. Napoleon is a film against which all the others have to be measured, now and forever.” – Los Angeles Times May 14, 2024 Full Review Let It Be (1970) 81% “It makes for the warmest and most engaging hour and a half of film I've seen in weeks, maybe longer. It is also an immensely interesting glimpse at these four pleasant and talented young men who constitute so large a hunk of social history.” – Los Angeles Times May 9, 2024 Full Review The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) 87% “The ingredients of Bingo Long are neither new nor secret. Like Mahogany, the movie remembers everything Hollywood knew how to do and did with such confident skill in the days of its glory.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% “From start to end it is engrossing and unpredictable, and although hindsight raises a few questions, "Dog Day" works as it plays.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 71% “The exciting surprise of Lady Sings the Blues is not that Miss Ross sings well: it is that she acts with terrific charm and very impressive intensity. ” – Los Angeles Times Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “In its total recapturing of a past, in its plot, its vivid characterizations, its carefully calculated and accelerating pace, its whole demonstration of a medium mastered, Chinatown reminds you again that motion pictures are larger, not smaller than life.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Grease as a movie is a star vehicle for John Travolta, yet it does not really even work very well as a showcase for his acting, singing or dancing. ” – Los Angeles Times Feb 8, 2024 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% “[Ridley Scott's] strength is visual and his genius is economy. The Duellists is said to have cost well under $2 million, but it has every millimeter the same feeling of period that Barry Lyndon had with more pace and vitality.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “You are in for jolts, shocks and some fairly gruesome and shuddering sights. With only his second feature, Ridley Scott has emerged as a major film maker. What he has to say is still not clear, but he certainly knows how to say it effectively. ” – Los Angeles Times Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Little Big Man (1970) 91% “In the end, by seeing the Indians as men and women and children rather than as a Culture or a Historical Force, Penn's Little Big Man states the tragedy of the confrontation more eloquently and powerfully than any other recent films.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% “The Last Picture Show is an exceptional and original work, not so much a movie-movie as a film buff's film, an exercise in regret and a reminder of various losses.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 26, 2023 Full Review
