Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “A cunning and prodigal synthesis of every kind of popular myth... Aimed with deadly calculation at the child in all of us, Return of the Jedi estimates our mental age -- no doubt quite accurately -- at around six and a half.” – Times (UK) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “Star Wars unashamedly restores all those qualities which film-makers and audiences have almost forgotten in their chase after illusory sophistication... a genuine escapism that obliges you to make no connexions at all with real worlds. ” – Times (UK) Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% “The thrills are modest and predicable enough.” – Times (UK) Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 28% “The film is more interesting in theory than in practice. The script rehearses all the old familiar incidents dutifully, but without any sort of revelation.” – Times (UK) Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “It is all hit-and-miss; but the hits are often rich fun.” – Times (UK) Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% “For all of its incidental felicities and a genuine freshness of vision, Rancho Deluxe never manages to cohere.” – Times (UK) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% “Bogdanovich's book has most of the silliness of the real thing... but none of the sparkle and verve.” – Times (UK) Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% “Like it or not, there is no question of Russell's prodigal inventiveness, his vitality, his exhilarating indiscretion, his ability to be anything except boring.” – Times (UK) Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “Some critics have written off The Great Waldo Pepper as another exercise in nostalgia; but it has a poetic texture altogether richer than that.” – Times (UK) Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “If Nashville in fact has not much to say, it says it at great length, and entertainingly. It all sails along, stopping and starting, maintaining its hold on us by Altman's appreciation of all the oddity of the American scene and its people.” – Times (UK) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “Plastically, certainly, the film is marvellous, but not quite enough to hold your patience for upwards of three hours, or to stop you wondering what Kubrick, having discarded most of... the sheer information of Thackeray, intended to put in its place.” – Times (UK) Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% “There's no doubt of the sincerity of Beatty and Ashby and Towne in wanting to use their anecdote to illustrate the moment of American moral history; but it is a big ambition, which defeats them.” – Times (UK) Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse Now (1979) 90% “Small wonder that Coppola could not decide how to end the film, even as late as the Cannes Festival in May. The ending on which he has settled is as good as any, and as irrelevant to the ambitions of this majestic, spoiled enterprise. ” – Times (UK) Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Under the Cherry Moon (1986) 38% “It is fast and featherweight, and the diminutive Prince is funny, cheekily charming and pretty as a picture. ” – Times (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Rosa Luxemburg (1986) 80% “The strength and success of the film is the central portrait: Barbara Sukowa convincingly develops the character.” – Times (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Aliens (1986) 94% “Another showpiece for the technical mastery of the model-makers and special-effects people of Pinewood. This kind of future fantasy grows ever closer to the past and to fairy-tales. ” – Times (UK) Jul 30, 2024 Full Review When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 89% “Rob Reiner's direction is feather-light, precisely paced and with fine appreciation of the sharp New Yorkisms of the dialogue.” – Times (UK) Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “Even if the special attractions of the subject can be identified, Jaws could hardly have been the hit it is if it weren't into the bargain an exemplary bit of filmcraft and story-telling. ” – Times (UK) Jul 2, 2024 Full Review The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) 87% “A freewheeling comedy that wears its sophistication lightly... The laughter has a sharp edge.” – Times (UK) Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% “Dog Day Afternoon has the considerable merit of being a film unlike the others, with a strangeness that could only derive from origins in real life.” – Times (UK) Apr 7, 2024 Full Review 1900 (1976) 52% “The film falls away into simplistic political history quite out of scale with the ambitions of the rest.” – Times (UK) Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% “The film would appear much like Jaws, a patchy work from a writer-director-storyteller of superior skills that were first revealed in his small-scale masterpiece, Duel. The best bits, though, are far better than anything in Jaws.” – Times (UK) Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Grease s less parody than pastiche and hardly even that, since the recreation of the fifties and the start of the rock era is so vaguely placed in time, with as much period sense as a 1920s scene in a 1940s touring revue.” – Times (UK) Feb 8, 2024 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% “The Duellists translates the narrative into meticulous images, and makes a serviceable adventure yarn out of it. What is basnet is the irony of Conrad's telling.” – Times (UK) Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 94% “The authentic, obscene dialogue and Thelma Schoonmaker's highly-regarded editing combine to provide a dynamic that compensates for the absence of conventional dramatic development. ” – Times (UK) Oct 18, 2023 Full Review
