Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “Harrison Ford is there too, by the way. He hasn't a lot to do but since he is a vastly improved actor, does it with quiet panache. The rest is noisy panache which I personally enjoyed but was hardly bowled over by.” – Guardian Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 51% “The basic trouble with it is that is takes a very long times to go nowhere very much, so that you don't feel you know Fanny Brice any better.” – Guardian Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% “The film is relatively weightless but it is subtly enough characterised and well enough played to be a comedy of modern manners that works well.” – Guardian Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Supervixens (1975) 49% “It's hardly a pretty sight but often very funny in a savage kind of way.” – Guardian Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 28% “Steve Carver, the director, seems to know exactly what he is doing -- which is making a commercial gangster movie -- and never does it less than competently.” – Guardian Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 83% “There is a certain kind of movie that gets praised not so much because of its virtues as because, in some strange way, we suspect that no one would ever dare make its like again. Withnail and I is one of those enterprises.” – Guardian Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 91% “One can at least see the beginnings of something that could grow into a more coherently incoherent whole. The basic order out of which the most laughable anarchy flows could eventually be achieved if the team sticks together.” – Guardian Apr 1, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% “The narrative is so slack as to become virtually non-existent.” – Guardian Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% “...Do the Right Thing is a welcome return to Spike Lee's best form after the disappointment of School Daze...” – Guardian Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 86% “It's slow going at times, since Mr Hough finds it necessary to rub home every point three or four times for the benefit of a young audience... but at least it doesn't insult their intelligence in any other way.” – Guardian Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% “There are some stunning, and stunningly energetic performances to admire which match step for step what Russell is trying for on the screen.” – Guardian Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 56% “The whole thing is pretty routine, but directed by Milton Katsela with some feel for the scene.” – Guardian Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975) 47% “Lemmon's descent into ill-concealed paranoia is a superb piece of acting, the graduations of which are almost unobservable so good is his technique.” – Guardian Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “As simple entertainment, with as much emphasis on pawky comedy as drama, it suffices well enough. It's just that one expects more from this source and seldom gets it.” – Guardian Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% “The great achievement of Nashville is that Altman has worked with his cast to produce a many-layered film in which patterns overlap, repeat, merge. It's the sheer richness of the film that makes it remarkable.” – Guardian Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Yakuza (1974) 47% “It is very dull indeed, and even Mitchum can't save it.” – Guardian Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “It is Kubrick's view of things that ultimately counts, not the illustrative talents of others he brings to bear on it. And that seems to me virtually indecipherable. He is like a batsman trying to score a century without anybody noticing. ” – Guardian Feb 25, 2025 Full Review My Best Friend's Girl (1983) “The laughs in this comedy leave a sour taste in the mouth, and don't come too often either.” – Guardian Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Element of Crime (1984) 83% “Von Trier clearly has talent, imagination, originality and a capacity to surprise. I just wish he would learn not to force it down one's throat.” – Guardian Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Breakfast Club (1985) 87% “What Hughes then slowly but surely does is make us like them. That is the small miracle of a literate script, some cleverly emphasised character development and good, tight direction. Not only do you sympathise, but also begin to know them.” – Guardian Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% “It is essentially a shred piece of exploitation.” – Guardian Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Shampoo (1975) 75% “Judged simply as an exercise in the craft of film-making, it is an outstanding example of getting its basics right -- the feel of a place, a time and of a life-style that went with it is ominously apt. ” – Guardian Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Brass Target (1978) “As undemanding entertainment it is just smart enough to suffice and, filmed mostly in Bavaria and Switzerland, at least looks the part.” – Guardian Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Eraserhead (1977) 87% “What you have to say, like it or not, is that there's a real film-maker behind it, bold enough to use black and white with the confidence of someone who really believes in it, and to back the visuals with a sound-track that seeks to confound you.” – Guardian Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% “Just be assured that Disney Inc has, in general, done it again, reaching into our subconscious, plucking out a herd of clichés and dressing them up as dreams and fantasies that always turn out well, despite a few nightmarish episodes. ” – Guardian Dec 19, 2024 Full Review
