Road to Ruin (1934)
17%
“The film belongs to the group of films that seeks to profit by a long and salacious story advanced as a "warning." A mawkish moral and a spurious note of reform does not save It from being a bad influence.” –

The Searchers (1956)
87%
“[The Searchers] is undoubtedly one of the greatest Westerns ever made. For sheer scope, guts and beauty I can think of no picture... to compare with it. In it John Wayne delivers a performance that tops his great performance in The High and the Mighty.” –

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
97%
“Mr. Smith Goes to Washington [is] a picture as hearty and jolly as Santa Claus, as rich in human juices as a turkey is in gravy. If there are any old chestnuts in the dressing they are made palatable by the Capra flavor. You'll relish the whole thing.” –

Stalag 17 (1953)
91%
“A truly remarkable job has been done in toning down Stalag 17 from the stage version while preserving the rowdy profane humor as well as the melodrama which made this play a solid Broadway hit.” –

Shanghai Express (1932)
96%
“If you want a lot of film for your money, stay through to the end. If you prefer quality to quantity, get up when they fade out the scene of Anna May Wong playing solitaire.” –

The Rogue Song (1930)
79%
“The Rogue Song cannot be put down as one of the best Laurel-Hardy efforts, but it cart be said these two funny men accomplish their purpose of balancing Mr. Tibbett's fine singing with lampoonish tricks that are sure-fire audience appeal.” –

Vertigo (1958)

“Alfred Hitchcock tops his own fabulous record for suspense with Vertigo, a super-tale of murder, madness and mysticism that stars James Stewart and Kim Novak.” –

From Here to Eternity (1953)
88%
“From Here to Eternity is more than just an absorbing story. It is essentially a montage of human emotions, intermingling the passions of love, hate, brutality and courage to such an extent that at times they are indistinguishable to the principals.” –

“It will be a poor showman who can't get an audience into the theatre when he can base his sales talks upon such expertly assembled and tangible box office ingredients.” –

Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929)

“Gold Diggers of Broadway has enough plot to keep it interesting. It has good, fast action, excellent comedy and musical numbers that are tuneful enough to justify all the technicolored spectacle used in presenting them.” –

Rebecca (1940)

“It is thrilling and important to recognize that Alfred Hitchcock, a movie director of vast public acclaim, in this instance was content to translate Miss Du Maurier's beautiful words into its equally beautiful screen synonyms.” –

Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 (1929)
86%
“This production has the usual backstage love story which manages to be amusing despite the fact it contains no impressive acting and no originality. An "Undersea Ballet" permits the use of technicolor to a spectacle sequence.” –
