Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

“A blank send-up of the Arthurian legend, a slapstick saga so steadily unfunny that it seems much longer than its 90 minutes running time.” –

At Long Last Love (1975)

“Except for its Cole Porter score, it is so mannered, witless and just plain awful that is steadily embarrasses the movies that supposedly gave it inspiration.” –

“Under Melvin Frank's direction, it's all pretty close to being tedious, the tedium enhanced by Marvin Hamlisch's borrowed music.” –

Nashville (1975)

“As I sit here at my Globe typewriter, spiralling in my enjoyment of Nashville and acutely conscious of its burgeoning reputation among critics, as well as the ticket-buying public, I wonder if it's enough to say that it is an absolutely wonderful movie.” –

Barry Lyndon (1975)

“A highly impressive slide show, a spendthrift's photographic tour through the green fields and burnished castles of 18th-Century Ireland, England and Germany. It's simply too bad it's not a movie.” –

“Ashby's direction is sharp, fast, bulls-eye; Lazlo Kovacs' camerawork is superb; the performances are wonderful, particularly Beatty's dumb George.” –

Let It Be (1970)

“It offers no particular insight into any one in the quartet. It merely shows the Beatles at work, in the process of preparing their album "Let It Be," and, on that level, the film is rather slyly entertaining.” –

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

“By turns manically funny, slyly terrifying and strangely provocative, it somehow reaches beyond its format to make startling comment on the rampant panic of contemporary life.” –

Chinatown (1974)
98%
“Chinatown is a stunner, a superlative movie. And, while it's not specifically comparable, it has the exotic, resonating atmosphere of Casablanca. In other words, I think Towne-Polanski & Co. have made what may become a classic.” –

Taxi Driver (1976)

The Exorcist (1973)
78%
“The movie is a startling mix of religion, ESP, frenzy, fervent hope, occultism and a heavy-handed dose of diabolism. But don't mistake it... The Exorcist is slam-bang sensationalism. It is an exhaustive, as well as an exhausting shocker. ” –
