Demme and LaGravenese are just as happy to let the directors bask in their past glories and reminisce about those crazy days.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2003

It's illuminating and nostalgic and for anyone who lined up for American movies in that bygone golden age.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 7, 2003

...less of a serious, insightful documentary and more of a nostalgic love letter.

The past is so bright here, co-directors Richard LaGravenese and the late Ted Demme must have worn shades.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2003

It's as if we're watching the equivalent of a VH1 special edited for an in-flight movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 5, 2003

Succeeds as both a primer for newcomers and as eye candy for established film fans.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 30, 2003

Unlike many documentaries about movies, it's neither underfunded nor perfunctory, but thoughtful and bracing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 30, 2003

Fitfully interesting in its own right, but more useful as a device to point you toward checking out the original source material.

Leaves us to wonder whether ever again will so many creative free spirits move into the mainstream in such numbers and with such success.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 29, 2003

What's missing is anything resembling a point of view ... or the slightest sense of critical discrimination.

A breezy but incomplete valentine to the most fertile period in American film

| May 25, 2003

It's gratifying and exhilarating enough -- the movie's a foolproof greatest-hits clips package. But Christie is its major coup.

When Coppola bellyaches you want to ask, Hey buddy, who forced the studios to give up on radical filmmakers by going insanely overbudget and past schedule with Apocalypse Now?

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 22, 2003

an entertaining introduction of the "auteur directors" that emerged from 1968 to 1978

Full Review | May 19, 2003

Here's a fireball documentary about the 1970s, when filmmakers were stoked by sex, drugs, rock and, oh, yeah, social conscience.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 8, 2003

It's an entertaining pastiche, a slice of movie history that's both fun and educational (if slightly myopic about what has come since).

| Original Score: B+ | May 5, 2003
