Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
5/5 98% The Night of the Hunter (1955) " This thriller is one of the great masterpieces of American cinema, a movie so strangely repellent, so poetic and so utterly hypnotic that it sadly never found an audience." — Radio Times
Posted Oct 6, 2013
2/5 73% Conrack (1974) " Martin Ritt's movie is often sentimental and hectoring, ramming home the contrast between Voight's comfy, secure rebellion against the Vietnam War and the utter destitution and backwardness of his pupils." — Radio Times
Posted Aug 27, 2013
4/5 91% Face/Off (1997) " Woo more than delivers in the overblown action stakes. It's also patently evident that both stars are having a ball sending up each other's mannerisms." — Radio Times
Posted Aug 2, 2013
4/5 95% Midnight Run (1988) " As with all the best road movies -- and this is one of the best -- the picture really moves, as a simple air trip from New York to LA turns into a saga of trains and automobiles, car crashes, and skirmishes with the FBI and [other] interested parties." — Radio Times
Posted Jul 30, 2013
4/5 95% Apollo 13 (1995) " Partially filmed in genuine weightless conditions, Ron Howard's movie is a technical tour de force." — Radio Times
Posted Jul 30, 2013
3/5 46% Cleopatra (1963) " The film at least manages to make some sense of an extraordinary moment in history, as Rome expanded from republic to empire." — Radio Times
Posted Jul 12, 2013
5/5 80% The Untouchables (1987) " For many the main attraction of this modern classic is Sean Connery's Oscar-winning turn as the veteran Irish cop who shows Costner the ropes." — Radio Times
Posted Jun 25, 2013
5/5 94% Full Metal Jacket (1987) " While its message is simple -- innocent young Americans are taught to be machine-like killers -- its technique is extraordinary." — Radio Times
Posted Jun 21, 2013
2/5 5% Cocktail (1988) " Perhaps the best one can say for this bland concoction mixed by agents and the studio executives is that every bartender in Hollywood wants to be Tom Cruise and that suffices as an ironic subtext." — Radio Times
Posted May 21, 2013
4/5 71% Forrest Gump (1994) " One can sneer at it, but one can't ignore it." — Radio Times
Posted Feb 20, 2013
5/5 92% The Shining (1980) " The technique is as overpowering as Nicholson's performance, which is both hammy and deeply disturbing." — Radio Times
Posted Nov 7, 2012
4/5 88% Titanic (2012) " Titanic is a sumptuous assault on the emotions, with a final hour that fully captures the horror and the freezing, paralysing fear of the moment." — Radio Times
Posted Apr 5, 2012
5/5 99% Apocalypse Now (1979) " Coppola delivered a harrowing masterwork that bursts with malarial, mystical images..." — Radio Times
Posted May 26, 2011
4/5 88% Deep End (1971) " A romantic, comic and disturbing work that's unlike anything else made in Britain, except perhaps the work of Roman Polanski." — Radio Times
Posted May 5, 2011
4/5 92% Before the Revolution (Prima della rivoluzione) (1965) " This is a fascinating apprentice effort, even if it is full of dated, gimmicky effects borrowed from Jean-Luc Godard." — Radio Times
Posted Apr 7, 2011
3/5 84% Moby Dick (1956) " John Huston's long-cherished adaptation of Herman Melville's novel has some wonderful scenes but must be counted as a noble failure. " — Radio Times
Posted Apr 5, 2011
5/5 89% From Here to Eternity (1953) " Director Fred Zinnemann's powerful adaptation of James Jones's bestseller won eight Oscars, upset the military and resurrected the acting career of Frank Sinatra." — Radio Times
Posted Sep 23, 2010
4/5 86% Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) " It's an acquired taste, perhaps, but Lewin was a genuine maverick talent." — Radio Times
