Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	97%	Major Dundee (1965)	" Sam Peckinpah's crippled film plays best as a dry run for The Wild Bunch." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 3, 2005
	93%	No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005)	" As good as it gets in music documentaries." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 27, 2005
	73%	Intervista (1984)	" Federico Fellini broke through all the walls he could find in 1987's delightfully jumbled Intervista. The maestro created a film about a film about a film." — Hollywood Reporter Posted May 1, 2005
	88%	F for Fake (1974)	" Welcome to the philosophical fun house that is F for Fake, stuffed full of questions about the nature of art and authorship, illusion and reality, lies and truth." — Hollywood Reporter Posted May 1, 2005
	98%	Raging Bull (1980)	" An underdog in its day and a classic today." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 23, 2005
	100%	Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)	" Stanley Kubrick's blackest of black comedies." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 18, 2004
	97%	GoodFellas (1990)	" Brutal, stylish, hypnotic and addictive, GoodFellas remains Scorsese's best film." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 2, 2004
	97%	The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) (1966)	" Sergio Leone's epic looks good, almost great, restored to its original running time." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 8, 2004
3/5	47%	Homegrown (1998)	— Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
4/5	100%	The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939)	" Many actors have tried, but none has surpassed Basil Rathbone's embodiment of Sherlock Holmes." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
4/5	100%	The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)	" Many actors have tried, but none has surpassed Basil Rathbone's embodiment of Sherlock Holmes." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
3/5	92%	School of Rock (2003)	" Richard Linklater and Jack Black talk a lot about the imperative to rock hard, but their commentary is more Milli Vanilli than Iggy Pop." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
4/5	88%	The Commitments (1991)	" 'The Commitments' soars with a new 5.1 mix and a beautifully toned widescreen presentation, atoning for Fox's previous full-screen release." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
4/5	36%	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)	" New Line celebrates the improbable artistic success of "Chainsaw" Jr. with a surgically sharp two-disc "Platinum Edition" DVD set." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
2/5	78%	Continental Divide (1981)	— Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
3/5	90%	The Pink Panther (1963)	" The five original "Pink Panther" films return in a swinging set. Blake Edwards delivers a delightful solo commentary on the first and best film, "The Pink Panther."" — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 4, 2004
	97%	Alien (1979)	" Alien looks amazing, almost like a new film." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 5, 2004
3/5	90%	The Lion King (2011)	" Restored and remastered, "Lion King" looks and sounds spectacular. Too bad about all those ads and the looney navigation." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 4, 2004
3.5/5	69%	Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)	" Robert Rodriguez's DVD film school is back in session. He uses the extras to show viewers how to make a movie on the cheap and on the run. " — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 4, 2004
5/5	100%	Indiana Jones - The Adventure Collection ()	" For many fans and videophiles, the Indy Jones trilogy was the holy grail of DVD titles. Paramount met most of their high expectations with this whip-smart set." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 15, 2004
4/5	——	Rocky & Bullwinkle Show - Complete Season 1 (2003)	" The four-disc set packs in 26 shows, more or less as they aired back in the day. The presentation is probably as good as it's going to get -- and it's good enough. " — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 15, 2004
5/5	——	Alien Legacy (1999)	" 'Alien Quadrilogy' weighs in as the new heavyweight champ of DVD boxed sets. The behemoth stands at the intersection of video obsession and science fiction geekdom." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 15, 2004
5/5	97%	Spirited Away (2001)	" 'Spirited Away' will be a revelation -- and a test -- for mainstream viewers. At times, the film appears better suited for the Ecstasy crowd than the Nickelodeon generation. " — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 15, 2004
	96%	Pumping Iron (2003)	" Its in-your-face images of the bodybuilding subculture's well-oiled narcissism both startled and fascinated viewers, making for an unlikely boxoffice hit." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 6, 2004
3/5	96%	Pumping Iron (2003)	" DVD extras play like ads for the movie and its star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, but there is an odd and compelling new element." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 13, 2003
	90%	The Lion King (2011)	" A crown jewel of modern Disney animation." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 14, 2003
	100%	The Gold Rush (1925)	" The Gold Rush has been delighting audiences for almost 80 years -- it's one of the flat-out funniest films made in the silent era or any other." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 26, 2003
	92%	The Great Dictator (1940)	" The film remains controversial to this day." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 26, 2003
	97%	Ran (1985)	" Kurosawa dares to edit Shakespeare's story lines, adding back stories and deleting major characters, but the motivations and emotions remain true." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 16, 2003
	97%	Kumonosu Jô (Throne of Blood) (Macbeth) (1957)	" Widely regarded as one of the most successful film adaptations of a Bard play." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 16, 2003
	98%	Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)	" Roger looks terrific after 15 years." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 14, 2003
	89%	20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954)	" The talky 20,000 Leagues probably won't thrill kids fresh from The Matrix, but they may be interested to know that the Verne film was the effects marvel of its day." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 14, 2003
	86%	The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)	" By turns, creepy and cheesy, literate and vapid." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 14, 2003
