The Great Gatsby (2013)
|
"The result is less a conventional movie adaptation than a splashy, trashy opera, a wayward, lavishly theatrical celebration of the emotional and material extravagance that Fitzgerald surveyed with fascinated ambivalence."

The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1972)
|
"A lovely, odd sort of middle Western. That is, it's neither conventional Western fiction nor completely documented fact, although it makes full use of history and is as crammed with the artifacts of 19th-century America."

The Art of Love (1965)

40 Pounds of Trouble (1963)

The Happy House (2013)

Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn (2013)
