A Face in the Crowd (1957)

EDIT
“The foundations of belief are well laid. And Budd Schulberg's sardonic, explosive screenplay proceeds to erect a colossus on them. ” –

Days of Heaven (1978)
93%
EDIT
“Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and Sam Shepard are the threesome -- but passion and tragedy are distanced from us by pastoral photography of a beauty seldom equalled today.” –

North (1994)
12%
EDIT
“The overview of American parenthood and ethnic stereotypes is patronising and the satire of sitcomland too familiar to raise more than a wan smile.” –

Misery (1990)
86%
EDIT
“What happens in director Rob Reiner's thriller, scripted by William Goldman, may not be plausible. But it sure is gripping, and physically painful, too, to watch.” –

A Few Good Men (1992)
85%
EDIT
“... A Few Good Men produces many cracking good moments of entertainment. The fail-safe construction of the plot is a model of man-made drama. It spoils nothing to say that the performances eventually outgun the message.” –

The Princess Bride (1987)

EDIT
“Rob Reiner directs the William Goldman screenplay with relish and respect. It will keep you laughing happily ever after (or half-an-hour at least). ” –

Hook (1991)
37%
EDIT
“In the mechanised set-pieces, the stunts and the bits of business, like the stuffed crocodile which seems like a hangover from Spielberg's Jaws, human feeling totally vanishes.” –

The Abyss (1989)
75%
EDIT
“Director James Cameron is at home among the state-of-the-art gizmos, but he goes badly adrift as the movie converts itself into a magical mystery tour of the sea bottom designed to reassure us terrestrials that Somebody Down There Likes Us.” –

True Lies (1994)

EDIT
“James Cameron, the writer-director, has no notion of how to make a marital comedy at the same time as a James Bond-type thriller. ” –

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
91%
EDIT
“Terminator 2 is violent, yes. But the magical effects created by five separate companies skilled in computer graphics, pyrotechnics, miniatures, animatronic make-up and optical illusions do wonders for the overkill.” –

A Christmas Carol (1984)
98%
EDIT
“Tony Imi's photography encompasses every tone in the tale from the everyday to the supernatural -- and never, never makes the tinselly mistake of offering us merely a Christmas Card.” –

Predator (1987)
64%
EDIT
“Like many a big simple picture - not to mention a big simple star like Schwarzenegger - Predator is a hand-finished job of dazzling body-work even if there's not much inside it.” –

EDIT
“Directed by Stephen Hopkins, it looks better than it really is, which is only another mindless body-count score-board from producer Joel Silver.” –
