T-Meter Title | Year
4/5 100% I Know Where I'm Going! (1947) One of the greatest (and sadly most forgotten) romantic comedies ever, which has not a cracking script, but some trademark-terrific visuals. - Empire Magazine EDIT

3/5 67% The Devils (1971) Whatever the moral perspective, it keeps you gripped right to the end. - Empire Magazine EDIT

4/5 47% My Fellow Americans (1996) Okay, so it's Midnight Run meets All The President's Men, but the Lemmon-Garner rapport is dynamite and the glittering support cast of Lauren Bacall, Dan Aykroyd and John Heard are given sparkling dialogue. - Empire Magazine EDIT

5/5 100% The Public Enemy (1931) Still a classic of the gangster genre, showing neither glorifying the life nor pulling its punches. - Empire Magazine EDIT

4/5 100% The Philadelphia Story (1940) Excellent casting, a great storyline and a shrp script mean that this remains a classic of the genre and one of Katherine Hepburn's best roles. - Empire Magazine EDIT

B 56% The Santa Clause 2 (2002) This Disney film is exactly what is needed now to get into the holiday spirit. Its theme that you are never too old to believe is a positive message that can be used in any situation. - Houston Chronicle EDIT

5/5 94% Vertigo (1958) Hitchcock's most disturbing masterpiece. - Empire Magazine EDIT

4/5 89% The Spanish Prisoner (1997) David Mamet has really stumped us this time. This, his fifth film as writer-director, is his most mainstream work to date, but it also happens to be his cleverest, craftiest and most conniving. - Empire Magazine EDIT

3/5 49% Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) Visually incredible and blessed with great performances from Depp and Del Toro, this is destined for cult classic status - but the plot and symbolism are less impressive. - Empire Magazine EDIT
