T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
96%	Patton (1970)	The film lays bare the roots of Patton's lust for power in his willingess to sacrifice everything to his vaunting ego, a trait which is mirrored in George C Scott's superb performance. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
100%	Winchester '73 (1950)	Mann's first film with James Stewart, with whom he was to make a series of classic Westerns, this offers the clearest example of Mann's use of the revenge plot. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
95%	The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)	A classic example of a film that fudges the issues it raises. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2006
97%	To Have and Have Not (1944)	Bogie and Bacall fell in love while making the film, and their scenes reflect this, giving To Have and Have Not a degree of emotional presence that is unusual in the 'bite on the bullet' world of Hawks. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2006
88%	Five Easy Pieces (1970)	The result is less a story and more a collection of incidents and character studies, all of which inform each other and extend our understanding of Nicholson's mode of survival: flight. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 26, 2006
95%	The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)	Demonstrated Eastwood's ability to recreate his first starring role, as the mythic Man with No Name of the Italian Westerns, and to subtly undercut it through comedy and mockery. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 26, 2006
