The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “The calm face, the tolerant smile, the somewhat surprised attitude at mankind's silliness all make Klaatu a likeable character instead of a fearful one. ” – Boston Globe Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “Now William Roberts has rewritten slightly the story by Akira Kurosawa and Hideo Oguni. The result is another "Magnificent Seven," still thrilling, gory, savage and satisfactory. ” – Boston Globe Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “Miss Bergman contributes one of her finest and most convincing performances as the unhappy girl who is driven to the verge of insanity by a scheming husband.” – Boston Globe Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “...George Stevens has directed [the film] with keen sympathy and powerful impact, and the three chief stars, Montgomery Clift. Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters, resourcefully and sensitively illustrate the beauty and the tragedy of youth.” – Boston Globe Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “"Out of the Past" may be well acted, and it has a certain amount of suspense, but when it comes to the logic and well planned solution, the film is found wanting.” – Boston Globe Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “Alice in Wonderland, as Mr. Disney has given her to us, possesses imagination, childlike delight, and pure fantasy, sparkling with wit and fun. It's mad and marvelous.” – Boston Globe Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “Unfortunately the story is just as confused as the character, with the result that the Warner Brothers film is astounding without being at all convincing; shocking without making you believe it's true for an instant.” – Boston Globe Oct 24, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% EDIT “[High and Low] is a fine detective story, and it describes in fascinating, if somewhat too lengthy, detail the tedious but gradually tightening net which enmeshes a particularly clever kidnaper. ” – Boston Globe Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% EDIT “The War of the Worlds is designed for the credulous, the adolescent and the reader of make-believe "science" fiction. But it also has its moments for those who like to laugh at the strange and weird machinations of the Hollywood script writers.” – Boston Globe Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Falcon Takes Over (1942) EDIT “The various facets of the story are nicely polished and presented under the direction of Irving Reis.” – Boston Globe Jun 24, 2025 Full Review The Gold Rush (1925) 98% EDIT “Now the sequences which were considered brilliant in their technical perfection look crude and artificial, but the funny gags remain quite as delightful, and as provocative of mirth.” – Boston Globe Jun 24, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “This film is as exciting as the discovery of a new dimension in life.” – Boston Globe Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Barbarella (1968) 65% EDIT “The story is as silly and as unmelodramatic as can possibly be imagined; the acting is incredibly uninspired, and the "put-on" turns into a bog, elaborately staged bore. ” – Boston Globe Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Planet of the Apes (1968) 86% EDIT “[Planet of the Apes] has a strong basic theme and a finale which is so powerful and at the same time frightening that only an adult mind can appreciate the implications. It is one of the most worth while productions of the year.” – Boston Globe May 1, 2024 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “James Cagney gives an astounding, realistic, terrific portrayal of a gangster as menacing and as ruthless as any ever played on the screen as the star of White Heat.” – Boston Globe Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The Alec Guinness picture is top-hole, as they say in England, with some wonderful wit, jolly dialogue and an alluring plot. ” – Boston Globe Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% EDIT “To Presley Fans, Jailhouse Rock will undoubtedly have a strong appeal. To others the picture will be of only small interest. ” – Boston Globe Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “The action is fast, [and] the work of both Ford and Gloria Grahame... are of top excellence.” – Boston Globe Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “When Miss Hepburn moves on to her romantic and delicate comedy scenes with the playboy, Mr. Holden, and the austere business man-brother, Mr. Bogart, the old Hepburn magic flashes out and again Sabrina becomes a joyous comedy. ” – Boston Globe Mar 27, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “National Velvet makes you feel like a better person after you see it because it proves that fairy tales can turn into reality and that the strongest and most powerful force in life is a child's belief and her dreams.” – Boston Globe Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “No matter how closely or how loosely it is based on actual incident, is engrossing cinema.” – Boston Globe Mar 7, 2024 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “An artistic and emotional success - handsomely produced, with a careful eye to detail, and yet compelling and poignant in its play upon the heartstrings. ” – Boston Globe Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “If you are seeing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for the first time, it will probably please through its lavishness, and decorative qualities. ” – Boston Globe Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “This is a memorable presentation.” – Boston Globe Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Flower Drum Song (1961) 79% EDIT “This is genuine holiday joy-making, and the Rodgers tunes give zip and romance to the film.” – Boston Globe Feb 28, 2023 Full Review
