Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Days of Heaven (1978)	Peter Travers	Days of Heaven is too self-consciously beautiful to support its narrative framework. Intentionally or not, the wonders and horrors of nature dwarf the characters to such an extent that they are rendered insignificant and often boring by contrast. Posted Feb 04, 2026 Edit critic review
	Tron (1982)	Peter Travers	Bridges has often proved himself more than adequate before, but even he can't overcome the material. Posted Oct 06, 2025 Edit critic review
	Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)	Peter Travers	After 10 minutes into The Empire Strikes Back, I realized that I was getting more than I bargained for. This film was not a sequel at all, but a freshly conceived movie marvel. Posted Apr 24, 2025 Edit critic review
	Apocalypse Now (1979)	Peter Travers	Apocalypse Now is far from perfect. It has as many vices as virtues. But the virtues are as stunning and passionate as anything you're ever likely to see on screen. Posted Sep 23, 2024 Edit critic review
3.5/4	Postcards From the Edge (1990)	Marshall Fine	Both hilarious and moving, a movie that operates on several levels with equal alacrity. Posted Apr 29, 2024 Edit critic review
	Alien (1979)	Peter Travers	The most intriguing aspect of the film is actress Sigourney Weaver, who cuts quite an imposing figure as the one intelligent member of the ship's crew besides the monster. Posted Nov 16, 2023 Edit critic review
	Prophecy (1979)	Peter Travers	Frankenheimer even makes moral noises about what industrial pollution is doing to our lives. But Prophecy's moral aspirations turn out to be mere window dressing for an old-fashioned and not very convincing monster movie. Posted Nov 16, 2023 Edit critic review
	Dawn of the Dead (1978)	Peter Travers	In the final analysis, Dawn of the Dead exploits more than illuminates the bloodlust of our times. No technical proficiency, however cleverly utilized, can quite cover up the hole in its moral center. Posted Nov 16, 2023 Edit critic review
	Raging Bull (1980)	Peter Travers	Of course, the film's true glory is De Niro. To miss him in anything is a mistake; to miss him here at the peak of his remarkable powers is to lose out on a once-in-a-lifetime film experience. Posted Oct 10, 2023 Edit critic review
	Girlfriends (1978)	Peter Travers	Watching these two come to grips with the ghosts they've left in each other's lives is alternately exhilarating and devastating, but ultimately deeply satisfying. Posted May 18, 2023 Edit critic review
