Funny Lady (1975) 55% 3/5 EDIT “The musical numbers are fine.” – Radio Times Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Kiss of Death (1947) 89% 4/5 EDIT “An adult and involving crime drama with a truly tragic dimension, this is considerably better than the unnecessary remake that starred CSI: Miami's David Caruso and a bulked-up Nicolas Cage.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Obsession (1976) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Star Wars editor Paul Hirsch consolidated his reputation on this movie, which is nearly, but not quite, as clever as it thinks it is.” – Radio Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Ocean's Eleven (1960) 47% 4/5 EDIT “It's directed in glossy Panavision by veteran Lewis Milestone, who keeps a tight lid on the Rat Pack's antics. The ending, if rather derivative, is still utterly brilliant.” – Radio Times Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Italian Job (1969) 82% 3/5 EDIT “It's a mightily popular movie, helped immeasurably by the now-iconic status of Caine, the soundtrack from Quincy Jones, the editing by John Trumper, and the marvellous Coward, who masterminds the whole wheeze from his prison cell. ” – Radio Times Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Elvis (1979) 67% 4/5 EDIT “For those who don't know the story, or who were too young at the time, this is a worthwhile introduction, a biopic made with respect and affection that doesn't resort to hagiography.” – Radio Times Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Singin' in the Rain (1952) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It's a unique work of art crafted for the screen by a studio (MGM) at its height.” – Radio Times Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Sweet Smell of Success (1957) 98% 5/5 EDIT “...t remains a milestone tribute to its canny British director Alexander Mackendrick. ” – Radio Times Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Top Hat (1935) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Good-natured, warm-hearted and very witty, this is a movie to treasure for its sumptuous Art Deco design and the pairing of its principal players.” – Radio Times Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Ninotchka (1939) 95% 5/5 EDIT “This is without doubt one of the funniest, most original screen comedies ever made, and from the greatest year in Hollywood's history. ” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review On the Town (1949) 94% 5/5 EDIT “This utterly exhilarating landmark movie musical gave Gene Kelly and choreographer Stanley Donen their directing break.” – Radio Times Aug 22, 2024 Full Review The Killers (1946) 100% 5/5 EDIT “This is one of the most powerful and influential thrillers ever made, with director Robert Siodmak's lovingly bleak and pessimistic tone virtually defining the term film noir.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review The Odessa File (1974) 69% 3/5 EDIT “A terrific Frederick Forsyth plot and impressive production values make this thriller eminently watchable, even if veteran director Ronald Neame lets the pace drag and the length feels excessive. ” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Intolerance (1916) 98% 5/5 EDIT “This is one of the most satisfying films ever made; timeless and still stunning in its revolutionary and assured use of the medium.” – Radio Times Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939) 81% 5/5 EDIT “This welcome, warm-hearted, humanitarian work was beautifully filmed in England by MGM and is a fine example of that great studio at its peak. ” – Radio Times Jul 22, 2024 Full Review 42nd Street (1933) 92% 5/5 EDIT “A masterpiece, not merely for its racy dialogue and lavish costumes, or for its now-classic "newcomer goes on instead of indisposed star" plot, but also for affording kaleidoscope choreographer Busby Berkeley a chance to show off in such superb numbers.” – Radio Times Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It's a fast-paced, gritty melodrama, which, though much copied and even parodied, has never been bettered.” – Radio Times May 30, 2024 Full Review Captain Blood (1935) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Today, it's a little long and creaks in places, and Flynn was never much of an actor, but the camera loved his devil-may-care arrogance, and Captain Blood remains important as the first leading role of one of the greatest of all movie legends.” – Radio Times Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Gunga Din (1939) 89% 5/5 EDIT “George Stevens makes a superb job of handling the rumbustious squaddies in his biggest budget movie to date. ” – Radio Times Apr 4, 2024 Full Review The Mark of Zorro (1940) 92% 4/5 EDIT “This is a wonderful adaptation of the great romantic legend, based on the 1919 Johnston McCulley story.” – Radio Times Apr 4, 2024 Full Review The Holcroft Covenant (1985) 30% 2/5 EDIT “It's easy to blame once-talented director John Frankenheimer for making this farrago unwatchable, but the more likely obstacle is that the Robert Ludlum source novel is cinematically intractable.” – Radio Times Aug 3, 2021 Full Review The Women (1939) 94% 4/5 EDIT “"Woman's director" George Cukor was in his element with this cast and such strong source material, and this particular print keeps intact the famous fashion sequence in Technicolor.” – Radio Times May 24, 2021 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% 2/5 EDIT “The Power and the Glory can't help but seem historically interesting, but, despite its relatively short running time, it's actually something of an endurance test.” – Radio Times May 13, 2021 Full Review Babes in Arms (1939) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Okay, so it's just a "putting on the show right here" musical, but it was one of the first and it's still one of the best.” – Radio Times Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Stormy Weather (1943) 95% 3/5 EDIT “It remains particularly entertaining a record of wonderful talents preserved on celluloid.” – Radio Times Jan 28, 2021 Full Review
