The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “A good story, abetted by a moral these foolish mortals here below can take home with them, keeps this new thriller at top pitch throughout its telling. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “...the major laurels still go to Sturges who has handled his situations and cast with a power and glory tending to create a major western movie.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 15, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “It is quite the most moving, most disturbing and most nearly realistic melodrama I have seen in years.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “All cheers lead back to Miss Bergman, who delivers the most accurate and sensitive screen performance I have ever seen in years.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “As case-hardened melodrama and an exciting study in violence, "Out of the Past" is a pretty gripping picture.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “The color is a constant and steady visual thrill. The depths achieved in many scenes are greater than I remember in "Disney" before and all the major characters are not only voiced but given proper emotion, temperament and personification.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) 95% EDIT “Litvak's direction is unfalteringly sure.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “Born Yesterday is one of those rare pictures which belts the spectator with continuous laughs while telling him seriously that no little guy in America will stand for a continued pushing around. ” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 13, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% EDIT “The black-and-white CinemaScope camera work is very good. Suspense is built and maintained. High and Low is assuredly a worthwhile [crime thriller].” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Gold Rush (1925) 98% EDIT “No finer comedy invention has come to the screen in the talkie era than The Gold Rush. Certainly, my children. This is one of them. It is one of the best on the screens today. Don't miss it.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Gone With the Wind (1939) 90% EDIT “The entire cast is about as flawless as I have ever seen in one picture.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 5, 2022 Full Review 007 - You Only Live Twice (1967) 73% EDIT “The picture is upholstered to the nines, which means there has been no cheating on the production values. Lewis Gilbert's directorial pace is at outer-space speed all the time.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review Casino Royale (1967) 26% EDIT “The melodrama has been staged on a lavish scale and everybody quite literally acts out the window.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review Casablanca (1942) 99% EDIT “The support is strong. The atmosphere of Casablanca, the excellent camera work, the taut direction and the superb playing -- all these and an actionful script put this show up among the top ones.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review Dr. No (1962) 95% EDIT “It reads like a serial and plays the same way, quite as if it were several chapters of genuine cliff-hanger compressed into one feature picture. The action is there, as rapid as the movement of a flapping window blind in a hurricane.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review From Russia With Love (1963) 97% EDIT “Cliff-hanging, 1964: that's From Russia with Love. That is, you get a complete serial every five minutes, often with a new babe or two falling for James Bond's masculine charms.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review 007: Goldfinger (1964) 99% EDIT “This is the third, tightest and wildest script Sean Connery, as the invincible agent, has yet had on the screen.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Dec 30, 2017 Full Review The Lovers (1958) 91% EDIT “Without its shockingly nasty climax, The Lovers would be shunned by all moviegoers. With it, the prurient-minded will have a ball.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 1, 1958 Full Review
