Drama
All Quiet on the Western Front
One of the most effective and affecting pieces of anti-war media I have ever consumed.
A Streetcar Name Desire
This superbly well made adaptation of one of America’s great works of the theater I appreciated but didn’t like, probably due to personal taste.
The NeverEnding Story
This 80s classic is beloved by many, for reasons which entirely escape me.
The Gold Rush
The film Charlie Chaplin most wanted to be remembered for doesn’t disappoint.
All The President’s Men
The Godfather of investigative journalism movies is still first in class.
Emperor
An interesting piece of docudrama clumsily told.
Wuthering Heights
This Gothic romance adaptation offers compelling drama for those who won’t mind the callowness of its main characters, or its more supernatural elements.
The Cat’s Meow
A dull and disappointing stab at telling a salacious “true” story from Hollywood’s early years.
About Time
Airtight internal logic and a deep connection to what it means to be human aid this genre-bending time travel fantasy navigate in, and out of, the structures of a traditional romantic comedy.
Vision Quest
An uneven coming of age story.
10 Items or Less
Too short to let the story and characters develop, too aimless for me to really care.
12 Angry Men
One of the best legal dramas, ever.
