Romance
Romance
Arthur
Charmless and unfunny.
An Officer and a Gentleman
Rough around the edges but with a compelling second half that redeems the picture.
The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek
A 1940s comedy that trades on dated shock and directionless zaniness that was likely cutting edge for its time but is fairly empty for a modern viewer.
Love & Sex
This movie about personal romantic history has all the storytelling flair of an anthropologist’s doctoral thesis.
To Catch A Thief
A lighter Hitchcock, but every bit as fun.
Table 19
Misleading marketing, disappointing movie.
The Band Wagon
A decent musical hurt most by its inability to live up to its reputation as a masterpiece.
Swing Time
This Astaire and Rogers classic is long on musical bits and short on plot, but what it gets right, it gets really really right.
Desk Set
A tremendously fun, smart, and timeless film about love and modernization.
Adam’s Rib
A surprisingly nuanced dramatic comedy about gender equality.
Always Be My Maybe
Always Be My Maybe is generally fun and has its endearing moments, but it’s ultimately nothing special.
