Watching this masterwork allows you to return to the filmmaking sensibility of the 1960s, when epics looked like epics.

Masterfully arranged for color, texture, decor and camera fluidity, The Conformist is more like a symphonic poem than a movie. (Review of 1994 Release)

Its themes of passion, heartbreak and the inexorable passage of time are eternal.

Observed mostly from Remy's rat's-eye view, Gusteau's kitchen is a memorable world-in-miniature with its vivid old-fashioned stoves, bright, brassy pots and general air of frenzied industry; never did sliced red onions or simmering soup look so fresh and real.

It doesn't matter how many times you see these images. They're always exciting.

Manchurian, with its fatalistic, dreamlike quality, comprises two of [Frankenheimer's] finest hours. [Re-release]

This movie -- which is equally appealing to children (those of adventurous, non-freak-outable spirit), Japanese animation (anime) fans, and any surviving acquaintances of Timothy Leary -- is so full of invention, you might want to take a breather now and then.

A sophisticatedly sappy masterpiece that bucked the prevailing Hollywood vision of aliens as nasty invaders and recast them as friendly collectibles for children.

Brilliant and brutal, funny and exhilarating, jaw-droppingly cruel and disarmingly sweet...To watch this movie (whose 2 1/2 hours speed by unnoticed) is to experience a near-assault of creativity.

One of the most pleasurable movies of the year.

This movie is not only a thrilling experience, it closes the book on a truly satisfying trilogy.

Magnificently nonchalant about its magic.

This heavy-hitting fist lands with calculated deliberation. Despite Spielberg's obviously genuine commitment, "Schindler's List" feels strangely controlled -- more than impassioned. It's officially artistic, an engineered project of pride, Little Stevie's growing-up project, rather than an organically brilliant masterpiece.

It hasn't aged so much as triumphantly metastasized. (Review twenty years after release).

On one level, Yi Yi is classic soap opera, with a suicide attempt, a wedding ceremony, even a brutal 11 o'clock news murder, all in the mix. But Yang's direction is so admirably restrained, it lends rich heft to everything.

You believe in everything.

Moolaade, in short, is a movie to rock the soul.

For students of cool ... Le Cercle Rouge is required viewing.

Mirren's finely calibrated performance reveals a complex woman coping with a bewildering world, and Blair's growing sympathy for his beleaguered monarch gradually becomes ours. This nuanced compassion may not impress the real Queen Elizabeth II, but, for us commoners, it makes for a richer experience.

There's no doubt about the film's sheer power and taut originality.

Reveals itself detail by searing detail.

An intriguing yarn.

There are so many things to enjoy here.

An extraordinary film ... that's impossible to dismiss or leave unmoved.

The more you see of Apocalypse, the more obvious its triumphs AND mistakes.

His (Tarkovsky's) pictures, and his sounds -- such as the symphonic drip of raindrops in a wooded pond -- tell more than just the immediate story; they rejuvenate the mind.

A 160 minute work of sustained brilliance and delicacy.

So full of creativity, so subversive, so alive.
