Movies TV Shows
The Gold Rush (1925) 98% EDIT “Essentially it is hokum, but it is Chaplin's supreme talent to endow everything he does with life, and the hokum disappears under his magic hands, becoming the pure gold of comedy.” – The Nation Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Citizen Kane (1941) 99% EDIT “Welles has shown Hollywood how to make movies.” – Esquire Magazine May 6, 2020 Full Review Casablanca (1942) 99% EDIT “Casablanca is one of the most exciting melodramas the screen has ever produced. And it is mature, intelligently conceived, and, within the limits of melodrama, honest.” – Esquire Magazine Sep 20, 2019 Full Review In Which We Serve (1942) 90% EDIT “Palpably fraudulent.” – Esquire Magazine Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Air Force (1943) 82% EDIT “There isn't a literary line in Air Force; and there isn't a phony character.” – Esquire Magazine Sep 20, 2019 Full Review City Lights (1931) 95% EDIT “Charlie Chaplin has created one of his masterpieces. I do not know whether to rank it before this or after that; it is a completely organized and a completely created whole which exists for itself without question and without comparison.” – The New Republic Mar 27, 2001 Full Review
