The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “Well directed by Robert Wise, sensibly played by Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Billy Gray, Sam Jaffe and Hugh Marlow, The Day the Earth Stood Still is more believable than most of these shiver science shockers. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “Sturges' direction...is brilliant throughout. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “Villainy has seldom been seen to such monstrous advantages as the erstwhile romantic Mr. Boyer slowly, methodically, undertakes to drive his wife mad for his own grisly ends. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “Even though you may not be sure who is being double-crossed or why, there's no reason for not getting a substantial melodramatic kick out of "Out of the Past."” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) 95% EDIT “Though "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" is undoubtedly powerful anti-spy propaganda, one may find some comfort in the fact that the villains are so easily recognizable.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “The great beauty of Miss Holliday's performance, on screen as on stage, is that for all its flamboyance it deftly ducks caricature. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% EDIT “Gaudily dressed in Technicolor, directed with all stops out by Byron Haskin, The War of the Worlds has been equipped by Barre Lyndon with a script Wells would probably be only too anxious to disown were he still around.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Aug 6, 2025 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “A rousing reminder of the gory old gangster period (celluloid variety) in which Jimmy and his bosses gave fans their money's worth of chills and excitement.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “Besides Barbara Stanwyck as a testy, tempestuous, clue and corpse chasing deb, the film represents as handsome a group of beauties as we ever remember seeing brought together outside a chorus of Glorified Goldwyn Girls or a Busby Berkeley ensemble.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “Guinness carries the film easily and almost completely, aided and abetted by Director Charles Chrichton. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Queen of the Mob (1940) 56% EDIT “Queen of the Mob is considerably less effective than other films from the same source, because, while it is sometimes exciting, more often it seems long-drawn-out and just plain depressing.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 16, 2024 Full Review The Model and the Marriage Broker (1952) 80% EDIT “[The Model and the Marriage Broker] undertakes to shove Thelma Ritter another rung up the ladder to stardom. It doesn't quite come off.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% EDIT “It's just possible that this is the boy's best so far. For now, completely at ease, Elvis not only rocks but swings smoothly through the role of a kid who lands in jail for an accidental killing.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “Ford has seldom been seen to better advantage than as Bannion... Miss Grahame adds another fine performance to those that already stand to her credit; while Scourby, Marvin and Adam Williams create genuinely terrifying portraits of beasts of prey.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “If the romantic comedy lacks the sparkle and merriment of its model, the omission cannot be held against Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 27, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “It leaps to thrilling action with the race itself, the most pictorially colorful, heart-stoppingly exciting event of the sort ever staged for the motion picture cameras. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Searchers (1956) 87% EDIT “Visually beautiful, pretentious, dramatically wandering and downright dull.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “Neither William A. Wellman's direction nor the Charles Schnee script based on a Frank Capra story give the film much conviction. But it does cover a lot of ground.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 2, 2024 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “The Dark Angel is still effective, if sensational, drama. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% EDIT “The Monroe-Russell combination smashes over the comedy in no uncertain terms. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “Brando gives a superb performance which ranges from humorous to inarticulate to deadly serious.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Back to Bataan (1945) 86% EDIT “There are excellent and exciting battle sequences, as well as one throat-tightening, laudably un-Hollywoodized, glimpse of the infamous Death March. And there are also numerous good performances under the firm, capable direction of Edward Dmytryk.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Diabolique (1955) 95% EDIT “It's a fantastically fine, grisly suspense shocker; a deep-freeze exercise in conscienceless killing; a tricky, murderous little honey dealing in sheer horror. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 31, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% EDIT “[The Lady Eve] is by all odds the best and breeziest thing at which Sturges has turned an impish hand and an equally impish pen. ” – Philadelphia Inquirer Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “"Masterpiece" and all the other enthusiastic words that are to be lavished upon [Snow White] seem too heavy a burden to bear for anything spun with such gracious, heart-warming charm, woven from the stuff of dreams.” – Philadelphia Inquirer Dec 21, 2022 Full Review
