The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “If science fiction interests you then The Day the Earth Stood Still will provide a different and exciting evening in the cinema.” – London Evening Standard Jan 16, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “...George Stevens has injected an unusual and distinctive amount of brilliant direction into this ordinary tale.” – Liverpool Echo Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “[Walt Disney] has made two disastrous miscalculations in this film version of the Lewis Carroll classic. He has tried to be funny about nonsense and he has attempted to add topicality to what is essentially timeless. ” – London Evening Standard Jan 9, 2026 Full Review The Sure Thing (1985) 84% EDIT “John Cusack, as an adolescent uncommonly sex-starved, will probably appeal to kids of his own age group.” – London Evening Standard Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Finders Keepers (1984) EDIT “Richard Lester made a name for himself in the Sixties as a director of such delightful zany films as The Knack and Help! It is a pity to see only slim vestiges of that talent in an obvious, ponderous comedy like Finders Keepers.” – London Evening Standard Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Repo Man (1984) 93% EDIT “Alex Cox, making his directing debut, reveals a facility for visual anarchy but little evidence that he has much control over his material.” – London Evening Standard Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “James Cameron's direction is frantic enough to keep one interested in a very silly picture.” – London Evening Standard Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “Directed by Stuart Gordon as if he would revel in the explosion at a blood bank.” – London Evening Standard Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “The film, however, belongs to Judy Holliday for her gleeful characterization of the Brooklyn lass who gave up her wrongs for the Bill of Rights. ” – London Evening Standard Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Grand National Night (1953) EDIT “A routine who-done-it that tails off into an exasperating one with an unconvincing and stiffly contrived solution.” – London Evening Standard Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (1952) EDIT “That three shepherd children should have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary on a hillside in Portugal in 1917 is incredible enough. This picture succeeds in making it utterly unbelievable.” – London Evening Standard Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% EDIT “The War of the Worlds is an impressive and spectacular example of science-fiction hokum with just enough moments of adult horror to merit its "X" certificate. But I shudder to think of what will happen to us should the Martians ever learn to gargle.” – London Evening Standard Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) 39% EDIT “The intrusion of a magic stick and a sparkling tinkerbell character... and the constant pleading of the tear-stained Cindel for her Mummy made me feel that I had just been injected with an overdose of saccharine.” – London Evening Standard Apr 28, 2025 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “The acting is impressively good with Alec Guinness giving an exquisite and terrifyingly real interpretation of the secret thoughts that must invade those mild-mannered fellows who cash your checks and remind you of your overdrafts. ” – London Evening Standard Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% EDIT “If Stalag 17 is a private, national joke, then it ought to be confined to distribution in the United States. where it can be understood and enjoyed. Over here it only confounds and confuses friends of America.” – London Evening Standard Nov 5, 2022 Full Review The Young and the Damned (1950) 91% EDIT “This is a cold and ruthless film as impersonal as a surgeon's knife... The direction of Luis Buñuel leaves you almost numb with its chilly message of harsh futility.” – Liverpool Echo Sep 19, 2022 Full Review High Noon (1952) 94% EDIT “In its early stages High Noon promises more than it eventually yields. The tension is skilfully maintained and the increasing loneliness of the marshal effectively accumulated. The action is swift, tense and fluid. ” – Liverpool Echo Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Amadeus (1984) 90% EDIT “Miloš Forman’s direction has blended pictures and sound into a ravishing feast for the senses. Shaffer’s invented story inevitably cowers beneath such a canopy of delight.” – London Evening Standard Jul 11, 2022 Full Review The Last Starfighter (1984) 76% EDIT “Unfortunately the sight of spaceships hurtling through tunnels of glittering stars and regularly blown to smithereens has, with familiarity, acquired the excitement of a potato sack race.” – London Evening Standard May 2, 2022 Full Review Dune (1984) 36% EDIT “Even if the plot has a serpentine complexity, the visual Impact of David Lynch s direction is never less than dazzling.” – London Evening Standard May 2, 2022 Full Review She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) 92% EDIT “It seems a pity then that with all this taking place in rich, luscious Technicolor, Ford felt it necessary to slow up these healthy activities with over-long intervals of adolescent love-making and tedious sentiment.” – London Evening Standard Nov 24, 2021 Full Review All the King's Men (1949) 97% EDIT “It brilliantly tackles a contemporary and important American problem. But I am afraid that it never follows through its subject-matter... Having bitten into a hot potato, All the King's Men has not had the courage to swallow it.” – London Evening Standard Nov 24, 2021 Full Review
