Bite the Bullet (1975) 69% EDIT “A string of cliches both in the characters of the riders and the adventures that befall them.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “It manages to place, with more fun than harm I would say, some passable parodies on familiar film subjects before running out of road and ideas at about the half way stage.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Dogs (1979) EDIT “Since the French director Alain Jessua won the opera prima at Venice in 1964 with Life Upside Down, he has made original films at wide intervals, but none so satisfying as his first, and what must be considered a decline continues in his [The Dogs].” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Repo Man (1984) 93% EDIT “As a first feature to be written and directed by Alex Cox, an Englishman living in the United States, Repo Man must be considered a commendable achievement, though ultimately it fails to sustain its initial promise of an original subject and style.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Finders Keepers (1984) EDIT “A more complicated plot can hardly be imagined... That is now achieves coherence as well as continuous comedy must be greatly due to the script writers.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Wild Flowers (1981) EDIT “The artistry with which three generation of a little family in the country are studied is considerable, the picture beautifully composed.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review The Terminator (1984) 90% EDIT “Bullets or explosives or fire do not affect the monster, and all devotees of destruction drama should be delighted.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 8, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Carol (1984) 98% EDIT “The film in general is a triumph for that estimable article, the British character actor.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “Not so different from other sci-fi films set in space, you will say; but it is the world of the circuits, so colourful, so picturesque in its geometrical designs... that gives the film its wholly original character.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% EDIT “A lively economically little tale.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Cooley High (1975) 83% EDIT “Where the film is original, and highly rewarding, is in the realism and liveliness it finds in a group of youths.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 15, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “One for necrologists, I presume, but not for me.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Supergirl (1984) 19% EDIT “At least in the first "Superman" films the leading character as portrayed by Christopher Reeve lived up to the title.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Night Moves (1975) 78% EDIT “The general viewer will find most enjoy in taking the film as it comes, which is in short sharp scenes.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 28, 2025 Full Review The Stepford Wives (1975) 55% EDIT “Katharine Ross's Joanna is a truly impassioned performance.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) May 2, 2025 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 55% EDIT “The director, Herbert Ross, does not seem able to make Miss Streisand's very personal, and evidently very fragile talent bloom at all, as did William Wyler with the earlier film.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Brannigan (1975) 48% EDIT “The plot is impenetrable.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “This is hardly a film to merit any serious cogitation, rather to be enjoyed for its sci-fi fun and games. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “Hardly worthwhile in the absence of any new perceptions into the gangster's character or motivation.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% EDIT “Historical burlesque is really far too obvious and too familiar for the usually unpredictable Monty Python team of writers and actors, and they get terribly bogged down in Arthurian England, circa AD 932.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Rancho Deluxe (1975) 62% EDIT “All the ingredients are here... for a very boisterous illustration of the decline of the West, only it just never quite gets off the ground. The players seem right. I suspect the script, as so often.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 22% EDIT “With 16 Cole Porter songs... and elaborate settings in the now favourite 'thirties period, it might seem impossible to go wrong, but Mr. Bogdanovich achieves the impossible very thoroughly indeed.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) 87% EDIT “Beautifully directed, these children. Nice to see the seniors playing up to them so selflessly. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 60% EDIT “It is much lacking in narrative and character, and makes little of the period.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Report to the Commissioner (1975) 55% EDIT “So naturally are the characters integrated into the bustling central New York background.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 12, 2025 Full Review
