The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “Although the theme is admittedly fantastic, one is made to feel as if he is seeing a real-life occurrence because of the expert handling of the subject matter and the extremely fine special effects work. ” – Harrison's Reports Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% EDIT “Excellent. A superb Western, well acted and crammed full of action, human interest, pathos, suspense, plus some romance and humor.” – Harrison's Reports Jan 15, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “Being a morbid story, without a cheering ray of light to brighten its consistently tragic atmosphere, it can hardly be classified as popular entertainment. ” – Harrison's Reports Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “An excellent psychological thriller; it will appeal to the intelligentsia because of the fine direction and acting, and to the rank and file because of the sustained suspense and the general tenseness of the story. ” – Harrison's Reports Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “For all the excellence of the technical skill, the picture's entertainment value is suitable chiefly for children who should be fascinated by the antics of the eccentric characters. ” – Harrison's Reports Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “An unpleasant but visually gripping juvenile delinquency melodrama...” – Harrison's Reports Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Born Yesterday (1950) 95% EDIT “An excellent adult comedy. ” – Harrison's Reports Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% EDIT “The picture is worth seeing, if only for the marvel of its mechanics, which were carried out by the director with intelligence and skill.” – Harrison's Reports Aug 6, 2025 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “Insofar as production, direction and acting are concerned, this is a top crime melodrama; but it can hardly be classified as entertainment, for it is one of the most vicious and demoralizing pictures ever produced, despite the crime-does-not-pay ending.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “A good comedy-murder mystery melodrama. Although several murders are committed, the picture is not gruesome, for the tension is relieved by wise-cracks and comical situations.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Caine Mutiny (1954) 95% EDIT “A top dramatic achievement, one that should give full satisfaction to all types of audiences.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 19, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “Cleverly written, directed, and acted, it is a sly burlesque on crime pictures in general. ” – Harrison's Reports Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Three Godfathers (1936) 50% EDIT “The second half, which takes place on the desert, is pretty tiresome, and the different desert shots, which show Chester Morris and his two pals wearily trudging across it, wear on one's nerves.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Queen of the Mob (1940) 56% EDIT “Just another gangster melodrama.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Law and Order (1932) 90% EDIT “The action is fast and thrilling all the way through, but it is chiefly a man’s picture, for it is full of shooting.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 16, 2024 Full Review The Model and the Marriage Broker (1952) 80% EDIT “Many chuckles as well as some touching and warm moments are provided by this romantic comedy-drama... The direction and acting are first-rate.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 16, 2024 Full Review The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) 89% EDIT “Despite its somber theme, this is a forceful melodrama ; it grips the spectator, and holds his attention throughout.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 16, 2024 Full Review She Done Him Wrong (1933) 93% EDIT “Mae West is in a class by herself, since she can do and say vulgar things, sing ribald songs, and still not be particularly offensive because of her likeable personality. As for the story, one should not take it seriously if one hopes to be entertained.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% EDIT “Although he is far from a finished actor, Presley continues to show improvement and does fairly well in a somewhat unsympathetic characterization... The story is synthetic, but it has been given good direction and fits Presley's personality,” – Harrison's Reports Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Big Heat (1953) 95% EDIT “One of the best produced crime melodramas to have come out of Hollywood in some time. It is taut and exciting, and the direction and acting are so skillful that one is made to feel as if present at a real-life occurrence.” – Harrison's Reports Apr 11, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “A heart-warming human interest drama, superbly produces in Technicolor... the sort of picture that will appeal to all types of audiences. ” – Harrison's Reports Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Searchers (1956) 87% EDIT “Discriminating picture-goers, however, probably will find its story curiously foggy and therefore disappointing, mainly because of the vagueness surrounding the principal character played by Wayne, whose motivations are never made clear.” – Harrison's Reports Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Westward the Women (1951) 69% EDIT “The picture offers much excitement and many thrills.” – Harrison's Reports Mar 7, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “It is draggy, and all quite confusing, the average audience will find it difficult to follow the story.” – Harrison's Reports Feb 21, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “The background of the state fair, with its side-shows, and its masses of people who look forward to this yearly event, is colorful and at times exciting.” – Harrison's Reports Nov 10, 2023 Full Review
