Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% 3/3 EDIT “The music, soothing and lullaby-ish, is still not up to the “Snow White” score but Alice proves to be every little girl’s dream of the heroine she loves to read about.” – Photoplay Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “A real star blazes forth in the cinema heavens this time, and no mistake! After seeing this simple, but intensely moving play, you'll always have a place on your movie-going program whenever Margaret Sullavan is billed!” – Photoplay Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “The dialogue is fresh and naughty; and the plot is so well turned you really will have trouble guessing whodunnit.” – Photoplay Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Three Godfathers (1936) 50% EDIT “Chester Morris is superb as the toughest of them, while Lewis Stone as the cultured "Doc" and Walter "Old Atrocity" Brennan as Gits are also excellent.” – Photoplay Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Queen of the Mob (1940) 56% EDIT “Blanche Yurka turns in a wonderful performance as Ma. Ralph Bellamy and Jack Carson are excellent G-men.” – Photoplay Apr 16, 2024 Full Review The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) 89% EDIT “[The story is] exquisitely if a bit somberly told.” – Photoplay Apr 16, 2024 Full Review She Done Him Wrong (1933) 93% EDIT “A brawly howl of a picture that for sheer first class spicy rough stuff, takes the cake.” – Photoplay Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Paths to Paradise (1925) 100% EDIT “[A] comedy that proves to be a riot with laughs from beginning to end. This is a splendid crook comedy with the silk hat comedian, Raymond Griffith, and Betty Compson in the featured roles. As for Griffith -- each production marks a step forward.” – Photoplay Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “A slender but sprightly comedy-romance gives Audrey Hepburn another chance to weave her unique spell. ” – Photoplay Mar 28, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “Here is a magnificent story with heart appeal, well directed, acted beyond the dreamed-of capabilities of the players and building heartbeat upon heartbeat to the climax.” – Photoplay Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Sherlock, Jr. (1924) 86% EDIT “This is by no means Keaton's most hilarious offering, but it is short, snappy and amusing. Comedies are like oases in a celluloid world, rare and refreshing, and you don't want to miss Buster with his immobile face and unique composure in his new setting.” – Photoplay Feb 23, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “The story is depressing and confusing.” – Photoplay Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Captain January (1924) 79% EDIT “There are times when the little star with the shoe button eyes seems a bit too actory and lacking in spontaneity.” – Photoplay Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin (1918) 100% EDIT “Rupert Julian impersonates this master-villain so successfully that his entrance is greeted with spontaneous hisses. ” – Photoplay Dec 5, 2023 Full Review The Devil Dancer (1927) 71% EDIT “The story in itself is commonplace, but the colorful settings, and the fine direction of Fred Niblo make the picture. The dancing performed by Gilda Gray and a group of ten girls in the picture certainly aids.” – Photoplay Dec 5, 2023 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “All in all, beyond question, here's superb entertainment for the whole family. ” – Photoplay Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Bringing Up Baby (1938) 97% EDIT “It is so funny, from first to last reel, that you will ache with laughter.” – Photoplay Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Weddings and Babies (1958) 92% EDIT “It’s the photography -- never slick or flattering -- that brings us close to these people, to see how human beings can be funny and sad, lovable and irritating, all at once.” – Photoplay Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Grand Hotel (1932) 85% EDIT “You may argue about who deserves the most praise and not get anywhere, for the picture, as a whole, steals the show. It is produced on a scale of grandeur that the stage couldn't touch.” – Photoplay Jun 6, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “The story... is necessarily slow in tempo, but absorbing, and helps to make logical the melodramatic events.” – Photoplay Apr 24, 2023 Full Review The Black Pirate (1926) 100% EDIT “The plot? What do you care about that? It's all about pirates, with Doug, single-handed, capturing a huge galleon to prove he's a good pirate himself. Imagine that!” – Photoplay Mar 22, 2023 Full Review The Devil Horse (1926) 100% EDIT “The entire picture is thrilling. The human characters are perfect in their roles, but the laurel wreath rests easily on the tousled head of Rex.” – Photoplay Mar 21, 2023 Full Review The Girl in the Rain (1920) 80% EDIT “Crook melodrama pleasantly sweetened with a large lump of romance.” – Photoplay Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “If you like mystery and spooky pictures, here's your meat. It's strong stuff, and not for faint-hearted folks. ” – Photoplay Jan 13, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% EDIT “Bright as a silver dollar, gay as a Christmas tree and funnier than a cageful of monkeys is this latest Preston Sturges story. Both written and directed by him, it fairly oozes freshness and charm. ” – Photoplay Dec 29, 2022 Full Review
