The Dark Angel (1935)

EDIT
“A sentimental drama of the war, handsomely produced and robbed of its shameless tear-jerking by the polished acting of the stars. ” –

Frankenstein (1931)

EDIT
“Boris Karloff, in his characterization of the man monster, is fearsomely impressive, and his makeup is perfect. ” –

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
97%
EDIT
“[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs] is all that advance publicity said it would be -- and more. As film entertainment it is as refreshing as a cool breeze in summer and as welcome as a pay increase.” –

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
97%
EDIT
“Although perhaps over-laden with Americana for Australian consumption, this latest Frank Capra offering is interesting for the manner in which it satirises that holy of holies -- the American Senate.” –

The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

EDIT

How Green Was My Valley (1941)
93%
EDIT
“There are no starring roles; no formal plot. The action flows from one episode to another, smoothly, and with enough romance to fill three ordinary pictures.” –

Modern Times (1936)
98%
EDIT
“We may laugh heartily at the spectacle of the little funny man at work in the huge steel plant... but behind our laughter we are sorry for him. That is Chaplin's genius. Laughter is close to tears.” –

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
98%
EDIT
“A colourful mixture of childish fantasy and adult satire and humour of a kind thatnever seems to grow old, The Wizard of Oz, looks like duplicating the success achieved by Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” –

EDIT
“Joan Fontaine, as the shy and unsophisticated second Mrs. de Winter, gives a beautiful performance of amazing subtlety. Hers is an unforgettable portrait.” –

Paris (1929)
92%
EDIT
“The picture is packed with spectacular scenes, a number of which are in colour, while the many beautiful gowns worn by the feminine members of the cast and a beauty ballet of 200 help to make Paris, for beauty premier talking productions yet.” –

EDIT
“Admittedly, the Monster has his spine-chilling moments... but he still looks heavily wooden enough to be harmless to anyone with a good pair of running shoes.” –
