Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “The Hollywood "Alice" is neither pure Lewis Carroll nor pure Walt Disney, but an unimaginative combination of both. ” – New York Daily News Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “As an honest, purposeful drama of juvenile hardness and violence, the film just doesn't measure up. ” – New York Daily News Oct 22, 2025 Full Review The War of the Worlds (1953) 89% 3/4 EDIT “One of those stunt pictures with a curiosity appeal. But thank heavens they are few and far between. Produced by George Pal, this one is well made, and capably directed by Byron Haskin.” – New York Daily News Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Gold Rush (1925) 98% 4/4 EDIT “An enchanting picture, just the thing we need these days to take us out of this world into a nicer land of make-believe.” – New York Daily News Jun 24, 2025 Full Review The Model and the Marriage Broker (1952) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “In "The Model and the Marriage Broker, 20th Century-Fox has given Thelma Ritter her biggest and best role, a comedy role faintly touched with pathos, and the popular comedienne is even funnier than you expect.” – New York Daily News Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Jailhouse Rock (1957) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “Elvis is a better screen performer in his new film, Jailhouse Rock, but not enough.” – New York Daily News Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) 67% EDIT “The manner in which the film is presented is the most interesting thing about it. It is one of those Flashback pictures, and the director, Phil Goldstone, has used the same technique that was used in the Fox Production, The Power and the Glory. Narratage.” – New York Daily News Feb 21, 2024 Full Review The Lone Ranger (1956) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The new movie starring the masked rider who has given kids of the country, and some grownup kids, so much pleasure for so long a time... is a pretty good western, better than I expected.” – New York Daily News Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Fiddler on the Roof (1971) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Fiddler on the Roof, stunning, joyful, jubilant and emotion stirring, is an artistic triumph for Norman Jewison. ” – New York Daily News May 17, 2023 Full Review Flower Drum Song (1961) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “With movie musicals a rarity today, Ross Hunter contributed one of beauty and charm that fulfills the need...” – New York Daily News Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Spirit of Youth (1937) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “It is the star who counts. He goes through his paces modestly and in a businesslike way... Among his supporting players are Clarence Muse, Mae Turner and Mantan Moreland, seasoned players who know their way around a movie lot.” – New York Daily News Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Stalag 17 (1953) 91% 4/4 EDIT “Wilder has turned the original into a highly satisfactory film which we can all cheer for general excellence.” – New York Daily News Nov 5, 2022 Full Review A Study in Scarlet (1933) 93% EDIT “Your thirst for Sherlock Holmes and bloody murders will be thoroughly quenched. ” – New York Daily News Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Limehouse Blues (1934) 23% 2/5 EDIT “There is about it hardly any single item that is new or original.” – New York Daily News Oct 20, 2022 Full Review I Walked With a Zombie (1943) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's good "escape" stuff, this RKO Radio production... A most dramatic beginning is offset by the confusion in the ending, but it will still give you the creeps, pretty nearly all the way through. ” – New York Daily News Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Andy Warhol's Trash (1970) 80% 0/4 EDIT “I've seen people walk out on less lurid depravity. ” – New York Daily News Sep 21, 2022 Full Review La Strada (1954) 98% 4/4 EDIT “It is a very fine drama, the finest from Italy in a long time, by far the best foreign film released here this year.” – New York Daily News Sep 14, 2022 Full Review A Raisin in the Sun (1961) 90% 4/4 EDIT “First things first. Sidney Poitier is one of the true artists of our time.” – New York Daily News Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Buck and the Preacher (1972) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Poitier has done a good job in two positions, director and co-star with Harry Belafonte, playing the title roles, Buck and the Preacher, a pair as different as apple pie and ice cream, but a combination that mixes well.” – New York Daily News May 27, 2022 Full Review Barefoot in the Park (1967) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Gene Saks, an excellent comedy director, is skilled and imaginative, and his players are responsive to his suggestions for getting the most from humorous lines and situations.” – New York Daily News May 2, 2022 Full Review Porgy and Bess (1959) 71% 4/4 EDIT “The backbone of this opera is the beautiful, inspiring music with which most of us are familiar. Next in importance is Sidney Poitier's portrayal of Porgy... This performance is the shining light of the film.” – New York Daily News Jan 20, 2022 Full Review The Sandpiper (1965) 21% 3/4 EDIT “As Mr. and Mrs., Elizabeth and Richard take full advantage of the opportunity to scorch the screen with torrid lovemaking, the first chance they've had to indulge in such cinematic intimacy.” – New York Daily News Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Leave Her to Heaven (1945) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “Director Stahl has certainly made the most out of the book and done well directing the young players.” – New York Daily News Sep 29, 2021 Full Review The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Viewers who can get into the mood can actually believe that they are watching a six-footer gradually shrink to one inch in height -- without being aware that the sets are getting bigger and bigger.” – New York Daily News Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Last Embrace (1979) 58% 1/4 EDIT “A movie so blatantly anti-Semitic and so ludicrous it should have been quietly shelved or better still, completely destroyed before it caused any more embarrassment.” – New York Daily News Sep 24, 2021 Full Review
