3.5/5	"Who can resist a movie where the girl's father provides his daughter with a getaway car from her own wedding?" Posted Dec 6, 2005	It Happened One Night (1934)	97%
3/5	"I don't think anyone really cares about the fact that this was intended to be a cunning class satire with a capital C, but it's got big stars, they say cool things, they look good, it's funny, and the right guy gets the right girl in amusing fashion." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Philadelphia Story (1940)	100%
4/5	"Lester's anarchic absurdity and quick cut camera gags make for a pretty good whole." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Beatles - Help! (1965)	90%
4/5	"People like to say that Dean was nothing but a Marlon Brando imitation, but Marlon never looked this young, this perfect." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Rebel Without a Cause (1955)	95%
4.5/5	"An effective comedy, an interesting bedtime tale, and one of the greatest date rentals of all time." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Princess Bride (1987)	95%
4/5	"The Breakfast Club was teen-auteur John Hughes' attempt to take a step back and evaluate the large horde of teens our schools turn out and how they desperately search for identity." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Breakfast Club (1984)	90%
4/5	"*Sex Wars mid-century style. Adam's Rib* can't help but look a bit dated, but it sure is a perfect encapsulation of a certain type of couple at a certain time.*" Posted Dec 6, 2005*	Adam's Rib (1949)	100%
3/5	"It seems pretty prescient about violence, corporations, and TV." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Rollerball (1975)	68%
4/5	"It remains the best example of the most different of men competing fairly and getting along peacefully ever filmed." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Brian's Song (1971)	91%
4/5	"...the ultimate nostalgia movie of all time ..." Posted Dec 6, 2005	American Graffiti (1973)	97%
5/5	"I am never not amused by the Blues Brothers." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Blues Brothers (1980)	78%
5/5	"An amazing black satire filled with vicious biting words that snap like firecrackers." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Heathers (1989)	94%
4.5/5	"What could be a better way to spend two hours?" Posted Dec 6, 2005	East of Eden (1955)	86%
5/5	"It makes the Hood seem worse than Vietnam." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Menace II Society (1993)	86%
3/5	"The first effort by writer/director John Hughes on his way to becoming the William Shakespeare of teenage angst. One really has to be aware of the climate of the early '80s to truly understand the impact that this film had among teens." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Sixteen Candles (1984)	90%
3.5/5	"Wall Street is Stone's snarling condemnation of the Go-Go junk bond king buy 'em, break 'em, and sell off the parts '80s." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Wall Street (1987)	80%

5/5	"Only top ranked episodes of the Jerry Springer show provide more laughs and surprises from two con men made up to look like women." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Some Like It Hot (1959)	97%
4/5	"The music, done here by a group of grunge all-stars, doesn't even attempt to sound dead-on, but remains mostly true to the raucous spirit of the time." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Backbeat (1994)	74%

4/5	"Ridley Scott does a pretty good job of showing how much cooler it is to be an outlaw than a waitress or a harried wife." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Thelma & Louise (1991)	90%
5/5	"A towering achievement in cinema, music, and life art. Funnier and more prescient every time I see it. Any time they tour I will be there." Posted Dec 6, 2005	This Is Spinal Tap (1984)	96%
4/5	"An amusing look at the early days of the gangsta rappers." Posted Dec 6, 2005	CB4 (1993)	63%
4/5	"Even the harshest critic has to recognize the sheer unbridled joy of their ignorance." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)	71%
4/5	"Because Eddie doesn't have to carry the whole movie, he is free to make every word that comes out of his mouth infinitely appealing." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Trading Places (1983)	91%
4/5	"Revenge doesn't do much for your claims to nobility, but more often than not it makes for some pretty good stories and lots of guilty pleasure." Posted Jan 23, 2003	High Plains Drifter (1973)	100%

2.5/5	"This movie is two hours of Jones acting badly and Wuhl looking drawn." Posted Dec 8, 2002	Cobb (1994)	67%

4/5	"The thing I like about Cary Grant in these movies was how utterly sure and pleased with himself he was. His screen characters always knew the working of the world." Posted Dec 8, 2002	His Girl Friday (1940)	97%
5/5	"The silliest movie ever made." Posted Dec 8, 2002	Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)	94%
4/5	"*If you get half of the jokes flung your way, and laugh at half of those you're still in much better shape than the very best episode of Three's Company." Posted Dec 8, 2002*	Airplane! (1980)	100%
