A Nous La Liberte (1931) |
|
"A period piece in the best sense." | |
Jonathan Rosenbaum | |

4/4 |
|
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"An ambitious animated adaptation of one of the most personal novels by sci-fi visionary Philip K. Dick." | |

4/4 |
|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"The most philosophical film in Kubrick's canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg's, and quite possibly the film with the most contemporary relevance that either one has made since Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove in 1964." | |
Jonathan Rosenbaum | |

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
" Katharina Otto-Bernstein's documentary provides an excellent introduction to the singular vision of avant-garde stage director Robert Wilson." | |
Jonathan Rosenbaum | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Abyss (1989) |
|
"The attempt to extract the essences of several genres (cold-war submarine thriller, love story, Disney fantasy, pseudomystical SF in the Spielberg mode) and mix them together ultimately leads to giddy incoherence." | |
Jonathan Rosenbaum | |
|
|
|
| |

|
Accattone (1961) |
|
"The brutality and frigid despair of this 1962 film have had a lasting impact on political filmmaking." | |
Dave Kehr | |

|
Accepted (2006) |
|
"Sublimely stupid, this collegiate farce plays like a cross between Animal House and Ferris Bueller's Day Off." | |
J. R. Jones | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Ace in the Hole (1951) |
|
"This 1951 film, about a cynical reporter who seizes on the plight of a man trapped in a mine shaft to promote his career, is cold, lurid, and fascinating, propelled by the same combination of moral outrage and sneaky admiration." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

|
Adam's Rib (1949) |
|
"The film is a classic, and deservedly so: the conjunction of Tracy's sly listlessness and Hepburn's stridency defines 'chemistry' in the movies." | |

The Addams Family (1991) |

|
Addams Family Values (1993) |
|
"The comedy has moved into high gear and become one of the funniest, most mean-spirited satirical assaults on sunny American values since the salad days of W.C. Fields." | |

The African Queen (1951) |
|
"The direction is often questionable, but the screenplay (by James Agee, John Collier, Huston, and Peter Viertel from C.S. Forester's novel) is a model of tight construction." | |

After Hours (1985) |

"Scorsese's orchestration of thematic development, narrative structure, and visual style is stunning in its detail and fullness; this 1985 feature reestablished him as one of the very few contemporary masters of filmmaking." | |

After The Wedding (2007) |

"As the premise might suggest, Jensen's dramatic structure is so visible this sometimes seems like a late Rod Serling teleplay, but Bier has proved highly adept at merging conventional drama with the immediacy of the Dogma 95 movement." | |
