Fresh	Fresh 100%	Chinatown (1974)	" *Roman Polanski's American made film, first since Rosemary's Baby* shows him again in total command of talent and physical filmmaking elements.**" Posted Mar 27, 2009
—	Fresh 90%	Shaft (1971)	Click here to read article Posted Mar 26, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 89%	Saturday Night Fever (1977)	" Travolta's characterization, given the script and directorial demands, is okay. It will please the already-committed; but it won't win him any new fans." Posted Mar 5, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Rocky (1976)	" There are occasional flashes that the film may be patronizing the lower end of the blue-collar mentality, as much if not more than the characters who keep putting Rocky down on the screen. However, Avildsen is noted for creating such ambiguities." Posted Feb 20, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 91%	The Sting (1973)	" Extremely handsome production values and a great supporting cast round out the virtues." Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 96%	In the Heat of the Night (1967)	" *An excellent Sidney Poitier performance, and an outstanding one by Rod Steiger, overcome some noteworthy flaws to make In The Heat of the Night* an absorbing contemporary murder drama.**" Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Star Wars (1977)	" A magnificent film. George Lucas set out to make the biggest possible adventure fantasy out of his memories of serials and older action epics, and he succeeded brilliantly." Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 96%	One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)	" Jack Nicholson stars in an outstanding characterization of Ken Kesey's asylum anti-hero, McMurphy, and Milos Forman's direction of a superbly-cast film is equally meritorious." Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 98%	The Godfather Part II (1974)	" The Paramount release has everything going for it." Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	The Godfather (1972)	" The biggest achievement here is the establishment of mood and time." Posted Jan 29, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 85%	A Man for All Seasons (1966)	" *Producer-director Fred Zinnemann has blended all filmmaking elements into an excellent, handsome and stirring film version of A Man For All Seasons.*" Posted Jan 29, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Doctor Zhivago (1965)	" One of the most meticulously designed and executed films." Posted Aug 13, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 97%	American Graffiti (1973)	" There is brilliant interplaying and underplaying, of script, performers and direction which will raise howls of laughter from audiences, yet never descends on the screen to overdone mugging, pratfall and other heavy-handed devices normally employed." Posted Jun 27, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Jaws (1975)	" The fast-moving 124-minute film engenders enormous suspense as the shark attacks a succession of people." Posted Jun 27, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 89%	THX 1138 (1971)	" With political paternalism rampant at both extremes of the spectrum, Lucas is onto something. In any case, we'll know for sure in about a generation." Posted Jun 5, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 95%	Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)	" A daring film concept which in its special and technical effects has been superbly realized." Posted Jun 5, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 91%	A Clockwork Orange (1971)	" Stanley Kubrick's latest film takes the heavy realities of the 'do-your-thing' and 'law-and-order' syndromes, runs them through a cinematic centrifuge, and spews forth the commingled comic horrors of a regulated society." Posted May 8, 2007
—	Fresh 90%	Network (1976)	" This is a bawdy, stops-out, no-holds-barred story of a TV network that will, quite literally, do anything to get an audience." Posted Feb 13, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? (1967)	" Examines its subject matter with perception, depth, insight, humor and feeling" Posted Feb 13, 2001
