    Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)

    " The fantasy is earthbound, the score by Richard and Robert Sherman (who also wrote music and lyrics for Mary Poppins) is forgettable, the special effects lackadaisical."

    The Land That Time Forgot (1975)

    " Instant second childhood is guaranteed in less than 90 minutes."

    Play Misty for Me (1971)

    " Eastwood displays a vigorous talent for sequences of violence and tension. He has obviously seen Psycho and Repulsion more than once, but those are excellent texts and he has learned his lessons passing well."

    Klute (1971)

    " [Fonda] makes all the right choices, from the mechanics of her walk and her voice inflection to the penetration of the girl's raging psyche. It is a rare performance."

    Amarcord (1974)

    " Fellini is so bountiful with incident and observation that he makes most other film makers seem stingy."

    The French Connection (1971)

    " A knockout police thriller with so much jarring excitement that it almost calls for comic-book expletives. POW! ZOWIE!"

    Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

    " Bond looks better than ever, partly because Sean Connery has returned to play him."

    The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

    " The best Bonds, like the car that twirls, were sly without quite getting silly. The best Bonds also had Sean Connery, whose absence is sorely felt here."

    The Sting (1973)

    " Newman and Redford pass a few facial expressions between them and try to cool each other out. If there ever was much of a script, it can be said to have gone to waste."

    Akira (1988)

    " The movie, even at 124 minutes, has the densely packed sweep and go-for-it pep of a pop epic."

    Heavy Traffic (1973)

    " Heavy Traffic not only has an authentic tenement toughness but the rough feeling of unassimilated autobiography, of experiences and fantasies still keenly felt."

    The Exorcist (1973)

    " Friedkin and Blatty seem to care nothing for their characters as people, only as victims—props to be abused, hurled about the room, beaten and, in one case, brutally murdered."

    Cabaret (1972)

    " Bob Fosse's direction is as chaotic as it was in his previous Sweet Charity, a desperate scramble after a style."

    Rollerball (1975)

    " James Caan, on roller skates, is trying to save the world. This needs a bit of explaining, which is only the beginning of the trouble with Rollerball."

    The Bad News Bears (1976)

    " Surprisingly, improbably, The Bad News Bears is the year's funniest movie."

    Face to Face (1976)

    " This is a strange, stormy period for Ingmar Bergman."
