Tomato
4.5/5

L'Age D'Or (1930)

"Love it, hate it or be merely baffled by it, you'll finally admit that there's really nothing like it in the history of film."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

L'Avventura (1960)

"Objectively, this is an important film -- maybe even close to a great film."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

La Cage Aux Folles (1978)

"How The Birdcage ought to be done and first was done."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

La Chevre (1982)

"Veber's breakthrough, thanks to the inspired teaming of Richard and Depardieu -- and a brilliantly simple concept that doesn't stand up to (or ask for) very much scrutiny. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

La Dolce Vita (1960)

"Richly detailed, provocative and more than a little disconcerting, it represents a major filmmaker on the verge of his complete power."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

La Ronde (1950)

"Elegant and lighter than air, La Ronde is a delightful treat."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

La Vie En Rose (2007)

"Filmmaker Olivier Dahan has created many scenes that are quite simply astonishing, and occasionally magical."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Ladder 49 (2004)

"I don't know when I've seen a movie so completely smug in its belief that its audience is on a par with Pavlov's dogs. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Ladies in Lavender (2005)

"There's something irresistibly admirable about Dance's decision to make a film based on a short story by a long-out-of-favor writer like William J. Locke."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Ladies Man (1961)

"Nicely mounted, interestingly done, but typically unfunny Lewis."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Lady Eve (1941)

"Scintillating Preston Sturges comedy."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Lady for a Day (1933)

"Early Capra that sometimes misses, but more often hits."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Lady Frankenstein (1972)

"Jaw-droppingly awful -- mesmerizingly so. Poor Joe Cotten."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Lady from Shanghai (1948)

"Great sequences, but not entirely successful."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Lady in a Cage (1963)

"Utterly vile thriller with unpleasant characters."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Lady in the Lake (1946)

"Flawed but brilliant experiment by Montgomery using a subjective camera. Extraordinary musical track, too."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Lady in the Water (2006)

"I'm inclined to think that we're seeing the expression of an artist who knows he has something to say, but hasn't been able to quite come to terms with what that something is"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Lady in White (1988)

"Surprisingly effective little ghost story."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Lady Vanishes (1938)

"One of Hitch's best from his rich British period"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Ladykillers (1955)

"The best of the Ealing comedies."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Ladykillers (2004)

"The Coens' take on this material is a happy blend of respecting the original and leapfrogging from it with their own inimitable creativity."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Lair of the White Worm (1988)

"Outrageous Ken Russell horror spoof. Not his best, but still very good"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The Lake House (2006)

"Good, but put simply, any romance that doesn't make at least one successful major assault on your tear ducts is one handkerchief shy of great romance. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Land of the Lost (2009)

"The ideal viewer would be, I guess, a 5-year-old who still thinks dinosaurs and urine jokes are cool, but realizes they pale in comparison with breasts and gropings."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

"Saying that The Cradle of Life is better than the original is on par with saying that sudden painless death is preferable to expiring by a long and painful disease."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)

"The very existence of Larry the Cable Guy would seem like a pretty good argument against the concept of Intelligent Design."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Lars And The Real Girl (2007)

"The truth is that it works more often than it doesn't -- thanks in no small part to the central performances of Gosling, Mortimer, Schneider, Clarkson and Garner."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

"A great film? By no means. But if you take it as the pleasant -- and blessedly non-shrill -- romance it is, there's a good bit to like."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Last Command (1928)

"A true classic of silent film from Sternberg."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Last Holiday (1950)

"It's funny, touching, perceptive and one of the great undiscovered movies. Discover it."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Last Holiday (2006)

"While nowhere near the quality of the Alec Guinness/J.B. Priestley original, this isn't an outright travesty."

Ken Hanke

Splat
0/5

Last House on the Left (1972)

"I can't decide whether the film is more distasteful or more inept"

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

The Last House on the Left (2009)

"Manages at once to be unpleasant and tedious."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

"Forest Whitaker's portrayal of the blood-soaked Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in Kevin McDonald's The Last King of Scotland is mesmerizingly brilliant"

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

The Last Kiss (2006)

"Angst-driven whine-fest of a movie about a lot of shallow, unlikable characters."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Last Laugh (1924)

"Still lives up to its legend and upholds the legend of Murnau"

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Last Legion (2007)

"Lots budgetary-challenged battles of the largely bloodless PG-13 stripe with folks in smelly looking leather suits and crepe hair clanging swords and saying 'Arrgh' a lot."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Last Life in the Universe (2004)

"One fascinating -- if not wholly accessible -- movie."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

"Flawed, but nicely grim sci-fi horror with a miscast Price"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

The Last Mimzy (2007)

"Four credited writers haven't helped matters by moving the story forward in time and trend to turn it into a kind of What the Mimzy Do We Know? affair."

Ken Hanke

Tomato

Last Orders (2002)

"Schepisi has never made a better film, and if he never makes one anywhere nearly this good again, this more than justifies the occasional clinker in his filmography."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Last Samurai (2003)

"Proves the truth of Mr. Gilbert's lyrics about people who wouldn't be missed, and includes persons who praise 'every century but this one, and every country but their own.' "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Last Stop For Paul (2008)

"What it lacks in polish it tends to make up in high spirits and good humor."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Last Supper (1995)

"Great premise. Lousy movie."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Last Tango in Paris (1972)

"Even with butter it's a bore"

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Last Unicorn (1982)

"Nearly everyone who waxes rhapsodic over The Last Unicorn starts off noting how they 'grew up' on the film."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The Last Valley (1971)

"An interesting, thoughtful, unusual film -- one that in an allegorical sense has once again become relevant. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Last Wave (1977)

"Its creepiness is undeniable, and it seems far less dated than many late 1970s films."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Laura (1944)

"Classic mystery, notable for its plot and performances"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)

"Funny, but not one of Ealing's best."

Ken Hanke
