Jacob's Ladder (1990) |
"Unfairly dismissed on its original release, this really deserves to be better known: the ultimate example of bad-trip mainstream cinema." |

James and the Giant Peach (1996) |
"This irresistibly mad plot and the superb animation is only slightly let down by some of Randy Newman's more forgettable compositions." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Comfortable if unchallenging, watching this gentle, female-oriented film is a bit like curling up in bed with a book whose ending you already know. No alarms and no surprises." |

Jar City (2008) |
"A cold case in a cold place - Iceland's chilly legacy comes under investigation in this tragic noir." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 5/5 |
Jaws (1975) |
"A classic. Tense, engrossing, scary and, subsequently, endlessly influential." |
|
Tomato |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"A mess, yes, but a funny and highly enjoyable one." |
|
Tomato |
Jazz on a Summer's Day (1958) |
"Stunning documentary account of the 1958 Newport Jazz festival, featuring an incomparable line-up of musicians and lovingly filmed in the idyllic setting of Rhode Island on a beautiful (yes, you guessed it) summer's day." |
|
Tomato |
The Jazz Singer (1927) |
"A landmark: the first sound film in which dialogue and song caught the public's imagination, even though sound had long existed and much of this film is silent." |
|
Splat |
The Jazz Singer (1980) |
"The roughest of Diamonds, this will only interest fans of the singer and those with a passion for poor pictures." |

Tomato 4/5 |
JCVD (2008) |
"A captivating film with a superb understated, genuinely affecting performance from Jean-Claude Van Damme." |
Richard Luck |
Tomato 4/5 |
Je T'aime Moi Non Plus (1976) |
"At once iconic and transgressive, Gainsbourg's queer-eyed view of Americana is trash of the most beautifully bleak kind." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Je Veux Voir (2009) |
"An unconventional yet haunting documentary that shines a strange new light on life in modern Lebanon." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"Jennifer's Body has more to say about the dynamics of teenaged female friendship, sexual power games and the trials of adolescence than many a more self-consciously worthy film." |
Catherine Bray |
Tomato |
Jeremiah Johnson (1972) |
"Pollack and Redford collaborated successfully, their earnestness yielding some handsome, if over indulgent, movies such as this factually based adventure." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Jerk (1979) |
"If only he could have satisfied himself with this area of expertise, people would still talk of Steve Martin as one of the kings of comic cinema." |

Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Flawed editing and intrusive and irritating commentary hardly detract from the shock value of this disturbing documentary. Compulsory viewing for anyone in the least bit concerned about religious extremism." |

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) |
"[A] rather tedious, if flamboyant affair." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jetsam (2008) |
"A skilfully written and deftly controlled thriller that refuses to be bound by budget limitations, Jetsam marks Simon Welsford out as a potentially significant new director." |

Joe (1970) |

Joe's Apartment (1996) |

John and Mary (1969) |
"If the main participants in this drab affair come across so uninspired, it will be hard to find an audience who will care." |
|
Splat 1.5/5 |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"Rarely has a title promised so much, and delivered so little. John Tucker Must Die is toothless, gormless, witless, and, worst of all, deathless." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 4/5 |
John Waters: This Filthy World (2007) |
"At 61-years-old, Waters is growing old in disgraceful fashion. Avid fans will know some of the shtick already but nothing can compare to hearing it from the horse's filthy mouth." |

Johnny Guitar (1954) |
