A Cab for Three (2001)

Ted Shen

Tomato

Cabaret (1972)

"Whatever this 1972 feature is, it's entertaining and stylish, though maybe not quite as serious as it wants to be."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Cabeza De Vaca (1993)

Cabin in the Sky (1943)

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919)

"This is more than just a textbook classic; the narrative frame creates ambiguities that hold certain elements of the story in disturbing suspension. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Cabiria (1914)

"Giovanni Pastrone's 1914 film is one of several early Italian epics that significantly influenced the form and flow of the feature film, then in its developmental infancy."

Pat Graham

Tomato

The Cable Guy (1996)

"It's a fairly interesting effort -- much more ambitious than most Carrey vehicles."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato
4/4

Caché (2005)

"Caché is about how the way we look at people -- a spouse, a child, a homeless person, a security guard -- reflects our own humanity, exactly the sort of thing the best works of cinematic art aspire to reveal."

Kevin Lee

-

Cactus (1986)

Pat Graham

-

Cactus Flower (1969)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

Caddyshack (1980)

"The first-time director, Harold Ramis, can't hold it together: the picture lurches from style to style (including some ill-placed whimsy with a gopher puppet) and collapses somewhere between sitcom and sketch farce."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Cadillac Records (2008)

"The electrifying music helps camouflage the screenplay's hyperbole."

Andrea Gronvall

-

Caesar's Park (2000)

Cafe Flesh (1982)

Dave Kehr

Cafe Lumiere (2004)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The Caged Heart (1985)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

Caged Heat (1974)

"Jonathan Demme's debut film is campy, choppy, and generally immature, though his bonding themes are fitfully discernible amid the cartoonish action."

Dave Kehr

Splat

The Caine Mutiny (1954)

"Despite a few flashes of talent in the 40s, Edward Dmytryk had descended to hack status by the time he filmed this 1954 version of Herman Wouk's novel."

Dave Kehr

-

Cal (1984)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato

California Split (1974)

"Robert Altman's masterful 1974 study of the psychology of the compulsive gambler."

Don Druker

Splat

California Suite (1978)

"Means middle-class angst covered with a thin veneer of snappy one-liners and presented in the most anonymous directorial style imaginable."

Dave Kehr

-

Call Me (1988)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Callas Forever (2004)

"Despite a faintly campy script by Martin Sherman, Zeffirelli captures the artistic imperative that drives both characters -- and deepens their loneliness."

Ted Shen

Tomato

Camera Buff (1979)

"Suffused with Kieslowski's dry wit and intelligence, this early feature provides an excellent introduction to his work."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

The Cameraman (1928)

Cameron's Closet (1987)

Camille Claudel (1989)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006)

"[Director Frank] Popper sticks close to the fierce campaigner and his young, mostly inexperienced staffers, capturing all the energy, idealism, dour humor, and unreasoning hope of a Cinderella candidacy."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Can't Hardly Wait (1998)

"It's not supposed to be a revelation--just a pleasant rendition of a teen-comedy trope."

Lisa Alspector

Splat

Candy (2006)

"Unfortunately too many elements of this Australian feature have been recycled from other addiction stories..."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Candy Mountain (1987)

"Ambling along like a wry, laid-back "Heart of Darkness," this likable and touching film makes good use of Frank's remarkable photographic eye and Wurlitzer's witty, acerbic, and quasi-mystical handling of myth that has served him well in his novels."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Candyman (1992)

"Like so many post-Val Lewton horror films, this 1992 feature starts out promisingly while the plot is mainly a matter of suggestion, but gradually turns gross and obvious as the meanings become literal and unambiguous."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Cannery Row (1982)

-

Canoa (1975)

Ted Shen

Splat

El Cantante (2007)

"Marc Anthony plays the smack-addicted singer, who has some dynamite numbers but not much to say for himself."

J. R. Jones

-

A Canterbury Tale (1944)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

The Canterbury Tales (1971)

"If Pasolini had something more than grubby fantasy on his mind -- and presumably he did -- it isn't immediately apparent."

Dave Kehr

-

The Canterville Ghost (1944)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

"Like most of his movies, this will probably make your blood boil, but it functions at a level of such blubbering emotionality that it might as well be a Glenn Beck rant."

J. R. Jones

Tomato
3/4

Capote (2005)

"Skillfully and economically put together."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Captains Courageous (1937)

-

Captive Wild Woman (1943)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Captivity (2007)

"It's not scary because not one second is believable."

Andrea Gronvall

Tomato
4/4

Capturing the Friedmans (2003)

"As an investigation into the psychology and processes of witch-hunts, Capturing the Friedmans is one of the most valuable film documents we've had since Carl Dreyer's 1943 Day of Wrath."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Car (1977)

"As silly as it sounds, but strangely dull."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Car Wash (1976)

"Critics seemed to like this less than audiences; personally, I had a ball."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Les Carabiniers (1963)

"Jean-Luc Godard set out in 1963 to deliberately make a war film that would be neither dramatically involving nor formally compelling -- and he succeeded so brilliantly that the film was seen as a disaster."

Don Druker

Tomato

Caramel (2008)

"Labaki elicits expressive performances from a cast of amateurs, aided by Khalad Mouzanar's entrancing score and Yves Sehnaoui's lush cinematography."

Andrea Gronvall
