Tomato 3/5 |
Gabriel Over the White House (1933) |
"A most interesting fantasy, dated and quaint by today's standards, but most interesting for its time. The idea of a president warring on the underworld and executing criminals has some appeal." |
|
Gangs of New York (2002) |
|||
Garden State (2004) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |
Gargoyles (1972) |
"OK TV movie of the week. Nothing too special here." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
The General (1927) |
"One of the greatest comedies ever produced. It is Keaton at his inventive best." |
|
Get Smart (2008) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
The Getaway (1972) |
"A tough crime drama with a steely McQueen performance and the usual quota of Peckinpah violence." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghost (1990) |
"A touching supernatural romance, highlighted by Whoopi Goldberg's comic Oscar-winning support." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) |

|
Ghost Ship (2002) |
|||
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"Using small robot cameras, Cameron brings the ship to life, recalling its power and splendor. " |
||
Splat 1/5 |
The Giant Gila Monster (1959) |

|
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Glory (1989) |
"A touching burst of patriotism; with wonderful performances by Washington and Broderick. A film worthy of remembering and repeated viewing." |
|
Glory Road (2006) |
"What is difficult to ascertain about Glory Road is where fact ends and fiction begins." |
||
Tomato 3/5 |
The Godfather Part III (1990) |
"Not up to par with the first two, but still interesting because of Pacino." |
|
Gods and Generals (2003) |
"(Gods and Generals) is as dry as a history lecture, as distant as the Peloponnesian War." |
||
Tomato 4/5 |
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) |

|
The Gold Rush (1925) |
|||
The Golden Compass (2007) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Goldfinger (1964) |
"Best of the Bonds! Connery is Aces; Odd Job a great villain's henchman; Goldfinger an evil giant of a man; and Pussy Galore, what more can one say!" |

|||
The Good Girl (2002) |
|||
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |

|
Gosford Park (2001) |
|||
The Gospel of John (2003) |
|||
Grand Slam DVD Giftset (1942) |
"... Here’s a quartet of cinematic all-stars sure to please any baseball fan. " |

|||
The Great Escape (1963) |

|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Great McGinty (1940) |
"A classic, cynical comedy about politics and corruption; still pertinent today." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Great Race (1965) |
"Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk save this overblown comedy that tries too hard to be too slapstick." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Great Ziegfeld (1936) |
"Overlong, cliched bio-pic, not really worthy of its best picture Oscar." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) |
"One of the most boring movies ever made; if Jesus was a wooden in life as he is in this movie, he would not have attracted one disciple." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |

||
Tomato 3/5 |
"An earnest liberal outing that today seems passive, tame and condescending, but still watchable because of the performances of Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier." |
