Lady in the Water (2006)

"It's thin stuff, stretched out to nearly two hours by Shyamalan's faith in his own abilities, but not much else."

The Last Command (1928)

"A fascinating character study of a "great" man who deserves, but doesn't deserve, his bitter end."

Last Night (1998)

"There are moments of transcendant truth and beauty, surrounded by a film that isn't sure what it wants to do or where to go."

The Last Seduction (1995)

"Relentlessly inventive and blackly funny."

Layer Cake (2005)

"It's not a Tarantino-esque self-aware pop-culture sideshow, but it knows its roots and is confident enough to sidestep the rules once in a while."

Legally Blonde (2001)

"An agreeable trifle, a fairy-tale piece of fluff that is nevertheless fun and funny."

The Legend of Drunken Master (1994)

"Among the most breathtakingly wonderful acts of physical endurance and grace that I have ever seen."

The Leopard Man (1943)

"Tourneur ... manages to produce RKO's usual heady layer of ominous atmosphere on a minimal budget, but the script's explanation of the attacks ends up letting him down."

Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948)

"One of Hollywood's, and cinema's, grandest and most emotionally satisfying tales of unrequited love and self-sacrifice."

The Limey (1999)

"What looks like an ordinary revenge tale is livened and improved by Stamp's nuanced performance."

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

Lost in Translation (2003)

"The best film of 2003."

Love Story (1970)

"Sure, it's a shamelessly manipulative film. But it works, because it creates believable, likeable people, and you cry when terrible things happen to people you like."

Love's Labour's Lost (2000)

"Might have worked a little better on stage, and with a few different actors."

Lucie Aubrac (1997)

"The presentation was lackluster and stilted, and despite the fact that it had a good cast and what might have been an interesting premise, it never really moved me."
