Mad Max (1979) |

Made in U.S.A. (1966) |
"Godard fires dozens of ideas at the audience, and switches weapons in mid-stream, but if you only pick up a few ideas along the way, then Made in U.S.A. has succeeded." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) |
"I can't help but be pulled in two directions. One is enthusiastically embracing the film for its beauty, poetry, brilliance, ingenuity, and greatness. The other is mourning the fact that the movie could yet have been still more." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |

The Man (2005) |
"How far must these vets have fallen to endure two farting scenes, a peeing-in-the-pool scene, and repeated use of the phrase, "you're my *****."" |

The Man of the West (1958) |
