3.5/5
     (1986)      "You can see the birth of such popular forensics shows as CSI in this film's blend of the police procedural and the horror film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "Had it been more interested in informing us than in telling a cute story, I wouldn't have been left disappointed in all of the questions it didn't answer." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

1.5/5
     (2000)      "The film just doesn't offer anything new to the genre, so why bother making it?" [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1948)      "[Grant] has perfect comic timing and an amazing ability to contort his body in hilarious bits of physical comedy." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5
     (1936)      "It will give you some hilarious examples of Chaplin's physical comedy and superb grace." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "Don't be fooled by the packaging: at the heart of it, it's a pedestrian detective thriller that doesn't have much going for it in terms of originality." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

3/5
     (2002)      "[Silberling] mostly succeeded in crafting an off-beat, uncomfortable (but in all the right ways), and genuinely funny and moving story out of this Movie of the Week material." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1943)      "The film is best at the beginning." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (2001)      "The musical numbers take you to a place you've never been, the dialog reminds you that Luhrmann doesn't have anything new to say -- just a new way of sticking it together." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1952)      "A beautifully shot, measured movie that never really builds up enough sympathy for Lautrec to really move viewers." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "The movie is best when it's about a married couple who inhabit action movies for a living, and falters when it wants to be an action movie itself." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1953)      "An often hilarious, often slow, and thoroughly odd film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1997)      "So caught up in being reserved and proper that [it] fails to show us any emotion at all." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

4/5
     (1979)      "A great movie to watch when you want to feel like a kid again, which is why it is such a cult favorite." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies
