Casablanca
Perfect 73 Points 1942

The best movie ever is still fresh, funny, romantic and captivating after all these decades. Try it as a date movie, perfect for him and for her. After all, “we’ll always have Paris.”

Casablanca remains important because it transcendently dealt with life-and-death political challenges, nam…

Café Society
Really Great 17 Points 2016

Jessie Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in this unmistakably Woody Allen movie. So good in fact, that they channeled Woody and Diane Keaton in the setting of 1930’s Hollywood. The blend of Bronx Jewishness amongst Hollywood glitz is a combination that made for some great character shticks… great…

Bushi no ichibun
Good 1 Points 2006

This movie was presented to me as a samurai movie. Let me be clear…it is NOT a samurai movie. It is basically a love story. A samurai becomes blind in his duty to the lordship. Now he must figure out how he will be able to maintain his life. His wife is pushed by his family to make some qu…

Bus Stop
Good 66 Points 1956

Marilyn Monroe rescues Bus Stop, as she rescued so many of her movies, her luminescent sexuality juxtaposed against an American society inchoately besotted with her. True fans can’t avert their eyes.

To be clear, Bus Stop is a cheesy time-capsule, a Fifties classic capable of making "Alan…

Bulletproof Heart
Very Good 66 Points 1994

Bulletproof Heart is a stylishly assembled collection of cliches. There’s not enough star power in Beverly Hills to overcome its just OK screenplay, but Anthony LaPaglia & Mimi Rogers give it the old Hollywood try nonetheless. She’s tremendous as a foxy femme fatale who is sure of what she wa…

Bull Durham
Great 66 Points 1988

Bull Durham set a new standard for sports movies. Jocks on screen had never been this smart, this sexy, this suave. It’s also a classic Susan Sarandon liberated-woman picture, here a JuCo English teacher with a thing for baseball players. She’s pretty and they’re dumb, until she runs into Kevin…

Brooklyn
Great 17 Points 2015

You know the phrase “They just don’t make ’em like this any more”? That about sums up my feelings about Brooklyn. No big twists, no major action, just a great story. Follow Ellis (Saoirse Ronan) as she follows her sister’s wishes and moves from Ireland to Brooklyn to start a new life. This was …
