Midnight Express
Really Great 17 Points 1978

An intense movie that will raise your heartbeat and keep it there through the film. I’ve never been a smuggler — but the heart-pounding sequence at the beginning of the movie really get to me. The brutality and craziness of the Turkish prison experience dropped my jaw and kept it there for pret…

Serpico
Great 79 Points 1973

This early Al Pacino classic holds up well, especially as a prototype for the bevy of counterculture hero and realistic cop movies that followed.

Highly recommended for cop movie fans, Pacino fans and those interested in 60s counterculture.

Bonnie and Clyde
Very Good 66 Points 1967

Legendary movie about legendary bank robbers fails to live up to its legend. Over-the-top performances and violence that is far from the current cutting-edge make Bonnie and Clyde somewhat of a museum piece. That said, with star power and style points to spare, the movie is worth watching for…

Andrei Rublev
OK 5 Points 1966

Considered by many to be one of the best films ever made, Andrei Rublev is a sweeping epic about a 15th Century Russian priest by that name who was known for his religious icon paintings. Filmed by the legendary Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, it is a massive 220 minute story, broken into di…
