Manhattan
Good 5 Points 1979

The beauty of New York City is captured in this comedy/drama from Woody Allen about a middle-aged writer who is rebounding from a bad marriage by dating a 17 year old, while also dating his friend’s mistress. Accented by the use of black and white filming, the movie exposes the duality of our …

The Maltese Falcon
Really Great 7 Points 1941

A film noir twisting and turning and presenting Bogart at the top of his game, The Maltese Falcon is a deservedly classic Hollywood movie packed with subterfuge and manipulation from beginning to end.

Great 66 Points 1934

The Third Man
Good 66 Points 1949

Classic film noir doesn’t necessarily age well, The Third Man a case in point, cool cover notwithstanding. Slow and stilted by contemporary standards, it nonetheless deserves its status as a benchmark of the genre, if not the perfect rating so many give it. Most intriguingly, it would make a …
