Frankenstein (1931) |
If it was simply about a rampaging monster going around killing people, it wouldn't be remembered so well today. Instead, it takes a higher route and actually poses questions about what it means to be a monster. - Three Movie Buffs

The Shop Around the Corner (1940) |

Superman and the Mole Men (1951) |
It contains some interesting ideas, but is really only going to appeal to massive fans of Superman or those seeking a sense of nostalgia. - Three Movie Buffs

Modern Times (1936) |
Without question there are moments of pure genius contained in this movie, but as a cohesive 80 minute story, it's lacking a bit. - Three Movie Buffs

The Wizard of Oz (1939) |
As a children's movie, this is the definitive classic and does possess a magic all its own. - Three Movie Buffs

The Champ (1931) |
Despite the blatant manipulation, this movie is enjoyable, just be sure to wear your rubber boots when watching, because you'll be knee deep in sap by the time you're done with it. - Three Movie Buffs

The Cheat (1915) |
Compared to many other films of the period, this one comes across as rather modern, at least in some respects. - Three Movie Buffs

Hello, Dolly! (1969) |

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) |
Although it was made to attract a new audience, this is a movie that's really only ever going to be of interest to fans of the original Doctor Who series. Its entertainment value to those unfamiliar with the show is bound to be limited at best. - Three Movie Buffs

Kate & Leopold (2001) |
Nearly the only big-name romantic comedy to come out this year, Kate & Leopold is the perfect date movie this Christmas and the perfect way to escape from the stress of everyday life. - Three Movie Buffs

Someone Like You (2001) |
So while the plot is weak, and the pop psychiatry it spews is nonsense, thanks to a strong cast, this movie manages to remain enjoyable. - Three Movie Buffs

A Star Is Born (1937) |
Although Gaynor's performance isn't as dramatically strong as Garland's, they are both classic versions of the same story. They each have plenty to recommend about them and it's hard to say which is the better version. - Three Movie Buffs

Wholly Moses! (1980) |
Life of Brian was protested by religious groups as heresy. Wholly Moses is silly and lowbrow enough that it never generated equal controversy. It's in every way inferior to that other film, but silly enough to provide a few cheap laughs. - Three Movie Buffs

Murder on the Orient Express (1974) |
As with all Agatha Christie stories, the solution to the mystery is rather ingenious. You may or may not see that solution ahead of time, but it hardly matters. The real joy in her work are the questions rather than the answer. - Three Movie Buffs

The Freshman (1925) |
The plot is a cliche now, but at the time must have felt fresh. And even though modern viewers have seen its like perhaps dozens of times, it somehow does little to diminish The Freshman's charm. - Three Movie Buffs
