Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) 95% EDIT “It is a thought-provoking picture, in which no words are minced, and a spade is called a spade.” – Charlotte Observer Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “Without exception Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the greatest thing I have seen on the screen in my 21 years of movie-going.” – Charlotte Observer Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Maltese Falcon (1941) 99% EDIT “It's filled with odd characters and odd situations, carries you along at breakneck pace, builds in suspense and complications, then explodes in your face.” – Charlotte Observer Nov 15, 2022 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% EDIT “It's the kind of stuff out of which Capra the Miracle Man makes entertainment. He makes you laugh and he makes you cry. And when it's all over you leave the theater chuckling and saying to yourself, Capra's done it again." ” – Charlotte Observer Nov 9, 2022 Full Review The Life of Emile Zola (1937) 92% EDIT “The greatest actor of the cinema gives his greatest portrayal, resulting In one of Hollywood's greatest pictures.” – Charlotte Observer Aug 3, 2022 Full Review The Lost Weekend (1945) 97% EDIT “Much credit is due the Wilder-Brackett team for their skillful handling of the drama. There is sledge-hammer directness and ugly simplicity that make it outstanding.” – Charlotte Observer Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (1947) 87% EDIT “It must be reported that 20th Century-Fox did an excellent job of translating this story to the screen, following the main theme of the novel with astonishing fidelity, pulling no punches, making Nightmare Alley harshly realistic.” – Charlotte Observer Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Leave Her to Heaven (1945) 85% EDIT “It's a brutal sort of story, as the millions who read the Ben Ames Williams novel will testify. And Gene Tierney is given one of the most challenging roles ever assigned an actress... passionately warm and murderously cold by turn.” – Charlotte Observer Sep 29, 2021 Full Review The Wizard of Oz (1939) 98% EDIT “Hollywood could give us no Dorothy more lovely more charming than Judy Garland.” – Charlotte Observer May 1, 2021 Full Review The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) 97% EDIT “Don't get the impression that this is a "sermon" or a picture with a "great message" (although there is e message there). No -- it's simply a true-to-life drama so expertly presented that its wonderful entertainment.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Citizen Kane (1941) 99% EDIT “I saw Citizen Kane months ago and it sticks in my mind almost as vividly as if I had seen it yesterday. And I shall certainly see it again.” – Charlotte Observer Mar 1, 2021 Full Review The Great Ziegfeld (1936) 72% EDIT “The Great Ziegfeld is the most spectacular thing of its type to come out of Hollywood. It's a great picture. It leaves one breathless, exhausted. In fact, its magnitude is almost too great -- three hours of spectacle with intermittent doldrums.” – Charlotte Observer Jan 6, 2021 Full Review
