Stand by Me (1986) 88% 5/5 EDIT “It's hard to tell if the four young actors are all geniuses or just perfectly cast, but the performances are never short of real, and if some of the key scenes don't have you choking back tears, you are without a soul.” – Empire Magazine Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Shadow of a Doubt (1943) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This is certainly one of Hitchcock's most satisfying thrillers, mostly thanks to Wright and Cotten's believable relationship.” – Empire Magazine Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Higher Learning (1995) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Good intentions, but dull and predictable.” – Empire Magazine Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Grease 2 (1982) 37% 3/5 EDIT “Definitely of the so-bad-it's-almost-good genre, this kinda stands the test of time in a camp way, mainly because of the charm of Pfeiffer and Carrington.” – Empire Magazine Aug 15, 2015 Full Review White Christmas (1954) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Great songs, gentle humour and a dose of syrup which is not to everyone's tastes, but worth buying to keep that Christmas spirit going until next year.” – Empire Magazine Dec 4, 2012 Full Review Three Men and a Baby (1987) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Still charming and watchable. The three leads show their comedy potential.” – Empire Magazine May 23, 2011 Full Review Lassie Come Home (1943) 94% 3/5 EDIT “This was understandably inspiring to wartime audiences and actually still holds up as a heartwarming story with a very decent cast.” – Empire Magazine Mar 23, 2011 Full Review The Sandlot (1993) 66% 2/5 EDIT “For every Field of Dreams there are a dozen lesser, completely incomprehensible baseball movies. This is one of them.” – Empire Magazine Mar 21, 2011 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% 5/5 EDIT “With its strong characters and lively storytelling, animated or not, this deserves its place alongside the cinema greats.” – Empire Magazine Nov 3, 2010 Full Review My Fair Lady (1964) 94% 5/5 EDIT “A wonderfully stylish and witty movie classic.” – Empire Magazine Feb 20, 2008 Full Review You Can't Take It With You (1938) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Its stage origins might be all too obvious, but the excellent ensemble cast makes it an enjoyable breeze, and the in-laws meeting scene is farce comedy at its best.” – Empire Magazine Feb 20, 2008 Full Review Mary Poppins (1964) 97% 4/5 EDIT “One of Disney's greats.” – Empire Magazine Nov 17, 2007 Full Review Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) 36% 3/5 EDIT “Enjoyable, but now basically a footnote to the TV series.” – Empire Magazine Oct 15, 2007 Full Review Kate & Leopold (2001) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Despite a promising premise, Jackman's Golden Globe-nominated performance remains the only tangible reason to see this movie.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review In America (2002) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Lovingly shot, with a remarkable debut from Sarah Bolger, who along with sister Emma, gives one of the greatest ever child performances.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Lovely & Amazing (2001) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Who'd have thought spending 90 minutes with a bunch of neurotic women could be such fun? An intelligent, unassuming drama that's never less than enjoyable.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review High School Musical (2006) 67% 2/5 EDIT “As a marketing phenomenon, this has exceeded all expectations for a TV movie. However as cinema... maybe you just really need to be a teen to get it.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review In the Cut (2003) 35% 3/5 EDIT “Technically brilliant, and Ryan is utterly compelling. But ultimately it's too voyeuristic and cold to recommend without reservations.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Monsoon Wedding (2001) 95% 4/5 EDIT “An optimistic and luscious film.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review The Bourne Identity (2002) 84% 4/5 EDIT “For once, a sequel would be welcome.” – Empire Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005) 80% 2/5 EDIT “It's a slight affair, but the cute Heffalump and some cartoon slapstick are endearing enough to its target audience.” – Empire Magazine Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Must Love Dogs (2005) 37% 2/5 EDIT “If only the whole script had been as sharp as some of Cusack's caustic one-liners, then this might have appealed to more than just the Chardonnay brigade.” – Empire Magazine Sep 16, 2005 Full Review Rain Man (1988) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Hoffman and Cruise give signature performances in this thoughtful, and hugely enjoyable, classic.” – Empire Magazine Aug 11, 2004 Full Review Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 99% 3/5 EDIT “Judy Garland's most famous role and her best performance make for entertaining viewing.” – Empire Magazine May 19, 2004 Full Review Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) 13% 1/5 EDIT “It's about time that all the Christmas movies out there were balanced with a decent Hannukah movie. Sadly, this isn't it.” – Empire Magazine Nov 30, 2003 Full Review
