My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% 1.5/4 EDIT “Movies like this are designed to make you jump, scream, hide your eyes, hug your date and talk with glee about what bad taste the movie makers are capable of. "My Bloody Valentine" does all that.” – New York Daily News Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Dracula (1979) 64% 3/4 EDIT “The movie owes a strong debt to its John Williams score, irresistibly pounding away from the very beginning and always contributing to the illusion that powerful forces are at work.” – New York Daily News Oct 21, 2025 Full Review The Thing (1982) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “There are truly astonishing, stomach-turning creations that have the look of reality -- or unreality -- to them.” – New York Daily News Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Hard Times (1975) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “Despite its hokiness, the movie has a fascination. And Bronson almost makes you believe it is an allegory. ” – New York Daily News Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “The joke meanders and waiting for the punchline makes 90 minutes a long time.” – New York Daily News Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Eraserhead (1977) 87% EDIT “David Lynch says he had a happy childhood and he never has nightmares, but he's turned out a movie which is the pure substance of nightmares. ” – New York Daily News Jan 23, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Story (1983) 87% 1/4 EDIT “It's all in A Christmas Story, but it's as real as wax fruit. ” – New York Daily News May 13, 2023 Full Review Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) 60% 3/4 EDIT “It's got Bob Dylan as an actor and a Bob Dylan soundtrack. As a matter of fact, this may be the movie's biggest selling point in the end. Maybe the movie should have been called Pat and Billy and Bob. ” – New York Daily News Jun 14, 2022 Full Review A Touch of Zen (1971) 97% EDIT “Stylized slaughter and idyllic scenes of nature get equal time and the photography, matched by effective music, is beautiful, sometimes spectacular, but also voluminous.” – New York Daily News Aug 2, 2021 Full Review The Legacy (1979) 19% 1/4 EDIT “The movie's effect is more queasy than spooky.” – New York Daily News Jul 31, 2021 Full Review The Toy (1982) 3% 1.5/4 EDIT “The movie definitely belongs to Pryor, although it's no big prize to own a movie so raggedly stitched together.” – New York Daily News Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Chan Is Missing (1982) 96% 2.5/4 EDIT “[Moy's Jo] is the hub of the wheel that rolls through the manhunt.” – New York Daily News May 19, 2021 Full Review Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the movie that should have been made the first time around.” – New York Daily News May 18, 2021 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “This is a screamingly spooky sci-fi tale with more than a few echoes of "The Thing" but echoes which enhance rather than detract.” – New York Daily News May 25, 2016 Full Review The Shining (1980) 84% 2/4 EDIT “Shock effect and graphic imagery don't compensate for the sense of pointlessness and even distaste that is left at the end of the movie.” – New York Daily News May 22, 2016 Full Review The Warriors (1979) 88% 2/4 EDIT “It's both surrealistic pop art and sentimentalized pandering to the attitude of "us against them," the have-nots against the haves.” – New York Daily News Feb 9, 2016 Full Review Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) 78% 2/4 EDIT “What it doesn't have is a clear point of view, something that would make it of more interest than leafing through a high school yearbook.” – New York Daily News Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 94% EDIT “Raiders of the Lost Ark has more size than substance but nevertheless it's a delightful special big surprise package of a movie that should turn Indiana Jones into a national figure.” – New York Daily News Jun 16, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% 4/4 EDIT “If the Star Wars trilogy has a drawback, it is the potential reinforcement of the attitude that Pop Art is Life and the Good can conquer Evil with a number of high-powered Zaps. That aside, the trilogy is superior entertainment.” – New York Daily News Apr 30, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “A spectacular piece of work that carries the new "Star Wars" tradition forward.” – New York Daily News Apr 30, 2015 Full Review
