Ace in the Hole (1951) 88% EDIT “What Mr. Wilder chiefly sets out to do here -- show the vulgar things men and women sometimes fall heir to when their emotions are whipped up -- he has brilliantly accomplished.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) 93% EDIT “Quite possibly the superiority of the picture at the Fulton over others which have purported to probe the secrets of outer boundlessness is the fact that The Day the Earth Stood Still makes its visitors so genuinely human. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Gaslight (1944) 94% EDIT “The general excellence of the picture extends right through the cast. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Place in the Sun (1951) 90% EDIT “Mr. Stevens has told "A Place in the Sun" with quiet force and consuming conviction; his people are poignant and real, they are neither lined with good nor evil, but have their share of both.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “The ways of "Out of the Past" are devious and dull.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) 95% EDIT “The producers have stuck admirably to facts, and the facts speak for themselves, eloquently and challengingly.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “"Rebel Without a Cause" isn't just an aggressively irritating movie of excessive exaggerations, it's also a disservice to those who are trying to face up to the juvenile delinquency problem. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Oct 24, 2025 Full Review 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 90% EDIT “Notwithstanding the rather tiresome middle sections, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a sight for the eyes and a bolt to the cerebellum. The opening and the closing see to that.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Only Yesterday (1933) 100% EDIT “Only Yesterday is strictly Miss Sullavan's triumph. What it might have been without her cannot be truthfully estimated. With her, however, it is a vivid, arresting romantic tragedy, and it sparkles with the brilliance of a brilliant new star.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 23, 2024 Full Review White Heat (1949) 94% EDIT “Although Mr. Raoul Walsh has directed the movie at an explosive gait, White Heat strangely enough has a number of dead spots, and frequently becomes just a little monotonous.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 23, 2024 Full Review The Mad Miss Manton (1938) 84% EDIT “What with a couple of killings to solve, a romance to consummate and a flock of laughs to produce, The Mad Miss Manton gets along very well, thank you.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) 100% EDIT “This much is certain, the ways of the ancient Keystone Kops have been carefully studied and diligently absorbed here. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Law and Order (1932) 90% EDIT “Law and Order, of course, belongs to the old Western school of ten, twent' and thirt' melodramas, but there is still something altogether fascinating about its robust heartiness, the manner in which it goes about its business of blood and thunder.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 16, 2024 Full Review National Velvet (1944) 98% EDIT “Mr. Clarence Brown has directed it in such a refreshing burst of good will and with such a staunch belief in the faith of adolescents that the strains of the imagination dissolve into nothingness. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 26, 2024 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “Director King captures a vivid atmosphere at the outset and he is constantly manufacturing a picture that is already indelibly etched in the minds of all who have ever attended one of these rural revels.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% EDIT “While The Bitter Tea of General Yen is a distinguished photoplay in many respects, its chief virtue is in the acting of Mr. Nils Asther, one of the cinema's forgotten men.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Apr 25, 2023 Full Review The Dark Angel (1935) 94% EDIT “A touching, sentimental fable that quietly and placidly makes a weeping willow of eve n the least susceptible. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Sayonara (1957) 82% EDIT “An entertainment with a big heart.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Back to Bataan (1945) 86% EDIT “Back to Bataan is a bang-up show and a bitter . memory, its hair-raising thrills tempered by its aching terrors.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Diabolique (1955) 95% EDIT “If somebody insists, against all warnings, on telling you how Diabolique comes out, kill him in cold blood. There isn't a jury in the land that would convict you. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Frankenstein (1931) 94% EDIT “It is all hooey, to be sure, hooey of the simplest sort, but it has been so expertly assembled and so smartly dressed that it becomes a fine example of the school of the cinema that seeks to shiver and not convince. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jan 18, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% EDIT “It's fast, funny and comically naughty, and Preston Sturges, who's growing up to be a genius, has turned Barbara Stanwyck into a senior member of the Lana Turner set and Henry Fonda into -- surprise! surprise! -- a grand slapstick comedian.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% EDIT “Never has the cinema witnessed anything quite like this unbelievably bewitching fantasy, this captivating, lovely classic touched with agelessness.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Gentleman's Agreement (1947) 82% EDIT “The shoulder Gentleman's Agreement talks directly from has no chip on it, but it wears an epaulet of courage and straightens up in an eloquent plea for the common decency all mankind is heir to.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 16, 2022 Full Review The Maltese Falcon (1941) 99% EDIT “John Huston has not only whipped up a crackling screenplay but he has also turned right around and directed it like an Alfred Hitchcock. You can't just say Mr. Walter Huston's son is going places: he's already there. ” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Nov 11, 2022 Full Review
