Emily Blunt is amazing at portraying a difficult character. The rest is 'meh to okay.'

This prologue was added before the US network television premiere in 1975.

Hilarious. The humor held up very well, even 67 years later.

I'm also embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize spoiler until 40 minutes into the movie.

My new policy is to now only watch movies from this list that also appear on non-IMDb lists. I have accepted that I will never officially complete this, and I am okay with it.

I just can't take Charleton Heston seriously as an actor. His schtick worked in the epics like Ben-Hur and Ten Commandments, but was too much here. Still an enjoyable film.

According to IMDB, Jason Statham was originally asked to play Bronson but couldn't because of scheduling conflicts. Thank goodness Statham is a busy man!

You're not going to learn anything new from this movie, but it does a great job of encapsulating the rise and fall of Beatlemania. The performances are great, and I appreciate that Howard showed most of them all the way through, instead of cutting away after 30 seconds to a talking head.

Philip Glass is a national treasure.

After watching the trilogy, I'm left with just one question: Why doesn't Europe just make their recycling bins shorter?!?

Laura really treats Bessie like dirt. Everytime Bessie has a near heart attack, Laura briefly comforts her, then asks her to make breakfast or get her things.

That was a punch right to the gut.

This movie is funnier than I had expected. The movie embraces the absurdity of Daniel Radcliffe's "character" and runs with it. His uses are innumerable and, like a good multi-tool, available when you need them.

Although I don't know if I "got" it, I found Tree of Life to be visually stunning and not slow or boring at all.

Interesting that most of the top comments err on the negative side. Didn't like this one either.

Great film, but a such a terrible literal translation of the French title. The English title should be something along the lines of "Raising Hell," which is what the phrase "Les quatre cents coups" refers to in French.

Fascinating story, but the pacing was poor. There has to be more interesting way to present the story besides helicopter shots of a junkyard and zooming in on court documents.

Essentially of remake of A New Hope with some Empire and Jedi thrown in, but highly enjoyable. Now that the "fan service" movie is out of the way, I am excited to see where the next two films go with the story.

This is some of the best animation from Pixar yet. Unfortunately, the story was not up to their usual standards. Story felt more Disney-influenced and less Pixar.

Beautifully shot, but all over the place. Earned a "dislike" from me.
