Great 66 Points 1934

Though more than a little dated, the original Man Who Knew Too Much remains a must see for fans of spy thrillers and classic filmcraft. Dryer than a vermouth-free martini, perfectly shot in high contrast B&W and crafted in such accomplished fashion that Hitch’s nickname – The Master – could h…

The 39 Steps
Perfect 66 Points 1935

Delightful and gripping, this early Hitchcock gem became the model for fugitive hero thrillers ever since. Terrifically entertaining – albeit dated in dialog, edginess and production values – The 39 Steps is a must see for anyone interested in the original hero-on-the-run-from-the-good-and-bad…

Oliver Twist
Really Great 12 Points 1948

A true classic of a movie, this really great film has been (somewhat sadly, I must now say) by the musical version released in 1968. Although I have not actually read Dickens’ book, this version feels much more true-to-the-book than its musical counterpart, and I liked it. Coming in at just under…
