  1. Every decade or so, Godard’s film is revered all over again for everything it got right about the future. But for all its influence, Alphaville still looks and feels like no other movie. More than a prophecy, it is poetry.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It’s no lost masterpiece but it is funny and showcases a side of Brando we didn’t get to see often: slapstick funnyman.
  2. The Naked Kiss is a gut punch with the rhythm of a dream.
  3. Paths of Glory is all about that greatest of all movie subjects: power.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mitchum’s tough-guy demeanor serves him well here, giving an odd energy to the love story.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It Happened on Fifth Avenue earns its warmth honestly, tethering a tale of fresh starts and changed hearts to the real difficulties faced by those reaching for the American dream in a postwar era that was supposed to bring prosperity for all.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Watching Woman of the Year today, it’s hard not to see it as a the model for almost every romantic comedy.
  4. Most of the dialogue and effects are clunky, repetitive, second-rate. A minute or so of David Lynch’s latest Twin Peaks series has more irrational menace. For all its feverish activity, Mother! feels static.
