  1. The Lady Eve
    Nowhere was American comedy in the '40s more frivolously sophisticated than in the movies of Preston Sturges, and The Lady Eve is his most satisfying romantic film. [05 May 1988, p.C7]

    Fantasia
    It is icon, uplift, art of the future, nostalgia, psychedelic journey, Americana, technological triumph, classic.
  3. Stagecoach
    Although undeniably a western, Stagecoach transcends the genre, as both a character study of the relationships among a socially mismatched crew of stagecoach passengers and an action movie about their attempts to avoid the dangerous Geronimo and his Apache tribe. And that action, by the way, is impressive, even by today's standards. [28 May 2010, p.WE37]

  4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
    As rich and fun as it was in post-Depression 1937 -- yes, 1937. And the seven dwarfs (Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy and Dopey) are every bit as charming as they "Hi-ho" to work at the diamond mine.
  5. Swing Time
    Arguably the best movie of the Astaire-Rogers series, Swing Time is the most consistently entertaining, most imaginatively plotted of their films. [25 Jun 1987, p.B7]
    • Washington Post
  6. The Gay Divorcee
    The movie is full of endearing grace notes. [11 Oct 2009, p.24]

  7. The Thin Man
    What's on display here is '30s-style light comic acting at its wittiest and most effervescent. [14 Apr 1988, p.C7]
    • Washington Post
  8. Little Women
    The acclaimed director’s Depression-era film ranks among the better-known Little Women adaptations.
  9. The Blue Angel
    The Blue Angel it's clear to Von Sternberg, and to us, that he's connected with some pure being of cinema, whose power to ignite an audience was unstoppable. She became a great star.
  10. Distance
    The film's exploration of loss and the gulf of time and memory that separates us from our pasts is beautifully and subtly handled by Kore-eda. But it is his concern with the sometimes insurmountable distance that lies between knowing and not knowing why we do the things we do that is the filmmaker's true -- and most profound -- subject. [2 April 2004, p.T47]
