Anastasia (1956) 92% 4/5 EDIT “A clever, insightful script puts flesh on the bones of an already intriguing mystery, but it is Bergman who makes this a minor classic.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2026 Full Review My Left Foot (1989) 98% 5/5 EDIT “A superb movie chronicling the life of writer and artist Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy, portrayed with astonishing passion and sensitivity by Daniel Day-Lewis. ” – Radio Times Aug 17, 2024 Full Review The Awful Truth (1937) 91% 5/5 EDIT “This is a wonderful example of Cary Grant at his screwball comic best, playing one half of a sniping, divorcing couple who trade insults like gunfire and seek to spoil each other's future plans.” – Radio Times May 30, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Whoopi Goldberg is wonderful in the lead, Danny Glover and Margaret Avery are sublime, and watch out for a pre-TV-fame Oprah Winfrey playing very out of character.” – Radio Times Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Regarding Henry (1991) 49% 3/5 EDIT “A cynical, manipulative exercise that remains compulsively watchable despite its flaws thanks to the star power on board.” – Radio Times Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Now, Voyager (1942) 91% 5/5 EDIT “This is a movie in which all the elements come together in perfect harmony to give an essentially hackneyed theme the imprint of greatness.” – Radio Times Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Tennessee Williams's overheated tale of familial strife in the Deep South comes alive in this atmospheric dramatisation - it's all steamy, fly-blown and shutters slammin'.” – Radio Times Sep 9, 2020 Full Review The Bodyguard (1992) 38% 3/5 EDIT “Costner is a trifle stern, but Houston makes a very creditable acting debut, and the result is great fun.” – Radio Times Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Frenzy (1972) 89% 4/5 EDIT “While some regard this as inferior fare, it remains an unsettling piece from a director in his twilight years.” – Radio Times May 13, 2020 Full Review Yanks (1979) 57% 3/5 EDIT “This pleasing effort from director John Schlesinger glows with a homely period charm, but never descends into sentimentality.” – Radio Times Apr 16, 2020 Full Review See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) 29% 1/5 EDIT “As well as being an original comic talent, Richard Pryor has also had the dubious distinction of appearing in a plethora of truly execrable movies, and this is certainly one of them.” – Radio Times Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Death Becomes Her (1992) 58% 4/5 EDIT “Quirky but enjoyable oddity.” – Radio Times Jan 3, 2019 Full Review A Star Is Born (1976) 37% 2/5 EDIT “The movie's basic problem is that we simply cannot believe that Streisand and Kristofferson are in the throes of a passionate love affair.” – Radio Times Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Beaches (1988) 41% 3/5 EDIT “This drama is at its best when Midler gives free rein to her character rather than when it slips into schmaltz.” – Radio Times Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Private Benjamin (1980) 83% 3/5 EDIT “It's basically a one-joke effort, but that joke has Hawn throwing herself with great gusto into the role of a bewildered spoilt brat who comes good and her Oscar-nominated performance has huge charm.” – Radio Times May 8, 2017 Full Review The Spiral Staircase (1946) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Thought-provoking and disturbing, this masterly thriller is directed with touches of sheer genius by Robert Siodmak.” – Radio Times Oct 17, 2016 Full Review Grease 2 (1982) 39% 2/5 EDIT “It doesn't work, but you could spend the time spotting relatives of the stars.” – Radio Times Aug 15, 2015 Full Review Plenty (1985) 59% 2/5 EDIT “Everything is spelt out laboriously with a glum and squeakily pretentious air.” – Radio Times Jul 7, 2015 Full Review Fletch Lives (1989) 38% 2/5 EDIT “The plot, such as it is, doesn't so much revolve around Chase in a variety of ill-fitting disguises, as spin mercilessly out of control.” – Radio Times Jul 1, 2015 Full Review Network (1976) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Criticised by some at the time for a certain naivety and lack of subtlety, this remains one of the most devastating condemnations of the media's urge to exploit.” – Radio Times Mar 27, 2015 Full Review The Woman in Red (1984) 32% 3/5 EDIT “Wilder is at his frantic best, ably supported by the likes of real-life wife Gilda Radner and Midnight Run's Charles Grodin.” – Radio Times Mar 23, 2015 Full Review Places in the Heart (1984) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A beautifully paced and sumptuously shot heart-twanger that won Sally Field a richly deserved best actress Oscar.” – Radio Times Mar 9, 2015 Full Review Howard the Duck (1986) 13% 1/5 EDIT “Marvel Comics meets George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, and an uneasy, bland alliance it is, too.” – Radio Times Jul 9, 2014 Full Review Pretty in Pink (1986) 75% 3/5 EDIT “It belts along pleasingly enough, but this frenetic, hard-edged comedy drama is too hackneyed to be entirely successful.” – Radio Times Jun 9, 2014 Full Review She's Having a Baby (1988) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Director John Hughes tries his best to give everything a sparky, pacey feel, but the end result is simply just not funny enough.” – Radio Times Jun 4, 2014 Full Review
