How couldn´t it be a classic? It's so decidingly funny, so careless about explanations, so relaxed and caring, too, with its comics and monsters, such wit in some dialogues. The blend of humour, fear and sex (lenore Aubert is fantastic)is perfect

Zhang Yimou has become a great artisan, going round and round the ancient epics of his country (even its 1937) with his anxiety of a western escape. Note that in the middle of this gothic world war horror, USA with all his disipations, is a saint refuge.

A rediscovey. I rate 4 stras, because I'm amazed of the ambitios of having the two national sides of the story, with obvious concesion to the USA producers, of course. Great production, taking advantage of the numoerous little historical facts, ann of the nosn star but good character actors cast.

Tight, character as strong as action (Bigleow is pure equilibrium in the violence), a bet for woman historic protagonism, with her certainties and her fragility and her mixed sentiments (when she identifies Osama´s body), and a kind of open ending....bur if you want to trust in Bigelow's aparent convictions and certanties,that´s another story

Stevens hails the story against everybody, even at Hollywood that financed this relatively boring film as a kind of penitence. You see some temptations (in the night, with Pleasence, nice photo, nice tempo)and the wrath against the merchants (before Pasolini made his version). Claude Rains is thrilling, he obscures even his son José Ferrer.

Poses a moral question without enphasis but with climatic resolution, after teh strong first part of the accident. Denzel goes fot his redemption, thats clear

Great plot the upside down ship ant the escape beginning with a christmas tree as a bridge to the engine room; some contrived routines and dialogues in between. I save Winters most of all.

The book has enough ambiguity and antiheroism, and autocritic in MacMurray's character, but the rythm imposes a sort of expeditive ending (Bogart kicking his own balls)

Good locations in Durango, but the romantic exaltation of Geronimo's machism,with stoneface Connors, plays against the agony of the apaches. But I like some moments near the end, when they ara sieged.

A travelogue for Greece, frotn the islands (Hydra, MYkonso, delos) to the monsteries in Meteora and, don't know why, a stop in Epidauro. Too much cast for the thin plot of the hidden treasure. Sophia is pure cliché of mediterranean fiery.Ladd and Webb are just tourists,
