Return to Horror High
»rank: 28285
0ur opinion: :Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: O5/O4/2OO4 Run time: 94 minutes Rating: R :Return to Horror High is a convoluted cheesefest that tries to be spoof and horror movie at the same time, feebly prefiguring Scream.

Goodbye, Columbus
»rank: 23103
0ur opinion: :Philip Roth's novel of Jewish identity and assimilation in the suburbs of New York gets a spirited comic reading in this 1969 film, which marked the acting debut of model Ali McGraw (and who thought that was a good idea?). Actually, she's pretty good as the Jewish princess whose father has made a fortune in plumbing supplies. Richard Benjamin, who went on to become an odd sex symbol of the '7Os, had just the right comic twist as the young man who can't overcome McGraw's ...
