Pimpernel Smith
»rank: 17616
0ur opinion: :This 1941 update of The Scarlet Pimpernel finds British actor Leslie Howard reinventing one of his most popular characters as an absent-minded archaeology professor ingeniously smuggling victims of Nazi oppression out of Germany. Howard (Gone with the Wind), who left Hollywood to return to his native country during World War ll, also directed this taut, entertaining adventure in a patriotic vein, including scenes in which his charismatic hero scientifically debunks the myth of Aryan superiority. Directed with a deft touch and edited for maximum excitement, ...

0ur opinion: essential video:Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. 0ne of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for the gusto in terms of capturing ...

Funny Farm
»rank: 117924
0ur opinion: :George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things don't work out that way. Hill's usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies; but Funny Farm nevertheless ...

Hitler: The Rise of Evil
»rank: 168167
0ur opinion: :Had the many folks who were outraged by the very existence of Hitler: The Rise of Evil seen it before it was aired by CBS-TV in 2OO3, they would have realized that their fears that this three-hour miniseries would somehow paint a sympathetic portrait of the man generally regarded as the 2Oth Century's most irredeemable monster were unfounded. There's very little shading here. By and large, this Adolf Hitler is a wicked, vengeful, paranoid, anti-Semitic lunatic pretty much from the get-go; indeed, the opening credits ...
