0ur opinion: :Purportedly one of Walt Disney's most personal pet projects, Darby 0'Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby 0'Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he's more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and 0'Gill doesn't know what will become of himself and his daughter. ...

And Then There Were None
»rank: 18659

Ten strangers gather for a mysterious gathering on a secluded island. lt turns out to be a farewell party, for they all have been sentenced to die for crimes in their past by a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner who may be one of them. 0ne by one, the guests are systematically ...
