Johnstown Flood
Johnstown Flood is the kind of movie I wouldn’t have minded watching in school. It concurrently educates and entertains. While it’s not perfect, it’s still a worthy introduction to an American tragedy.
Roger and Me
While not as good as Bowling for Columbine, Roger and Me does show delirious hints of what was yet to come.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
[Pirates] might not have a single defining moment of wonderment…[but] it does as a whole tap into the same sensibilities that make you wish you were there.
Guys, Girls and a Jerk
A big step in the right direction and a rare instance where a sequel outshines its predecessor.
May
You have to look to McKee’s search for the poetic truth that lies at the heart of the film to find the true beauty of his work.
Fire Maidens of Outer Space
Old sci-fi can be great and insightful into its time period when it’s good. But if you’re going to be bad, sci-fi is the worst genre to be in. Fire Maidens of Outer Space is as bad as anything you can imagine.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde
I’ve got a joke for you. How many blondes does it take to make a sequel? I’ll let you write your own punchline because no matter what you come up with it’s likely to be funnier than Legally Blonde 2.
Spellbound
Spellbound might follow eight juniors as they try to become champions, but director Jeffrey Blitz is really documenting the American Dream in action.
Better Off Dead
Better Off Dead’s charm stems from its imagination and attitude.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
More time seems to be spent on giving Schwarzenegger corny one-liners than establishing the TX as a genuine threat.
