Our Gang: The Our Gang Collection
They’re still fun at times and remain iconic but there’s something about these shorts where the cute factor wears thin and the stories seem to be calling it in.

Labor Pains
There’s nothing that stands out in any way from the script to the directing to the acting.

Miracle
A story about people rather than just one a team going for the win. In doing so, O’Connor makes Miracle one of the more thoughtful and enjoyable films revolving around sports.
The Machinist
With time as a buffer, it’s now easier to see The Machinist for what it is: a labyrinthine leap down the rabbit hole into a nightmarish wonderland.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The best film about bullying ever made.
Marley & Me
Marley & Me is a film of moments and many of them are cute. For anyone who has ever had a dog or a close pet, there’s bound to be some connection.
Miracle at St. Anna
While it does have its weak points, it’s held together by its unique angle on the war as well as strong characterization for its central characters.
Oliver and Company
Far from classic but it is interesting to watch for its take on the pre-Disnified New York landscape following the company’s real estate foray into the iconic downtown core.
Kidulthood
The fact is, while Kidulthood tries to be raw and gritty, it’s really just a mish-mash of events that’s missing characters that you genuinely care for or even begin to understand.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
It’s like doing a puzzle a second time. It’s familiar, it’s redundant and it’s rarely exciting.
