OLIVER! (1968): Critics Consensus: Oliver! transforms Charles Dickens’ muckraking novel into a jaunty musical Victorian fairytale.
PATTON (1970): Critics Consensus: George C. Scott’s sympathetic, unflinching portrayal of the titular general in this sprawling epic.
AMADEUS (1984): Critics Consensus: Amadeus’ liberties with history may rankle some, but the creative marriage of Miloš Forman.
RAIN MAN (1988): Critics Consensus: This road-trip movie about an autistic savant and his callow brother is far from seamless.
PLATOON (1986): Critics Consensus: Informed by director Oliver Stone’s personal experiences in Vietnam.
