Review of Last Summer (1981)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

Review of The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

A fine movie, a wonderfully comic tale we didn't quite expect from a director who seems more at home with violence than with humor…

Review of Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

Review of Xtro (1982)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

Review of Daniel (1993)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

Review of Avanti! (1972)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004

Avanti! isn't a laugh-a-minute kind of a movie, and it's too long by maybe half an hour…

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 22 Oct 2004
