The Hustler is filmed in black and white, a choice that suits its gritty, somber tone. The opening pool hall scene lays out the stakes—ambition comes at a cost, and failure has weight. It has stellar performances across the board.

One Million Babes BC 2024
You might be able to overlook One Million Babes BC’s bargain-bin production if it had a story worth following or performances worth watching, but it doesn't. Even the dinosaur gas attack scene, which had a shot at campy fun, was just plain dumb.

Barry Lyndon 1975
The cinematography is amazing, and Kubrick staged each scene to perfection. The movie's pacing is a little slow, but you are rewarded with an epic story if you give it a chance.

South Sea Woman 1953
WWII action-adventure presented as a flashback, something that hurts the movie. Lancaster plays his standard role, so if you like him, then you should enjoy this film.
