An alphabetical listing of over 5,000 reviews
by Robert Roten, Film Critic
December 8, 1998, last updated March 14, 2016 -- This page has links to an alphabetical listing of all my movie reviews of titles, starting with titles which begin with numbers (as opposed to numbers spelled out, so 11 is on this page, but the word eleven is on the page of films starting with the letter “e”) followed by titles beginning with the letters A and B.
There is also an index for the rest of the film vault (over 5,000 and counting). The index is organized on web pages showing film titles starting with the letters C and D (C-D), E through G, (E-G), H-I, J-L, M-N, O-Q, R-S and T-Z. I used to put the titles beginning with numbers in alphabetical order, as if they were spelled out, but now titles beginning with numerals are all in this page, in numerical order (well, as much as I can, given that some titles are time of day, others are amounts of money, and so on with fractions, minutes and hours, etc.).
Those little red stars are to indicate how well I liked the movie. Four stars is the highest rating, an A, or excellent, and "bomb" is the lowest rating, an F. Three stars is good, two stars is average and one star is poor. You get the idea. The stars are the numerical equivalent of the A, B, C, D, F rating in my reviews (this can also be easily converted to a 1-5, a 1-9, or a 1-10 rating system if you prefer, since I use pluses and minuses in the letter-based ratings and half stars in the star-based rating system. However you look at it, it is pretty much the same movie rating system most critics use). I don't use A+ ratings. That's grade inflation. I'm old school when it comes to grades.
