Infectious, intoxicating joy is the emotion conveyed in every frame of this ravishing, exuberant documentary.

It's the most uplifting movie of a numbing year -- a feel-good film full of songs about feeling god-awful.

Maniacally funny. It remains neck and neck with "Young Frankenstein" as Brooks' best film.
The Blue AngelCritic ScoreNew Times (L.A.)

This film made Dietrich a star, and it's easy to see why: Slightly more voluptuous than in her later films, Dietrich is the embodiment of the pleasures of the flesh.

Sometimes the cinema is just heavenly, and this is one of those times.
10 Things I Hate About YouCritic ScoreNew Times (L.A.)

A small-scale, slight undertaking, but its pleasures are unexpectedly rich. It has become a habit in our movies to portray the exploits of high school characters as shocking and depraved. Ten Things allows its teenagers their innocence and a quality that is even rarer these days, something like nobility.

Released in 1962, it was pretty clearly the most intelligent spectacular within living memory. On its 40th anniversary, it's even better.

Not to be missed. And pay close attention to the finale. It's a genuine surprise.
