The Luck of the Irish (1948)
Mar 3, 2001Leprechaun
This was the first Hollywood film about leprechauns, although quite a different work than those that followed. American Tyrone Power encounters a leprechaun on a trip to Ireland
Lee J. Cobb
The Miracle of the Bells (1948)
Jan 1, 2010Catholicism and Miracles
A ghastly sanctimonious Catholic miracle film from the 1940s about the elevation of a Hollywood starlet to sainthood simply because she was glamorous
Our Man Flint (1966)
Feb 4, 2003Spy Film Spoof
One of the more amusing of the numerous James Bond copies of the 1960s featuring James Coburn as agent Derek Flint, this plants tongue in cheek and cheerfully spoofs the whole spy fad
In Like Flint (1967)
May 1, 2000Spy Film
Sequel to the James Coburn-starring Our Man Flint, one of the James Bond parodies of the 1960s. Unlike its predecessor, this one is less interested in the humour and seems to be taking the silliness seriously
The Exorcist (1973)
Sep 24, 2000Demonic Possession
A landmark classic of the horror genre, a film whose take on demonic possession and exorcism laid down a series of tropes that are still present over five decades later. A gruelling and intensive horror story into the bargain
