Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) |
The arrival of this spectacular drama about the visit of extraterrestrial beings to earth is this year's second landmark science-fiction film. Although comparisons to Star Wars are inevitable, "Close Encounters" is an entirely different kind of film. - San Francisco Examiner

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) |
It does show democracy in action and in the filibuster sequence the picture's action teaches a speed, suspense and drama of the sort for which Capra has earned his niche in the halls of film fame. - San Francisco Examiner

The Toll of the Sea (1922) |
The Toll of the Sea [is] a distinct achievement in the realm of motion pictures. The screen story is dramatically distinguished by the surprising artistry exhibited by Anna May Wong... a new and unheralded personality among screen players. - San Francisco Examiner

Traffic in Souls (1913) |
The pictures are well made, and some of the incidents are highly dramatic. Several of the scenes are brutal in their strength, but all are absolutely devoid of unnecessary vulgarity, and every incident carries its lesson. - San Francisco Examiner

Cleopatra (1917) |
Chief interest, however, naturally centers in Theda Bara for her vivid portrayal of the most notable siren in all history. - San Francisco Examiner

The Skywayman (1920) |
As the story was written for thrills, so it was filmed, in five noteworthy reels. It shows Locklear's death-defying feats; his last flight, and a "close-up" of his burning plane in its spectacular crash to earth. - San Francisco Examiner

Daughter of the Gods (1916) |
The city that was built for the purposes of this picture is an imposing-looking place, and the fire views, when the city is destroyed, are spectacular. - San Francisco Examiner
