Secret Mission (1942): There is some interest in the younger versions of a talented cast but the screenplay has not weathered very well.
Trip to Bountiful, The (1985): If nothing else the time and place has been captured admirably.
Ice Storm, The (1997): Even quality performers Sigourney Weaver and Joan Allen can't spark any life into this – although if Allison Janney had more to do things might have been different. However, young Christina Ricci does save the day somewhat.
Blithe Spirit (1945): A delightful screenplay with Margaret Rutherford stealing every scene she is in.
Moon is Blue, The (1953): It plays like a play with most of the movement coming from the lips. Maggie McNamara provides most of the interest as she has not been overexposed on the big screen.
Othello (1952): Great positioning of the camera and the use of lighting.
Pierrot Le Fou (Crazy Pete) (1965): A free wheeling but uneven screenplay. Some of its segments do not work so well 50 years on but it is still mostly an interesting watch.
Blow (2001): It barely causes a ripple.
Hopscotch (1980): Not the strongest of comedic screenplays but with all due respect to the rest of a pretty useful cast it would have fallen flat on its face without Walter Matthau.
Keeper, The (Trautmann) (2018): Although it is a commercial offering it is a good story and the production values are worthy of attention.
