★★★★★
The Godfather is Francis Ford Coppola's mafia epic about a family business and a son's slow corruption, and more than five decades on it remains the crime film to beat.
★★★★½
The Godfather Part II sets young Vito Corleone's rise against Michael's cold grip on power, a colder, more ambitious sequel that rivals and deepens the 1972 original.
★★★★½
The Goldman Case is Cédric Kahn's gripping French courtroom drama about a 1975 appeal, confined to one Paris courtroom and driven by Arieh Worthalter's volatile lead.
★★★★½
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is Sergio Leone's sprawling 1966 spaghetti western about three gunmen chasing buried gold through a Civil War landscape of ruin.
★★★½☆
The Gospel of the Beast is Sheron R. Dayoc's bleak Filipino coming-of-age drama about a teenager undone by one terrible accident, tough to watch but hard to shake.
★★★☆☆
The Grandmaster is Wong Kar-wai's rain-soaked martial arts elegy about Ip Man and a lost era of kung fu: ravishing to look at, frustrating as a story.
★★★★½
The Great Beauty is Paolo Sorrentino's dazzling, melancholy portrait of an ageing Roman socialite, a Fellini-inspired drama that finds grief beneath the party.
★★★★½
The Green Mile is Frank Darabont's Stephen King prison drama about death-row guards and a gentle giant with a gift, a long, sentimental film that earns its tears.
★★★★½
The Handmaiden is Park Chan-wook's lavish erotic thriller about a pickpocket, an heiress and a swindle, relocated from Victorian England to colonial-era Korea.
★★★★☆
The Heirs is Kim Eun-sook's glossy 2013 high-school chaebol romance with Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye, overstuffed and sagging mid-run but powered by star wattage.
★★★☆☆
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey brings Peter Jackson back to Middle-earth with a charming Martin Freeman as Bilbo, but pads a small adventure into a very long film.
★★☆☆☆
The Battle of the Five Armies ends Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy with one long digital siege, and Thorin's gold-fever aside, there is little heart left under the noise.
★★★☆☆
The Desolation of Smaug is the liveliest Hobbit film, with a thrilling barrel chase and Benedict Cumberbatch's superb dragon, though padding still slows the journey.
★★★★☆
The Host is Bong Joon Ho's anarchic Korean creature feature about a hapless family hunting a river monster, as funny and angry as it is frightening.
★★★½☆
The House of the Spirits is Prime Video's Chilean, Spanish-language take on Isabel Allende's family saga: lush, angry and faithful in spirit, if hurried in places.
★★★★☆
The Immortal Ascension is a 30-episode xianxia drama in which Yang Yang's untalented village boy climbs toward immortality by patience and cunning rather than fate.
★★★★☆
The Inbetweeners is the crude, painfully accurate British sitcom about four suburban sixth-formers failing to be cool. Endlessly quotable, though some jokes have aged.
★★★★☆
The Incredibles is Brad Bird's Pixar superhero comedy about a family of retired heroes stuck in suburbia, a sharp, stylish action film that works for all ages.
★★★★★
The Intouchables is the French comedy-drama about a paralysed aristocrat and his irreverent carer, a joyous odd-couple friendship powered by Omar Sy and François Cluzet.
★★★★½
The IT Crowd is Graham Linehan's Channel 4 sitcom about two tech-support misfits and their clueless boss, a tightly built farce that is still hugely funny today.
★★★★☆
The K2 is a glossy 2016 Korean action thriller: Ji Chang-wook's fugitive mercenary guards a politician's hidden daughter amid blackmail, bruising fights and romance.
★★★★½
The King's Speech is Tom Hooper's warm British drama about George VI's stammer and his unlikely therapist, lifted by superb turns from Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.
★★★★☆
The Knockout is China's sprawling 2023 crime saga about a stubborn cop and a fishmonger turned gang boss, powered by Zhang Songwen's mesmerising, star-making villain.
★★★½☆
The Lamb is Kutluğ Ataman's wry Turkish village drama about a poor family, a circumcision feast and a boy's terror, small in scale but sharp about pride and poverty.
