Gandhi: [ Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen ] Ben Kingsley opens up his passive resistance closet, pulls out a broom, and sweeps up the Oscars. 1982.
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie: [ Anthony Newley, MacKenzie Astin ] I could probably come up with some clever insult related to "Garbage" but it's not worth the effort. This movie sucks. 1987.
Gaslight: [ Charles Boyer, Ingrid Berman, Joseph Cotten ] You're Ingrid Bergman. You're in the house, you think you're going crazy. The gaslights dim. You're not crazy afterall! Joseph Cotten helps you figure it out. 1944.
The General: [ Buster Keaton, Marion Mack ] Buster conducts a sight gag clinic and puts modern cinema to shame. Who needs dialogue? (Well, maybe a blind person, but...) 1927.
Get Shorty: [ John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, Danny DeVito ] Miami loanshark goes west to break down a debtor, but breaks into showbiz instead. Travolta shines like a supernova in this stellar effort from director Barry Sonnenfield. 1994.
The Getaway: [ Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw, Ben Johnson ] Sam Peckinpah flick lacks the powerful punch of his best work, The Wild Bunch. Nevertheless, McQueen is a great cool guy. 1972.
The Getaway: [ Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, James Woods ] Limp remake of the '72 McQueen vehicle with Mr. & Mrs. Baldwin looking uncomfortably numb. 1994.
Getting Even with Dad: [ Macauley Culkin, Ted Danson ] So much to slam -- so little time. 1994.
Gettysburg: [ Tom Berenger, Martin Sheen ] Community theatre beards ruin an otherwise riveting Civil War drama. Look for billionaire Ted Turner's cameo. 1993.
Glen or Glenda: [ Bela Lugosi, Lyle Talbot, Dolores Fuller ] Plan 9 auteur Ed Wood delivers a low-budget exploration of the transvestite life. Camp classic ranks high on the "good kind of bad" scale. 1953.
Ghostbusters: [ Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis ] The 80's best big-budget comedy delivers boffo bangs for the bucks. Murray is so good he's scarey. 1984.
Ghostbusters II: [ Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis ] Sequel to above is a disappointing retread, with little novelty and only a handful of laughs. 1989.
G.I. Blues: [ Elvis Presley, Juliet Prowse ] Elvis swivels for Uncle Sam as a singing soldier. Fun for fans. 1960.
Glengarry Glen Ross: [ Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey ] On-the-money adaptation of Mamet play. Stunning performances from an all-star cast that manages to make us forget their star-ness. 1992.
Glory: [ Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington ] Civil War epic from "Thirtysomething" guru Ed Zwick. Top-rate battle scenes and perfect performance from Washington spackle a dry script. 1989.
Go West: [ The Marx Brothers ] Groucho and the gang head to California on a quest for gold. 24 karat comedy. 1940.
Going Ape!: [ Tony Danza, Jessica Walter, Danny DeVito ] I'm always on the lookout for a good monkey movie. This ain't one of 'em. 1981.
GoldenEye: [ Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Joe Don Baker ] Brosnan resurrects the wilting 007 franchise with the most dazzling Bond since Sean Connery. Villains, stunts and gadgets are also shiny, but a long-winded final act dulls the luster. 1996.
The Graduate: [ Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Katharine Ross ] Catchy Simon and Garfunkle songs set the pace for this sixties fave. A major milestone for all involved, including Oscar-winning director Mike Nichols and first-time stars Hoffman and Ross. 1967.
Groundhog Day: [ Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott ] A truly timeless comedy about a day that never ends. Murray nails virtually every scene and makes for an early spring! 1993.
