Obviously there are a lot of movies missing from Metacritic, and because I know that the further back in time you go, the harder it must be to find reviews, I thought I would start by suggesting a few additions from the somewhat recent 1970s...

Animal House
Annie Hall
The Conversation
The Last Picture Show
M*A*S*H
Nashville
Network
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
A Woman Under The Influence


Anybody else have any suggestions?

Hey, KT, Saturday Night Fever is in there! And yes, if we can find at least 6 or 7 quality reviews (reviews from our list of 39 critics) for an older movie, we'll add it. However, keep in mind that it's tough to find good reviews for films released before 1990.


Death to Videodrome... long live the new flesh!

Oops I got lazy ... I was checking to make sure I wasn't suggesting things that were there, but then I got so excited about Saturday Night Fever that I didn't ...

Also, it seems like this will kind of get taken care of naturally, as movies get released or re-released on DVD, I imagine they'll go up on the site.

Well, keep up the good work. Smiler
