Entertainment Weekly's A-grade movie reviews

Add to my lists | Print this list

These are movies that have received an A or A-plus review from "Entertainment Weekly"://www.ew.com/ew since it began publication in the early 1990s. (The A+ grade is rare—only Citizen Kane has received it to date.)

The editions listed here most closely match the editions that were actually reviewed by EW. For example, if a movie is available on video in both R-rated and unrated editions, and the R-rated movie was reviewed by EW, that is the movie listed here.

(As of January 16, this list is complete only through the V’s. Feel free to help out by adding more from the W’s onward. I’ve entered these in the order they are found going one letter at a time through EW’s lists; please do the same to help it continue to be easy to edit.)

I think the version of Sacco and Vanzetti is wrong (it surely must be the ’71 version ?)


Added W-Z entries on 2/8/07. — 4 years ago

No A movies began with the letter Z.
