PLEASE NOTE: there is a major difference between the scale with which modern movies are being judged and the "classics scale" with which the...well...good ones are being judged.

gaslight (cukor, 1944)

i really did not enjoy this movie at all. there was almost nothing redeeming about it (besides angela lansbury, who was the 6th lead or so in a cast of 7 speaking parts): it had one boring and predictable plot line, standard-for-the-time-and-starlet overdone neutral density, and a terrible ending sequence. i did appreciate its attention to grammar, though.
...i really have no idea how anyone can consider this a classic, unless it's strictly because of the talent involved.

classics scale: 0.5/10
