The Mosquito Coast

- Commentary: For my reaction to this movie, see the write-up for Ray.
Roger Ebert did drop a review on this movie, although he was not thrilled with it. He split with Gene Siskel on it.
Critics, in general, were vehemently split-to-negative on this film after its initial release. For this reason, the Reception section of the Wikipedia write-up is an interesting read. It has gained a much better reputation in the years since its release. When I first saw the film, in the theatre, although it was gritty, I liked it so much that I continued to recall scenes and bits of dialogue from it in the years hence, which is why I finally obtained a copy.
