There are some good movies in this list, and definitely some good PARTS of movies. Not surprisingly, this is my largest category. All of these titles have at least something to recommend them, but usually also something that didn't work so well. Caveat Videor! (let me know if this is incorrect; I never took Latin)
(NOTE: Dates covered are mid-1983 through 1996. I didn't start using stars until late 1989, so ratings for movies older than that have been added after the fact. Also, I did not write as many reviews as Siskel & Ebert. These are definitely NOT the only 3-star movies to come out during this period; they're just the ones I have reviews for.)

My rating system, more or less:

If you haven't seen it, go out and rent it TONIGHT!
Definitely worth a look, even if you usually don't like the stars or the kind of movie
Only if you are REALLY bored
Not even if it's free
