Elvis Mitchell, film critic for The New York Times, previously wrote for the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Los Angeles Herald Examiner and Detroit Free Press. He has also written about film for Rolling Stone, GQ and Interview magazines. For the past 15 years, he has become well known to a national audience as the entertainment critic of NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon.

A.O. Scott joined The New York Times as a film critic in January 2000. Previously, he was a Sunday book reviewer for Newsday and a frequent contributor to Slate, The New York Review of Books, and many other publications. Mr. Scott has served on the editorial staffs of both Lingua Franca and The New York Review of Books.

Stephen Holden joined The Times in 1988 after writing popular music criticism for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice. Mr. Holden has had a successful and varied writing career. He has also reviewed and written about music for The Atlantic, Connoisseur, Playboy, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Seventeen and the New Grove Dictionary of American Music. His original poetry has been published in The New Yorker.

Martin Gottlieb is deputy culture editor of The Times. Mr. Gottlieb has been a journalist in New York City for more than 25 years. He has also served as editor of the Village Voice and managing editor of the Daily News.

Join three movie buffs as they discuss nine films they think deserve another chance at the box office. Although you won't be able to see the clips, you'll hear the soundtracks, and more importantly, the critics' justifications for each film. With stars ranging form Jimmy Cagney to Liam Neeson, it is hard to believe many of these films aren't better known. Hear Costello's rave for "the goofiest movie ever seen" and Holden's pick for the"greatest American comedy of the last decade."
