They'll get you at home just as well.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) - 6.5/10. Off-hand, I can't think of a deformed creature with a heart of gold who the audience hasn't fallen in love with, so maybe it's an easy answer to say that Charles Laughton is marvelous. I would believe he was found on the steps of the cathedral and lived there his whole life. He inhabits his role much more than the rest, who are all fronts for some sort of ideology. The problem with the movie, halfway through and the after-taste, is that it tries to stuff too many social ideas into too small a frame. It bogs the middle down with too much plot, and it leaves everyone happy except for our dear hero, and the note rings false because they didn't dig a big enough hole for any of them to bury themselves in or to climb out of.
