1.The Long, Hot Summer starring: Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Anthony Franciosa, Orson Welles, Lee Remick directed by: Martin Ritt May 20, 2003

I first saw this movie in black and white one summer when I was a teenager and I thought it was very steamy then. Now I'm a grandma and it's almost as steamy. I was a little disappointed the movie had been colorized...but Paul Newman is gorgeous!

2.Hud starring: Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas, Patricia Neal, Brandon De Wilde, Whit Bissell directed by: Martin Ritt December 02, 2003

This movie stands in a class reserved for the best of best in western theme films. Based on the book by Larry McMurtry, "Horseman, Pass By", it also features a very credible performance by Brandon DeWilde as Lonnie, grown up from the little boy he once portrayed in another legend, the unforgettable "Shane" which was filmed about 10 years before. Lonnie worships Hud, who is his father's brother, and the realization that this man of his own blood is not of good character, is a concept too deep for him to grasp until the final turn of events mature him past his youth in the course of one day . The events surrounding this relationship are at the core of the storyline, and also at the core of the conflict between Hud and his old father, Homer, played by Melvyn Dougas. Newman's star ...

3.Hombre starring: Paul Newman, Fredric March, Richard Boone, Diane Cilento, Cameron Mitchell directed by: Martin Ritt June 04, 2002

Elmore Leonard wrote a few Westerns in the '50s that became successful films and this one along with "3:10 to Yuma" still stands out as one of the best of its kind. Kevin Costner has stated in interviews that this film really influenced him in the making of his revisionist Western "Dances with Wolves"--and one can see why. A suspenseful Western with a social consciousness rarely found in films of that era, "Hombre" scored with a solid cast of pros, with Newman in his best Western role ever even over "Butch Cassidy" or "The Left-Handed Gun". Though he plays a stoical character who was raised by the Indians, his John Russell finally reveals himself in the end to be a man of compassion even over his apparent hatred of the White man when he takes action to save a white woman who professed prejudice over ...

I've wanted to get the CD not the DVD. Buyer's mistake. I decided to keep it because I like Michael Jackson. I'm sure this DVD will do it justice, so I decided to keep it.

6.The Spy Who Came in from the Cold starring: Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Oskar Werner, Sam Wanamaker, George Voskovec directed by: Martin Ritt July 13, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $9.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.49 You Save: $2.49 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.42
Classic cold-war thriller that portrays the sacrifice of the individual for the good of the state. The Richard Burton character is involved in a mission to frame an opposite spy and in the end finds himself also expendable to that same cause. Rich undertones of the cold war chill and it's cost. Very well done and an excellent choice in Mr. Burton for this intense ambiguous role.

7.Cross Creek starring: Mary Steenburgen, Rip Torn, Peter Coyote, Dana Hill, Alfre Woodard directed by: Martin Ritt February 19, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.63
I have long enjoyed the story of Cross Creek, but the film provided added dimension, including the magnificant scenery of Central Florida. I have lived here (South Florida) all of my life, and it is wonderful to see the flora and fauna which were so familiar to me as a child.

10.The Molly Maguires starring: Sean Connery, Richard Harris, Samantha Eggar, Frank Finlay, Anthony Zerbe directed by: Martin Ritt April 27, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.99
I have been a union man all my life, as was my father and mother who was the daughter of a mine worker from Eastern Europe. The Molly Maguires shows an accurate picture of the hard life these people faced and how the mine owners schemed to keep them poor and virtual slaves in company towns. Sean Connery and Richard Harris, along with Samantha Eggar and other Celtic actors do a fine job of showing how the workers pushed back against their mine-owner masters. The media of the time called them murderers, but in truth, the wretched conditions in the mine towns killed far more than the Mollies ever did. I've often thought that Sean Connery was good as James Bond, but he grew into a seasoned actor playing in this film. This film is well worth your time.
