1.Rose Marie (1936) starring: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Reginald Owen, Allan Jones, James Stewart directed by: W.S. Van Dyke September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
Do you remember what falling in love feels like. Well this movie is a all time winner...loved it 40 years ago and today as a Adult the impact is even greater today...Love is a powerfull emotion, and this movie shines a light on the subject, beautifully played by Nelson and Jeanette....

2.Show Boat (1936) starring: Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, Paul Robeson, Helen Morgan directed by: James Whale September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
I have purchased two (one 'new', the other 'like new') video copies of the 1936 Showboat and returned both because of their less than sterling quality. I love musicals and the 1936 Showboat is my favorite one. Its absolutely incredible that this classic, which so many movie goers think is the best musical on film, hasn't been put in DVD format yet. Why aren't the champions of movies (Scorcese, are you listening?) pushing hard to get this film on DVD? Come on Hollywood, get this film on DVD for all musical movie lovers to enjoy.

3.Everybody Sing starring: Allan Jones, Judy Garland, Fanny Brice, Reginald Owen, Billie Burke directed by: Edwin L. Marin April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.99
Everybody Sing is the story of an insane family (all somehow involved in show business, which makes them a bit eccentric). The youngest daughter of the family (Judy Garland), has been expelled from four schools due to her intense adoration for jazz and swing music. She has a right to; that is the type of music she excells at singing, and we get to hear a lot of it. Her parents just don't understand, so they attempt to send her away again, but she escapes so she can join a musical describing her own feelings on music. Judy Garland is wonderful here in a very early part where her eyebrows are still plucked down and her body has not been restrained to make her look younger. Despite how different she looks, her personality and voice shine through and prove that even at this young age, Judy ... Read More

4.A Night at the Opera starring: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Kitty Carlisle, Allan Jones directed by: Edmund Goulding, Sam Wood January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I didn't fully appreciate this film until my second viewing. Now I think it's one of the better Marx Brothers film. The film - filled with funny lines - has all the familiar MB trappings: good slapstick, good and bad jokes and routines, wild scenes, several musical numbers and general overall chaos. The only thing not appealing to me in the film were some of the songs - not all, just some. Otherwise, it was all fun as Groucho, Chico and Harpo all share humorous lines and/or sight gags. This is the film with the famous scene involving a ton of people being stuffed into Groucho's small cabin room. It's more amazing than funny. My favorite scenes were when Groucho and Chico got into discussions and trade lines back-and-forth. I also laughed heartily at the finale with Harpo swinging like Tarzan ... Read More

5.Firefly starring: Matthew Boulton, Henry Daniell, Roger Drake, Douglass Dumbrille, Billy Gilbert December 11, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.89
This is one of my favorite Jeanette MacDonald movies. Even without Nelson Eddy, this movie is full of wonderful music by Jeanette and Allan Jones. Highly recommended!

6.American Wedding - Extended Party Edition (Unrated) starring: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Eddie Kaye Thomas directed by: Jesse Dylan January 02, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I was a huge fan of the first and second American Pie. Those was hilarious. This just seemed to be stretching it too far. It makes sense to end the series on this movie because it completes the romantic story line but I just did not find it all that funny. Its worth watching once or twice but not worth the purchase. If you are a fan of American Pie I suggest renting this movie instead of buying it.

7.A Day at the Races starring: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Allan Jones, Maureen O'Sullivan directed by: Sam Wood January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.96
When the Marx Brothers came to MGM in 1935, boy wonder producer Irving Thalberg had the good commercial sense to package them in a genuine musical comedy which widened their box office appeal enormously although it detracted from the pure gold of their earlier anarchic Paramount comedies. "A Day at the Races" followed the formula of the hugely successful "A Night at the Opera", but it was was the beginning of the end of their golden period. The problem is simply that while the boys are very good, there is just not enough of them and in inverse proportion, a dumb love story with the charming Allan Jones and the equally charming but sappy Maureen O'Sullivan. Also, there is a notable softening of their characters, particularly Harpo and that diminishes them. The film also has 2 major production ... Read More

8.Wild in the Streets starring: Shelley Winters, Christopher Jones, Diane Varsi, Hal Holbrook, Millie Perkins directed by: Barry Shear
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $24.88
One movie I never forgot.....1968 stars Hunky Christopher Jones as the leader of the youth movement to take over America.. I said "Right On!" (I was 15 when I saw it) My 16 year old now who saw it shakes his head and said "What were you thinking?" Finding irony at the end....we all get old (if we are lucky!)... Richard Pryor, Hal Holbrook and the recently deceased Shelly Winters also star in this classic representation of the 60's youth. Enjoy the trip back in time! Very interesting...A "Boomer's movie...Peace!

9.Cobb starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Wuhl, Lolita Davidovich, Ned Bellamy, Scott Burkholder directed by: Ron Shelton September 02, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.70
Ty Cobb was certainly one of the greatest ballplayers to ever put on cleats, but this film does not him justice. As a historical biopic it falls far short. Cobb comes across without a shred of humanity and is dislikeable from his first appearance. This really isn't a baseball story per se, it's more of a character study with a baseball backdrop. The story starts near the end of Cobb's life as reporter Al Stump is summoned to Cobb's Tahoe hunting lodge to write the life story of the great ball player (all of which is based on a true story and you can find Stump's books on Amazon). The vast majority of the movie is spent on the interplay between Stump and Cobb as Stump (and the audience) discover what kind of man Cobb really is (and it ain't pretty). Throughout the film we get a few vignettes of Cobb's life, his career in baseball, ... Read More

10.Carman - The Champion starring: Carman, Michael Nouri, Patricia Manterola, Jeremy Williams, Jed Allan directed by: Lee Stanley May 15, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Doesn't make any sense. Patricia M. costars in this movie in the same year as she poses pornographically for PETA and after playing years on soap operas in Mexico. During the movie, as a married woman, she enters into deep french kisses with the Christian Pastor gifted musician, Carman. I saw Carman's Christian concerts many years ago. Very emotionally charged exciting events where he tried to honor God with his gift and subdued the crowd, when they tried to turn the concert into a secular equivalent. What happened since then? I am puzzled that this "Christian" movie, produced by a Christian, would have such strong immoral behaviors as ok? I just watched the movie and after googling the movie, I was shocked to find out that the actress was not only not his wife, she was married at the time, and was posing pornographically ...
