1.The Dead starring: Anjelica Huston, Donal McCann, Dan O'Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Helena Carroll directed by: John Huston September 16, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.20
The tenor evoking the memory of Michael Furey (the dead) for the wife,as he sings during the dinner party, assumes a more significant role when heard in a film score, than when left to a reader's imagination. John Huston had the keen sense to find the best - Irish tenor Frank Patterson, who died in 2000. According to CD notes for a Patterson collection including this song, he was originally going to be hired merely as the voice, but was then cast to act and sing. While I admire the acting and directing as noted by so many others, it's the power of Patterson's marvelously wistful singing, so clear and pure, that most illuminates what little plot there is,and lingers with me. Hearing the song as he sings it, allows me to enter the wife's mind and interpret how she lamented her long ... Read More

2.Lonesome Dove starring: Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Diane Lane, Robert Urich directed by: Simon Wincer June 30, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
Quite simply, Lonesome Dove (1989) is one of the best westerns of all time. Even the minor characters are multi-dimensional and fully developed. All of the acting is top notch. The direction is superb. But, this story is really about the relationship of two men: Captain Woodward Call (Tommy Lee Jones) and Captain Augustus McRae (Robert Duvall), retired Texas Rangers. Call, the stoic, is the polar opposite of McRae, a fun-loving "philosopher." Their poignant farewell is one of the most touching you will ever see on film. (Duvall said this was his favorite role.) I rank this film right up there with The Searchers (1956) starring John Wayne.

3.Barbie As Rapunzel (Clam) starring: Kelly Sheridan, Anjelica Huston, Cree Summer, Ian James Corlett, Mark Hildreth directed by: Owen Hurley October 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
My 6 year old daughter really likes this movie, a CGI animated film. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but my husband and I just finished watching it with her and I realize now what a well-made and entertaining movie it is. A story-within-a-story, with Barbie narrating to her little sister, Kelly, about a young, honest girl named Rapunzel. Rapunzel is essentially a prisoner to Gogol, who has "cared" for her since she was a baby. However, one day, fate has a hand in allowing Rapunzel to realize that Gogol lied about Rapunzel's parents being dead. She explores the village outside the castle walls where she has been imprisoned and discovers, literally, that there is a whole world of love waiting for her. I feel it teaches a good message,too, that of forgiveness. Despite ... Read More

5.Ever After - A Cinderella Story starring: Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, Patrick Godfrey, Megan Dodds directed by: Andy Tennant January 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is probably my all time favorite movie! I LOVE this movie. Though I was never really drawn to Drew Barrymore as an actress, she seems to show up in all the good movies. She's an amazing actress. I have watched this movie so many times; I'm surprise it still works. I love it so much, that when it came out on DVD, even though I had it on VHS, I bought it. This is one of those movies that you'll want to watch over and over. This movie has inspired me in so many ways, in my fictional Romance writing. It is everything and more, that I could possible expect in a Cinderella story.

6.Witches starring: Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher, Jane Horrocks, Anne Lambton directed by: Nicolas Roeg December 03, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.94
Great childrens film. You always knew your old neighbour was really a witch.....didn't you?? How about a hotel full of them in disguise??

7.Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) starring: Jack Nicholson, Jessica Lange, John Colicos, Michael Lerner, John P. Ryan directed by: Bob Rafelson January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.55
I hated this film on first vewing because I was used to the John Garfield version and I felt the sex in this one was just too perverse, especially the scene immediately following the 'accident". The movie has really grown on me since then, though, and it has become one of my favorite "new" film noirs. As for the DVD being in full screen: it is indeed in full screen, but it is not cropped. Instead, the transfer shows information on the top and bottom which would have been masked off in the theater. You can see that this is so by looking closely at the trailer included on the disc. You can get the same framing as the trailer if you have a newer TV with an adjustable picture ratio (16x9 +1)

8.Buffalo Girls starring: Anjelica Huston, Melanie Griffith, Gabriel Byrne, Peter Coyote, Tracey Walter directed by: Rod Hardy May 25, 1999

I didn't expect to find this so moving! I initially wanted to watch it for Reba McEntire. (I'm a fairly new Reba fan and I've been trying to watch and listen to everything of hers I can find.) Well, she is only in about 15 minutes of the movie, but the performances were all superb and I'm glad I bothered to watch the whole thing.

9.Daddy Day Care (Slip) starring: Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Anjelica Huston, Steve Zahn, Regina King directed by: Steve Carr December 02, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This was a great family film. Good slapstick, geik, and family humor. I haven't laughed this hard at good clean fun in a long time. Eddie Murphy and crew successfully make a film with a scenario that might seem overdone, but this was by far the funniest effort I've seen yet.

10.Manhattan Murder Mystery starring: William Addy, Jerry Adler, Alan Alda, Joy Behar, Zach Braff June 20, 1995

This is one of the greatest Woody Allen movies!! I love it and am so happy to own it now.
