1.Turning Point starring: Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leslie Browne, Tom Skerritt directed by: Herbert Ross May 19, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.40
I am very surprised that this movie had this high ratings. I may agree with others on the right casting, but this was not my genre. I mean, I love watching ballet but I hated to see ballet connected with divorce, alcohol, sexual relationships before marriage, jealous, mean words and actions, and swearing words. It was a very ugly movie with a beautiful ballet. The dance was exquisite but I didn't enjoy it at all because I didn't like the characters at all. When my daughter covered her ears, I had to turn it off. The peace came back as soon as it was shut off. I picked this movie because it was on the government's pick list, but I don't think my Heavenly Father wants me to watch this again.

2.'night, Mother starring: Sissy Spacek, Anne Bancroft, Ed Berke, Carol Robbins, Jennifer Roosendahl directed by: Tom Moore April 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.99
Read some of the other reviews and you'll know the basis of the story. But this kind of film is not for everyone. The story line is difficult to say the least. A woman determined to kill herself and the mother (who loves her more than anyone else in this world) trying desperately to find a way to stop it from happening. If suicide is too distressing a subject for you, do not watch this film. If you are thinking of suicide, do not watch this film. It evidences how someone can convince themselves that this is the right choice (which it is not), but hopefully it also points to the fact that a suicide always deeply, adversely and irreversibly affects someone else in this world, even if it's just the person who finds the body (I know of which I speak). This movie may be boring for some, but ... Read More

3.Jesus of Nazareth (3pc) starring: Robert Powell, Olivia Hussey, Laurence Olivier, James Mason, Anne Bancroft directed by: Franco Zeffirelli February 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.32
This video is not as biblically accurate as I was led to believe by the other reviews. I purchased this to augment my bible study teaching so I may be a little tougher on the movie then most people. Dramatic license is taken in several places because of the need to let the viewer know some of the backround as well as the portraying of the actual incidents in Jesus' life. The movie is already 6 hours long so I can understand the necessity of this but some of decisions by the producer are almost ridiculous. Young Jesus is portrayed by a young man with blue eyes, blond hair, and the whitest skin I've ever seen on someone from the middle east. All in all though, the movie has some cool parts and is worth watching. I would recommend it.

4.Home for the Holidays starring: Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, Robert Downey Jr., Charles Durning, Dylan McDermott directed by: Jodie Foster October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.94
I first saw "Home for the Holidays" when it was released on video in 1995. A small film, lovingly directed by Jodie Foster and blessed with an extraordinary cast, I was stunned by its frenetic charm. To this day I recommend it to friends, most of whom have never heard of it. Equal parts comedy and drama, "Home for the Holidays" covers the Larson family reunion on Thanksgiving day. The oldest daughter Claudia (Holly Hunter) is a single mom just fired from her job at an art gallery in Chicago. While en route to the airport, her teenage daughter (Claire Danes) reveals her plans to have sex for the first time while mom is away. That's just one of many subplots interwoven into this colorful tapestry, as Claudia lands in Baltimore in the arms of her parents, portrayed by the indelible Charles ... Read More

6.The Slender Thread starring: Sidney Poitier, Anne Bancroft, Telly Savalas, Steven Hill, Edward Asner directed by: Sydney Pollack January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.95
Stirling Silliphant wrote the script for this movie, being the primary writer for the "Route 66" TV series in the 60's it has a very similar feeling to one of those shows. All of the drama, the monologues, the glitz and glamour (when appropriate)is there. The movie even opens with Sidney Potier driving by the Space Needle, how cool and kitch is that? An excellent film that needs to come out on DVD very soon - as does the Route 66 TV series! Stirling Silliphant was definitely one of the best TV writers of the 60's, he passed away in April of 2006. He will be missed. He also wrote the original Poseidon Adventure (1972) (screenplay), and the Towering Inferno! Two classic disaster movies of the 70's!

I saw apart of the movie on TV, but I didn't see it all. Actually, right now on september 18 2006 I started reading the book and am going to read the entire Tillerman series too. This is One of my Four top rated movies. And pretty much my top rated movies are the ones I'm adicted too. This is the greatest movie I've ever seen.I Love the character of Dicey. One I think she's the cutest.Mainly she's the oldest and she has the most responsibility. ActuallyI saw this movie about 2 or 3 years ago.And I remember it like it was yesterday too.It'll make you think your one of the Tillerman's in the movie. I'd reccomened this movie to anyone and everyone. Same with all of the Tillerman series books,even though I haven't read them all."YET"

9.Oscar's Greatest Moments - 1971 to 1991 starring: Karl Malden, F. Murray Abraham, Anne Bancroft, Kathy Bates, Ellen Burstyn directed by: Jeff Margolis December 07, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The video compiled some of the most memorable and infamous moments of the most popular award show in the world from 1971 up to 1991. I don't know the significance of the year span that they chose to include in this video, but it would've been interesting to see the earlier clips of the show. I like the Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russell clip when they presented an award in 1988. They poke fun at themselves as they acknowledge the fact that their relationship ranges from lovers, colleagues, and companions but never married. When Kurt Russell brought that up Goldie Hawn pretended to mistaken it for some sort of "proposal". The audience went nuts. That was really a funny moment and showed again the effectiveness of Hawn as a comedienne. There was also a great Elizabeth Taylor moment as she feigned to be uncomfortable following ... Read More

This was one of my favorite films. It was very nostalgic for booklovers and fans of Anthony Hopkins. He won't disappoint you.
