1.Assault on a Queen starring: Frank Sinatra, Virna Lisi, Anthony Franciosa, Richard Conte, Alf Kjellin directed by: Jack Donohue January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.19
Welcome to my review. This particular version of the movie Assault on a Queen(VHS) is ample yet rare so if you see it cheap grab it before somebody else does to sell it on eBay. I take it you don't jump over tall buildings in a single bound or lay down with lions but if you do then this movie will still impress you I'm sure. Take the world famous Steamship HMS Queen Mary and chances are you've never seen her. Or for that matter noticed her even in photographs. But she's real and big for her age and at the time of this movie well dressed and rich... to staggering proportions. Not at all what would come to mind for the most of us. Frank Sinatra... my favourite male actor of all time plays an American, well, and in so doing gives this film some character that although appreciated ... Read More

2.Death Wish 2 starring: Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, Vincent Gardenia, J.D. Cannon, Anthony Franciosa directed by: Michael Winner May 15, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.49
I'm at a point in my life where watching movies like this kind of goes against my nature. But that said, this is probably a better movie than a lot of people would like to admit. very quickly, these movies were made at a time when people felt helpless, and people wanted a hero like the dangerous architect. Charles Bronson never really looks for trouble, but it has a way of finding him. Many would chalk this up as of course being required for the sequel, but there is some realism to this. (The character who doesn't look for trouble, but is often found by trouble.) The movie wastes little time. Charles visits his injured daughter (from part 1) and is trying to start his life over. He runs into some thugs, but Charles flips the tables on them. Not being too bright, the thugs decide ... Read More

3.Period of Adjustment starring: Anthony Franciosa, Jane Fonda, Jim Hutton, Lois Nettleton, John McGiver directed by: George Roy Hill December 11, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $34.89
This is a very funny movie. I wish that it were available in DVD format.

4.Long Hot Summer (1958) starring: Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Anthony Franciosa, Orson Welles, Lee Remick directed by: Martin Ritt January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.55
Love this movie! I cannot tell you how many times I have seen this movie. All the actors are excellent in this and Paul.....whew, looks Great!!

5.Career (1959) starring: Dean Martin, Anthony Franciosa, Shirley MacLaine, Carolyn Jones, Joan Blackman directed by: Joseph Anthony November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.95
Anthony Franciosa stars as a young actor who goes to New York with big dreams and, of course, finds that it's a lot harder to make it on the stage than he realized. Dean Martin co-stars as his director/buddy, Shirley MacLaine is the alcoholic daughter of a famed Broadway producer with whom both men get involved, and Carolyn Jones is a former actress turned successful agent. There's nothing in this material that is original or especially fresh, since it follows a basic plotline we've seen before. Franciosa comes on strong (and sometimes too strong) as the idealistic actor who must decide how much idealism he can afford. Martin is solid and understated, while MacLaine chews the scenery when allowed. Jones creates the most memorable character, mixing in pathos, humour, and a world-weary experience. It's ... Read More

6.Rio Conchos starring: Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman, Anthony Franciosa, Jim Brown, Wende Wagner directed by: Gordon Douglas January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.00
Richard Boone carries this rather uneven Western, with superb support from a stellar cast, although Whitman's role is disappointingly small - THE COMANCHEROS is a better choice for Whitman fans. Boone's is a rare blend of tough-guy savagery and rough-edged humanity, and contemporary Hollywood is starved for the authentic manliness that actors like Boone once brought to the screen. Factor in his distinctively droll humor, and you have that indefinable Star Power so elusive today. Granted, the film - as noted in previous reviews - is startlingly violent, but it is not gratuitously so. On the contrary, the movie trades Hollywood-style storytelling for realism. There are no "good soldiers" or "bad Indians" ... Read More

7.A Face in the Crowd starring: Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Anthony Franciosa, Walter Matthau, Lee Remick directed by: Elia Kazan September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.94
Andy Griffith, in his acting debut, certainly isn't the Andy Taylor we all love. Here, he plays "Lonesome" Rhodes, a charming drifter that catches the eye and fancy of Patricia O'Neil. She puts him on her radio station and he becomes a star. His folksy ways and "every man" personality is played to the hilt, taking along O'Neil, his ever-growing audience, and even a presidential candidate in his masquerade. Not too soon, "Lonesome" is revealed as what he is - not the Will Rogers that his public sees, but a power-mad snake oil salesman that is taking his followers with him. The viewer sees the act, as O'Neil eventually does, too, but in the meantime, Rhodes is remaking the image of Senator Worthington Fuller to make him the next president of the United States. If you love classic b&w cinema, morality tales, ... Read More

8.City Hall starring: Al Pacino, John Cusack, Bridget Fonda, Danny Aiello, Martin Landau directed by: Harold Becker June 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
The film concerns a classic theme. In fact it concerns the theme exploited by Batman, from beginning to end, but in real data and details. The mayor of New York, appreciated and very diligent and dynamic, in order to get some project through slightly faster than normal, yields to some pressure from some private business contractors about a criminal drug dealer who should have been sent and kept in prison and he pressurizes the judge in his turn to set him free on probation in spite of a negative probation report that disappears but is not destroyed, be it only because of the political value it represents. And what was to happen happens and a few people, including a black schoolboy is killed in a shoot out between a police detective and that criminal. The city may explode because of it: racial tension because of the black school ... Read More

9.Across 110th Street starring: Anthony Quinn, Yaphet Kotto, Anthony Franciosa, Frank Adu, Frank Arno directed by: Barry Shear September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.86
this movie has a nice story but lacks action. It starts out with it, then the action declines.

10.Firepower starring: Sophia Loren, James Coburn, O.J. Simpson, Eli Wallach, Anthony Franciosa directed by: Michael Winner January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
Firepower is a surprisingly good late 70's thriller with James Coburn and Sophia Loren. All of the key elements are here--"faceless" billionaire a la Howard Hughes, the saavy renegade in James Coburn, and Sophia Loren looking as striking and stylish as always--while making you wonder what side she's on. The plot--bringing the billionaire to justice--is a so so one...but the aforementioned elements as well as several exotic Caribbean locales make this a worthwhile thriller with a good ending.
