1.Caine Mutiny starring: Humphrey Bogart, José Ferrer, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray, Robert Francis directed by: Edward Dmytryk June 23, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.45
I've always enjoyed this movie, except for one thing. The actor who plays Willie Keith- Robert Francis- is awful. I think a wooden indian could have delivered a better performance. One of the plot elements of the movie is that Ensign Keith is well connected, Francis must have been as well, because he never deserved being awarded this pivotal role. Everyone else does a creditable job,and Jose Ferrer and Humphrey Bogart are outstanding. The movie ends just at the right point- not like Wouk's overlong book, where Keith takes command of the Caine.

2.Abbott & Costello Meet The Invisible Man starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Nancy Guild, Arthur Franz, Adele Jergens directed by: Charles Lamont August 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.57
Students graduate from the Dugan Detective School, among them Bud and Lou. They begin working the night shift and get their first client, who takes them to a house. Tommy Nelson wants the serum to make himself invisible! It's the only way he can escape the police. They don't believe Lou, and have him examined. There is a skit over passing the bucks. The special effects are good. Lou demonstrates his boxing skills at the gym. "Louie the Looper" will get a match with Rocky Hanlon. There is a plan to catch those responsible for killing O'Hara, the manager of Tommy Nelson. The skits are funny, but you can see the boys are older and less active. The story continues with drama and comedy. Invisible Tommy will punch Rocky in the ring. But Tommy leaves the ring to listen to Morgan. He returns ... Read More

3.Member of the Wedding starring: Ethel Waters, Julie Harris, Brandon De Wilde, Arthur Franz, Nancy Gates directed by: Fred Zinnemann June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.98
I found the acting and directing excellent, but the storyline itself was quite repetitious and increasingly boring. Despite having a main fascinating character--who seemed to border on mental illness--there wasn't enough plot development to sustain my interest and develop sympathy for that character.

4.Eddie Cantor Story starring: Keefe Brasselle, Marilyn Erskine, Aline MacMahon, Arthur Franz, Alex Gerry directed by: Alfred E. Green September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.95
Eddie Cantor was a popular entertainer from the beginning of the 20th century. He grew up in the slums of New York, finding himself in trouble with the local gangs, though at heart he was always a good boy (Richard Monda). Fearful that her son might grow up the wrong way, his grandmother (Aline MacMahon) lets him go on the stage with Gus Edwards (Hal March). He (Keefe Brasselle) grows up to be quite the attention hog, but always a good hearted man. Slowly, his fame rises, but with each new set of hands to applaude, Cantor becomes even more restless in the pursuit of fame, even at the expense of his wife (Marilyn Erskine), children, and health. There are many other famous names peppered throughout the film including Florenz Ziegfeld, Will Rogers and Jimmy Durante. There are also ... Read More

5.Carpetbaggers starring: George Peppard, Alan Ladd, Robert Cummings, Martha Hyer, Elizabeth Ashley directed by: Edward Dmytryk June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.66
Probably my favorite ALL TIME movie. I watch it not just for the story but also for the subtle facial expressions at certain moments...ohhh when Jonas decided he just found his lead actress in Rina, smirking as she was distributing the sandwiches to the out of work crew...his expression...Pappard is the epitome of cool...The whole film is Americana sine qua non just as American Grafitti is...The one liners are pricesless...Miss Baker is beyond perfect...LOVED IT! ALWAYS WILL!

VHS sucks, but this is one of the better sci fi/horror entries from the 1950's. Let's get this and a few others on DVD already.

9.Invaders From Mars starring: Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Jimmy Hunt, Leif Erickson, Hillary Brooke directed by: William Cameron Menzies February 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.63
Movie captured my imagination and held it entire length. Never boring throughout and I was anxious to see how it would end! Saw movie long ago and stirred the same memories up again of an enjoyable yet scary and entertaining movie. Still sends chills as if it were a true story that could possibly happen in real life if aliens did invade our earth. Good color and clarity! Music background excellent as was storyline. Enjoyable and truly a keeper!

10.Sands of Iwo Jima (Aniv) starring: John Wayne, John Agar, Adele Mara, Forrest Tucker, Wally Cassell directed by: Allan Dwan June 16, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
''The Sands of Iwo Jima'' covers far more than the Marine invasion of Iwo Jima in World War II. The film follows the seemingly real Sergeant John Stryker (John Wayne) and the men he was commanded over a period of a year or so in the South Pacific. While the film's script is only loosely based on actual events, it's not hard to believe the men in the film and events that they experienced could very well have happened in real-life. The film opens with the U.S. Marines regrouping in New Zealand after the fight for Guadalcanal had ended. Sergeant Stryker is assigned to command a platoon of Marines who are anxious to see some action. Stryker's hard-bitten, by-the-book command style (''Saddle-up! Saddle-up!'') soon rankles many of the men, especially Private Thomas (Forrest Tucker) who had fought alongside him before, and ... Read More
