1.Going My Way starring: Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, Frank McHugh, James Brown, Gene Lockhart directed by: Leo McCarey March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.13
Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics) The Bells of St. Mary's If you like musicals, these two are some of the best. They don't get any better than this.

2.The Quiet Man starring: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen directed by: John Ford February 17, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
"The Quiet Man" is a must for any John Wayne collection. One more piece of proof that "The Duke" was one of the most versatile actors to ever grace the stage. This DVD is a great value, the interviews are priceless, this history behind the making of this cinema classic value added. You will not go wrong by adding this to your collection.

3.Catered Affair starring: Bette Davis, Ernest Borgnine, Debbie Reynolds, Barry Fitzgerald, Rod Taylor directed by: Richard Brooks September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.95
Dreary settings, dreary story, dreary moralistic ending. Bette Davis attempts a lower-class New York Irish accent, with little success, and there is absolutely no chemistry between her and Ernest Borgnine, doing a rehash of his Marty role with a bitter edge. Debbie Reynolds in a non-comic role is surprisingly good, but also unconvincing as the poor daughter of a cab driver. Barry Fitzgerald provides a much-needed spark of life, and, of course, is the only one with a convincing characterization. The story wraps up conveniently with the central characters having sudden, inexplicable changes of heart. Definitely a disappointment.

4.Two Years Before the Mast (B&W) starring: Alan Ladd, Brian Donlevy, William Bendix, Barry Fitzgerald, Howard Da Silva directed by: John Farrow March 31, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $29.82
An all star cast under the fine direction of John Farrow gave a quality performance in "Two Years Before the Mast" based on a 1840 novel by Richard Henry Dana. Dana's book was an expose of the deplorable conditions that merchant seaman were forced to live under while asea and under the orders of the ship's captain. In this film Alan Ladd stars as Charles Stewart a spoiled dandy and son of a wealthy Boston shipping magnate in the 1830's. He accidently is pressed into service aboard one of his father's merchant ships the S.S. Pilgrim. The Pilgrim is commanded by the unsympathetic Capt. Thompson played marvelously by Howard DaSilva. DaSilva cares nothing about the well being of his crew allowing them to starve, contract scurvey and get flogged mercilessly. Also aboard is author Dana who is serving ... Read More

5.Sea Wolf (1941) starring: Edward G. Robinson, Ida Lupino, John Garfield, Alexander Knox, Gene Lockhart directed by: Michael Curtiz September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $25.95
Edward G. Robinson puts his own brand of cruelty on the role of a freighter captain who tyrannizes his crew and some unexpected passengers (Ida Lupino, John Garfield, Alexander Knox) in this taut, suspenseful psychological melodrama with no shortage of brooding atmosphere. Based on the famous Jack London story of Wolf Larsen (Robinson), the callous and inhuman skipper of a schooner, who proceeds to make life hell for his crew and his unwilling passengers rescued from a sinking ferryboat. Lupino and Garfield are a couple of losers with a past; Knox is a mild-mannered novelist. The romantic angle between Garfield and Ida is underplayed with the accent more on the brooding tension aboard the schooner. Under Michael Curtiz' direction, all the performances are first-rate and Erich Wolfgang Korngold's ... Read More

6.Bringing Up Baby starring: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Walter Catlett, Barry Fitzgerald directed by: Howard Hawks October 14, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.25
Howard Hawkes can do it all. The screwball comedy was never better and alas never will be better. I suppose you could say this is a gimmick picture as they use a live leopard in a number of scenes. The Cary Grant brontosaurus has a small part as well. Hepburn sees Cary the four-eyed prof and goes after the befuddled handsome man with everything a 1930's girl has. Madcap motor-mouth one liners rip away. Cary is embarrassed, disgraced, and horrified for ninety minutes till Hepburn cannot be denied. Amazing fast pace and editing for one of the finest comedies ever made; it can be watched again and again.

7.Welcome Stranger starring: Ariane Allen, Don Beddoe, Lillian Bronson, Joan Caulfield, Bing Crosby June 20, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $94.99
My favorite Bing Crosby movie.It has romance,comedy & of course music. Would love to see it on DVD as VHS is all that is avaliable for purchase. A truly great family movie with a great cast. Would buy as soon as it comes out. Thanks: David S.

8.How Green Was My Valley starring: Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Anna Lee, Donald Crisp, Roddy McDowall directed by: John Ford March 01, 1995

Best picture Oscar Winner for that year, family oriented, very much enjoy waching this movie.

9.Dawn Patrol (1938) starring: Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, David Niven, Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper directed by: Edmund Goulding December 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.29
Truly an enjoyable WWI movie. The aerial scenes were outstanding (Note: These were borrowed from the 1930 movie by the same name). The casting was on the mark. Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, David Niven and Donald Crisp (Excellent actor) were perfectly cast. Plus, the brief but well acted role of the captured German aviator by Carl Esmond. The pressures and guilt of being a squadron commander and sending friends, colleagues, and inexperienced pilots against overwhelming odds to certain death. Then coping with the aftermath and being blamed and taking blame for their deaths. Being a responsible leader was a difficult and lonely job which leads to coping methods such as heavy drinking to get numb to it. This movie does a remarkable job of showing how courageous the WWI pilots were in going up on a daily basis on sorties knowing that ... Read More

10.Amazing Mrs Holliday starring: Deanna Durbin, Edmond O'Brien, Barry Fitzgerald, Arthur Treacher, Harry Davenport directed by: Bruce Manning, Jean Renoir January 19, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.99
In arguably the most unusual film in Deanna Durbin's career, THE AMAZING MRS HOLLIDAY showcases the songbird as a courageous missionary worker in Southern China who rescues a ragtag group of orphans and takes them to America. Playing Ruth Kirke, a selfless missionary teacher, Deanna Durbin found one of her most challenging and rewarding screen roles. Ruth masquerades as the widow of Captain Holliday, who died when their cargo vessel was bombed by Japanese forces. Home in America, Ruth is able to provide a safe and secure home for her extended family of orphans within the Holliday mansion, but when she starts having romantic overtures from her "grandson" (Edmond O'Brien), just how will she continue playing her alter-ego of Mrs Holliday? Originally slated to be directed by the renowned Jean Renoir, THE ... Read More
