1.The Rounders starring: Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Sue Ane Langdon, Hope Holiday, Chill Wills directed by: Burt Kennedy April 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
This amiable modern Western benefits enormously from the casting of the great genre veterans Henry Fonda and Glenn Ford as two veteran cowboys ,forever on the verge of abandoning their nomadic lifestyle and settling down ,but never quite making it.The movie revolves around their attempts to tame an especially recalitrant bronco named Ol Fooler-who it is suggested is a little like the two men in being stubborn ,hard to tame and determined to go his own way but likeable and who eventually will be coerced back into the mainstream There is not a tightly constructed plot as such ,more a series of incidents heavy on the humour which -be aware ,is often slightly risque (there is a shot of bare bottoms for example which may bother the more prudish ). Ford and Fonda are wonderful ... Read More

2.The Maltese Falcon starring: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George, Peter Lorre, Barton MacLane directed by: John Huston January 16, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
"The Maltese Falcon" is a great movie because of its great actors and tight dialogue. Bogart, as the cynical but ultimately ultramoral, Sam Spade, is great as are his antitheses, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet and Mary Astor. Spade is suckered by a beautiful woman [Astor] into what turns out to be the criminal enterprise of locating the 'Maltese Falcon', a ceramic bird worth millions. Men and women fight and die to gain its possession. The plot is convoluted but convincing and, finally, after the murder of several illicit wealth-seekers, the Falcon is located it and is found to be a phony. The cops lead the beautiful Astor who, while still proclaiming her 'love' for Bogart, off to her well-deserved punishment. Bogart, as Spade, has the opportunity to set her free but...does the 'right' ... Read More

3.Let's Dance starring: Betty Hutton, Fred Astaire, Roland Young, Ruth Warrick, Lucile Watson directed by: Norman Z. McLeod July 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.95
What does it take for this studio to get into the 21st century and put their movies on DVD? There is a block of musical lovers and Betty Hutton lovers that want to buy this movie but we dont own VCRs anymore! Besides anything with this cast has to be fun ,but not on VCR! At least not on my plasma tv!!!

4.The Glenn Miller Story starring: James Stewart, June Allyson, Harry Morgan, Charles Drake, George Tobias directed by: Anthony Mann March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.28
If you love Jimmy Stewart, this is the movie for you. Jimmy Stewart portrayed Glenn Miller with style and grace. Love it! The scenes with the service men is very special to my family as my father was in this film and can be clearly seen. When this movie was on TV when I was growing up, we always watched it no matter the time of day. Now we can watch it over and over and pause it to get a better look.

5.Treasure of Sierra Madre (B&W) starring: Alfonso Bedoya, Bruce Bennett, Robert Blake, Humphrey Bogart, Roberto Cañedo February 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.95
Serpentine story of how three gold-diggers are perverted by their success. Well-acted and strikingly directed. Has interesting parallels to Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" in its contrasting portrayal of Mexicans.

7.All Through the Night starring: Humphrey Bogart, Conrad Veidt, Kaaren Verne, Jane Darwell, Frank McHugh directed by: Vincent Sherman January 17, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.44
Nazi fifth columnists, led by sinister, sadistic Peter Lorre as Pepi, are infiltrating a city, and big-time gambler Humphrey Bogart is there to weed them out. When a popular baker is found murdered, Bogart investigates. He's led to a warehouse and discovers a room filled with Nazi paraphernalia and a book that explains what happened to the baker (he also gets a lot of help from Kaaren Verne, who has been forced to play along with the Nazis). In a fiery climax, while a motorboat packed with explosives is being directed toward a battleship to blow it up, Bogart takes control, sees Lorre get killed, and then steers the boat away from the ship before diving overboard to safety. He gets a hero's welcome, of course, and Verne. Lorre is excellent as the evil Pepi, killing at will and at another point smashing the fingers of a guy after losing ... Read More

8.Geisha Boy starring: Jerry Lewis, Marie McDonald, Sessue Hayakawa, Barton MacLane, Suzanne Pleshette directed by: Frank Tashlin August 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.35
In THE GEISHA BOY, Jerry Lewis provides a performance with equal shades of subtlety and comic brilliance. The colourful backdrop of Japan is a treat to see, and the supporting cast is equally fine. Small-time magician Gilbert "The Great" Wooley (Jerry Lewis) and his rabbit Harry are part of a USO tour of Japan, but the visit takes an unexpected turn when Harry catches the attention of a shy little orphaned Japanese boy and his concerned aunt. Gilbert is the only one who seems to draw the boy out of his sorrows, and pretty soon a romance has blossomed with Aunt Kimi (Nobu McCarthy), too. But will Gilbert be able to leave everything in order to be with them? THE GEISHA BOY allowed Jerry Lewis the opportunity to play some dramatic material; his scenes with Robert Hirano (as the little Mitsuo Watanabe) are adorable. This ... Read More

9.Prince & The Pauper (1937) starring: Errol Flynn, Claude Rains, Henry Stephenson, Barton MacLane, Billy Mauch directed by: William Dieterle, William Keighley September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.36
The Prince and the Pauper Great family classic. Wonderful story. One of my all time favorites. The only problem is the sound. Since it's an original and an oldie, the sound isn't so great. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars.

10.Bullets Or Ballots (1936) starring: Edward G. Robinson, Joan Blondell, Barton MacLane, Humphrey Bogart, Frank McHugh directed by: William Keighley September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.75
Following his brutal portrayal in "The Petrified Forest," Bogart became a much more articulate and calculating killer in "Bullets or Ballots," a gangster thriller starring Edward G. Robinson as a crusading crime-buster, modeled after true-life cop Johnny Broderick, known as "the toughest cop on Broadway," who pretended to be thrown off the police force in order to infiltrate Bogart's gang and get the evidence to bring him to justice... Bogart revealed no emotion whatever as he goes about his gun-happy chores of shooting a respected newspaperman as well as his partner-in-crime, Barton MacLane, in his characteristic double-cross... The exciting finale found both Bogart and Robinson in a blazing showdown, an unusual ending for this period in film history, but one which Robinson had fought hard to retain... William Keighley ...
