1.The War Wagon starring: John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Howard Keel, Robert Walker Jr., Keenan Wynn directed by: Burt Kennedy May 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
The War Wagon was a hit when it was first released and is still a great film today. John Wayne and Kirk Douglas have just enough tension to really wonder if they will end up shooting each other or doing the hold up. Excellent addition to any family home film library.

2.Uncle Tom's Cabin starring: Avery Brooks, Kate Burton, Bruce Dern, Paula Kelly, Phylicia Rashad directed by: Stan Lathan November 17, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.05
This is a 90's film adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's important novel by the same title. This story, and the message of the story, is of utmost significance. It is a tale in 1850's America of slave trading -- buying and selling people like they were property, and of cruel treatment that would be unacceptable for even zoo animals. Obviously, plantation life for the slaves could vary from reasonably comfortable to incredbly inhumane, depending mainly on the owner. The film story demonstrates this well. There are glimpses of light: the strong Christian belief system and ethics among the slave population, and the good Samaritan acts and sacrifices of those who would aid them. But the general environment and theme is dark and the horror of the situation is self-evident. I ... Read More

3.Will Penny starring: Charlton Heston, Joan Hackett, Donald Pleasence, Lee Majors, Bruce Dern directed by: Tom Gries January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.10
Chuck in fine form as a crusty sodbuster but a bit dour throughout. Earnest performances help carry it along but it's not quite entertainment, is it ? I don't think I can recommend buying it but should prove a worthwhile curiosity as a Wednesday night rental.

4.The Great Gatsby starring: Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, Scott Wilson directed by: Jack Clayton January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.19
Perhaps some classics cannot be made into movies. THE GREAT GATSBY, which makes anybody's list of the great American novels, may just be one. Having just seen this film again for the first time since its release, I think I need to reread the novel. The chief flaw of the movie is the casting of Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan. While she certainly can act and become hysterical at the smell of a room full of roses, it is difficult to understand the power that she holds on Gatsby. While Redford makes an adequate if not outstanding Gatsby, Sam Waterston, a very fine actor indeed, is perfectly cast as Gatsby's neighbor. Bruce Dern works as the boorish Tom Buchanan, Karen Black isn't bad as his woman on the side, and Scott Wilson as her cuckolded husband who seeks revenge is well cast. The music by Nelson Riddle, ...

5.Support Your Local Sheriff starring: James Garner, Joan Hackett, Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan, Jack Elam directed by: Burt Kennedy September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.89
By 1969, revolution was in the air in the United States. All kinds of institutions were under question or attack. So it was a perfect time for the funniest spoof ever of the heroic Western. James Garner stars in "Support Your Local Sheriff" as Jason McCullough, who rides into the frontier town of Calendar. Calendar was a sleepy little outpost until the discovery of gold a short time before McCullough's arrival. Then all h--- broke loose. He's soon persuaded to take up the sheriff's badge, which is vacant (and dented) since all the previous sheriffs have been killed or fled. He insists he's really on his way to Australia, but doesn't seem to be in any real hurry to get there. Garner's charm, timing and delivery, as ever, are magnificent, and he's surrounded by a first-rate supporting cast. There's a love interest, ... Read More

6.St Valentine's Day Massacre starring: Jason Robards, George Segal, Ralph Meeker, Jean Hale, Clint Ritchie directed by: Roger Corman May 05, 1993

If you love Al Capone movies I promise you,you will love this one,for it to be a remake the coloring is beautiful and very historical.

7.The Burbs starring: Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Corey Feldman, Rick Ducommun directed by: Joe Dante March 12, 1992

8.Hang Em High starring: Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Pat Hingle, Ed Begley, Ben Johnson directed by: Ted Post April 08, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.86
I love the film but... We get a two sides dvd, labeled "standard" and "widescreen". Standard has 640x480 pixels video, 4:3 aspect ratio, and widescreen 853x480 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio. This is great, but the problem is both versions are truncated versions of the original. The widescreen is even more truncated ! If you compare two images, Clint has some blue sky above is hat in standard, and you see only half of his hat in widescreen ! I say it this way to makes things clear, but I'm a tech oriented guy, I checked twice what really was on this dvd before writing this review. The 16:9 version is cropped from the 4:3 ! This means both versions are missing the sides of the original wide image, but you see more of the original on the 4:3 ! It's a pity to see such classics so poorly transfered to DVD. We need a new edition with ... Read More

9.Cowboys starring: John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Browne, Bruce Dern, Colleen Dewhurst, Alfred Barker Jr. directed by: Mark Rydell May 19, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.38
One of my favorite John Wayne movies (with the Shootist, I must like him vulnerable lol.) His and the boys' growth together in knowledge & caring is the important story. Some objected to the ending, but "finishing the job" is important and the actions were no more violent than the times. The addition of Rosco Lee Brown was delightful and added a great deal to the film, more growth for the boys & even a bit for the main character. A proud and self-respecting, cultured Black man, in those days, is a treat to see in a movie. Bruce Dern was a tad over the top in being thoroughly vile, he's sooo good at that rofl. The music is swell too.
