1.Bond: For Your Eyes Only starring: Roger Moore, Carole Bouquet, Topol, Lynn-Holly Johnson, Julian Glover directed by: John Glen October 19, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I just watched this movie for the first time and didn't see the Moore films as they came out, so my opinion isn't colored by nostalgia or affection for Roger Moore. In fact, I had only started watching the classic Bond films a few years ago. I've always been a bit lukewarm to Moore's portrayal of 007 as he seemed a bit overly formal and stiff when compared to the graceful yet rugged qualities of Sean Connery and more recently, Daniel Craig. However, most of the reviews from Bond fans I've read seemed to indicate that this film and the Spy Who Loved Me were the two best Moore films; with people citing FYEO as having the "back to basics" approach to the franchise with Ian Fleming style espionage at the forefront. While it compares favorably to the rest of the Moore films, ... Read More

2.All the Mornings of the World (Tous les matins du monde) starring: Gérard Depardieu, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Anne Brochet, Guillaume Depardieu, Carole Richert directed by: Alain Corneau September 11, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
I didn't realize as I watched the film the first time that it was inspired by actual lives -- Sainte-Colombe and Marin Marais are important figures in the history of music -- nor was it clear to me, until I did some research, how the film connected with important theological controversies of the 17th century. Hearing that Sainte-Colombe was "a reformer," I took that to mean that he was a Calvinist and thus was confused to see him, in a later scene, in what was clearly a Catholic church. (The film makes me want to know more about Jansenism, about which until now all I knew was that it was linked with an extreme and gloomy asceticism. Until now I hadn't thought of it as a stream of Catholicism profoundly influenced of Calvinism.) It was striking to see how Sainte-Colombe's form of Christianity, as ... Read More

3.Lucie Aubrac starring: Carole Bouquet, Daniel Auteuil, Patrice Chéreau, Jean-Roger Milo, Eric Boucher directed by: Claude Berri July 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.89
Lucie Aubrac is a delirious, absorbing and engaging drama in the middle of the bloody WW2. this was a true story of Lucie and Raymond Aubrac, when at the outbreak of the War, this couple decides to join the French Resistance. Raymond is Jewish, and is captured by the nazis and condemned to death. But she will risk her life to make a smart plan to liberate him. Carole Boucquet and Daniel Auteil make a solid and effective team in a tour de force and towering performance, that, supported by this driving force director- Claude Beeri (Germinal, Jean de Florette) make a worthy to collect movie.

4.The Bridge starring: Charles Berling, Carole Bouquet, Manuela Caino, Christiane Cohendy, Joël Coquet directed by: Frédéric Auburtin March 13, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $14.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.97
All one can say about this movie is that it is NOT a great love story but a union that begat from "cheating". Set in the 60's, it's merely a 15-year marital itch for a beautiful woman, mother of a 15-year old and wife of a blue-collar construction worker. The story begins when Mina takes to the movies with her 15-year old son, while her husband, George, currently unemployed, hangs out at the bar rather than with his family. She blatently allows herself to be picked up by the man seated next to her, and he offers to take her and her son to join him for drink and dance. He is an engineer in charge of construction of a new bridge miles away. She falls for him, and the son quickly figures what is going on. She has now imposed the burden of the affair onto her son. We don't ... Read More

5.James Bond 007 Gift Set Vol. 1 starring: Sean Connery, Ursula Andress, Bernard Lee, Robert Shaw, Lotte Lenya directed by: Guy Hamilton, John Glen, Terence Young November 07, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.89
This is the origin of the film series and cultural phenomenon that is James Bond. Sean Connery defined James Bond in Dr. No and proceeded to set a bar that complicated the lives of every other Bond actor that had to follow him. In the set you can see the universal conventions of Bond that set over time but also see the flexibility in story lines that allowed the Bond series to remain very topical. It's fun to start at the beginning and watch the series tone and sensibility change slowly over time. Each of the DVDs has additional bonuses such as documentaries on everything from the Bond girls to the effects to Ian Fleming and other goodies such as theatrical trailers and music videos. If you really love Bond you should own them all so that you can visit your favorite Bond actors and stories over and over ... Read More

6.That Obscure Object of Desire starring: Fernando Rey, Carole Bouquet, Ángela Molina, Julien Bertheau, André Weber directed by: Luis Buñuel September 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.54
I enjoy this movie more each time I watch it. In "That Obscure Object of Desire," Fernando Rey plays Mathieu, an aging man whose folly is to fall for a very young lady who takes a job as a domestic in his household. Having been widowed for seven years, he sets out to assuage his loneliness by winning this Conchita's affections. Somewhat enigmatic (and played by two actresses, it should be noted), Conchita sometimes seems noble; other times, she seems like a downright user. Mathieu tries to woo her with little gifts when visiting her and her mother in a dilapidated suburban Paris hole-in-the-wall. When that doesn't seem to work, he clumsily attempts to buy her love outright. When spurned, like a little boy, he momentarily acts out in a gesture of revenge. This tale is delightfully related in retrospect by Mathieu to ... Read More

7.Business Affair starring: Christopher Walken, Carole Bouquet, Jonathan Pryce, Sheila Hancock, Anna Manahan directed by: Charlotte Brandstrom June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.55
Carole Bouquet is still one of the most beautiful actress ever born. Her face is a real Symphony; and her alluring fits perfectly with this role: she is a gorgeous model happily married with a talented but neglected novelist, he is possessively neurotic and needs her as a child needs her mother, but by these destiny's trickeries she has the chance to meet the editor of the firm in which his husband is hired, an entrepreneur, ambitious who is immediately attracted to her. She will be the driving force in this formidable comedy that will make us to reflect about a question without answer: Does the ideal man exist for such woman? . Some lines are particularly incisive and acidic in this clever plot, a brilliant film measure by measure.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.92
It's nice to see some authentic, good quality footage from CBGBs, but the movie itself really sucks. And the Warhol appereance only lasts for a couple of minutes. Five stars for the music, one star for the movie.
