Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.04
[copied from Amazon DVD page] Plot Synopsis: Three days into his Miami honeymoon, New York Jewish Lenny meets tall, blonde Kelly. This confirms him in his opinion that he has made a serious mistake and he decides he wants Kelly instead. Her rich father is less than keen and lets everyone - including Lenny - know that he hates everything about him and the way he is going on.

I wanted to get this DVD cause I liked the show but when I noticed that the pilot by itself is more than the whole Season 1 I said forget it. Some idiots on here are asking $41 for it new that is so crazy high I'm not even gonna comment on it. I want to get just this episode for myself but its gonna have to come WAY down in price. Under $10 at least.

4.Texasville starring: Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Bottoms, Harvey Christiansen, Pearl Jones directed by: Peter Bogdanovich February 26, 1992

EVEN THOUGH MY SON, JIMMY HOWELL, PLAYED THE 10 YR. OLD TWIN OF JEFF BRIDGES AND ANNIE POTTS IN THIS MOVIE, and we were on the set the entire filming (Aug - Nov '89)......I am glad to read E. Currie's review below that states that "Texasville" "is now widely recgonized as an excellent film". I saw the hard work and long hours that Peter Bogdanovich and the crew spent on making this film. This was my first experience on a movie set. I think the movie is funny, yet sad, in showing the reality of so many lives; where people, situations and relationships are complicated and messy. Annie Potts said it best to me at the premier..."This movie is a reflection of true life, where there is no real ending..life just goes on!" I would suggest watching "The Last Picture Show" ...

5.Last Picture Show starring: Sam Bottoms, Timothy Bottoms, Eileen Brennan, Jeff Bridges, Gary Brockette June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.05
So, was Cinema Paradiso in part inspired by Bogdonovich's masterpiece? Well, Analene, Texas sure aint Paradise. But it's a fabulous, timeless piece of art that doesn't wear, inspite of, or because of its tender appraisal of universal themes. I know the personell involved proceeded to further work, but how many of them could profess to anything superior? Certainly not Bottoms or Bogdonovich. The special features film tied to this edition under review, with its in-depth focus on a refective director, expresses the very special chemistry that occured on the shoot between the crew. It clearly translates onto the screen. Having lived in such a desperate environment in the 1960s, in the semi-arid mallee region of Australia, the story, the characters, the very town,almost building for building, even the lake, were replicas ...

6.Taxi Driver starring: Diahnne Abbott, Frank Adu, Gino Ardito, Victor Argo, Garth Avery June 04, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
This is a very powerful film. It's very personal to me, because many of the problems Travis has can be related to me in ways. They can be related to everyone in ways. The problems of loneliness. The film expresses it through Travis in a deep, dark, and disturbing way. We connect to the character in his downfall.

7.Heartbreak Kid starring: Charles Grodin, Cybill Shepherd, Jeannie Berlin, Audra Lindley, Eddie Albert directed by: Elaine May January 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.00
From the opening scenes accompanied with the opening sound track the similarities with a much better comedy "The Graduate" becomes clear. The Simon and Garfunkel-sounding clone track to the very "odd" ending borrow heavily from "The Graduate" formula. Both films cover taboo topics and things that just weren't done in those days designed to shock and entertain the audience at the same time. Both make heavy use of the popular music soundtrack with Burt Bacharach's doing here what Simon & Garfunkel's did to much better effect on "The Graduate". I sympathise with another reviewer who's just as confused as I was a couple of years back with the choices for AFI best ever comedies and I think the selection criteria had nothing to do with films that necessarily make you laugh until you split your sides but more so films with ...

8.Dangerous Break starring: Bo Svenson, Cybill Shepherd, Tom Atkins, Sorrell Booke, Gerrit Graham directed by: Paul Wendkos October 03, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
Okay, this 1976 movie--"Dangerous Break" aka "Special Delivery"--is certainly no masterpiece, but it's really entertaining anyway. First and foremost, the acting is uniformly terrific. You've got the wonderful Cybill Shepherd in a role that couldn't be more up her alley, and she works it to the hilt, supplying the movie with her trademark charm and sly humor. As for Bo Svenson, I've seen this guy get ridiculed mercilessly in regard to his acting ability; he does a great job here though, delivering a convincing and, for the most part, slyly laidback performance. Svenson plays Jack Murdock, one of four guys who were all Marines in the Vietnam War together. After the war, with several of them having suffered drastic injuries, as well as having trouble on the job front, they decide to rob a bank. While ... Read More

9.Once Upon a Crime starring: Joss Ackland, Alessandro Amen, Geoffrey Andrews, Francesco Angrisano, James Belushi April 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
If you have a funnybone at all, you will delight in the first hour of this movie. John Candy is good, but he is surrounded by better in this movie. Sean Young and Richard Lewis start the movie popping with their zany playing off each other, then Jim Belushi gives a histrionic tour de force, made funnier by Cybil Shepherd's absolutely perfect reactions; many beyond droll. She is comedic perfection. These five actors make the dumbest dialogue sound like it was crafted by Preston Sturges. The director keeps the rhythm cracking along and laughs piling up. The movie does fall off at last but you don't mind by then. This movie got one star in my local tv guide; go figure. If the last thirty minutes would have matched the first hour, this would be a comic classic.
