2.Miracle of Morgan's Creek starring: Eddie Bracken, Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Porter Hall directed by: Preston Sturges January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.49
That Preston Sturges managed to get this perversion of the Christmas story past the censors is a miracle all on its own. Betty Hutton's and Eddie Bracken's peculiar talents are a perfect fit for this story about greatness thrust upon an unlikely recipient. Sturges's crazy combination of really smart banter, simple-minded slapstick and a perfect sense of comic timing works miracles with a great supporting cast: Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Julius Tannen and Porter Hall.

3.Summer Stock starring: Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Eddie Bracken, Gloria DeHaven, Marjorie Main directed by: Charles Walters April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
"Summer Stock" has always been one of my favorite movies. Because it's the type of old movie that everyone can enjoy. There's singing and dancing and lots of laughs and drama and theatrics. In this picture Miss Judy Garland (may she rest in peace) stars as Jane Falbury, a farmer who reluctantly allows a theater company to stay on at her farm to rehearse for their big performance. I know the story is a little hockey, but does that matter, really? This is the very first time I ever saw a picture with Mr. Gene Kelly (playing the male lead, Joe Ross) and he was absolutely perfect. Anyone could tell that there was a lot of magic and chemistry between him and Miss Garland because when they were on the screen together it was always amazing to watch. My favorite part in the movie ... Read More

4.The Brave Little Toaster To the Rescue starring: Thurl Ravenscroft, Timothy Stack, Brian Doyle-Murray, Deanna Oliver, Eric Lloyd directed by: Robert C. Ramirez May 25, 1999

I watched this with my Grandson, and we both loved it. He had the other two Toaster movies, and wanted this one, since he had never seen it. Alice Schmidt Appleton, WI

5.Hail the Conquering Hero starring: Eddie Bracken, Ella Raines, Raymond Walburn, William Demarest, Franklin Pangborn directed by: Preston Sturges March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.30
Top-notch Preston Sturges comedy about patriotism and small-town politics. Eddie Bracken plays the son of a WW I marine hero who has joined up for WW II with high hopes for glory, only to be discharged for hay fever. Embarrassed to go home to his mother and sweetheart (Ella Rains), he meets six marines in a bar one night (led by William Demerest) and before he knows what hit him, he's on his way home a decorated war hero (thanks to the snow job concocted by Demerest). The town goes ga-ga and ends up electing him mayor. He finally straightens things out at the end, but in the meantime we are treated to some of the best Sturges exploding humor on screen. The entire Sturges stock company is on hand, and especially good are Raymond Walburn as the windbag mayor Bracken defeats, Freddie Steele as a mother-loving ... Read More

6.Wind in the Willows (1987) starring: Eddie Bracken, José Ferrer, Coen Flink, Paul Frees, Roddy McDowall directed by: Arthur Rankin Jr., Jules Bass July 20, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $44.97
I adored this film as a child and as an adult I still love it and find myself humming the songs on occasion. I have seen numerous film versions of The Wind in the Willows and this one is something special. (I enjoy the Cosgrove Hall TV series as a TV series but still find this to be the best film adaptation of the original book.) The voices are perfect for the characters and the songs range from humorous to moving. My original copy of this film was taped from TV and even with commercials and severe weather warnings it was watched again and again. I now have the VHS and find I enjoy the humor in the film even more now that I am an adult and can appreciate the quality of this production. They just don't make animated films like this anymore. It has so much of the Edwardian spirit of the novel and the dignity... ... Read More

7.Assault at West Point starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Waterston, Mason Adams, Val Avery, Eddie Bracken directed by: Harry Moses May 21, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.78
These are the kind of true stories that make one's blood boil.The coup performed upon Cadet Johnson Whittaker and the subsequent court marshall is but another blight on the landscape of justice in America.The only Negro cadet in West Point was viciously attacked and left for dead.This action was blamed upon Whittaker as a sham which he had staged in order to gain attention and sympathy for his race.What transpires is the actual trial taken from the 12000 pages recorded over several months.The story is quite compelling,but alas the acting definitely is not.The words from A-list actors such as Samuel L.Jackson and Sam Waterston playing Whittaker's lawyers seem stilted and contrived.The blocking and lack of movement in this film are static and uninspired.John Glover so overacts that his role is somewhat laughable.In fact, all of the actors are charicatures ...

8.Rookie of Year starring: Bruce Altman, James Andelin, Eddie Bracken, Gary Busey, Tyler Ann Carroll July 16, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.63
I purchased this DVD after re-viewing it on a TV where I work out. This film was essentially unknown to the kids I showed it to (5th graders)since they hadn't been born yet. It was an enjoyable film with lots of humor, and the kids really liked it.

9.Caught in the Draft starring: Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Lynne Overman, Eddie Bracken, Clarence Kolb directed by: David Butler October 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.89
Not even Bob Hope, escorted by a raft of fine character actors, can save this poorly written attempt at wartime comedy, as his patented timing has little which which to work. The plot involves a Hollywood film star named Don Bolton (Hope), and his attempt to evade military service at the beginning of World War II, followed by his enlistment by mistake in a confused attempt to court a colonel's daughter (Dorothy Lamour). Bolton's agent, played by Lynne Overman, and his assistant, portrayed by Eddie Bracken, enlist with him and the three are involved in various escapades regarding training exercises, filmed in the Malibu, California, hills. Paramount budgeted handsomely for this effort, employing some of its top specialists, but direction by the usually reliable David Butler was flaccid, and this must be attributed to a missing comedic element in the scenario. ...

This is a brillant movie, the best ever done by Silvester Stallone, very involved and funny. 10/10
