1.Gone with the Wind starring: Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil, Vivien Leigh, Evelyn Keyes, Ann Rutherford directed by: Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood October 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.64
"Gone with the Wind" is a fabulous film, the film by which all others are gauged. It debuted in 1939, perhaps the year that produced the most high quality films of all time. Watching this film is like viewing a great painting. Every time I watch it I get something new. I also detect subtleties and insights I never recognized when I was younger. I won't attempt to summarize this well-known film, because I see that there have been over seven hundred reviews before this one. I will tell you about a personal experience that some reviewers might find interesting. Many years ago when I was a medical student, I spent three months as an observer on a psychiatric ward containing patients with mixed diagnoses. One of the patients was an inconspicuous old lady diagnosed ... Read More

2.Return to Salem's Lot starring: Michael Moriarty, Ricky Addison Reed, Samuel Fuller, Andrew Duggan, Evelyn Keyes directed by: Larry Cohen December 13, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.23
This is a slap in the face to the original and even to the remake with Rob Lowe, not to mention Stephen King. They even have a picture on the cover of Barlow who died in the first one. The acting is terrible, the film sucks. That's right it sucks!! I wish they had a negative star, because this deserves -5 stars..

5.Union Pacific starring: Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Akim Tamiroff, Robert Preston, Lynne Overman directed by: Cecil B. DeMille March 28, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
Well, it must be a good movie, since I never forgot what I have seen when I was 11. This movie was one of the first we got to watch in Bavaria, after the war. I am a little older now, but would like to see it again, mayby in the original, why not? Johannes.

6.Lady in Question starring: Brian Aherne, Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, Irene Rich, George Coulouris directed by: Charles Vidor June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.80
A charming, cute movie, the first to pair Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, directed by Charles Vidor. Brian Aherne is funny and touching as Andre Morestan, the family man who finds himself a jury member on the case of young Natalie Roguin (Hayworth) accused of murdering her lover. After she is acquitted, Andre takes pity on the poor girl and gives her a job in his bicycle shop, as well as providing room and board, but concealing her true identity from his family. His son, Pierre (Ford), however, knows who she is as he stole into the courthouse one day during the trial. His obvious attraction to her is sweetly presented, with his clattering case of butterfingers. Only when he begins to suspect that she is having an affair with his father, does he reveal that he knows her true identity. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, the ... Read More

7.Seven Year Itch starring: Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Sonny Tufts, Robert Strauss directed by: Billy Wilder May 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.05
The only thing this movie has going for it is Marilyn Monroe, and that's just not enough. Tom Ewell plays a blundering fool who loses his competence at the very sight of her. If there are laughs in this advertised comedy, I must have dozed off at the time. The setting is New York of a bygone era, complete with Automats and sans universal air conditioning. I lived there then. Ewell's wife and family have gone to the sticks to avoid the summer heat, and Monroe has taken the apartment upstairs. Ewell's mouth falls open at the scent of her, as he tries to woo her into his--his--he's not sure what, but to his lair, for starters. There's the famous scene of MM standing over the subway grid and having her skirt blow up to reveal her legs. The giant cutout of that on Times Square revealed more than is revealed ... Read More

8.The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind starring: Christopher Plummer, L. Jeffrey Selznick, Arthur E. Arling, Katherine Brown (III), Arthur Fellows directed by: David Hinton September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.90
This film is superb. I've watched it over and over again. And it's every bit as good as GWTW. I'm sure that David Selznick taught his sons the art of film making and it's obvious. One will only be as good as his teacher. A must for every film buff. Carolyn Kingsley, author of The Citrus Baron A family saga of old Florida

9.Slightly Honorable starring: Eve Arden, Edward Arnold, Janet Beecher, Phyllis Brooks, Cliff Clark March 04, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.69
The opening joke, immediately after the credits, is great! And the exposition anticipates Bogart's IN A LONELY PLACE by several years, except the wrong female gets murdered. Broderick Crawford provides an easy-going, endearing performance without a hint of his later lockjaw screen personality. And the supporting cast--especially the adult women--are fine. But this attempt to combine Sturges satire, screwball comedy, and "My Friend Irma" is done in by the irritating, obnoxious heroine of the piece who keeps popping up when one wishes she'd be shutting up. The Irma-esque caricature is utterly unfunny and, repeatedly identifying herself as nearly jail-bait age, her romance with the much older O'Brien is as irrational as it is disturbing. And what happens to Eve Arden is an unpleasant shock as well.
