1.Buccaneer starring: Yul Brynner, Claire Bloom, Charles Boyer, Inger Stevens, Henry Hull directed by: Anthony Quinn July 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.79
About 1959, I would have been 8 years old, my great aunt Louise saw "The Buccaneer" and had a stroke. She had a stroke each time she saw it. She saw it 5 more times and died. The term "Kentucky Long Rifle" did not exist prior to the battle of NO; {NO}; it was the "Pennsylvania Rifle" from 1739 to 1815. LaFitte's part is overstated. The exact Brit battle plan was delivered to Jackson by two of George washington's former spies, Owen Thomas and William Thomas, sr. On the frontier, the 1776 war for independence never paused but continued till the 1820s, with the Brits using Indian proxies wherever possible. The vastly outclassed Americans were driven to innovation and the Kentucky Long Rifle was one result. The way it happened was ... Read More

2.Master of the World starring: Vincent Price, Charles Bronson, Henry Hull, Mary Webster, David Frankham directed by: William Witney June 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.49
Terrific movie with another fine performance from Vincent Price. Also an early appearance of Charles Bronson is an added treat.

3.Stanley & Livingstone starring: Spencer Tracy, Nancy Kelly, Richard Greene, Walter Brennan, Charles Coburn directed by: Otto Brower, Henry King July 26, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.99
Lost in the flood of great films in Hollywood's greatest year (1939), Stanley and Livingstone pays more attention to historical fact than most so-called history films of that era. Of especial interest is the footage shot in Kenya by among others, the famous Osa Johnson. The African landscape and peoples shot by this second unit crew raise S&L far above the usual Tarzanesque studio back lot scenes that supposedly depict Africa (always jungle in those days, never veldt or mountains). Supervised by one Captain A. J. Klein, the actions shots involving actual Kenyans easily surpasses the competent and workmanlike Hollywood work of director Henry King. The attack by outraged locals (lots of Samburu and Maasai hired for the occasion, I would guess) on Stanley's expedition, ... Read More

4.Boys Town starring: Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull, Leslie Fenton, Gene Reynolds directed by: Norman Taurog March 29, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.50
The movie is great! It is a true story and should be viewed by everyone as it tells important truths that are often forgotten in todays society. The package arrived quickly and undamaged as promised.

5.The Fountainhead starring: Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey, Kent Smith, Robert Douglas directed by: King Vidor September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.58
Technically, this is one of the worst movies ever made. The acting is stilted, the music is predictable, and the set designs are pedantic. Gary Cooper hated his interpretation of the courtroom scene. Ayn fought tooth and nail with the studio heads to have it filmed exactly as she wrote it. Unfortunately she won. The heavy hand of novelist Ayn Rand's script is evident throughout. Fortunately, the theme of the story, a man's uncompromising individuality, more than makes up for the film's shortcomings. Throughout her life, Ayn, (pronounced eye-ann), Rand, influenced by her childhood experiences in communist Russia, campaigned for the rights of the individual over the collective. Her novel "The Fountainhead" was her crowning achievement in this direction. Although her ideas did not translate into film ... Read More

6.Three Comrades starring: Robert Taylor, Margaret Sullavan, Franchot Tone, Robert Young, Guy Kibbee directed by: Frank Borzage September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.95
Well-done heartbreaker scripted (partly) by F. Scott Fitzgerald - and the only picture he worked on where he was so credited (though to his anger much of the dialogue he wrote was ultimately changed). Set in Germany right after WW I, Margaret Sullavan plays the heart-throb of three returning German soldiers (Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone, and Robert Young), who now are partners in an auto repair company. Although all three of them love Sullavan, it's a testament to their friendship that when she decides to marry Taylor, the other two are actually happy for him. The tragedy comes in the fact that Sullavan is suffering from TB and hasn't much time to live. Sullavan is wonderful and this is one of her best performances on film. Her throaty voice and eloquence are most effective and are impossible not to respond to. ... Read More

7.Jessie James starring: Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Nancy Kelly, Randolph Scott, Henry Hull directed by: Henry King, Irving Cummings May 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.08
Jesse James was both outlaw and idol. He reacted in a way many would have liked to when wronged. Many have played the role of Jesse James, this classic remains one of the best. It is a must for any historical/western collector. With Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda and Randolph Scott playing the key characters you are in for a real treat in a movie you will watch over and over.

8.Babes in Arms starring: Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Charles Winninger, Guy Kibbee, June Preisser directed by: Busby Berkeley May 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.83
Possibly the best of the Garland/Rooney partnership movies (Babes on Broadway.Strike Up the Band) Collectors and fans will not be disappointed.

10.Great Waltz, The (1938) starring: Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravey, Miliza Korjus, Hugh Herbert, Lionel Atwill directed by: Victor Fleming, Josef von Sternberg, Julien Duvivier September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.38
I throughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any one who enjoys good music. The plot was entertaining and you were hoping that his wife would win out in the end. A good way to spend a couple of hours.
