1.It's a Wonderful Life starring: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers directed by: Frank Capra September 19, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Frank Capra's meditation on the connections each man builds to those around him is the pure, distilled essence of holiday spirit. In a world that's forever beating us down with reminders of our isolation and of the lack of meaning in our lives, this is a bright and shiny rebuttal. I don't know that anyone but Jimmy Stewart could play the nice guy who always does the right thing and inject that character with the darkness necessary to turn a schmaltzy premise into a profound statement of each man's place in his world. A great supporting cast (including Thomas Mitchell, Gloria Grahame, Ward Bond, Henry Travers and Beulah Bondi) led by a brilliant director. Nicely remastered print. And while the extra features were just lifted from 80s TV broadcasts, they do have interesting information ... Read More

2.Strategic Air Command starring: James Stewart, June Allyson, Frank Lovejoy, Barry Sullivan, Alex Nicol directed by: Anthony Mann May 05, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.79
Dutch Holland (James Stewart) was in the Air Force during WWII, but once his term was over, he picked up his old life again and joined a baseball league. He even got married to a beautiful and loving woman named Sally (June Allyson). One day, just when things are looking good for the family, he's asked to leave his job and join the Air Force again. Sally doesn't think he will, but he agrees quickly and loves his job. Despite the danger involved with flying, Dutch takes to it like a duck in water. He soon becomes in charge of his own crew, much to the chagrin of his wife. This movie boasts its airplanes quite a lot and its popular cast not as much. In fact, Stewart requested to make this movie because of his own time in the Air Force during the war. He is excellent in the film, and doesn't ... Read More

3.Mortal Storm starring: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Robert Young, Frank Morgan, Robert Stack directed by: Frank Borzage June 30, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.95
This WWII political drama starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, along with very young Robert Stack, Dan Dailey, Robert Young and of course, the Wizard of Oz, Frank Morgan, who is fabulous in this dramatic role, has been overlooked by the wizards of Hollywood. Due to the overall excellence of the film, great acting and wonderful scenes of Jimmy and Margaret "skiing" in the Alps at night, it should be listed, at least, as one of the best 100 films.

4.No Highway In The Sky starring: James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns, Jack Hawkins, Janette Scott directed by: Henry Koster August 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
This is a personal favorite. The author of the book, Nevil Shute, was an aircraft engineer and worked on the Airship R100. He also worked with the famous inventor Barnes Wallis. These facts give the film some credibility in regards to metallergy. Reading the book might give insight into the accuracy the film-maker put into the scientific statements Stewart's character spoke. Regardless of the details it is still a good picture.

5.You Can't Take It With You (1938) starring: Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arnold, Mischa Auer directed by: Frank Capra June 03, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
This 1938 film was a big hit in the years of the Great Depression. It is terribly dated and unfunny today, given a changed culture. It begins on Wall Street when Mr. Kirby arrives at the building that has his name on it. Kirby & Co. will have the biggest monopoly on war munitions after he has bought all the property surrounding a competitor's factory. An early mechanical calculator is shown. The Vanderhoff family do their own thing at their large home. [This must be attractive to the unemployed of that day.] We meet each of them and their personality. [Only in Hollywood?] The culture of that time provides the background. "Hello, Mother." Could the son of a millionaire marry his secretary? Does this drama seem dated? The neighbors are afraid of being forced out as someone is buying up all the land. [No ... Read More

6.A New Leaf starring: Rose Arrick, James Coco, David Doyle, Trent Gough, Graham Jarvis January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.95
How can it be that Walter Matthau's best performance, especially a comedy performance, is not available on DVD? It's a shame, because this is arguably the most brilliant dark comedy from that wonderful golden age of grown-up films from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. This movie is way too funny and brilliant to be this undercover and cult. Elaine May is to comedy what Coppola and Scorsese were to drama. Her writing is as good as comedy writing gets, and her performance gives a glimpse at how wonderful a comic actress she really is. No B.S. either. This one of the great comedies. Can't believe it's not on dvd. Not to be missed. I remember seeing this on tv when I was a little girl and thinking, that is a wonderful world those two people live in. It played the midnight show in college and the crowd loved it so much, it played the ... Read More

7.The Shop Around the Corner starring: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Frank Morgan, Joseph Schildkraut, Sara Haden directed by: Ernst Lubitsch January 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.94
This was a very enjoyable movie. Jimmy Stewart fans will not be disappointed. It's humorous, sweet, and does a good job on the sensitive subject matter that is included in the story. I highly recommend it.

8.Rose Marie (1936) starring: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Reginald Owen, Allan Jones, James Stewart directed by: W.S. Van Dyke September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.66
Do you remember what falling in love feels like. Well this movie is a all time winner...loved it 40 years ago and today as a Adult the impact is even greater today...Love is a powerfull emotion, and this movie shines a light on the subject, beautifully played by Nelson and Jeanette....

9.Rear Window starring: James Stewart, Grace Kelley directed by: Alfred Hitchcock March 06, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
I am a big fan of both Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchcock, but I really think this film is ridiculous. We are made to believe that somehow this photographer (Stewart) is holed up in his shoddy back-alley apartment due to an injury, but his gorgeous socialite girlfriend (Kelly) is not at all averse to hanging out there constantly. She looks as out of place as a Tiffany lamp in a public restroom. There is also a ridiculous attempt at sexualizing Kelly, involving her showing Stewart a piece of not-so-revealing lingerie (not even wearing, just showing) as "a taste of things to come." Grace Kelly is just not right here, mainly because she seems simultaneously less uptight and more classy than her character. I wish I could critique the writing, but since this is a suspense film it would be too much of a spoiler (not that there's much ... Read More
