VHS : Breathless (1983)
It took me a second viewing to really appreciate this film. Since then I have watched it many times.

This is one of the rare movies where Richard Gere has an equally attractive co-star (Valerie Kaprisky). Intersection with Sharon Stone would be another example.

Richard and Valerie are hard to beat as pure eye candy. They apparently agreed, as word has it that they embarked on a tempestuous affair after this film. I believe she was only nineteen when the movie was made.

The eclectic soundtrack makes this film all the better. It includes rockabilly kings Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley to a hypnotic version of Phillip Glass' Openings to Message of Love by the Pretenders.

If you've ever had a bad boy pulling on your heartsrings at a tender age, ... Read More

3.The Cotton Club starring: Richard Gere, Gregory Hines, Diane Lane, Lonette McKee, Bob Hoskins
directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
October 03, 2000
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : The Cotton Club
This movie made me feel like I was actually sitting in the Cotton Club. I developed an appreciation of the music from this era that has never gone away.

Part of the reason to watch this movie is the late, great Gregory Hines and his also-talented brother Maurice. Not many movies can legitimately incorporate tap-dancing into the plot. I am glad that Coppola took advantage of the opportunity to do so.

You also have to love Fred Gwynne. It was rather a shame that he was so type-cast via the Munsters. He had aspirations of being a more serious actor. He had a brief role as Michael Douglas' boss in Fatal Attraction.

Jennifer Grey played Nicholas Cage's wife in this film.

Ownie Madden had a hand in boxing back in the Cinderella Man days.

5.Great Santini starring: Robert Duvall, Blythe Danner, Michael O'Keefe, Lisa Jane Persky, Julie Anne Haddock
directed by: Lewis John Carlino
September 14, 1998
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
VHS : Great Santini
Two films were released in 1979, "Apocalypse Now" and "The Great Santini," wherein Robert Duvall played essentially the same character -- a gung-ho, half-crazed Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps.

In "The Great Santini" Duvall plays fighter pilot commander Bull Meechum, who drives his family to his new base in Beaufort, SC (where the film was actually filmed). It's peace-time in the early 60s before the Vietnam War. Bull is ultra-charismatic but flawed. At any given time you either love him or hate him; you'll see this same struggle with his family members. He generally treats them like Marine subordinates which, for the most part, works and they seem to have a lot of good times together, but there's a darkside as Bull is overly competitive, especially with his just-turning-18 son Ben (Michael ...

Takes me back to the 80's! Love seeing Nick Cage so young - along with Jim Carrey. Great to think "What if...."

7.American Pop starring: Ralph Bakshi, Hilary Beane, Robert Beecher, Gene Borkan, Beatrice Colen
directed by: Ralph Bakshi
March 31, 1998
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : American Pop
This is a classic. Visually stunning and engaging, it follows a family through several generations trying to make it in the entertainment industry.

In my opinion, Bakshi outdid himself with this one.

My only problem is that the final episode was too easy. It lacked the pathos of the rest of the movie. It seemed like an anticlimax.

But the music was great!
