1.Resurrection starring: Ellen Burstyn, Sam Shepard, Richard Farnsworth, Roberts Blossom, Clifford David directed by: Daniel Petrie January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.45
(SPOILER WARNING) Resurrection is loosely based on the experiences of Rosalyn Bruyere, a woman with expansive experience in energy based healing (She was also a technical advisor for the movie). Ellen Burstyn is absolutely realistic in her role as Edna, a woman who awakens from an accident in which she lost her fiance to find she has been endowed with a confusing blessing in the form of the ability to heal. As an agnostic, she finds this gift difficult to resolve, and her journey through her own healing and with others' expectations is interesting to watch. I would encourage anyone who is in the field of energy based healing to try to get their hands on a copy of this VHS, or at the very least catch it on cable, as it is shown periodically. It holds up well over time and I am still hoping ... Read More

They go through many hardships before everything turns out ok in the end. Then, in the sequel, their prarie is threatened by a drought. Jacob keeps on insisting that she (Sarah), Anna, and Jacob leave so that their lives aren't in danger. Sarah doesn't want to leave her husband on the prarie alone because of fear for his life. ...

3.Fried Green Tomatoes starring: Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary-Louise Parker, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cicely Tyson directed by: Jon Avnet February 03, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Fried Green Tomatoes starring Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy is definitely a chick flick to say the least. I like this weepy drama but this film is a little too long and depressing. I do appreciate the great acting and friendship concept, watch this film with a best friend. Rent it sometime.

4.Reckless (1984) starring: Aidan Quinn, Daryl Hannah, Kenneth McMillan, Cliff De Young, Lois Smith directed by: James Foley September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.88
Reckless is truly a classic but it does not get the critic it deserves. While the is about the quintessential good girl meeting bad boy, but the chemistry that Hannah and Quinn have comes across the screen as very authentic. It's the ultimate tale of two opposite attracts. The movie draws you into each one of their lives. It's dramatic, it's mysterous, rebelluous, and romantic. I am surprised it is not on DVD yet because unlike the other movies of the 80's I don't think Reckless is dated. It's a true classic.

5.My Foolish Heart starring: Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward, Kent Smith, Lois Wheeler, Jessie Royce Landis directed by: Mark Robson January 31, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.95
I always loved this movie. It is so heart wrenching and touching. It is worth watching over and over. This is the movie that made me fall in love with Dana Andrews. It was in very good condition.

6.East of Eden starring: James Dean, Raymond Massey, Julie Harris, Burl Ives, Richard Davalos directed by: Elia Kazan December 09, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
It amazes me that no-one seems to undertake a new production of this brilliant story. The movie only deals with a small part - if you've seen the movie, you must read the book.

7.Reuben, Reuben starring: Tom Conti, Kelly McGillis, Roberts Blossom, Cynthia Harris, E. Katherine Kerr directed by: Robert Ellis Miller 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.89
This is a great, great movie. Tom Conti is superb. Kelly McGillis is perfectly cast too. A gem of a story. I don't understand why this classic is not available on DVD.

8.Twister starring: Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes, Jami Gertz, Philip Seymour Hoffman directed by: Jan de Bont October 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Twister is one of my all-time favorite action movies and have watched it more times than I would like to admit.The best transfer on DVD still left alot to be desired.Now,the the transfer on Blu-Ray has been cleaned up and improved dramatically.It's not reference quality,of course,but I give the picture a solid 4 out of 5 for a movie of this age.I can't comment on the new lossless soundtrack because I am unable to decode yet. Definitely highly recommended even if you have the latest DVD version.

9.New York (5 Episode PBS Boxed Set) starring: Mrs. Vincent Astor, Edward Herrmann, Gene Jones, Eric Lipton, Patrick McGrath November 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.97
Gives a detailed and brilliant look at the shaping, and reshaping, of what would become the most identifiable city the world has ever seen. From its roots as a dutch trading post, to the construction of Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge, to the ghettos and tenements of immigrants, through the growth and destruction ushered in by Robert Moses, the financial ruin of the 1970's and the fall of the two towers that mightily stood in its financial district, this documentary covers it all. An absolutely beautiful project that will give you a deeper appreciation for the most ecclectic city on the face of this earth.

10.Iron Jawed Angels (P&S) starring: Hilary Swank, Margo Martindale, Anjelica Huston, Frances O'Connor, Lois Smith directed by: Katja von Garnier September 07, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.57
Even though the title of this movie may sound a little strange, it is a movie worth seeing. The movie focuses on the efforts and determination of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and their quest to give women the right to vote. I watched this movie for the first time only a couple weeks before the election in November of this year. By watching this movie before I voted for the next President for the first time, I began to realize that if these women and the others who shared their dream did not speak out, I may not have been allowed to vote. After watching this movie, I began to appreciate all that women in our country and in other countries around the world have fought so long and so hard for. If you want to learn more about how women gained the right to vote or if you want to know more about women's rights in general, this is a great ... Read More
