1.The Outsiders starring: C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe directed by: Francis Ford Coppola April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.39
This is a great DVD with the extra scenes in it bringing the book more fully to life Don't get me wrong I adored the original but this is better. I think the music is fine and not at all distracting. Highly recommended.

2.Little Darlings starring: Tatum O'Neal, Kristy McNichol, Armand Assante, Matt Dillon, Margaret Blye directed by: Ronald F. Maxwell February 24, 1998

I use to watch this all the time as a little girl. It brings back such fond memories having this in my collection now that I am an adult. Thank you!!

3.Native Son (1986) starring: Victor Love, Matt Dillon, Elizabeth McGovern, Geraldine Page, Oprah Winfrey directed by: Jerrold Freedman November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.49
I understand the perspectives of the other online-reviewers; however, being an English teacher, I have found this video to be quite beneficial and complimentary in assisting me and helping my students to understand the characterization and themes in Native Son. It is not an outstanding performance; however, it does offer a color cinematic version, while having actors that are recongnizable to a younger generation. I do not believe that many outstanding novels can ever really be properly and accurately portryaed on film; that is really a daunting task for directors, writers, and producers. To this date, I can only say that The Color Purple has actually achieved cinematic success, due in large part to the creative genius of Steven Spielberg. That is a rarity. However, ... Read More

4.Saint of Fort Washington starring: Danny Glover, Matt Dillon, Rick Aviles, Nina Siemaszko, Ving Rhames directed by: Tim Hunter April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
I won't deny that this is a difficult film to watch especially if, like me, you have lived in New York City for any length of time (I was born here). It's the story of a homeless man named Jerry (Danny Glover) who takes under his wing a schizophrenic but basically kind, gentle and loving young man named Matthew (Matt Dillon). Jerry helps Matthew adjust to homelessness amidst a bureaucratic system that sabotages the success of anyone trying to escape it. It isn't fully clear why Matthew's mother has abandoned him - though with Matthew's history of mental illness, you get a good idea (horribly cruel as it seems). Jerry not only calls Matthew his son but also names him Saint Matthew, the Saint of Fort Washington (because of his healing touch to those in pain). I think this is an important film for everyone to ... Read More

5.Frankie Starlight starring: Matt Dillon, Anne Parillaud, Gabriel Byrne, Corban Walker, Niall Toibin directed by: Michael Lindsay-Hogg April 29, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.96
This is one of the great "unknowns" in the movie world: a great film seen by very few people. I'm still waiting for the DVD but not holding my breath. Thankfully, my VHS is still good. But like anything good, we'd like to share this with others and most people have never heard of this movie. For those sensitive souls who enjoy a fascinating portrait of an unusual person or persons that is both sad and uplifting, this is your ticket. It has both, in spades.....a haunting film you can't forget. It's a tragic tale yet has a happy ending of sorts and leaves you feeling satisfied. What it is, and I can't remember if it is based on real-life situation, is the story of a woman who has a dwarf for a son and what happens to the two of them, beginning in France, moving to Ireland, over to the United ...

6.Dear America - Letters Home from Vietnam starring: Tom Berenger, Ellen Burstyn, J. Kenneth Campbell, Richard Chaves, Josh Cruze directed by: Bill Couturié March 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.25

7.Beautiful Girls starring: Matt Dillon, Timothy Hutton, Noah Emmerich, Annabeth Gish, Lauren Holly directed by: Ted Demme July 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Beautiful Girls is an ensemble comedy, with star power to burn. Hutton and Sorvino are both Oscar winners, while Dillon Thurman, and Portman have Oscar nominations. The title of this movie, Beautiful Girls, should clue you in to what it's about. It is a celebration of the beauty of women, but at the same time, it is also a cautionary tale about how men put Beauty on a pedestal that sometimes interferes with them making a commitment to a mature adult relationship with a real woman. In spite of the stellar cast and lofty premise, it probably went straight to DVD. I have no recollection of this movie being released theatrically. I thought that because of this it would be a big stinker, but it was actually quite good. I have a few theories about why it performed so poorly at the box office: It had a rather ... Read More

8.Rumble Fish starring: Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, Diana Scarwid directed by: Francis Ford Coppola August 08, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
I give this movie A++. The black and white effects are really cool. All effects were done by hand, no generic computer special effects. Most importantly, the writing and story was excellent with poetic tones. I feel in love with this movie and it will always be one of my favorites.

9.In & Out starring: Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack, Tom Selleck, Matt Dillon, Debbie Reynolds directed by: Frank Oz June 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
An amusing and tender-hearted take on self-discovery and acceptance of differences. Every cast member is terrific: Kline at his best, Cusack incredibly funny, Reynolds seniorly sparkling, and Newhart -- well, Newhart.

10.My Bodyguard starring: Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, Matt Dillon, Paul Quandt, Hank Salas directed by: Tony Bill May 19, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.60
Along with a terrific cast this is a fun movie from the 1980s with decent clothes and music that doesn't age it badly. Backdrops are of Chicago and you see a couple scenes that Chicagoans will know like the loop, and the Picasso sculpture in the Civic Center Plaza. Several of the cast were kids then and have now grown including Makepeace, Baldwin, and Dillon. Be sure to keep an eye peeled for a young Jennifer Beals of "Flash Dance", not listed in the credits. This is a story about a new kid that is bullied for lunch money by a group of locals. In comes a very large and intimidating kid with stories of murder and mayhem that all the kids are afraid of but the new kid. He immediately approaches this large kid with a questionable past and ask him to be his bodyguard. It takes some convincing but he finally agrees. Don't miss this fun growing ... Read More
