1.Made in Heaven starring: Timothy Hutton, Kelly McGillis, Maureen Stapleton, Ann Wedgeworth, James Gammon directed by: Alan Rudolph January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.99
Saw this when I was very young, maybe 9 or 10, and it somehow moved me in a visceral way that I simply cannot convey in words. But I never found out what it was called. With the memory of the powerful ending vaguely imprinted on my mind I vowed that I would one day find out the name of this movie. I have been clutching at straws for years trying to figure it out. Only recently did I find out, I'm now 25! I have used the the Warner Brothers comment system on their website to try push for a DVD release. It MUST happen. AMAZON, if you can hear me, please do ALL you can. DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED! DVD NEEDED!

2.Summer of 42 starring: Katherine Allentuck, Oliver Conant, Lou Frizzell, Gary Grimes, Jerry Houser November 29, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
Occasionally some person or some event lifts our spirits high above the normal plane of existence and we experience a beauty and a joy that we never knew existed and yet, once experienced, leaves us somehow changed forever. The Summer of '42 had that effect upon me. I wonder if all of our various experiences of love, beauty, truth etc. are but pale emanations from our Creator who sometimes allures us, not with greatness, but with an overwhelming humility, painful gentleness and sheer beauty? While the subject matter of Summer of '42 could hardly be described as being of high moral character, it nevertheless sounded a note in me whose very existence I was previously unaware. Perhaps it was the beauty of Jennifer O'Neill; perhaps it was the stirring words ... Read More

3.Ray Bradbury's Electric Grandmother starring: Maureen Stapleton, Edward Herrmann, Robert McNaughton 1981
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.98
As a retired school teacher, I have seen this video once a year for 25 years 5-7 times a day. I would cry every time, every class, every period. My kids thought I was crazy. I think that it is more truly appreciated as we get older, watch our parents and grandparents become older, that the child becomes the parent and vice versa. The story of the grandmother finally breaking through to Agatha is tender and true, but the ending holds the true message of the story....the circle of life. I always found that my high school kids got the message better, above and beyond the quirky grandma with milk pouring from her fingertips, as evidenced in their papers and reviews. Have you seen the Twilight Zone version? Of course it's in black and white, and doesn't really do justice to the tenderness ... Read More

4.Queen of the Stardust Ballroom starring: Maureen Stapleton, Charles Durning, Michael Brandon, Elizabeth Berger, Lewis Charles directed by: Sam O'Steen December 07, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $100.00
I watched this movie when it was new and the leading characters were my parents age. I loved it then. I love it now, though, suddenly, the characters are my age, which I found disconcerting, but I still love the movie. As to the complaints about MS's singing, she is playing a normal woman, like most of us, and is not necessarily supposed to be a good singer. It is very realistic that she has an average voice. I loved the very first song she sang when she was newly widowed, something, like "who told you that you could leave"? This is a movie I love to watch alone, with a cup of cocoa, and just enjoy.

5.Miss Rose White starring: Maximilian Schell, Kyra Sedgwick, Maureen Stapleton, Bari Biern, Ken Collins directed by: Joseph Sargent January 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.00
No one really survives the Holocaust;in some way or another a person,nomatter how they escaped that onslaught are altered forever in their relationships to themselves and others;that is the central theme of this 1992 EMMY AWARD WINNER for outstanding movie of the year.A young Kyra Sedgwick is shown to already be the fine actress that fifteen years later will earn her GOLDEN GLOBES.The story is definitely light fare as far as Holocaust related movies go.Good companion films to MISS ROSE WHITE would be A CALL TO REMEMBER and AN AMERICAN RHAPSODY which both explore the post-war dilemna of family and assimilation.For a foreign film that is similar I suggest MENDEL (Norway).

6.Money Pit starring: Tom Hanks, Shelley Long, Alexander Godunov, Maureen Stapleton, Joe Mantegna directed by: Richard Benjamin March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
First of all, what a great comedy!! How many people get sucked into buying a home (thinking it's such a great deal) only to find out it will cost them more than buying an expensive home to begin with. I love Tom Hanks and his performance in this film was great once again. If you're looking for a good laugh and have had some fixer upper woes this is definately the movie for you!

7.Runner Stumbles starring: Dick Van Dyke, Kathleen Quinlan, Maureen Stapleton, Ray Bolger, Tammy Grimes directed by: Stanley Kramer December 18, 1985
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.40
As if this makes me some sort of expert or celebrity, but, whoo-hoo, I come from the "real" town/parish where the events that inspired the play and later the movie actually took place. Filming "on location" in our town/parish was denied, of course. Still as the filming went forward (in another location as we know)and after the film's release the people of our parish were outraged that such sins would be exposed. The publication of the play drew similar, but easily as passionate a reaction. For such a long time the roots in our community ran deep and strong. The people worked hard and were pious. Loyalty and discretion were expected. They wrapped themselve in renunciation not only of their sins but of the world at large. The story as it unfolded in real life brought disgrace to a community, a church and a people who ... Read More

8.Trading Mom starring: Sissy Spacek, Anna Chlumsky, Aaron Michael Metchik, Asher Metchik, Merritt Yohnka directed by: Tia Brelis June 20, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.89
I absoloutely loved this movie as a child. Although, I am upset I can only find it on VHS and its almost [...] bucks!!! VHSes are so outdated. If anyone knows where I can find it for cheaper let me know!!

9.Little Gloria Happy at Last starring: Angela Lansbury, Christopher Plummer, Maureen Stapleton, Martin Balsam, Barnard Hughes directed by: Waris Hussein October 01, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $36.94
I first saw this moving on tv but I missed part of it so I had to buy it to find out what I missed. Very good movie. Little Gloria was afraid of her mother so she lived with her aunt but the mother fought to get her back. her mother was a tramp & also liked women.

10.Lincoln (4pc) starring: Jason Robards, James Earl Jones, Glenn Close, Richard Widmark, Arnold Schwarzenegger directed by: Peter W. Kunhardt June 09, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.75
***** I found this 4-series biography set to be ONE OF THE BEST BIOGRAPHIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. There was more information about Abraham Lincoln in these videos than the shorter,and less interesting, A&E or History Channel versions. The presentation was done very tastefully and thoroughly. The pictures and theme music seem historically accurate.Also,the voices of James Earl Jones and Jason Robards literally gave me the chills for their perfect portrayals and narration.Also, no one voices a better Mary Lincoln than the one-and-only Glenn Close. On a whole, the video was excellent. These videos even entertain children of all ages. The downside is that this edition is no longer in production, and only available in VHS format. So, if you get your hands on a set of these videos, I'd suggest you hold tight. I ... Read More
