1.The New Land starring: Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Eddie Axberg, Pierre Lindstedt, Allan Edwall directed by: Jan Troell July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.20
Karl Oskar leads his disgruntled wife to the spot he has chosen. Kristina is impressed. They go to work. Karl Oskar fishes and clears the land. Robert catches a rabbit. Kristina makes bread and cooks over an open fire. She gives food to Indian women. The men begin building cabins. Kristina is elated when they are given a cow. At the housewarming, we see in her face that she misses Sweden. Kristina and Ulrika are now friends, and Ulrika plays midwife when Kristina's baby is born. They drink a toast. Schizophrenic Robert imagines he shoots and kills an Indian. Karl Oskar has little respect for his brother. The snow scenes portray the Minnesota winter. In the spring, Robert and Arvid set off to dig for gold in California. Ullmann looks sexy at their parting, her long ... Read More

2.Hawaii starring: Julie Andrews, Max von Sydow, Richard Harris, Gene Hackman, Carroll O'Connor directed by: George Roy Hill July 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.80
I don't like abridged novels and films that are chopped to pieces are in the same category. This shortened version lacks the depth of the original full version film. The full version film should be considered an all time classic.

3.Bond: Never Say Never Again starring: Sean Connery, Kim Basinger, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Barbara Carrera directed by: Irvin Kershner April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.42
I wouldn't go out of my way for this if I wasn't a Bond completist, but NSNA seems to me to be a fair-to-middling Bond outing that compares favorably to its contemporary (1983) 'official' competition, OCTOPUSSY. Despite a low budget the film doesn't feel cheap, the recycled plot is one of the better ones, and Connery, although hamming it up a bit as a middle-aged superspy, is still everybody's favorite Bond. If you're comparing this to the early Connery, or even the Pierce Brosnan period, forget it - done at the height (depth?) of the Roger Moore period, NSNA is full of tongue-in-cheek, but handled better, IMHO, than the corny Moore scripts. Q-Algy was less overdone than John Cleese, though James Fox's "M" dialogue was sometimes a bit too over-the-top, Barbara Carrera had to make ... Read More

4.What Dreams May Come starring: Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., Annabella Sciorra, Max von Sydow, Jessica Brooks Grant directed by: Vincent Ward August 03, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The DVD came so quickly and it was just like new. Very awesome. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

5.Three Days of Condor starring: Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, Max von Sydow, John Houseman directed by: Sydney Pollack January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.75
*** Contains spoiler **** It's a work which has both very good and mediocre qualities. The build-up of the plot is just smashing. With well-paced action and competent acting, it's a remarkable work to watch. Problem first erupts little when Redford kidnaps the lady. It is very difficult to believe that a lady would like to be part of the deadly problem Redford is in for just one night charm, no matter how lonely she is. But the script does not do justice to itself when it converts a book reader into a first class professional spy to start wire tapping, entering other's home in clandestine, threatening people at gun point. The justification to kill 7 of CIA's own people are all too wishy-washy as well. Summarily, the good compact work of first half has been liquidated ... Read More

6.Jerusalem starring: Maria Bonnevie, Ulf Friberg, Pernilla August, Lena Endre, Sven-Bertil Taube directed by: Bille August June 29, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.16
Selma Lagerlöf, the first female Nobel prize winner in literature, is known in Sweden for her extraordinary storytelling gifts. Her novel Jerusalem uses as its historical background the Pietist movement of the early 19th century. This movement can be seen as the beginning of the breakdown of the state church system in Sweden, for it allowed for the possibility that the common man (not woman at this time) could be filled with divine wisdom and vision -- that this was no longer the provenance of clergymen alone. The ramifications of this movement for traditional societal order were breathtaking. Lagerlöf's novel takes this historical background and sets in its midst a responsible, strong and serious young man, Ingmar Ingmarsson, who has promised his father on his deathbed that he will grow up to be ...

7.The Magician starring: Max von Sydow, Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Björnstrand, Naima Wifstrand, Bengt Ekerot directed by: Ingmar Bergman October 29, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.79
Ever wondered why the films of Ingmar Bergman are often considered "arty" and don't achieve much mainstream success? watch this and you'll know. But do yourself a favour and read a couple of reviews as well - the ones in which it is hailed as a "gothic horror masterpiece" or, "hilarious". I saw one in which it was called (with no irony) "semi-comic". That means, to me, "not very funny." And it isn't. The jokes are very poor indeed and revolve around busty serving wenches and conjuring tricks gone wrong: imagine Tommy Cooper in a bad Carry On film. The supposed "horror" is lamer than anything I have ever seen: just not even slightly horrific. One review I read called it "genuinely gruesome". Well, unless Amazon are posting out heavily-edited versions, then I can only conclude ... Read More

8.The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen) starring: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair, Lee J. Cobb, Kitty Winn directed by: William Friedkin June 12, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
It's difficult to look back on a film "classic" and try to review it through today's eyes...35 years later. It's always tempting to say, "Those effects were great...for 1973" or "imagine how that affected an audience...three decades ago." You almost feel like you have to make excuses for the film. But I am happy to report that in a very recent, pre-Halloween viewing, THE EXORCIST has withstood the test of time nearly unscathed. Yes, some of the effects (there are actually fewer than you would expect) are not up to the standards of today. The clothing is often hilariously tacky. Technology is primitive. Yet William Friedkin's classically styled direction of William Peter Blatty's effectively unsettling novel still has the uncanny ability to give us the creeps today. Often (VERY often) imitated, ...

9.The Night Visitor starring: Max von Sydow, Trevor Howard, Liv Ullmann, Per Oscarsson, Rupert Davies directed by: Laslo Benedek July 03, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.16
Filmed in Scandinavia, Max Von Sydow, Per Oscarsson, and Liv Ullman are first rate in this psychological thriller. During this time The Emigrants, Scenes from a Marriage, The New Land and other Nordic pictures took center stage above the Night Visitor. Although the aforementioned 3 occupy the absolute elite of all-time Nordic cinema, The Night Visitor is well worth watching and an interesting departure from stereotypical Scandinavian pictures. The ending of this movie is great. Watch until the end.

10.Never Say Never Again starring: Sean Connery, Kim Basinger, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Barbara Carrera directed by: Irvin Kershner October 17, 2000
