1.Stalin (1992) starring: Robert Duvall, Julia Ormond, Maximilian Schell, Jeroen Krabbé, Joan Plowright directed by: Ivan Passer September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $20.99
A true characterization of a truly pathetic individual. Historically, Stalin & Hitler were no more than two lost souls, losers in every way, that found a home in subjective, reactive rhetorical organizations. Stalin used his power to turn his delusions into reality, and untold horrors for the Russian people. This movie accurately portrays the beast and his place in history.

2.Young Catherine/Tnt Version starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Plummer, Franco Nero, Marthe Keller, Maximilian Schell directed by: Michael Anderson May 29, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.97
As I am currently changing all my VHS tapes over to DVD's I am struggling with some really good "old" mostly historical tapes that I don't think will ever be transferred over to DVD, and this is one of them.....the only copy I had, prior to acquiring this one is an old tape from the actual TV drama itself which has been played so often that it is skipping and missing words. I believe that some individual was selling a DVD that they had made but the review was that the picture quality was lousy, so I won't go there. My personally opinion on this movie is that IT IS THE VERY BEST PORTRAYAL of Catherine the Great of Russia. Unfortunately there was a much more recent remake with Catherine Zeta Jones in the starring role....forget that! Julia Ormond leaves Zeta Jones in the dust when it comes to playing ... Read More

3.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).

4.A Bridge Too Far starring: Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott July 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
Nice reproduction. It was originally filmed in great quality. Not real sure if the Blue-ray version is that much better. I viewed it on a 720p 42" LCD. But the price made it worth it.

5.The Assisi Underground starring: Roberto Bisacco, Delia Boccardo, Geoffrey Copleston, Ben Cross, Riccardo Cucciolla September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $27.10
Entertaining Sad Joyous when you forget the reality of the truth of the story you can enjoy the movie it is long but worth watching I am waiting for it to come out on DVD

6.Cross of Iron (1977) starring: James Coburn, Maximilian Schell, James Mason, David Warner, Klaus Löwitsch directed by: Sam Peckinpah October 20, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.49
I saw "Cross of Iron" when it was in theatrical release in 1977 and thought it was a pretty good treatment of the German side of WWII. I watched it again last night on DVD and found myself fast-forwarding past the dull spots. Since I have collected WWII German militaria, lots of little mistakes in uniforms and equipment jumped out at me. The most glaring was the imitation Reich war flag hanging in the background in the outdoor hospital scenes. Coburn's performance holds up, but Schell's character is so broadly drawn as to seem malevolently cartoonish. And then there's Peckinpah's cliche treatment of violence by reverting to slow-motion when the shooting and stabbing start. It served him much better in "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." The art of the war film has matured considerably since 1977 and compared with "Saving ... Read More

7.Deep Impact starring: Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman, Vanessa Redgrave directed by: Mimi Leder May 18, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Deep Impact is way WAY better than Armageddon. The writing is better. The acting is better. It is smarter, more real, more thoughtful, more effective.

8.Young Catherine starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Plummer, Franco Nero, Marthe Keller, Maximilian Schell directed by: Michael Anderson May 29, 1991

Opened my eyes of my heart to the Jewish way of life with more understanding of traditions and beliefs. How I appreciate these types of filming. We need more of them.

10.Kinski: My Best Fiend starring: Isabelle Adjani, Claudia Cardinale, Justo González, Mick Jagger, Klaus Kinski August 15, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.89
Absolutely hilarious... Though you do wish the documentary was a bit more balanced. Kinski may well have been the ultimate nightmare actor, but director Herzog drove his crews and actors to extremes that would drive anyone crazy. Still this is a surprisingly fun documentary about an egotistical actor, who inspired even the most gentle, simple tribal people who met him (during the filming of Fitzcaraldo and Aguirre: Wrath of God) to kill him. Would make a great triple bill with the documentaries of the productions of Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and Gilliam's ill-fated Don Quixote project.
