VHS : Sometimes a Great Notion
i paid $26 plus S&H for a VHS tape that does not play well, the video fades in and out, goes completely white at times, and is of poor quality. In it's present form it is not even worth trying to watch it again. I was greatly disappointed in watching it...

VHS : Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever
I would have to say that out of all the Andy Hardy movies I have seen this is the least entertaining. It doesn't have as good of a story line as the other ones. Basically what happens is Andy doesn't care much for his drama class...that is until he falls for the new substitute drama teacher. He improves rapidly in his class and even writes and stars in a play called "Adrift in Tahiti." Everyone notices the obvious difference in his age and the teachers age, well, except Andy. And he becomes heartbroken when he finds out of her engagement to another man.

Like all Andy Hardy movies, this movie does have a few comical situations, but it is not near as good as the other ones.

VHS : The Prisoner of Zenda
If you like Peter Sellers this is a near must-see. He plays several characters all are not well developed. It's enjoyable, but not great. It is very sad that this movie has not been made available on DVD.

5.Pocket Money starring: Paul Newman, Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, Wayne Rogers, Hector Elizondo
directed by: Stuart Rosenberg
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Pocket Money
Even diehard Paul Newman (or Lee Marvin) fans might have a hard time getting through this one. They play a couple of oafish cowboys trying to get a herd of horses from Mexico into Texas; neither has a clue what he's doing. A parody of the tough-guy western, Newman is the not-very-swift though good-hearted and determined schlemiel, while Marvin is the con-man who bungles everything. Newman is occasionally funny, but Marvin is merely surly. Stuart Rosenberg's direction is very loose, and often there seems to be no direction at all. Even at a relatively short 100 minutes the movie seems to go on forever. The best thing about the movie is the music by Alex North. Not a career enhancer for either principal actor.

6.Rooster Cogburn starring: John Wayne, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Zerbe, Richard Jordan, John McIntire
directed by: Stuart Millar
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Rooster Cogburn
The sequel to "True Grits" was enjoyable to watch. Though not as good as its predecessor. This movie could have given more history concerning the charactors other than the beloved Deputy Marshall. Katherine Hepburn was supurb of course, especially with that well developed voice of hers.
