1.Singin' in the Rain starring: Cyd Charisse, Mae Clarke, Harry Cody, Douglas Fowley, Lance Fuller directed by: Stanley Donen September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
I was hesitant to go for the two disk set, but it's really worth it if you love musicals, and love MGM movies. The second disk is a great addition, packed with loads of info about Arthur Freed, with commentary by Debbie Reynolds, and it even includes the original film clips of the songs in the movie. This is a great choice for a fan.

2.Gunfighter starring: Gregory Peck, Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell, Jean Parker, Karl Malden directed by: Henry King January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.77
I'm really surprised this isn't on DVD and more accessible to the public. Gregory Peck is first rate in his role as Ringo, the aging gun-fighter who's taking a hard look at life and wanting to change his ways. And Millard Mitchell was impressive in his supporting role. I loved the foreshadowing all through the picture and I was left stunned by the ending. Wasn't expecting that from a 1950's movie. I'm not a great fan of the western genre (although I'm learning to appreciate it) but this movie is beyond genre; it's a good, solid story with a great leading man.

3.Twelve O'Clock High starring: Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill, Millard Mitchell, Dean Jagger directed by: Henry King June 02, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.59
Twelve O'Clock High is one of my all time favorite movies. A great lesson on leadership styles. Many other everyday lessons in working with and for people. Great movie with tremendous acting.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO EDIT THIS ONE IN DVD FORMAT?

5.Double Life, A starring: Ronald Colman, Edmond O'Brien, Signe Hasso, Shelley Winters, Ray Collins directed by: George Cukor April 04, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
A few things came to my mind while viewing "A Double Life". Foremost the film's theme of actors unable to separate roles from reality foreshadowed the recent passing of Heath Ledger. The liner notes state that Cary Grant turned the role of Anthony John before Ronald Colman accepted it. No offence to Grant, but I think it a wise decision because I can't see him doing a better job than Colman. Essentially this a high-brow psychological horror film. If you like this film it would behoove you to check out the films producer Val Lewton made for RKO or "The Lodger" and "Hangover Square" from Fox. All around this is a first rate production. One has to start with Colman who gives a performance for the ages. His character is sympathetic despite the monstrous impulses that lurk beneath his surface. The script by Garson ... Read More

6.Naked Spur starring: James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan, Ralph Meeker, Millard Mitchell directed by: Anthony Mann April 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.55
In all fairness to "The Naked Spur" I watched this movie because it was listed in the book "501 Must-See Movies". OK, that must make it a really good film. Well, I kept waiting for it to get to that level and it never did. I can see some reasons why the movie has its' admirers; it delves into greed with a fair amount of depth, Jimmie Stewart gives a pretty good preformance, the setting/cinematography is outstanding, there is a continuing level of suspense, etc. However, I thought the movie moved along in a rather erratic pace. There were aspects that I had trouble accepting (a rather peculiar fault of mine that I realize most people don't suffer from). One particular aspect was how one of the characters was wounded to near the point of death. As the movie progressed, it was necessary to overlook his injuries although ... Read More

7.Here Come the Girls (1953) starring: Bob Hope, Tony Martin, Arlene Dahl, Rosemary Clooney, Millard Mitchell directed by: Claude Binyon February 24, 1993

This movie features Bob Hope as an entertainer who gets accidently involved with a killer.It's a classic Bob Hope comedy!!By the way Happy 100th Birthday Mr. Hope and thanks for the memories,we all love you!!

9.Winchester 73 starring: James Stewart, Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, Stephen McNally, Millard Mitchell directed by: Anthony Mann May 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.43
All for the love of a one of its kind,Winchester rifle,patented 1873,the kind of gun every kid dreams of,and will set the tone for this one of a kind western,starring Jimmy Stewart,Shelly Winters and Dan Duryea,directed by the legendary Anthony Mann. The film starts off with a bang,like the races,as the town's best known marksmen shoot it out to the end for the possession of this highly prized firearm which is passed down from hand to hand until the rightful owner takes the trophy home. There's no slacking in the acting department in this one,Shelly Winters gives an outstanding performance,as so does Dan Duryea as his usual ruthless character,and James Stewart is right on the top of his game,all featured in this motion picture worthy of viewing time and time again,a credit to the western genre,Winchester '73 is featured in black and white. ...
