1.Beauties of the Night starring: Gérard Philipe, Martine Carol, Gina Lollobrigida, Magali Vendeuil, Marilyn Buferd directed by: René Clair November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.95
This is one of those rare films that make you smile in total delight the entire time you see it. Clair captures the mood of a French provincial town in the early fifties with such mastery! The characters and the situations they become involved in are great fun to watch; the actors are all perfect in their roles. Gerard Philipe is here as charming as one can possibly be; his virtuoso acting seems rather effortless. Gina Lollobrigida plays a lovely Arab girl with a fresh sensuality that makes our heart melt. This film deserves be released in DVD format. And URGENTLY!

2.Rosamunde Quartet / Making of a Violin Quartet starring: Silvio Bagolini, Gino Bechi, Lucia Bosé, Rosanna Carteri, Riccardo Fellini directed by: Glauco Pellegrini January 16, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.99
I have owned this dvd for many years. I didn't like it at first found the images beautiful but fussy. I don't mind the Shubert being sung by a woman. And in fact Fassbender's singing is great. I gradually warmed to the CD over the period I've owned and and now I welcome an opportunity to play it. The images that accompany the music, carry many stories with them not just one and they are related to the music, just not in an obvious way. Buy this DVD and let the whole seep in over the course of years ... it's worth it.

3.Once Upon a Time in the West starring: Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Gabriele Ferzetti directed by: Sergio Leone February 19, 1997

I thought that the service and product from amazon was outstanding. I was very happy to get this old movie and enjoyed it a lot and found that the quality was very good, I was real very pleased. Thank you, Alan Tiensvold

4.After the Fox starring: Martin Balsam, Lydia Brazzi, Tino Buazzelli, Maria Grazia Buccella, Lando Buzzanca September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.49
And fun. There must be lots of fun. If a film director came to your tiny forgotten town and shouted that he needed the entire community as his extras, what would you do? Everyone wants their moment of fame, and that means everyone. So what, you never heard of him. This man is a genius. Aldo Vanucci, alias The Fox, counts on this to carry out his plan to recover stolen gold. With the help of The Fox's gang and his sister who wants to be an actress, two confederates arrange for delivery of the stolen gold during the filming. Of course nothing goes as planned, or so we're led to believe. Peter Sellers is the thief with a tender heart for his family. Martin Balsam, Akim Tamiroff and Britt Eklund pull off great performances. Lydia Brazzi is gorgeous. Victor Mature (that blinding smile!) is the scene stealer ... Read More

5.Becket (Letterboxed Edition) starring: Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Gino Cervi, Paolo Stoppa directed by: Peter Glenville October 17, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.91
Another "Burton" at his best, "Becket" gives us a superb Peter O'toole as Henry II. No better acting than these two give us has Hollywood ever produced and it's all there in this increibly important film. Thought provoking and ethiically important. The comlexity of being human faces us throughout the two and a half hours. Would that Hollywood were still producing motion pictures of this quality!

6.Miracle in Milan starring: Emma Gramatica, Francesco Golisano, Paolo Stoppa, Guglielmo Barnabò, Brunella Bovo directed by: Vittorio De Sica June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
If you're getting colder try with this movie to fill yourself with warm hope in hopeless world.

8.Behold a Pale Horse starring: Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif, Raymond Pellegrin, Paolo Stoppa directed by: Fred Zinnemann August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.42
One of the few films to deal with the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Behold a Pale Horse is a now completely forgotten but once high-profile well-intentioned failure where you can see the good intentions and valid reasoning behind every misstep. It certainly has pedigree to spare: Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn resuming on screen hostilities after their ruckus on Navarone, a supporting cast including Omar Sharif and Christian Marquand, a screenplay based on a novel by Emeric Pressburger (the wonderfully titled Killing a Mouse On Sunday) and direction by Fred Zinnemann. At its core is an effectively simple idea, with Anthony Quinn's failing local police chief trying to tempt Gregory Peck's legendary Republican bandit across the border into Franco's Spain and right into a trap, with the rebel's dying mother as the bait. But ... Read More
