1.Casino Royale (The Collector's Edition) starring: Peter Lorre, Ian Fleming, Barry Nelson, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress December 31, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.98 Prices subject to change.
Many think that Sean Connery was the first actor to impersonate the role of the sophisticated British agent; when in fact he wasn't. Sean was the first actor to play bond in a "theatrical" movie. But in 1954, 8 years before Dr. No hit the screens, 007 was introduced for the first time on Television broadcast. The movie was called Casino Royale, based on the first novel by Ian Fleming. The movie was adapted from this novel for a CBS broadcast, with the hopes of adapting more of Ian Fleming's novels on TV...but the broadcast was pretty much bashed by critics and ignored by viewers. The movie was broadcasted only once and lost. It was later found and re-broadcasted in the 1990's for TBS, part of a James Bond movie marathon. Thought the problem with that version that was re-aired ... Read More

2.Arsenic & Old Lace starring: Cary Grant, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre directed by: Frank Capra July 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I recently purchased this classic black and white movie starring Cary Grant, and I really liked it. I had seen it many times when I was younger but the last time I had seen it was several years ago late at night on some satellite channel. When I first watched this dvd I realized that the version I had always seen on T.V. had been edited. The difference between the dvd and T.V. version were that the introductory screen credits to the movie was a Halloween cartoon and there were several other scenes that had been edited or deleted altogether. There were a few special features but nothing too exciting. I would have rated this movie as perfect except for the fact that it has outdated slapstick humor and of course it is only b&w (black and white). I would have preferred for it to be ... Read More

3.20,000 Leagues Under the Sea starring: Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre, Robert J. Wilke directed by: Richard Fleischer March 04, 1997

A classic tale, not as good as i remember it to be as a child but still good clean entertainment for the the whole family, better than commercial TV has to offer.

4.Casablanca (Aniv B&W) starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt directed by: Michael Curtiz November 02, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.09
Casablanca is perhaps considered one of the best well-done and most-respected movies of all time. Before I even watched the film, I knew that I would love it from start to finish. So if you are sitting at home wondering what movie to watch, I recommend Casablanca because you will not be disappointed. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart both do an amazing job in this film. Also this Academy Award winner for Best Picture clearly deserves a round of applause. Perfect film for families, couples, or anyone who wants to enjoy a good movie. Next time you are at Blockbuster or ordering off of NETFLIX, choose Casablanca as your next movie to watch.

6.The Maltese Falcon starring: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George, Peter Lorre, Barton MacLane directed by: John Huston January 16, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
"The Maltese Falcon" is a great movie because of its great actors and tight dialogue. Bogart, as the cynical but ultimately ultramoral, Sam Spade, is great as are his antitheses, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet and Mary Astor. Spade is suckered by a beautiful woman [Astor] into what turns out to be the criminal enterprise of locating the 'Maltese Falcon', a ceramic bird worth millions. Men and women fight and die to gain its possession. The plot is convoluted but convincing and, finally, after the murder of several illicit wealth-seekers, the Falcon is located it and is found to be a phony. The cops lead the beautiful Astor who, while still proclaiming her 'love' for Bogart, off to her well-deserved punishment. Bogart, as Spade, has the opportunity to set her free but...does the 'right' thing and ... Read More

7.Beast With Five Fingers starring: Robert Alda, Andrea King, Peter Lorre, Victor Francen, J. Carrol Naish directed by: Robert Florey September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $49.99
The Beast with Five Fingers (Robert Florey, 1946) 1946 was the last year Peter Lorre worked for Warner Brothers, and his parting from the company was career suicide; while he remains one of the world's most famous actors, endlessly imitated and paid tribute, from his parting with Warner Brothers until his death in 1964, Lorre picked up only the odd film here and there (though some of them are truly excellent) and some TV guest appearances. Thus it is that The Beast with Five Fingers is something of a bittersweet film for the nostalgia buff; it is a great Lorre performance, but it marked the beginning of the end. Set in the late nineteenth century in northern Italy, The Beast with Five Fingers is the tale of Frances Ingram (Victor Francen), a pianist with a rather motley crew of eccentrics living ...

9.The Raven starring: Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Hazel Court, Olive Sturgess directed by: Roger Corman September 16, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.02
Raving About Roger Corman's The Raven (1963) Every October my daughter and I pick up a few spooky movies to get into the Halloween groove. This year, I had the pleasure of introducing her to one of my all time favourite horror comedy classics, Director Roger Corman's "The Raven." The screenplay is adapted (VERY loosely) from the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem. This is one of Corman's many American International Picture adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's works, and one of his best. As the king of "b" horror movies, Corman knew had to make the most out of a tight budget. His stylish films consistently used good source material, well written screenplays, lavish set designs, locations, props, costumes and great horror stars. "The Raven" boasts no less a cast than Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter ... Read More

10.Mask of Dimitrios (1944) starring: Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Zachary Scott, Faye Emerson, Victor Francen directed by: Jean Negulesco June 09, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $24.48
With all respect to the wonderful Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet, I feel that it's Zachary Scott, in hisfirst film, who makes this one unforgettable. He's sinister, treacherous, vicious, and utterly amoral---and you can't take your eyes off him, any more than you could stop watching a cobra rearing up in front of you. You can see how Faye Emerson (in a memorable performance) falls in love with him. Adapted from Eric Ambler's spy thriller, "A Coffin for Dimitrios," this was directed by Jean Negulesco, who did the quite different but equally well crafted "Humoresque" two years later. We can be grateful that it's available, if only on VHS.
