1.No Time for Sergeants starring: Andy Griffith, Nick Adams, Don Knotts, Murray Hamilton, Howard Smith directed by: Mervyn LeRoy July 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.95
No Time for Sergeants is a funny movie with Andy Griffith. It is good clean humor although it is in the Army. I would like to own this movie but am unable to locate it.

2.Picnic (Widescreen) starring: William Holden, Kim Novak, Betty Field, Susan Strasberg, Cliff Robertson directed by: Joshua Logan June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.09
Both Borders and Barnes and Noble now carry a widescreen version of Picnic: http://video.barnesandnoble.com/DVD/Picnic/William-Holden/e/043396828797/?itm=4 Widescreen on one side, fullscreen on the other. It says "Columbia Classics" across the top of the package. I wish Amazon would carry this version, as I don't want to open a new account at one of those other places just for one item.

3.Gallant Hours starring: Raymond Bailey, Robert Burton, James Cagney, Richard Carlyle (II), Ward Costello September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
Great performance by Cagney. As everyone else has mentioned - with so many BAD war movies out - where's the DVD of this?

5.Vertigo (1958) starring: Isabel Analla, Raymond Bailey, Barbara Bel Geddes, Paul Bryar, Ellen Corby August 03, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.02
Vertigo starring James Stewart is considered a major classic but I found this Hitchcock mystery a letdown. The beautiful backdrop and costume design is breathtaking but the story is slow and kind of made me sick, all the vertigo, ugh! I prefer The Birds, Marnie, or Psycho instead. It's a mixed bag for me.

6.Daredevils of the Red Circle starring: Charles Quigley, Bruce Bennett, David Sharpe, Carole Landis, Miles Mander directed by: John English, William Witney May 30, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
This serial had many firsts. I recognized the actor Bruce Bennett who went on to make dozens of movies and live into the 21st century. Ayn Rand would have loved the heavy, known by his prison number 39013. My cildhood buddy still uses it as his liscence number. It is the story of how a bitter, spiteful failure sets out to destroy a "good capitalist" Like the movies of its day it had good role models, but was not above using a comic sterotype black as the house servant, whose small daily frustrations are actually laughed at. In his bio, director William Witney was aware of this, but foundjustificatio in the fact a role was even created for mostly out-of-work black actors. The heroine is Carole Landis, a beautiful girl whose career took her to stardom at 20th Century Fox then downhill to a tragic suicide. I had not known ... Read More

7.Band of Angels starring: Clark Gable, Yvonne De Carlo, Sidney Poitier, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Rex Reason directed by: Raoul Walsh July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.54
Band of Angels: the acting is passable, not fantastic, but fair enough for a B-Movie. The sets & costumes are wonderful to look at, which is the main reason I'm giving this one 3 stars. The story is entertaining to the end, so in that respect, this is worth seeing at least once. The one actress holding this movie back was Yvonne de Carlo. She's much too old for the part, and not at all believable as being "mulatto" or "quadroon." At times its painful watching her struggle with her lines. They should have cast an actress who was truly of mixed-race to play the part, and a much younger one at that. Then maybe this film would sing the way it was intended. Overall Band of Angels struck me as a dime-store romance novel transported to film.

8.Lafayette Escadrille starring: Raymond Bailey, Etchika Choureau, Marcel Dalio, Denny Devine, Clint Eastwood June 13, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.00
William "Wild Bill" Wellman directed 1927's WINGS the first film to win an Academy Award. "Wild Bill" Wellman was a real life Ace in the US Army Air Corps in World War I. He was wounded, went to Hollywood and ended up a prolific and hard edged director. It would seem fitting that Wellman's last film would be LAFAYETTE ESCADRILLE. Unfortunately Wellman's status as a director had greatly diminished in Hollywood and so was the budget allotted for this would-be epic. Wellman tries to put what style he can into the aerial sequences but essentially this becomes a standard wartime love story via Tab Hunter. The film still boasts good photography by Cinematographer William Clothier and a score by Composer Leonard Rosenman and has an excellent cast including Clint Eastwood, David Janssen, Paul Fix, Will Hutchins, Tom Laughlin, Bret Halsey and William Wellman Jr.

9.The Incredible Shrinking Man starring: Grant Williams, Randy Stuart, April Kent, Paul Langton, Raymond Bailey directed by: Jack Arnold March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.83
Done once. Now unrepeatable. I cannot imagine a remake of this movie which could be anything but worse. It's not a question of the special effects, the digitalization: it's a question of what is genuine and what isn't. I must have seen this incredible creation when it first came out. Perhaps I saw it again, perhaps 40 or so years ago. I can't remember. But I do remember almost all the film's details, which stayed vivid all those years until I watched it again just now. To me this means masterpiece. The concept is quite stunning, and the way it unfolds is masterly. On the face of it, how could a story which merely consists of a man getting smaller be any good? How can a story which has such a lot of voice-over narration make a good movie? Where is the plot? How could there be any suspense? What would be the twists? Somehow this incredibly simple idea works ... Read More

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I love the movie, which is why I bought it, not knowing I couldn't play it on my DVD player. I didn't see or understand afterward the region2, deal. So I have a DVD of a movie I loved, and can't watch it. They will not accept it back as I had opened the package.
