1.Spoilers starring: Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott, John Wayne, Margaret Lindsay, Harry Carey directed by: Ray Enright May 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.35
How can a movie at the end of the "golden era" with three major stars prove to be a dud. Welcome to The Spoilers. The script is weak, containing some real howlers. Marlene is wooden; her face seems to be painted on. (Would that she had danced and tried to sing.) Wayne and Scott smirk through every scene. Even the lengthy fight scene is poorly done; it's fun to watch the double for Scott appear and reappear in the long shots. Oh yes, and the story was supposed to take place in Nome. See if you can be persuaded that anyone left the Universal set. In short, this is a long, long way from Destry Rides Again.

2.Tingler starring: Vincent Price, Judith Evelyn, Darryl Hickman, Patricia Cutts, Pamela Lincoln directed by: William Castle August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.39
I remember watching this movie on Saturday nights when I was a kid. They would show "scary movies" every Saturday night at 10:35. There were only about 8 or 10 they would show randomly. This was our favorite. We never missed it. I bought it to show at our most recent Halloween party and it was as full of suspense as I remember. Even one of our guest remembered it as the "scariest movie he saw as a kid." It was great that the movie brought back good memories for someone else,too.

3.Cabin in the Cotton starring: Richard Barthelmess, Bette Davis, Dorothy Jordan, Hardie Albright, David Landau directed by: Michael Curtiz September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.67
This was Bette's 11th film. She plays the daughter of a wealthy cropper. She falls for one of her poor workers which makes for scandalous headlines with terrible results. I dont want to spoil the story so go and watch it. You will love it.

4.Heroes for Sale starring: Loretta Young, Richard Barthelmess, Aline MacMahon, Gordon Westcott, Robert Barrat directed by: William A. Wellman September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.95
After the dawn of sound, Warner Bros. wandered through the early-talkie wilderness trying their hand at Technicolor musicals and revues that largely did not work out. Around 1930 they changed their output to be what we think of when we think about the Warner Bros. of the 1930's - gritty Depression era films that pulled no punches in depicting the hardships of those days. Here Richard Barthelemess is Tom Holmes. Tom's life is a metaphor for just about every social injustice from 1917 through 1933 you can pack into a 70-plus minute film. Through his life we visit the post-war hardships of WWI doughboys including morphine addiction, the double-edged sword of automation, the Red scares and hysteria of the 1920's, and finally the armies of unemployed Depression-era men treated as lepers as they wandered from town to town ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.49
Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth and such go town to South America where airplane pilots working for the banana industry fly in some pretty dangerous places. A lot of drama and excitement. Who will Cary end up with? Is Jean pregnant - Hollywood style? What is wrong with Rita's new husband? Why doesn't anybody like him, no matter what he does and what did he do to make them hate him? Do you really forget people who died 20 minutes ago? I loved this movie. It was very fun and exciting!

I always thought that Imitation of Life was the greatest tearjerker of all time until I seen "Broken Blossums." It touched me in ways that Imitation of Life never could or ever will.

8.Way Down East starring: Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Lowell Sherman, Burr McIntosh, Kate Bruce directed by: D.W. Griffith June 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.40
2.5 stars. I have no idea how I ended up watching this movie. Overall, the soundtrack was distracting that I literally ended up muting the movie and just reading the placards. It may it a little better. The storyline is an old standard but it's the movie dramatic ice floe scene that is what made this so memorable and squeezed out a 1/2 star from me. This is and feels longs--especially for a silent film. If you're just curious about this as a classic then check it out, if not let it float on by.

9.Tol'able David starring: Richard Barthelmess, Gladys Hulette, Walter P. Lewis, Ernest Torrence, Ralph Yearsley directed by: Henry King June 16, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.79
This 1921 coming-of-age melodrama is set in a provincial small town in West Virginia, home of the Kinemons and the neighboring family the Hatburns. The hero of the story, David Kinemon (Richard Barthelmess), knows he's no longer a little boy, yet no one around him, not even his love interest, Esther Hatburn, seems to understand that. No matter what he says or does to try to prove that he's becoming a man, growing up, becoming more mature, they still think of him and treat him as a kid. Even when his older brother Allen's wife Rose gives birth to a son, making David no longer the family baby, his mother still insists that he'll always be her baby. His one big ambition, to drive the mail wagon, is continually denied because his father and brother don't think he's old or responsible enough yet to do it. Trouble invades this ... Read More
