1.The Competition starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Amy Irving, Lee Remick, Sam Wanamaker, Joseph Cali directed by: Joel Oliansky June 23, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.98
Love the music, love the mood. Want to replace my VHS tape with the DVD. Please release it!

2.James and the Giant Peach (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) starring: Paul Terry, Joanna Lumley, Pete Postlethwaite, Simon Callow, Richard Dreyfuss directed by: Henry Selick October 15, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
As a mother of two kids (ages 8 and 6), I have read nearly all of the Roald Dahl books multiple times in the past few years. We all love his writing - his stories are usually quite dark and yet offer a lot of humor, warmth and love as well. James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful story and well worth reading with your children. Mind you, there is the usual dose of Dahl meanness and nastiness but it is great story with many wonderful characters, budding relationships, and ultimately a very happy ending. I was thus incredibly disappointed when we borrowed this DVD from our local library. The screenwriter took far too much liberty in changing things. I found it crude and insulting to the memory of Roald Dahl. If you have read the book, you know, for example, that the two horrible ... Read More

3.Jaws - 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition starring: Susan Backlinie, John Bahr, Peter Benchley, Richard Dreyfuss, Lee Fierro July 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.24
JAWS is probably the best film ever made in a century besides Citizen Kane. Otherwise, Jaws still frightens millions of people.

4.Once Around starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, Danny Aiello, Laura San Giacomo, Gena Rowlands directed by: Lasse Hallström January 20, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The script is excellent. The acting is great. The characters are strong. And the plotting, for a family drama, is certainly good. But the ending here is a REAL downer. If you don't mind such a bummer ending, this is a really worthwhile film. The first two-thirds of it are superb. It's not that the last third is bad; not at all. It's just that in the last third real tragedy strikes and yes, we all know that's real because that's what life can do. But don't expect this movie to make you feel good when you're finished watching it. You can admire the acting and the script and the direction, all of which are first-rate. But the story ends on a very low note. Just a word of warning. OK, we all know not every story has a happy ending. But this has the exact antithesis of a happy ending. ... Read More

5.What About Bob starring: Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss, Julie Hagerty, Charlie Korsmo, Kathryn Erbe directed by: Frank Oz April 21, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I had to review What About Bob? because this is one of the few comedies that almost everyone related to me really seems to like. I know just about every line by heart and sometimes can't help but say them out loud before the character does. Bill Murray is at his best here as the annoying OCD patient, but you can't help but care about this guy. Richard Dreyfuss knocks it out of the park as Dr. Leo Marvin. This is a great performance that just builds and builds until he finally snaps into a murderous rage. He gets just as many laughs as Bill Murray. If you haven't seen it yet, just buy it for the cheap price. Maybe you can share it with your family and it will become a favorite of your household.

6.Close Encounters of the Third Kind (The Collector's Edition) starring: Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Bob Balaban directed by: Steven Spielberg May 12, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
One thing it might mean is that this is one of the most unique science fiction films ever made. I recently watched it with my wife (who very rarely enjoys any kind of sci-fi), a friend, and that friend's wife (who simply detests all sci-fi). Yet everyone enjoyed it. (My friend and I had already seen it.) "This means something," is a recurring line throughout CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, similar to "I've got a bad feeling about this," in the STAR WARS films. So, the dialogue is not the best ever written. But CE3K contains a human element interwoven throughout both the character development as well as the plot development that you're unlikely to find any other science fiction film, and certain not to find in any other UFO film. Often great movies get cloned and copied, and fans ... Read More

7.The American President starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, Anna Deavere Smith directed by: Rob Reiner January 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a skilfully directed and performed piece of leftist propaganda that holds its punches until the film is 80% complete. Then Rob Reiner unloads on you in a presidential speech that contains all the extreme and often crude left wing views that dominate contemporary Hollywood. The huge talents of Bening and Douglas are wasted. The film's writer deserves a special raspberry award for muddying an otherwise unbelievable script. All in all, this film is just the ticket for Michael Moore fans. For people even slightly higher on the intellectual ladder, The American President is a disappointing waste of time.

8.Mr Holland's Opus starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Glenne Headly, Jay Thomas, Olympia Dukakis, William H. Macy directed by: Stephen Herek November 12, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Mr. Holland's Opus is a great movie. I have watched it several times and I will keep watching it. It has so much meaning and caring and Richard Dreyfuss did a great job.

9.Let It Ride starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, David Johansen, Jennifer Tilly, Allen Garfield directed by: Joe Pytka January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.74
My Husband loves this movie! Funny, good ending and not too many curse words!

10.Night Falls on Manhattan starring: Andy Garcia, Richard Dreyfuss, Lena Olin, Ian Holm, James Gandolfini directed by: Sidney Lumet May 05, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Like all other films directed by Sidney Lumet, this is a solid, no-nonsense, intelligent police drama. In my opinion, Andy Garcia exhibits one of his finest performances in this film. Unfortunately, the 1.85:1 widescreen DVD is not enhanced for 16:9 TVs, although the picture and sound are of high quality.
