1.Treasure Island (1990) starring: Charlton Heston, Christian Bale, Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Richard Johnson directed by: Fraser Clarke Heston December 18, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.00
This is indeed the very best film version of Robert Louis Stevenson's definitive pirate adventure ever made. Christian Bale plays the young Jim Hawkins and Charlton Heston is Long John Silver, and both are excellent. Add Christopher Lee as Blind Pew and the rest of a terrific cast including Oliver Reed, Clive Wood, and Julian Glover among the many actors that bring the story to life. Filmed on location in Jamaica and on the awesome ship Hispaniola, the scenery and cinematography are marvelous. And the soundtrack is performed by The Cheiftains! It is the best pirate soundtrack ever, adding great drama and realism to the proceedings, since the music seems so timely for the period. Heston's Long John Silver is sensational, and his son Fraser's direction is ... Read More

2.Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming / TV Movie starring: Jason Connery, Kristin Scott Thomas, Patricia Hodge, David Warner, Colin Welland directed by: Ferdinand Fairfax 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
Never had it crossed my mind that Ian Fleming himself was once an agent himself. After viewing this neat TV movie it doesn't surprise me how Fleming was inspired to create his literary hero, soon to become cinematic emblem. The movie begins with the origin of young Ian Fleming, he was a son of rich parents, he never needed anything, and everything was at his disposal. As we see him transcend to young adulthood we see a very similar persona to that of 007. We see him as a womanizer and a man of wit and class. shortly in the film he is expelled from various private schools due to misadventures with women. His mother decides to put him in a military academy so he can learn a lesson...he ends up doing the same thing; finally his mother decides to put him in a news bureau known as Reuters. ... Read More

3.Anne of The Thousand Days starring: Richard Burton, Geneviève Bujold, Irene Papas, Anthony Quayle, John Colicos directed by: Charles Jarrott February 28, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.00
I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it when it was released. What acting! Don't you love to hear Richard Burton's voice? And Ms. Bujold...her acting makes the part. Now for some good news I wanted to share. I went to the Universal Movie Studios website, actually to ask them when the TV series Centennial might ever be released on DVD (another absolute favorite of mine) and it says on the site that on Sept. 18, 2007 it will be released on DVD as a 2-movie collection: Anne of The Thousand Days and Mary, Queen of Scots. Did I make anyone else's day like reading that made mine? Hope so.

4.A Guy Named Joe starring: Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, Van Johnson, Ward Bond, James Gleason directed by: Victor Fleming September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.59
A GUY NAMED JOE is a wonderful, old-fashioned, patriotic film made in 1944 during WWII. Starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, Van Johnson, Ward Bond, and Lionel Barrymore, A GUY NAMED JOE is the story of Pete (Tracy), a hot shot bomber pilot, who dies when he purposefully crashes his disabled plane into a German aircraft carrier. Dorinda (Dunne), Pete's girl friend and a pilot with the Women's Air Ferrying Corps, is devastated, especially since she has just convinced Pete to take a safer assignment stateside teaching new recruits how to fly. In Heaven, which looks remarkably like an Army airfield only with soft, fluffy, white clouds on the ground, "The Commanding General" (Barrymore) makes Pete a guardian angel to Ted Randall (Johnson), a young, unsure Army pilot. Pete invisibly helps Ted through ... Read More

5.The Cheyenne Social Club starring: James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Shirley Jones, Sue Ane Langdon, Elaine Devry directed by: Gene Kelly May 11, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.89
The "Cheyenne Social Club" features two legendary actors who define Hollywood's portrayal of the American West. Texas cowboy O'Hanlon (Stewart) receives a letter from a lawyer in Cheyenne notifying him that his brother D.J. has passed away and that he has become the heir to his late brother's estate. He and his saddle-pal Harley Sullivan (Fonda) leave the Texas range and begin the 1000 mile ride to Wyoming. The trip to Cheyenne provides the backdrop for a 1000 mile conversation by Sullivan, much to the bemused annoyance of the stoic O'Hanlon. Upon their arrival, O'Hanlon finds he has become "a man of property", and is now the proud owner of the legendary "Cheyenne Social Club." He is soon shocked to find his "property" is a notorious frontier bordello known and revered throughout the west. It ... Read More

This is a superb production! Richard Jordan's finest performance. Anthony Perkins is a remarkable Javert, managing to make him both reprehensible and sympathathic. Bravo!

8.The Birds II: Land's End starring: Brad Johnson, Chelsea Field, James Naughton, Jan Rubes, Tippi Hedren directed by: Alan Smithee, Rick Rosenthal January 15, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.00
It figures. Something like this was bound to happen to me. After viewing all the reveiws off amazon, I was just a bit curious of The Birds II. It sounded exciting, but compared to everyone else's opinion, I seriously didn't think much of it. Somehow I predicted once I bought it, I would make a regret, but no. I actually liked it. To tell the truth, I make no regrets about buying it. I loved it, which is the problem. In B low-grade movies everyone else despises, I end up to be the one who breaks that chain. That's me of course. I suggest this movie to anyone who likes sequels to good movies. Not as good as the original, but good. Ted and May Hocken (Brad Johnson, and Chelsea Field) and their daughters just want to get away from the normal world. Can you blame them after losing their son 5 years before? ... Read More

10.Wise Blood starring: Ned Beatty, Joe Dorsey, Brad Dourif, Richard Earle, Betty Lou Groover January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $28.39
This great, unjustly forgotten John Huston film has fallen by the wayside, and that's a real shame. A striking cinematic adaptation of the Flannery O'Connor novel, Wise Blood boasts Brad Dourif in the lead role, Hazel Motes, and Dourif nails it. When you see the film, you realize it would be really tough to imagine anyone else alive at the time being able to carry off the role. Harry Dean Stanton, as usual, adds his terrific skills as the "blind" preacher Asa Hawkes, and Ned Beatty is also along for the ride as singing preacher Hoover Shoates. Motes, Hawkes, and Shoates--all preachers. This is O'Connor country, and Huston himself shows up as another preacher, Hazel Motes' grandfather, who spews fire and brimstone, inculcating his grandson in the fierce and vengeful ways of the Lord. And so Hazel grows up to preach ... Read More
