1.Above & Beyond starring: Robert Taylor, Eleanor Parker, James Whitmore, Larry Keating, Larry Gates directed by: Melvin Frank, Norman Panama June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.95
Paul Tibbets-Enola Gay both names that mean part of the history. This is an absorbing subject, carefully handled about the officer who piloted and drooped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Even I think Taylor wasn't the most appropriate actor for this role, ( I just can think in three names for that moment: Robert Donat, Fredric March and Michael Redgrave) and the film surely would have elevated to a major status. The only default to my mind is the real nightmare derived from this action; the awful sequels that surrounded the mind and personality of Tibbets are simply absent. There was a very long introduction showing the backgrounds. A well supporting cast accompanied him. Good point for Melvin Frank. Two years later after this film was released, the American journalist ... Read More

2.Ice Palace starring: Richard Burton, Robert Ryan, Martha Hyer, Jim Backus, Carolyn Jones directed by: Vincent Sherman April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.77
If only this was on DVD, but we can't have everything. Great story and better than fair acting. When it comes out on DVD I'll be buying it again, if only for the scenery.

3.Gallant Hours starring: Raymond Bailey, Robert Burton, James Cagney, Richard Carlyle (II), Ward Costello September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.89
Great performance by Cagney. As everyone else has mentioned - with so many BAD war movies out - where's the DVD of this?

4.Where Eagles Dare starring: Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure, Patrick Wymark, Michael Hordern directed by: Brian G. Hutton August 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.59
Clint Eastwood probably mowed down more of Adolf Hitler's German soldiers in Brian G. Hutton's "Where Eagles Dare" than he did western outlaws as either Sergio Leone's Man with No Name in the "Dollars" trilogy or criminals as "Dirty Harry" in his five Warner Brothers crime movies. Bestselling British author Alistair MacLean penned the splendid screenplay that he later converted into a much tamer novel about a team of elite British M.I. 6 secret agents that parachute into Germany to rescue one of the top-ranking officers with a mother lode of knowledge about the June 6th Normandy landings. This MGM blockbuster that runs 158 minutes is probably the greatest action-adventure movie with a World War II setting ever produced. We're talking wall-to-wall gunfire with more surprises and complications than most movies ... Read More

5.The Transformers - The Movie (American Version) starring: Orson Welles, Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy, Norman Alden, Jack Angel directed by: Nelson Shin November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.69
This is the title that was the trend setter above all else.Not perfect,but by no means lacking either,Hell!!!, it even had a curse word in it!The true standard bearer.A must for any and all fans!!!

6.The Sandpiper starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Eva Marie Saint, Charles Bronson, Robert Webber directed by: Vincente Minnelli February 22, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.00
ok, now THIS one is dick & liz at their most self-indulgent. even "boom" (not yet released on dvd, alas) is a better movie, if only because it is sooooo bad. it is amazing to realize that right after this, arguably her worst performance, taylor went on to give her best in "virginia wolff". i have given this a second star because the shorts about the making of the film (included on the dvd) are pretty interesting. only for dick & liz completists.

7.Journey for Margaret starring: Robert Young, Laraine Day, Fay Bainter, Nigel Bruce, Margaret O'Brien directed by: W.S. Van Dyke December 23, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $25.99
Journey for Margaret is a powerful story about the lives of civilians during World War II. It begins with a newspaperman named John Davis (Robert Young) and his wife Nora (Laraine Day). John does everything he can to protect his wife who is in delicate condition. She tries her hardest to be the perfect wife, cooking and cleaning and making the hallway where they sleep due to lack of housing as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, the building is bombed, and even though Nora is saved, she is hurt so badly that she can no longer have children. She feels worthless and goes to America to put on a brave face. In the meantime, John goes to an orphanage to write a story about the children who have lost their parents due to the war. There he meets a sweet girl named Margaret (Margaret O'Brien) who refuses to take off her "bomb" ... Read More

8.Armed & Dangerous starring: John Candy, Meg Ryan, Eugene Levy, Robert Loggia, Kenneth McMillan directed by: Mark L. Lester June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.41
What a classic! I remember this when I was much younger. It would come on HBO and my mom would record it, but edit out all the bad stuff. It was so great to see it in it's entirety! Classic John Candy as Dooley and Eugene Levy as Cane. Hilarious!!! Oh and Meg Ryan was soo cute before all the lip injections! It's funny to look at people back in the day and now. 99% of them should've left themselves alone!

9.Man Called Peter starring: Richard Todd, Jean Peters, Marjorie Rambeau, Jill Esmond, Les Tremayne directed by: Henry Koster March 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.82
This is one of those movies that will warm your heart and truly make you feel good. Ernest Hemingway once said that all true stories end in death, and this is a true story. But that aside, and even though the title character, Peter Marshall, meets his death, it is not at all sad, it is the story of how a man lived and the wonder he brought into his life and the joy of all those he touched. The performances of Richard Todd and Jean Peters are riveting and powerful. I don't believe that any other actor could have portrayed this character any better. This film shows an era in Hollywood that was remarkable, and the actors relied on talent, not effects. This movie is a must see for all ages, definitely a family picture. It is an inspiration.

10.The Spy Who Came in From the Cold starring: Richard Burton, Oskar Werner, Claire Bloom, Sam Wanamaker, George Voskovec directed by: Martin Ritt October 12, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.77
There are already many well-written reviews for this classic B&W cold war film that stars Richard Burton as a broken-down,drunken and disillusioned field operative(read SPY).One of the best espionage pictures ever made--it holds up very well,even upon multiple viewings.Based on the John LeCarre novel of the same name;this is the film responsible for introducing me to LeCarre`s novels.As excellent as the movie is-I still reommend reading the book first! Thanks for reading!
