1.Zorro the Gay Blade starring: George Hamilton, Lauren Hutton, Brenda Vaccaro, Ron Leibman, Donovan Scott directed by: Peter Medak January 19, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.88
George Hamiliton is at his best this is a fun movie I watch it often.

2.Rhinestone starring: Sylvester Stallone, Dolly Parton, Richard Farnsworth, Ron Leibman, Tim Thomerson directed by: Bob Clark March 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
I saw this movie about 8 or 10 years ago and I thought it was absolutely hilarious! I found it on DVD and for a great price! The only reason I can think that it bombed in the box office is because no one wanted to see Sly in a comedy; it was all about 'Rocky' and 'Rambo'. And what the heck is he doing making a film with Dolly Parton, right? Well, I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor. Yes, it's an 80's flick, but still, it is full of hilarity!

3.Norma Rae starring: Barbara Baxley, Beau Bridges, Robert Broyles, John Calvin, Booth Colman January 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
Norma Rae I saw the film (from my Dad's Collection), in our home theatre. Granted the acting is very good, the production is excellent and the story relevant, there's still something irritating (for me) in the way a young mother, Sally Field, ignores her husband (Beau Bridges) and kids to spend every possible moment , day and night, with a slimy union official (Ron Liebman). They are trying to bring the bring the workers at a Southern Textile Plant into much-needed solidarity and director, Martin Ritt is obviously trying equally as hard to avoid the usual cliches of the hard-hearted, pig-headed, capitalistic boss and the passive severely put-upon workers. Sally Field succeeds more than Ritt does. On the one hand, the textile workers learn how to strike, get better wages and a little employer respect. ... Read More

4.Slaughterhouse Five starring: Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Valerie Perrine directed by: George Roy Hill July 07, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.79
First off, I've never read the book. That said, I must say that what I find most intriguing about the Billy Pilgrim character (Michael Sacks) in SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE is how much of a true pilgrim he is. He is unhitched from time, while simultaneously, due to his own pleasant personality and ever-calm demeanor, Billy is also a traveler through space. He drifts through life as a disengaged observer, like a cork floating down a stream. Billy is a warm, innocent human being who is utterly removed from his own existence! He watches / feels things unfold like a character in a play. He reminds me of Peter Sellars' Chauncy Gardener in BEING THERE. Adrift in a universe that simply takes him wherever it will. The main segments of Billy's life are presented from his own disengaged viewpoint. We get to go along with him ... Read More

5.Where's Poppa starring: George Segal, Ruth Gordon, Ron Leibman, Trish Van Devere, Barnard Hughes directed by: Carl Reiner September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
When I first saw this movie many years ago, I thought it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. How one's perceptions change with age. Two friends and I were discussing the current trends in movies and I told them about Where's Poppa and how funny it was, so we decided to have dinner and a movie together. We are all over fifty and found the movie to be embarrassing and not funny at all. We could all empathize with the son who was stuck with an aging mother but could not condone his way of deealing with her.We found the scene where the cab driver passes the black woman to pick up the guy in the gorrilla suit to be blatantly racist and fortunately it would not be allowed today. The scenes between George Segal and Tricia Van Devere are inane. It was a waste of money.

6.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.

7.Just the Ticket starring: Fred Asparagus, Andre B. Blake, Richard Bradford, Patrick Breen, Jack Cafferty January 04, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
JUST THE TICKET, is definitely not a waste of cash as a movie rental, although it's debatable whether the audience will enjoy being taken on the highs and lows that this story tells, of a ticket scalper (black market ticket reseller.) It does work well, as a rental. The story is a homage in part, to the illegal alien population of the USA that numbers in the 10 to 20 million, who have no ID papers, having been born outside the country or in circumstances that didn't allow them to get papers. As such, they have to hustle in jobs offering little or no job security, such as reselling services on the streets, in a cat and mouse game with law enforcement, and this affects their personal lives, that often are in chaos. Starring Andy ... Read More

8.Romantic Comedy starring: Dudley Moore, Mary Steenburgen, Frances Sternhagen, Janet Eilber, Robyn Douglass directed by: Arthur Hiller September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.10
This film is not as bad as Leonard Maltin claims, in his much-read movie book, but it does lack a lot, beginning with the script. The film consists of more than two hours of a couple of writers, somehow in love with each other but unable or unwilling to marry, fussing, fighting, and shouting. And in the end, even though their sexual escapade proved less than thrilling, they end in a clinch on a couch. Happing ending. The film is not very romantic and certainly isn't funny. The moral dimensions of the script are wholly secular and consistently depressing. Marriage and children are nothing when compared to sexual urges, booze, and fame. But there are some good lines in places. And the acting is superb. Dudley Moore and Mary Steenburgen are something to behold. The music is above average, and Arthur Hiller displays ... Read More

9.Art of Crime starring: Ron Leibman, David Hedison, Jill Clayburgh, Eugene Roche, José Ferrer directed by: Richard Irving February 16, 1994

10.Auto Focus starring: Greg Kinnear, Willem Dafoe, Rita Wilson, Maria Bello, Ron Leibman directed by: Paul Schrader July 08, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I just saw this film for the second time over the weekend and must, once again, express amazement over the outstanding work that Greg Kinnear put in. I grew up watching Hogan's Heroes and I think he made an excellent Bob Crane. As for Willem Dafoe, I don't recall him ever being less than spectacular in anything I've seen. Generally when he is on camera it is impossible not to train one's eyes on him. He was a highly believable John Carpenter. What can one say about the lives these two men led? To them having sex or any other human interaction was secondary, in terms of pleasure, to watching their act as a video recording at a later date. Their proclivities make no sense to the normal person. We watch these characters with total bewilderment. The later Crane is a bit of an everyman in relation to social outcastes, however. ...
