1.Bedknobs & Broomsticks starring: Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Sam Jaffe, John Ericson directed by: Robert Stevenson August 25, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
I loved this movie as a child and my 2 year old loves it too. The animation in the middle of the movie makes it a great surprise for kids.

2.The Day the Earth Stood Still starring: Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe, Billy Gray directed by: Robert Wise June 30, 1998

First and foremost, this is a review for the 1951, black and white, 1.33:1 aspect ratio, 2-disc, special edition DVD and NOT for the remake (Gort! Keanu barada nikto :) Okay so here's the lowdown; as I now have both this new edition and the original single, flipper disc, version, and having watched all of the bonus features on the new 2-disc set, I can tell you this: keep the old disc! Why, because the 73 plus minute, making of, on the original disc is gone, replaced with a new 23 minute fluff piece that only skims the surface of the story, of the making of this film. Gone are the lengthy on camera interviews with the producer, director and female lead, replaced instead with film historian's inane babble, with the odd snippet of voice recordings of the ...

4.Ben Hur (1959) starring: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Stephen Boyd, Haya Harareet, Hugh Griffith directed by: William Wyler September 10, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.89
The story of a prominent and wealthy Jewish family, whose feud with a Roman friend nearly destroys them. An extremely emotional story against the backdrop of the birth and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest epics ever filmed. The chariot race is one of the most impressive and longest action pieces I've ever seen! That sequence alone takes the film out of the realm of greatness into an outstanding piece of visual cinema!

5.The Barbarian and The Geisha starring: John Wayne, Eiko Ando, Sam Jaffe, Sô Yamamura, Kodaya Ichikawa directed by: John Huston January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.49
I first saw this movie in 1958 just before going to Japan with the US Army. It made quite an impact on me and my expectations of the Japanese. The movie does successfully capture some of the Japanese spirit as I know it. John Wayne, though he has been panned in this role, I think, embodies what may have been an accurate portrayal of the typical well meaning American in a culture he could never understand. Years later, when I happened to be in Shimoda, where the film is set, I found a small Japanese Museum, that commorated the self-sacrifice of the Japanese woman, the lovely Okichi, to her community. It depicts the 'facts' of the movie in a totally differnt light. This movie really deserves to be put on DVD !!

6.Lost Horizon (1937) starring: Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt, Edward Everett Horton, John Howard, Thomas Mitchell directed by: Frank Capra June 03, 1997

A movie that will always be remembered. Great for the whole family. Kids will be captivated.

8.Tell Tale Heart (1971) starring: Sam Jaffe November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.00
There are many videos depicting Poe's tales, Tales of Terror is one, but this one truly is gripping. Unlike other films, this one has an unnamed narrator--one of Poe's motifs--and closely follows the short story. It is black & white. I teach 10th grade and love to use this film. It captures the essence of haunting fascination with death, insanity, and retribution from the grave that Poe is all about. In class when I start the film, I usually hear a crack or two about not wanting to watch some dumb black & white film, but within five minutes, the room is silent except for the film. The narrator does a really great job, and when the climax approaches, the sound effects increase making it a sit on the edge of your seat experience. I highly recommend this film if you are ...

9.Gunga Din starring: Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Sam Jaffe directed by: George Stevens May 12, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.74
Haven't seen this movie for 30 years, and yes it's old, but still good fun. The story of a wanabe British soldier of the Raj whose sole claim to fame was that he carried water for the soldiers he so admired. Constantly reminded that he is not a soldier Gunga Din serves with enthusiasm, even when under fire and finally proves that he was the better man. Sure the fight scenes are dated, but it's amazing what they managed to pull off without the benefit of modern technology and expertise built on the expertise of filmakers such as this.

10.The Dunwich Horror starring: Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, Ed Begley, Lloyd Bochner, Sam Jaffe directed by: Daniel Haller July 17, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.37
"The Dunwich Horror" is a movie that claims to be based on horror maestro H.P. Lovecraft's work of the same title, but one can at best describe this movie as a very liberal adaptation of Lovecraft's work. The movie itself stars Dean Stockwell as the sinister Wilbur Whatley who wishes to reclaim his family's dark heritage and standing by summoning the Old Ones through [a] using the Necronomicon, a dark book, and [b] offering up luscious co-ed Sandra Dee as the virginal sacrifice. Luckily for Sandra Dee [this movie proved to be a disastrous comeback movie for her btw, as it was so far off from her earlier successes such as Gidget etc], her college prof, Dr Armitage [Ed Begley in a commendably credible role] is determined to keep her out of harm's way. The special effects are pretty ... Read More
