1.Singin' in the Rain starring: Cyd Charisse, Mae Clarke, Harry Cody, Douglas Fowley, Lance Fuller directed by: Stanley Donen September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
I was hesitant to go for the two disk set, but it's really worth it if you love musicals, and love MGM movies. The second disk is a great addition, packed with loads of info about Arthur Freed, with commentary by Debbie Reynolds, and it even includes the original film clips of the songs in the movie. This is a great choice for a fan.

2.Being There starring: Ruth Attaway, Richard Basehart, Fran Brill, Alfredine P. Brown, Oteil Burbridge December 08, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.95
Perhaps one of his best films, Chance the Gardiner (Sellers) delivers a master performance for any viewer...of course the film is dryer than a pair of old ladies on a golf course but the episodes that take place in the film are sure to please any audience!

3.Franklin - Franklin's Magic Christmas starring: Elizabeth Saunders, Leah Cudmore, Richard Newman, Noah Reid, Luca Perlman November 06, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.25
Franklin's Magic Christmas was a delight to watch with my three year old daughter. The story kept her interest and had a "magical" feel. She requests to watch it again, and again. A sure sign of a winner!

4.Sweet Bird of Youth (1962) starring: Paul Newman, Geraldine Page, Shirley Knight, Ed Begley, Rip Torn directed by: Richard Brooks September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
THIS MOVIE, DISAPPOINTED TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES MADE BY THE CENSORS. THE FILM DOES CONVEY THE ACTUAL PERSONALITY OF THIS POSSIBLY GREATEST OF ALL AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHTS. A REAL INSIGHT INTO THE INNER PSYCHE OF MR. WILLIAMS, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A "POET OF THE EMOTIONS". THE CHARACTER OF ALEXANDRA DE LAGO MIRRORED THE PERSONALITY OF MR. WILLIAMS, IN THAT HE HAD EXPERIENCED A BRILLIANT CAREER, AND WAS GETTING OLDER, AND SUFFERING MORE HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE CHANCE WAYNE CHARACTER PLAYED BY PAUL NEWMAN, ILLUSTRATES THE TYPE OF MAN MR. WILLIAMS WAS MOST EMOTIONALLY ATTRACTED TO IN LIFE. GERALDINE PAGE GIVES AN INTERESTING PERFORMANCE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER FILM, IF INDEED TALLULAH BANKHEAD COUD HAVE PLAYED THIS PART, ESPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR HER BY MR. WILLIAMS, ...

5.Career (1959) starring: Dean Martin, Anthony Franciosa, Shirley MacLaine, Carolyn Jones, Joan Blackman directed by: Joseph Anthony November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.95
Anthony Franciosa stars as a young actor who goes to New York with big dreams and, of course, finds that it's a lot harder to make it on the stage than he realized. Dean Martin co-stars as his director/buddy, Shirley MacLaine is the alcoholic daughter of a famed Broadway producer with whom both men get involved, and Carolyn Jones is a former actress turned successful agent. There's nothing in this material that is original or especially fresh, since it follows a basic plotline we've seen before. Franciosa comes on strong (and sometimes too strong) as the idealistic actor who must decide how much idealism he can afford. Martin is solid and understated, while MacLaine chews the scenery when allowed. Jones creates the most memorable character, mixing in pathos, humour, and a world-weary experience. It's ... Read More

6.Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now starring: Matthew Macfadyen, Paloma Baeza, Cheryl Campbell, Shirley Henderson, Douglas Hodge directed by: David Yates April 30, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.17
I thought this would be really good but it is not for my taste I really like 1800 movies and this is not up to it.

7.Redwood Curtain starring: Jeff Daniels, Lea Salonga, Debra Monk, Catherine Hicks, John Lithgow directed by: John Korty August 17, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
A wonderful movie with fine performances by a great ensemble cast. The whole film, from start to finish is excellent. Lithgow's performance as an adoptive father striving to encourage his adopted daughter's, Salonga, musical career will touch a lot of buttons. Her longing to know her birth family is topical as well as intensely personal, a good blend. The adoptive mother flits in and out; obviously not all that interested in her adoptive daughter. Lithgow's sudden death leads to to a further estrangement between mother and daughter. A trip to visit Lithgow's sister starts a whole new series of events for Salonga and her meeting with Daniels and all that comes from that. The ending is a complete surprise but at the same times, explains much. A well crafted and performed movie. Even the small roles are done well, ... Read More

8.Barney's Great Adventure starring: George Hearn, Shirley Douglas, Trevor Morgan, Diana Rice, Kyla Pratt directed by: Steve Gomer November 05, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.14
This movie is a real movie. Not at all like the Barney on TV. It cannot hold my twins attention like the show. They are only 10 months old so they may like it when they are older, but it is not at all like I expected.

9.Wee Willie Winkie starring: Shirley Temple, Victor McLaglen, C. Aubrey Smith, June Lang, Michael Whalen directed by: John Ford March 12, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
Rudyard Kipling stories have always translated well to film and television, think The Jungle Book, The Man Who Would Be King, and Wee Willie Winkie is no exception. In India in 1897, young Priscilla Williams and her mother Joyce are traveling by train to a remote British outpost commanded by Priscilla's grandfather. Upon arriving, Priscilla finds out that her grandfather doesn't quite know how to interact with little girls so she decides her best option to get to know him is to become a soldier. With the help of the friendly Sgt. Donald McDuff, Priscilla tries to become a soldier, and with a new name at that, Private Wee Willie Winkie. There is something undescribable about this film that makes it so good. It hits all the right notes throughout. Seen through Wee Willie Winkie's eyes, everything is very innocent and child ...

10.A House Divided starring: Sam Waterston, Jennifer Beals, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Tim Daly, Shirley Douglas directed by: John Kent Harrison November 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $24.20
Talk about living history... I've read all the books about this family and I live in the house David built for his daughter Amanda in 1871. I can look out my window and see the spot where David's childhood home once stood. I even met Jennifer Beals when she came to see the house and the land. Although not filmed here, the movie was great - although it did take a little dramatic license. It was known Julia held a very high position of authority, very rare for a woman, much less a black slave woman. It was also apparent David felt much love for his bi-racial daughter Amanda. Only two people know the truth of nature of the relationship between David and Julia that brought Amanda into existence, if indeed David was the father. (He was married for several years and never produced children.) If you're into historical drama, especially ... Read More
