1.Turning Point starring: Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leslie Browne, Tom Skerritt directed by: Herbert Ross May 19, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.40
I am very surprised that this movie had this high ratings. I may agree with others on the right casting, but this was not my genre. I mean, I love watching ballet but I hated to see ballet connected with divorce, alcohol, sexual relationships before marriage, jealous, mean words and actions, and swearing words. It was a very ugly movie with a beautiful ballet. The dance was exquisite but I didn't enjoy it at all because I didn't like the characters at all. When my daughter covered her ears, I had to turn it off. The peace came back as soon as it was shut off. I picked this movie because it was on the government's pick list, but I don't think my Heavenly Father wants me to watch this again.

2.Evening Star starring: Shirley MacLaine, Bill Paxton, Juliette Lewis, Miranda Richardson, Ben Johnson directed by: Robert Harling October 14, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
By the time Jack Nicholson shows up for about five minutes of screen time as Garrett Breedlove, this turgid 1996 sequel to 1983's Terms of Endearment has already slogged through two deaths, a psychotherapist with an Oedipal complex, and a lot of scrapbooks. The problems with this shamelessly manipulative movie are many, and they all begin with the inevitable premise that tough Texas matron Aurora Greenway can carry on without being challenged by her feisty daughter Emma. However, without Debra Winger's earthy grit counterbalancing Shirley MacLaine's flamboyant disapproval, the story seems to work in a vacuum. Much of the appeal and resonance of the first film came from how these characters dealt with life's unpredictable course and how James L. Brooks captured their idiosyncrasies with a refreshing ...

3.Out on a Limb Miniseries starring: Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance, John Heard, Anne Jackson, Jerry Orbach directed by: Robert Butler January 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.98
Shirley Maclaine's willingness to risk ridicule with her candor is to be commended. She powerfully states what many people fear to speak of. This book inspired me and in fact, if the title had not been taken, may very well have been the title for "Blessings In The Mire." Because she is such a celebrity figure, Maclaine risked more than an average joe. By expressing her beliefs, she opened herself up to the skeptics, the critics, the hecklers. If for nothing else, Ms. Maclaine should be commended for her candor and bavery, but with this statement aside, the book stands on its own for being extremely thought provoking, for creating dialog between believers and skeptics, and for being an extremely well written volume. KUDOS to to Shirley Maclaine for her skill and talent as a proficient author. She is ... Read More

4.Wrestling Ernest Hemingway starring: Robert Duvall, Richard Harris, Shirley MacLaine, Sandra Bullock, Micole Mercurio directed by: Randa Haines September 14, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.50
This is a great movie. I saw it on cable TV some time ago. I want to buy this, but must have a DVD. Who do we write to request this?

5.Inner Workout starring: Shirley Maclaine, Suzanne Doucet, Constance Demby January 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.00
I love this video and have owned it for year. Great introduction to chakras and has wonderful meditations with beautiful visuals.

6.These Old Broads starring: Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins, Elizabeth Taylor, Jonathan Silverman directed by: Matthew Diamond January 02, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.54
When you have stars of this caliber, who needs a real plot? They do terrific send ups of themselves and the result is a funny, funny film. The fact that Reynolds and Taylor got together on screen makes the experience even more memorable. Don't go in expecting Shakespeare ... but sit back and enjoy the inside jokes and the incredible talent of four of the living legends of Hollywood.

7.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!

8.Madame Sousatzka starring: Shirley MacLaine, Navin Chowdhry, Peggy Ashcroft, Twiggy, Shabana Azmi directed by: John Schlesinger March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.44
Although there is one rather foul word in the movie, for the most part, the movie is excellent. Great music, and a story that makes you think.

9.Baryshnikov: The Dancer and the Dance starring: Mikhail Baryshnikov, Shirley MacLaine October 22, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.50
Baryshnikov at his brilliant best. Covering his introduction to the world of ballet in The Soviet Union, until his time with The New York Ballet Co. Wonderfully presented by Shirley MacLaine who seems to put Baryshnikov very much at ease in the interviews. The Video finishes with the very complicated and intriguing ballet. Truly amazing dancing by the whole company. Filmed in 1983 with very good visual and audio quality.

10.Matchmaker (1958) (B&W) starring: Shirley Booth, Anthony Perkins, Shirley MacLaine, Paul Ford, Robert Morse directed by: Joseph Anthony January 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.79
Thornton Wilder's 1955 Broadway play THE MATCHMAKER was one of his most celebrated efforts, starring Ruth Gordon as the meddling matchmaker Dolly Gallagher-Levi. Paramount snatched up the film rights, and three years later it became a box office sensation with stage/screen actress Shirley Booth (an Oscar winner for 1952's "Come Back Little Sheba") in the title role. Set in turn-of-the-century Yonkers and New York, the story spins around Mrs Dolly Gallagher-Levi (Shirley Booth), a widow who dabbles in matchmaking. Her most influential client is Mr Horace Vandergelder (Paul Ford), a half-millionaire and the owner of the Yonkers general-store. Having arranged a marriage for Horace with lovely New York milliner Irene Molloy (Shirley MacLaine), Dolly has a last-minute change of heart when she decides that ... Read More
