1.Lifeguard starring: Sam Elliott, Anne Archer, Stephen Young, Parker Stevenson, Kathleen Quinlan directed by: Daniel Petrie January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.44
Filmed in 1975, "Lifeguard" relays the story of an aging L.A. lifeguard (Sam Elliott) during the summer of '75. He suffers an early mid-life crisis when his friends and family continually reveal their disappoval of his career choice. This is heightened when he attends his 15-year high school reunion where he reunites with a recently-divorced ex-flame (Anne Archer). To complicate matters Elliot runs into a cute underage teen on the beach (Kathleen Quinlin) who makes him feel like an Adonis. I remember cathing "Lifeguard" on tv sometime in the '90s and all I can remember is what a great film it was. I never heard of it before but the story took me right in and captivated me throughout. This is truly a secret gem from the 70s. What makes it work so well? For one thing ... Read More

2.Skin Game starring: James Garner, Louis Gossett Jr., Susan Clark, Brenda Sykes, Edward Asner directed by: Gordon Douglas, Paul Bogart February 07, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.54
In the mid-70's James Garner & Louis Gossett teamed up in two memorable episodes of "The Rockford Files". Before that, however, they starred in "The Skin Game" with Susan Clark (best known as the mother on the t.v. show "Webster"). The Skin game is a smart comedy which also functions as an effective critique of the institution of slavery. All three stars are appealing and Garner does what he did best in "Maverick" and Rockford -- the con game. The con here is simple but enjoyable. The movie includes good performances by several familiar character actors of the era and features Ed Asner as the slave-trading bad guy. Due to "political correctness" I don't know if this movie could get made today, which is a shame. Highly recommended!

3.Say Goodbye Maggie Cole starring: Leigh Adams, Richard Anderson, Harry Basch, Richard Carlyle (II), Dane Clark April 01, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.99
Because there won't be a dry eye in the place when Michele Nichols, a young leukemia patient, says goodbye to Susan Hayward's Dr. Maggie Cole. Darrin McGavin once again demonstrated he is one of Hollywood's most solid performers.

4.Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here starring: Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Robert Blake, Susan Clark, Barry Sullivan directed by: Abraham Polonsky March 05, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.85
***** 1969. Adapted from Harry Lawton's Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, this film was written and directed by Abraham Polonsky. A brand new zone 2 DVD of it is now available at Amazon.fr in a pristine copy. Texas, 1909. American Indian Willie Boy is hunted by sheriff Robert Redford in the desert. Both will lose there their last illusions. One can either enjoy this western as a powerful drama or appreciate the way Abraham Polonsky comments one of the rare American myths. A masterpiece that needs to be seen at least twice to be fully understood.

5.Nothing to Lose (1997) starring: Susan Barnes, Penny Bae Bridges, Patrick Cranshaw, Giancarlo Esposito, Rebecca Gayheart August 25, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I love seeing Martin Lawrence movies and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I still think its funny after all these years and I had to have it.

6.Showdown (1973) starring: Rock Hudson, Dean Martin, Susan Clark, Donald Moffat, John McLiam directed by: George Seaton November 24, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.35
A very fine western,. Suspensful. A different western, but still classic in many ways. Dean Martin is truly great in this one. It is a very sad movie also. As a viewer you get very much engagedand involved. I came to hate Rocks Hudson's character, or not the charatcter itself but the way he behaved, his foolish stubbornes.

7.Valdez Is Coming starring: Burt Lancaster, Susan Clark, Frank Silvera, Jon Cypher, Richard Jordan directed by: Edwin Sherin September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.79
"He can shoot ... and he knows when to move" (the segundo) Seeing this movie for the first time on the old TNT Western Theatre back in the early 1990s, don't know why I waited this long to enter a review. Also, I know nothing of altered or cut scenes from this movie, the Sharps rifle shoot has always been in whatever version I have viewed. Former frontier sheriff, Roberto Valdez is an object of laughter and a person to be ignored, when he only seeks justice and money for the injured innocent. So when Bob Valdez, ex-Army Apache hunter--before he knew better--comes back, "they were still laughing ..., and then they began to die. Based on the 1970 Elmore Leonard book of the same title, this film has to be one of the best, top five films, one can count ... Read More

8.Airport 1975 starring: Charlton Heston, Karen Black, George Kennedy, Gloria Swanson, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. directed by: Jack Smight March 05, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
This sequel to the original "Airport" is much better written and acted. Unlike the first "Airport" this film actually has suspense and a plot. A small place crashes into a 747 (right into the cockpit, wouldn't you know) and either kills or severely injures the flight crew. A stewardess is left to bring the jumbo jet safely back to earth. Charlton Heston gives a pretty good performance as the boyfriend of the pilot/stewardess and other cast members like George Kennedy (how did he get so lucky to be in all of these movies?) and Karen Black portray believeable, if not a bit predictable, characters. I will say the guys in the Salt Lake City air traffic control tower leave a lot to be desired, but they are the weakest of the film's cast. In the end all is well and things work out. While ...

9.The Apple Dumpling Gang starring: Bill Bixby, Susan Clark, Don Knotts, Tim Conway, Harry Morgan directed by: Norman Tokar March 19, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.19
Bought back a lot of childhood memories. This is still a very funny movie! Since Don Knotts passed away I have watched several of his movies. He was a very funny actor!

10.Promises in the Dark starring: Marsha Mason, Ned Beatty, Susan Clark, Michael Brandon, Kathleen Beller directed by: Jerome Hellman September 26, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.88
Marcia Mason and Kathleen Beller are unforgetable. I remember viewing this on television in the late 70's and watching it with my grandmother. Although it's a tearjerker, I always loved this movie. Marcia Mason is wonderful as the doctor and Kathleen (very much remembered for her role on Dynasty) does some of her finest work in this film as her patient who is dying. I am so happy to be able to buy this film and watch it again and again...
