VHS : Secret War of Harry Frigg
It sure would be nice if this movie were to become available on DVD or
Blu-Ray it it's original theatrical widescreen release. Remastered
sound and picture, if necessary, would be great, too. This is one of
Paul Newman's best films. Looking forward to the day.

VHS : Hornet's Nest
Rock Hudson, a wounded American soldier, is rescued by a band of adolescent Italian boys, who intend to use him as a weapon against the Nazi invaders, who have murdered their families, and destroyed their lives.

The young actors do a wonderful job of expressing the emotional pain and despair of wartime orphans, while retaining the naive exuberance of children pretending to be soldiers. Rock Hudson's character, an unlikely father figure, is impressed by the sincerity of the boys in their quest for revenge, and reluctantly incorporates their enthusiastic assistance into his plan to complete his mission, which was the destruction of a dam held by the Nazi's. The soldier is torn between protecting the boys, and accomplishing his military objective. The resulting conflict is moving, ... Read More

VHS : Lisa And The Devil
While on a trip to Spain, Lisa Reiner (the beautiful Elke Sommer!!) gets hopelessly separated from her tour group, leading to a bizarre oddyssey into the supernatural. Lisa keeps running into a strange, bald guy w/ a mannequin (Telly Savalas from Horror Express), and she apparently kills another man by accidentally knocking him down some stone steps! Poor Lisa wanders through the labyrinth-like streets / alleys of Toledo, having one weird encounter after another, until finally hitching a ride w/ a married couple and their chauffeur. All is well until they have engine trouble, winding up at a huge mansion in the middle of nowhere. The only residents are an old blind woman (Alida Valli), her odd son (Allessio Orano), and their butler (Telly again!). Things drag on for awhile while the dream-like ... Read More

VHS : Battle of Neretva
"The Longest Day" (1962) set up the mold for future "war reconstruction" movies as "Is Paris Burning?" (1966) and "A Bridge too Far" (1977).
"The Battle of the Neretva" (1969) is the Yugoslavian equivalent of them all.
Now that we are used to modern film technology, as shown in "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) or "Band of Brothers" (2001), some war scenes may seem not as realistic as they were intended to be. But that don't detract the merits of this movie. More, in my opinion, it is not dated whatsoever.
One other thing to take into account is that this film was done in a Communist country; nevertheless the characters depicted here are real human beings and not the typical faultless idealized heroes usually presented in Soviet or East European war films of the time.

5.Juliet of the Spirits starring: Giulietta Masina, Sandra Milo, Mario Pisu, Valentina Cortese, Valeska Gert

VHS : Juliet of the Spirits
Federico Fellini's first color film, 1965's Juliet Of The Spirits (Giulietta Degli Spiriti), which was written by Fellini and longtime collaborators Tullio Pinelli, Ennio Flaiano, and Brunello Rondi, is, simply put, the female and color companion piece to 8½. Unlike that prior film, often considered Fellini's best, Juliet Of The Spirits was a critical and financial failure when it came out. The criticism of the film was too harsh for, while it is not as great nor good a film as some earlier Fellini classics, it is still Fellini, which makes it better than the overwhelming majority of films by others, for even when Fellini fails he succeeds at more things than most. However, like many of the first color films made by directors who started in black and white, Fellini seems to overdose on the new medium, ... Read More

Glad to see that the Reeves movies are coming out on dvd. Hercules/Hercules Unchained were the only Herc films starring Reeves and produced by the late, great Joseph E. Levine and costarring the beautiul Sylvia Koscina.These films have a nice musical scoreand good cinematogrophy. Reeves looks like a Greek God with both physique and handsome good looks.These are movies that are fun to watch but won't test your mental muscles. In any event, I rated them both a five and feel that they are worth your time to watch and add to your dvd collection.

VHS : Deadlier Than Male (Ws)
The James Bond craze of the 1960s sent studios scurrying to secure the rights to other literary secret agents and detectives, and alter them to fit the successful 007 formula. Novelist H. C. McNeile's creation "Bulldog Drummond" was showcased in numerous mystery films in the '20s and '30s; for this 1966 spy movie, however, the urbane sleuth was reconfigured into a carbon copy of Bond.

Like the Bond films, there's a strong (and welcome) emphasis on female villainy, represented here in the shape-make that shapes-of blonde Elke Sommer and brunette Sylvia Koscina. They're stunning and, as such, the primary reasons to sit through this run-of-the-mill rehash of the kind of spy movie clichés that Mike Myers has made a cottage industry out of satirizing.
