VHS : It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Ws)
I enjoyed this movie as a kid, but watched it recently and found it to be bloated and dated and not all that funny. However, the final two minutes are one of the most profoundly spiritual moments in the history of cinema.

The lesson learned by Spencer Tracy's character, that life is inherently absurd and laughter is the best medicine for melancholy, is one that we can all benefit from. When sadness strikes, I watch the final two minutes several times in a row, and experience a healing catharsis.

This all sounds a little pompous and pretentious (even to me), but it is true nevertheless.

VHS : Last Remake of Beau Geste
I wish they'd do this one on DVD, because MArty takes the classic Legion Etrangre film (Gary Cooper 1939) and trashes it the way Mel Brooks did "Blazing Saddles" on the Western Genre..... Marty Feldman is a fogotten comic in the vein of Laurel and Hardy or Buster Keaton... When he plays second fiddle.... you laugh a lot!!!!!! DO IT IN DVD......PLEASE!!!

VHS : Save the Last Dance (Special Edition)
I hate this movie with a passion. A blond girl moves to the ghetto and her black boyfriend helps her to regain courage to dance. OMG!!! Somebody save me. This movie was full of stereotypes. Stiles' best friend, a black teenage mother. The black females in the movie were either portrayed ghetto ready to fight girls or teenage mothers. It's very offensive. This was seriously a yawner, especially watching stiles trying to do the dances. The guy's acting was boring too. I couldn't believe his acting. yawn yawn yawn.

VHS : Let's Get Harry
I saw this movie in a theater during my early teens. It is one of the most entertaining movies I saw at that time and so I thought that I would see it again. Unfortunately, due to heavy load of school work, I totally forgot about seeing it again. But, after all these years, I still haven't forgotten the title of the movie. Seldom do a movie make an impact that I remember anything about it. I especially remember the soundtrack of Let's Get Harry. Although I can't sing the lyrics, I can hum the melody. How's that? So now I am now hoping for the DVD version to buy.

VHS : How Sweet It Is
I love this movie, as most of Debbie Reynolds high energy comedies, this one is no disappointment. It's the story of middle aged revival..at a time when many women (and men) direly feel and equally dread the loss of their strength, vitality and sexuality, this hysterical farce pulls all those elements together while reinforcing the strength of a quality marital love without sacrificing good parenting in the process.

Debbie Reynolds is feminine dynamite as she wows the French with her sizzling middle age figure and reminds her hubby that good things, do, indeed come in small packages! James Garner perfectly addresses the sterotypical oblivious middle aged husband who cannot see his wife through the trees...that is, until all is unveiled before a more appreciative audience. Charming comedy, great ... Read More

VHS : Those Magnificent Men Their Flying Machines
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines is the British version of The Magnificent Race but it's more like a ripoff. The film uses the real life 1910 event as the basis for the movie but there aren't any similarities beyond that. It's directed & co-written by Ken Annakin, I have yet to find a reason to recommend anything in his name.

The film has a large pool of stars but almost all of them are B-list entities. The story centers on Orvil Newton (Stuart Whitman),an American from the wild West, who enters the contest. Patricia Rawnsley (Sarah Miles) is the female lead & is the daughter of Lord Rawnsley (Robert Morley) who is the publisher of a newspaper & the one who offers 10,000 pounds to the winner of the London to Paris air race. Richard Mays (James Fox), a British competitor, sort ... Read More

VHS : Bataan
When I first saw this movie on TV as an eight year old kid, it did something to me - changed me forever. I saw what men can do when they are determined and resolute, no matter the cost. This film, along with the 300 Spartans, insured I would serve in the military when I grew up. And I did. That's how intense a film it is, and what a film can do to an impressionable child.

Others have written reviews covering all aspects of this movie, but what cinched it for me was the final scene with Sgt. Bill Dane standing in his own freshly dug grave, his rifle stuck inverted in the mound at the head of the grave with his name, rank, and serial number written on a scrap of paper; wounded, dirty, and exhausted behind a water-cooled M1917 30.06 belt-fed machine gun, his Thompson subgun in his hands and his response to ...
