1.Come to the Stable starring: Loretta Young, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, Elsa Lanchester, Thomas Gomez directed by: Henry Koster March 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $25.00
Better yet, how about releasing a Loretta Young box set with this movie, Ramona (Fox's first Technicolor movie), Kentucky, Suez, The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (should have been out on DVD years ago) and Mother is a Freshman to name just a few????? GIVE US A BREAK, FOX!

2.Summer & Smoke starring: Laurence Harvey, Geraldine Page, Rita Moreno, Una Merkel, John McIntire directed by: Peter Glenville January 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
Summer and Smoke has Geraldine Page as a woman in love with a young man next door. She lives in a parsonage with her dictatorial, repressed father, and a mentally ill mother. The film unflods and we see the tragedy approaching, and Ms Page becoming more and more aware of it, culminating in her final scene. The lyricism of her acting, her gestures, her inner pleading, and her silences are wrenching and strangely evocative of how things are for many people..no hope left, but the edge that rejection and despair give to us in odd ways, making it possible to go on, in an aloien world, dersiring death as the next step that must be taken. See this film with her, and witness greatness of the highest order. The rest of cast is excellent, especially Una Merkel as her mother, ... Read More

3.Trapeze starring: Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida, Katy Jurado, Thomas Gomez directed by: Carol Reed September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.74
Love triangle with Burt Lancaster who was injured trying to be one of the first guys to do a triple flip on the trapeze. Tony Curtis, young gun, looks Burt up to train him to do the triple. Burt gets off the ground, and becomes Tony's "catcher'. Enter va-va-VOOM Gina Lollbrigida who is the "icing" in a mediocre tumbling act. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It's completely over the "BIG TOP", and the 3 gorgeous leads in their absolute prime look super in leotards, spangles, gitain fishing shirts and berets. I wish ithis movie would be reissued so it was not so expensive to find one! It's not available on Netflix either.

4.Key Largo starring: Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor directed by: John Huston February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.24
The fourth & final pairing of Bogey & Bacall is a real treat. Also, it's another pairing for Bogey & Eddie G. but this time Bogey got the top billing. This Bogey & Bacall pairing doesn't smolder on screen like the earlier efforts though one would have to be blind not to see anything. The story mostly takes place at the Largo Hotel on Key Largo. The proprietor is James Temple (Lionel Barrymore) who's been confined to a wheelchair for reasons not specified. He's assisted by his daughter-in-law, Nora Temple (Lauren Bacall). The hotel has been taken over by some gangsters though we don't know who they are until later in the film. Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) arrives on the scene via a bus. McCloud is a world war two veteran who's down on his luck. He's there at the ... Read More

5.But Not for Me starring: Clark Gable, Carroll Baker, Lilli Palmer, Lee J. Cobb, Barry Coe directed by: Walter Lang June 11, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.95
The film was actually a remake of an earlier 30s film called, "ACCENT ON YOUTH." Directed by a forgotten master, Wesley Ruggles, ACCENT ON YOUTH is a sparkling comedy that starred Herbert Marshall as the older (50ish) playwright, and Sylvia Sidney as his devoted secretary Linda. Marvelous Astrid Allwyn played Genevieve, the other woman--Allwyn, a familiar screen presence in the 30s with dozens of small parts to her credit, including an important one in CHARLIE CHAN'S SECRET. And amusingly Lon Chaney Jr. figured as one of the "young people" in ACCENT ON YOUTH. He wasn't yet typecast in horror parts. In the 1950s remake, Gable plays the producer and Carroll Baker his young, naive assistant (the names are changed in the remake so she's no longer LINDA. They have a May-December romance ...

6.Phantom Lady starring: Franchot Tone, Ella Raines, Alan Curtis, Aurora Miranda, Thomas Gomez directed by: Robert Siodmak April 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.98
The Jive Club Pianist was not Freddie Slack but Paul James Parks, who shortly thereafter was drafted into WWII and was in an entertainment unit which performed throughout the African Theatre.

7.Kim starring: Errol Flynn, Dean Stockwell, Paul Lukas, Robert Douglas, Thomas Gomez directed by: Victor Saville December 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.35
This film hasn't lost any of it's adventure,style or humor for me since I first watched it 20 years ago. Hollywood managed to capture Kipling's view of a beautiful country & a proud people.Our children have enjoyed it as much as I did when I first saw it.

8.Sorrowful Jones starring: Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, William Demarest, Bruce Cabot, Thomas Gomez directed by: Sidney Lanfield October 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.74
Its the type of movie that you cry and laugh with. Bob Hope being serious, something you don't see very often. Just shows what a great actor he could be. Put him and Lucy together makes for a great movie. I love the Damon Runyon type movies. If you haven't seen The Lemon Drop Kid, its good also. Get the puffs out, you'll need them.

9.Merry Widow (1952) starring: Lana Turner, Fernando Lamas, Una Merkel, Richard Haydn, Thomas Gomez directed by: Curtis Bernhardt February 24, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
Just 'burned' the two versions of the Merry Widow off TCM - the earlier B&W McDonald/Chevalier film is the superior one by far; however, this updated color version w/ attractive co-stars (Turner & Lamas) is much better than I expected; the production is lavish which is typical for 'musicals' of the time - Turner is gorgeous, as usual & Lamas much better than I expected - certainly worth a watch, but try to see the other film as a comparison!

10.Conqueror starring: John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendáriz, Agnes Moorehead, Thomas Gomez directed by: Dick Powell March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.97
A 50's horse western set in outer Mongolia. I cannot decide what is more absurd -- John Wayne plaving Genghis Kahn or having Genghis Khan portrayed by John Wayne ??? Makes my top 10 worst movie list of all time. Right up there with The Ten Commandments.
