Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Angus
I love this movie. I haven't seen it in years and I am dismayed to learn that it isn't available on DVD yet. This is one of the best teen movies I have ever seen. It's sweet, honest, funny and kind.

Please release Angus on DVD soon powers that be. Thanks!

VHS : Maxx: Original Series
3 stars just because it's missing so much content. However, I did manage to get the entire series and burn it to a dvd so, that's at least a plus. But this VHS is missing a lot of content. Hopefully MTV releases an official DVD of The Maxx. Until then I've got a copy : )

Now that is on Broadway, do you think it will be released on DVD? I loved this movie when I was young and love this movie now. It is a good comedy but you must understand the era it was made in. I am awaiting the DVD release.

An old movie but a great movie. Many appearances are not what they seem. I searched for this movie for years & am happy to finally have it in my library. If you like old movies & these actors then you must see this movie.

VHS : Literary Masterpieces: The Count of Monte Cristo
I saw this when it was first shown on US television in about 1975 and was amazed by the storyline and the acting. I had seen Chamberlain in his TV series, but this film allowed him a vast range of emotions and exercises which the Tv show did not. I had not read the novel then, of course.

Relatively, this is the video version people should watch. I videotaped it a couple of times (once the result was not so great) and watch it sporadically since. The book I read in 1989 on a commuter train between Sunnyvale and San Carlos - commuter trains are great for reading! The many opinions about the relative merits of the book vis a vis this excellent film are true, BUT, given the time limitations of the film format, details have to be dropped. Oh, yeah, one of the days when I was reading the book three ... Read More

VHS : Trapeze
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.

VHS : Some Like It Hot (1959)
XXXXX

"Runnin' wild, lost control
Runnin' wild, mighty bold
Feelin' gay, reckless, too
Carefree mind all the time, never blue
Always goin', don't know where
Always showin', I don't care
Don't love nobody
It's not worthwhile
All alone
Runnin' wild."

The above is the lyrics to one of the songs sung by Marilyn Monroe in this classic film (directed by Billy Wilder) with an emphasis on comedy but that also has elements of romance and crime drama.

Briefly, 1929 Chicago musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) accidentally witness a gangland shooting ordered by mob boss "Spats" Colombo (George Raft, who is perfectly cast). They thus quickly board a train to Florida, disguised as "Josephine" and "Geraldine" (later ... Read More

Good family movie with good hard sword fights for the boys, beautful princesses for the girls, solid story for mum and dad and splendid backdrops. Go on, go on, oh go on buy it, it's what you dreamed of being when you played knights and castles as a kid.

Just a great old movie, I wanted to see the performance Bobby Darin got the nomination for best Support, and it sure was a fantastic performance. Tony Curtis was great fun in this movie.

VHS : Operation Petticoat (Ws)
One of the very funny lines comes from an officer watching through binoculars as Nick Holden brings a boat load of nurses back to the sub from a bombed island: "Wow -- now that's what I call scavenging!" The officer is played by Dick Sargent, the second Darin on "Bewitched."

Matt Sherman comments that he's a little concerned about Lt. Holden's influence and recommends a little less "Wow" and a little more "Tsk Tsk."
