1.A New Leaf starring: Rose Arrick, James Coco, David Doyle, Trent Gough, Graham Jarvis January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $34.99
How can it be that Walter Matthau's best performance, especially a comedy performance, is not available on DVD? It's a shame, because this is arguably the most brilliant dark comedy from that wonderful golden age of grown-up films from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. This movie is way too funny and brilliant to be this undercover and cult. Elaine May is to comedy what Coppola and Scorsese were to drama. Her writing is as good as comedy writing gets, and her performance gives a glimpse at how wonderful a comic actress she really is. No B.S. either. This one of the great comedies. Can't believe it's not on dvd. Not to be missed. I remember seeing this on tv when I was a little girl and thinking, that is a wonderful world those two people live in. It played the midnight show in college and the crowd ... Read More

I have my students read the book Cold River in school. I was excited to see a video of this story as it is a favorite. But, this video is terrible. They have changed so much from the book. My advice--read the book and forget the video. Holes is the best movie I have seen that came from a kid's book.

4.The Arrangement starring: Kirk Douglas, Faye Dunaway, Deborah Kerr, Richard Boone, Hume Cronyn directed by: Elia Kazan
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.94
"She's got a built in crap detector," quips an ad man of screwed up sex bomb Faye Dunaway in this whopper from Elia Kazan, the once esteemed director of On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire, foolishly filming his own tres autobiographique novel. No one perusing Dunaway's screen credits would claim Dunaway's got a "crap detector," or what would she be doing here? No one said it of Marlon Brando, either, but he knew enough to bolt this flick just before production began. Kirk Douglas, everybody's favorite Brando substitute, tries to kill himself for selling the public cancer-causing cigarettes, and while he's recuperating, his wife Deborah Kerr puzzles over why he did it. "It's better than if he were off with some tramp," Kerr tells her shrink. "There are nights when I feel ready ... Read More

6.Reflections in a Golden Eye starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Brian Keith, Julie Harris, Zorro David directed by: John Huston
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.50
I first saw this on VHS many years ago and was ready to see it again right away because I thought I'd missed the point. I've seen it many time since. It is dark and yet funny since almost everyone in it has some bizarre behavior at some point. The acting is top notch, though I wasn't crazy about the ending. I would at least see it once if you haven't already. According to Montgomery Clift's biographer, Clift was set to play the role of Major Pemberton but ended up having a heart attack and dying before the filming could begin. Liz Taylor and he were very close friends. Marlon Brando reluctantly but eventually took the role. And does a great job! Still, I would've loved to see Monty play this part.
