1.Stuart Saves His Family starring: Al Franken, Laura San Giacomo, Vincent D'Onofrio, Shirley Knight, Harris Yulin directed by: Harold Ramis June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.99
There are about ten laughs in this film by smarmfart Al Franken. Worth seeing once. But Franken's brilliant creation is Stuart himself. Full disclosure: I loath Franken's politics and most of his other humour, but this work is a brilliant exception. Stuart Saves his family is an overlong extension of a SNL skit about "Stuart" the over twelve-stepped psychological casualty of our continuously self-indulgent selves. Rather than overcome his traumas, Stuart nurses them like a bacteriological growth in an inner Petri dish. He stumbles through a series of activities where his therapiezed world view provides conflict with others functioning normally (operating thetans), and abnormally (everyone in his family). I never really got the works of LRH, but his paranoia ... Read More

2.Household Saints starring: Tracey Ullman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lili Taylor, Judith Malina, Michael Rispoli directed by: Nancy Savoca April 18, 2000

This was a great, fun movie! Very Catholic, very ethnic, very 50's! Vincent D'onofro is terrific and Tracey Ullman is wonderful,too. Well worth a look!

3.Men in Black starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rip Torn directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld May 21, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Men In Black is one of my favorite movies. I have both the Blu Ray and regular DVD versions. I use an LG Blu Ray player that "up converts" regular DVD's and frankly speaking, there is not that much of a difference in video (Samsung HDTV)and sound (Bose 321). The Blu Ray version has a slight "edge".

4.Full Metal Jacket starring: Adam Baldwin, Bruce Boa, Tim Colceri, Vincent D'Onofrio, Peter Edmund June 12, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This film is very close to the nerve centers of practically all Marines because it so very realistically depicts their experiences in either boot camp and/or Vietnam. There isn't one that didn't feel a mysterious tingle in the back of his neck and a shiver down his spine when he first heard Lee Ermy calling cadence in the boot camp segment of the movie. Nuf said about the film except to say that the video and audio transfer to blu-ray is outstanding. The anamorphic treatment that allows it to fit 16X9 TVs is excellent. Makes it seem even more realistic. Buy It.

6.Adventures in Babysitting starring: Elisabeth Shue, Maia Brewton, Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp, Calvin Levels directed by: Chris Columbus July 14, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is my all-time favorite 80's comedy. Watching it today, it is no less enjoyable than it was upon initial release. If a film stands the test of time, that is when you know it has become a classic in its own right. The performances by everyone are all around charming and delightful. The writing is clever, witty and fun. Adventures in Babysitting will engross you from the very opening when Elisabeth Shue dances her way thru "Then He Kissed Me," by the Crystals until the closing credits roll by the same number. This is definitely the kind of film to watch if you are feeling down and out. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and more! Enjoy it again and again! Also recommended for fans of this film: Teen Witch.

7.Signs of Life starring: Beau Bridges, Vincent D'Onofrio, Arthur Kennedy, Kevin J. O'Connor, Will Patton directed by: John David Coles January 18, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.95
This film from 1989 explores values within a community of people who have worked together in a boat factory. The problem confronted in the plot is not the fact that the factory must close for lack of customers but rather how each of the co-workers must deal with that closing in the context of their personal relationships outside the shop. The acting/directing is flawless. Part of the plot hangs on a mystical solution, but it is handled well enough to make it believable. The values of the story like values in any human relationship are both bad and good, but the message is positive and possibly more important in terms of the art of film, the whole package is a wonderful entertainment. I recommend you see it for yourself.

8.Ed Wood starring: Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones directed by: Tim Burton August 13, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.08
Ed Wood is based on the life and work of Edward D. Wood Jr, who has been perhaps both saddled and blessed with the title of Worst Director of All Time. Filmed entirely in black and white it both mirrors Wood's own work and draws humor from it. The result is one of my favorite films of all time. The first time I watched it I spent most of the movie laughing at everything from the bad props, to the poor scripts, to Depp's even-more-optomistic-then-Spongebob portrayal of Wood, but with subsequent viewings I have come to see the sadder side of the story; Wood's failure to find success and stardom, Legosi's fall from grace and struggles with drug addiction, and the rag tag band of partners that would all share their exploits. It tells the tale of all those left in Hollywood's dustbin. Burton splits ... Read More

9.Velocity of Gary starring: Vincent D'Onofrio, Salma Hayek, Thomas Jane, Danny Arroyo, Jason Cutler directed by: Dan Ireland April 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.10
YOU MUST LOVE VINCENT... TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT IS NOT FOR THE HOMOPHOBE. THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS IS MOVING AND BELIEVABLE. I WAS ANGRY I LAUGHED I CRIED AND WILL WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN AND AGAIN. ITS A RARE FIND TRULY A HIDDEN TREASURE FOR ANY VINCENT FAN.

10.Winner starring: Luis Contreras, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rebecca De Mornay, Richard Edson, Saverio Guerra October 21, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.94
This movie is entertaining in the simplest of senses, and I enjoyed it the first time I watched it at that level all the way till the end, alluded at in another one of the reviews, this hinted at something more than the surface plot. I'm not a conspiracy theorist and in most cases, I watch movies to be entertained and love explosions and machine guns and car chases, but this movie has more than that. At each turn and twist is the underlying plot of the battle for a man's soul and forces struggling for that all too precious commodity. If you've seen it, watch it again, if not, pick it up. It's a winner.
