First of all, I love Tiny Toons HISMV. My mom loves it and it is possibly one of the funniest summer comedies since One Crazy Summer and many others. The show just got released on DVD and I hope to expect a DVD release of this movie which needs to come out into the spotlight finally. My god, this flick was only available on VHS for so long and now there's not too many people out there who own VCRs anymore. They've all moved on to DVDs and Blu-Ray. Sadly HISMV is not part of that all. It will be soon though hopefully. I hope to get this movie just so me and my parents can enjoy nostalgic laughs and God knows how many people want to go to Happy World Land! I sure as hell wanted to: BUT NOT ON THAT DAMN MONORAIL! The cart chase in the end is still great. If this film does not come out..... uh-oh, ... Read More

3.Stepping Out starring: Liza Minelli, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, Ellen Greene, Sheila McCarthy directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II) January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.98
Liza Minelli is such a brilliantly expressive actor and dancer, that she can overcome any tired cliche that's thrown at her (starting with the title of this film), and this one has cliches that weren't even cliches in 1991. She's so great in every scene that the viewer forgets that the talents of Andrea Martin, for example, are wasted. Wasted. Shelley Winters gets a slightly better chance to show her skills, as the wizened, retired theatre exponent who nonetheless plays piano part-time for the troupe, almost defiantly lousy. (But at the big show, there she is in the orchestra pit!). Yes, men are beasts throughout this early-era militant feminist flick. The only non-beast is the solitary xy-entity in the class, a sissified straight guy, badly acted and terrifically danced by Bill Irwin. Read More

4.The Year Without a Santa Claus starring: Shirley Booth, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, George S. Irving, Bob McFadden directed by: Arthur Rankin Jr., Jules Bass September 28, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
TYWSC is an animation masterpiece by the remarkable Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Rankin/Bass had a prolific stretch of productions using stop-motion puppet animation ("Animagic"), beginning with the ever-popular Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1962. Many of these Rankin/Bass "Animagic" productions are interesting on several levels, since they often pulled the holiday away from religious moorings (with a couple of exceptions) and contributed to the huge holiday commercial machine (music, decorations, TV, now video and DVD) but at the same time celebrated the secular-humanist qualities of Christmas, such as cheer and pleausure of giving or sharing for their own sake. TYWSC, like some of these others, is in fact a pagan, feminist and still moralizing ... Read More

5.Purple People Eater starring: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ned Beatty, Thora Birch, John Brumfield, Chubby Checker April 05, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.89
This is a delightful movie for all ages. I just purchased this for my husband and the transaction went very smoothly and the video was in great shape

6.West Side Story starring: Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno directed by: Jerome Robbins, Robert Wise January 06, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.02
Based on Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and set in modern New York with rival gangs. This is a great musical! Bernstein's score is a masterpiece of vocal and instrumental arrangements! The sets are a masterpiece of colour and design! The dancing is glorious! The singing is passionate! And it has a raw yet romantic feel. The director has captured a unique and surreal world and has created what I consider the most extraordinary dramatic musical ever made!

7.Pete's Dragon starring: Sean Marshall, Helen Reddy, Jim Dale, Mickey Rooney, Red Buttons directed by: Don Chaffey October 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.85
This was the first film I saw in the theater, and it totally freaked me out. I was 5 and oh man did this movie scare and depressed me. Never saw it again the rest of my life and will NEVER let my children see it. Thank goodness my next movie was Star Wars. Whew.

8.Rebecca starring: Judith Anderson, Florence Bates, Nigel Bruce, Leonard Carey, Leo G. Carroll directed by: Alfred Hitchcock September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.89
Rebecca (1940) is the only film directed by Alfred Hitchcock that won an Oscar as best picture and it is also his first american film. It certainly has many of Hitch's trademarks (the opening sequence for example)but imho it is an overrated film, the performances are dull with the exceptcion of Judith Anderson`s role and the script is weak. Suspicion , Notorius , Strangers on a Train are by far better films in which the Master of Suspense displays all his genius. Sincerely I expected a more interesting film.

9.Follow the Sun: The Ben Hogan Story starring: Glenn Ford, Anne Baxter, Dennis O'Keefe, June Havoc, Larry Keating directed by: Sidney Lanfield June 06, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.59
Being a golfer and a fan of the sport for many years, I was very interested in seeing this, which I did when the VHS first came out. Later, I saw it again because of the same reason plus I usually find Glenn Ford's films entertaining. Well, the story moves well, it didn't bore me, but I did have problems with the accuracy of it and the general theme of the film, telling us that Hogan really was a nice guy who cared lot about what the public thought. From every account I have read, and from a couple of people who met him or knew him, that was not true. The fact is that he was a mean SOB and remained that way most of his life. This movie looks like it was made by his press agent. It's ridiculous and ruins what otherwise is an inspiring story. No one can deny Hogan's achievements on the links and ... Read More
