1.Buddy Buddy starring: Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Paula Prentiss, Klaus Kinski, Dana Elcar directed by: Billy Wilder June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.29
This is a Lemmon-Matthau classic. This rates equal if not better the the grumpy old men flicks. Jack Lemmon is one of the best actors of all time and Matthau is superb as well. I can't understand how this is not available on DVD.

2.Love in the Afternoon starring: Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, John McGiver, Van Doude directed by: Billy Wilder August 20, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.48
The wisdom of Amazon kept recommending this to me. Why - because I bought Two For The Road several years ago?? That purchase was based on love of that film and its timeless reflection on love/marriage. Love in the Afternoon cannot be compared in any way save for the presence of the lovely Audrey Hepburn. She shines in both films but the latter doesn't come close to being saved by her inclusion. Gary Cooper - are we kidding? Who in the name of William Shatner (an Olivier by comparison) ever considered him an ACTOR?? His wooden, plodding recitation of lines was a hideous waste of time, energy and celluloid. I can understand a town full of people planning his demise at high noon.

3.Sunset Boulevard starring: William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olson, Fred Clark directed by: Billy Wilder January 13, 1998

I am writing to plead for someone who has purschased this item to please be specific about WHAT IS NEW ABOUT THIS EDITION. I gather it has been remastered--but the product info states that there are 2 discs, so are there any extras? Any commentary tracks? Those of us who love the film await word the way a reclusive film star awaits a simian undertaker!! Many thanks for any descriptive info that can be provided.

4.Witness for the Prosecution starring: Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, John Williams directed by: Billy Wilder June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.75
If you haven't seen it, and haven't read Witness in Death, here's what it's about: Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is accused of killing a wealthy widow, and he applies to Sir Wilfrid (Charles Laughton), the best barrister in England, to defend him. But Sir Wilfrid's health is failing, and he initially refuses, until actually meeting Leonard convinces him to take the case. Leonard's wife Christine (Marlene Dietrich) is his alibi, but she's not very believable when she talks to Sir Wilfrid, and indeed she ends up as a witness for the prosecution. Even though I knew the plot, including the twists and turns, from reading Witness in Death, the movie itself was more than just the sum of its parts. The drama of whodunit and how and why was interspersed with humor, much of it coming from ... Read More

5.Some Like It Hot (1959) starring: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Pat O'Brien directed by: Billy Wilder September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.45
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" ... Read More

6.Spirit of St Louis starring: James Stewart, Murray Hamilton, Patricia Smith, Bartlett Robinson, Marc Connelly directed by: Billy Wilder October 26, 1999

My husband totally enjoyed this movie so I purchased it for him for Christmas. He is very particular regarding aviation movies but I know he will very pleased to get this for his collection.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO EDIT THIS ONE IN DVD FORMAT?

8.Sabrina (Commemorative Edition) starring: Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, William Holden, Walter Hampden, John Williams directed by: Billy Wilder April 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
Let me start out by saying that if you've seen the remake with Harrison Ford, I am so sorry, but this film will erase that from your memory. You've got Audrey Hepburn, one of the greatest actresses of all time and my personal favorite, as the beautiful title character and Humphrey Bogart, perhaps the greatest actor there ever was and also my favorite actor, and William Holden, another big shot, fighting over her heart as hillarity ensues, in what has to be one of the essential classic Romantic Comedies.

9.Double Indemnity (Gene Shalit's Critic's Choice Edition) directed by: Billy Wilder 1987

10.Lost Weekend starring: Ray Milland, Jane Wyman, Phillip Terry, Howard Da Silva, Doris Dowling directed by: Billy Wilder March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
The is an amazing movie in that it takes a subject that is problematic for our nation, and somehow synthesizes its complexities it into a powerful, moving film that shows how the belief of one person can be the catalyst of hope for one whose life is drowning in substance abuse.
