1.Murder by Decree starring: Christopher Plummer, James Mason, David Hemmings, Susan Clark, Anthony Quayle directed by: Bob Clark (III) October 26, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.72
So it isn't the most original idea out there for Sherlock Holmes to attempt to solve the case of the infamous murders committed by Jack The Ripper. At least one other film (A Study In Terror) and several books have (had) been written along those lines so the storyline could have been predictable. Yet Murder By Decree rises above what could have been a tired and predictable story to deliver perhaps the best non-Doyle based Holmes film. It is a must-see for fans of Holmes and does supply an interesting solution (pardon the pun) to the mystery of the Ripper. Christopher Plummer gives an exceptional performance as the great detective. Whereas others had played Holmes as the intellectual with little emotion, Plummer takes Holmes and makes him more human. While he is still the intelligent ... Read More

2.Tribute starring: Jack Lemmon, Robby Benson, Lee Remick, Colleen Dewhurst, John Marley directed by: Bob Clark (III) September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.98
This is such a perfect portrait of people I have known who have built emotional moats around their castle of humanity.... Lemmon's character is commited to having no commitment...So busy loving the world he is unable to totally love those who to whom he is closest. Watch this film with friends and I guarentee you will have one of the greatest discussions you have ever had about all of the implications...A totally human film Great Song by Barry Manlow heard over the credits sums up the whole idea of the film...

3.My Summer Story starring: Charles Grodin, Kieran Culkin, Mary Steenburgen, Christian Culkin, Al Mancini directed by: Bob Clark (III) April 29, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
Ralph Parker is the 10-year-old Indiana boy you may remember from a little film called "A Christmas Story". Well, from his following summer comes "My Summer Story", the tale of Ralph's search for the ultimate killer top to defeat the new head bully, Lug Ditka, the Old Man's war with their hillbilly neighbors, the Bumpuses, Mom's gravy boat incident at the Orpheum Theater, a trip to the World Exposition, and that all-important first summer of fishing with the Old Man and his buddies. Before I get into assessing "My Summer Story", class, does everyone here realize that Ralph Parker and his family "existed" well before the American holiday favorite, "A Christmas Story"? To date, there have, in fact, been 6 films about Ralphie, Randy, Mom, the Old Man, Flick Schwartz, and company. Three of them ... Read More

4.Rhinestone starring: Sylvester Stallone, Dolly Parton, Richard Farnsworth, Ron Leibman, Tim Thomerson directed by: Bob Clark (III) March 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.23
I saw this movie about 8 or 10 years ago and I thought it was absolutely hilarious! I found it on DVD and for a great price! The only reason I can think that it bombed in the box office is because no one wanted to see Sly in a comedy; it was all about 'Rocky' and 'Rambo'. And what the heck is he doing making a film with Dolly Parton, right? Well, I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor. Yes, it's an 80's flick, but still, it is full of hilarity!

5.Loose Cannons starring: Dan Aykroyd, Gene Hackman, Dom DeLuise, Ronny Cox, Nancy Travis directed by: Bob Clark (III) June 28, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a truly funny movie. I mean, Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd were absolutely great in this film. They make a great team in this movie. Basically one plays a cop, who doesn't have a home. The other plays a cops who's brilliant at his job, but suffers from split personality disorder. They are both teamed together to solve a murder which revolves around a mysterous film connected to Hilter's death. The critic's blew it again, with this film. Dan Aykroyd was actually quite good in this film. He played his character very well. So, did Gene Hackman. This is a very enjoyable film.

6.I'll Remember April starring: Pat Morita, Trevor Morgan, Pam Dawber, Haley Joel Osment, Mark Harmon directed by: Bob Clark (III) January 16, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
This is a precious story of boys in California during WWII who catch a "prisioner of war". I believe it is based on facts. Enjoyable for the whole family.

7.From the Hip starring: Judd Nelson, Elizabeth Perkins, John Hurt, Darren McGavin, Dan Monahan directed by: Bob Clark (III) October 09, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.45
This is a fun movie, and they're so hard to find in video stores now!

8.Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (Spec Dol) starring: Jon Voight, Scott Baio, Vanessa Angel, Skyler Shaye, Justin Chatwin directed by: Bob Clark (III) January 04, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
The one star reviewers are 100% correct. This "movie" is horrendous! The first movie stunk like government cheese so it should be of no surprise that this sequel stinks. The so-called plot revolves around some evil media mogul named Biscane(played by Jon Voight)with some wacky scheme revolving around mind control on kids through the TV screen. The baby "geniuses headed by Kahuna plan to take on Biscane and cheesy hijinks ensue. The plot is horrible and the acting is just as bad. Scott Baio should have bowed out gracefully since Charles In Charge went of the air but no he chose to be here. Jon Voight usually shines even when he is in a bad movie(for instance Anaconda) but here he is reduced to a total ham who acts like he is on freebase. The jokes are why-did-the-chicken-cross-the-road corny but it seems that the director ... Read More

9.Porky's starring: Dan Monahan, Mark Herrier, Wyatt Knight, Roger Wilson, Cyril O'Reilly directed by: Bob Clark (III) April 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I first saw this movie when it came out and it is still funny. Some of the moments are classic; i.e. paging Mike Hunt, Kim Catrall, shower scene, etc... Much better than the two sequels.

10.Children Shouldn't Play With Dead starring: Alan Ormsby, Valerie Mamches, Jeff Gillen, Anya Ormsby, Paul Cronin directed by: Bob Clark (III) July 03, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.65
A VERY dated movie that SCREAMS 70's DISCO fashion!!! The acting is pretty bad,the pace is slow, but the story is decent overall. It would be 1000 times better if it were remade with some decent actors, better special effects, and a little more action. Overall, it is entertaining, but if you can rent it on netflix instead of buying..... DO SO!
