1.Little Drummer Girl starring: Diane Keaton, Yorgo Voyagis, Klaus Kinski, Sami Frey, Michael Cristofer directed by: George Roy Hill January 14, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.92
This film is unavailable from Block Buster or NetFlix or the library system. It is too important to be abandoned. I don't know why, if it is considered politically incorrect or too hot to handle, or what. John La Carre wrote without an agenda, showing both sides, warts and all. I plan to loan it to as many people as will watch it. Sandi

2.The Sting starring: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, Ray Walston directed by: George Roy Hill March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.74
Just to offer my two cents, now that both versions are on DVD: Regardless of what aspect ratio it was originally shot in, the full-screen version is indeed pan & scan. I now have both. If you compare the two, you'll see the newer widescreen DVD is not missing any of the picture from the top or bottom. It is the full-screen that is indeed missing the sides. I never saw it in the theater, so I can't say how it was originally projected. Either way, it's one of the best films ever (way better than Citizen Kane), so watch it however you want and enjoy.

3.Funny Farm starring: Chevy Chase, Madolyn Smith Osborne, Kevin O'Morrison, Joseph Maher, Jack Gilpin directed by: George Roy Hill April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.10
When we viewed this movie on TV, it did not contain profanity. We purchased it because it was so funny, and we wanted to share it with our grandchildren. That will not happen. Your review should have stated not appropriate for children because of language.

4.Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid starring: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones directed by: George Roy Hill March 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.01
I was impressed with the remake of this blu-ray movie. I enjoyed, so much, the original, and the remake is vivid and yet not overdone. Great job, and blu-ray is awesome. Delightful movie

5.Great Waldo Pepper starring: Robert Redford, Bo Svenson, Bo Brundin, Susan Sarandon, Geoffrey Lewis directed by: George Roy Hill April 23, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
I refused to buy this on DVD for years. If they reissue it again on full screen I will still refuse to buy it. The day they release it on wide screen then I will get a copy at once. This is one of those films that I must have in my collection, but the WHOLE THING, not just the main part in the middle. I don't have anything to add to the excellent review by Ralph R. Echtinaw: I agree with everything he said. I am putting up this entry simply in protest (also), that The Great Waldo Pepper has never had a descent release to video in any format. Boo, hiss!

6.Slaughterhouse Five starring: Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Valerie Perrine directed by: George Roy Hill July 07, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.72
First off, I've never read the book. That said, I must say that what I find most intriguing about the Billy Pilgrim character (Michael Sacks) in SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE is how much of a true pilgrim he is. He is unhitched from time, while simultaneously, due to his own pleasant personality and ever-calm demeanor, Billy is also a traveler through space. He drifts through life as a disengaged observer, like a cork floating down a stream. Billy is a warm, innocent human being who is utterly removed from his own existence! He watches / feels things unfold like a character in a play. He reminds me of Peter Sellars' Chauncy Gardener in BEING THERE. Adrift in a universe that simply takes him wherever it will. The main segments of Billy's life are presented from his own disengaged viewpoint. We get to go along with him ... Read More

A very boring movie, sorry I bought it! Would not advise anyone to buy it!

9.Hawaii starring: Julie Andrews, Max von Sydow, Richard Harris, Gene Hackman, Carroll O'Connor directed by: George Roy Hill July 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.89
I don't like abridged novels and films that are chopped to pieces are in the same category. This shortened version lacks the depth of the original full version film. The full version film should be considered an all time classic.

10.Slap Shot starring: Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean, Strother Martin, Jennifer Warren, Lindsay Crouse directed by: George Roy Hill September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Slap Shot is bottom-of-the-barrel minor league hockey. It's blue collar, living on the edge of desperation, rust belt culture. It's about a marginal business run for purposes irrelevant to sport. It's people miscast in life from hacks who see themselves as pros, to elitists who deign to play with the low-lifes. It's about people screwing up their relationships, about mis-communication and non-communication. It's about how people hurt each other in order to connect with one another. It's crude and irreverent. It's about the really screwy things people finally rally around. It combines more comedy genres than I can count. Slap Shot is not a typical heartwarming sports flick. It concludes nothing about good and evil. Or overcoming long odds. It's not about a noble coach or noble players. Or ... Read More
