1.Come to the Stable starring: Loretta Young, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, Elsa Lanchester, Thomas Gomez directed by: Henry Koster March 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.99
Better yet, how about releasing a Loretta Young box set with this movie, Ramona (Fox's first Technicolor movie), Kentucky, Suez, The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (should have been out on DVD years ago) and Mother is a Freshman to name just a few????? GIVE US A BREAK, FOX!

2.Stars & Stripes Forever starring: Clifton Webb, Robert Wagner, Debra Paget, Ruth Hussey, Finlay Currie directed by: Henry Koster April 21, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.94
This is a nice family movie that is worthwhile watching more than once not only by its great music but by Clifton Webb's acting. I hope to be able sometime within the near future to obtain a copy in DVD format.

3.Harvey starring: James Stewart, Josephine Hull, Peggy Dow, Charles Drake, Cecil Kellaway directed by: Henry Koster March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.20
One comment, I'm not sure Harvey was imaginary, I know several people who swear they've seen him. Evidently he is a friend to rumpots. Stewart himself said people, usually men, looking a little down on their luck, asked him about Harvey for years!

4.No Highway In The Sky starring: James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns, Jack Hawkins, Janette Scott directed by: Henry Koster August 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
This is a personal favorite. The author of the book, Nevil Shute, was an aircraft engineer and worked on the Airship R100. He also worked with the famous inventor Barnes Wallis. These facts give the film some credibility in regards to metallergy. Reading the book might give insight into the accuracy the film-maker put into the scientific statements Stewart's character spoke. Regardless of the details it is still a good picture.

5.Singing Nun starring: Debbie Reynolds, Ricardo Montalban, Greer Garson, Agnes Moorehead, Chad Everett directed by: Henry Koster December 23, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.45
A must-see for those who did not grow up during the Debbie Reynolds' era. The music is melodious and the movie has a message. Great story, has everything, drama, comedy, unrequieted love, choices. Bittersweet ending for the viewer, joyful ending for the nun who asked the Lord for guidance, then let Him lead the way!

6.Flower Drum Song starring: Nancy Kwan, James Shigeta, Benson Fong, Jack Soo, Juanita Hall directed by: Henry Koster March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.23
I'm not Chinese, and even I was insulted. I can't believe that at one point in our country's history this was considered art.

7.Man Called Peter starring: Richard Todd, Jean Peters, Marjorie Rambeau, Jill Esmond, Les Tremayne directed by: Henry Koster March 15, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.82
This is one of those movies that will warm your heart and truly make you feel good. Ernest Hemingway once said that all true stories end in death, and this is a true story. But that aside, and even though the title character, Peter Marshall, meets his death, it is not at all sad, it is the story of how a man lived and the wonder he brought into his life and the joy of all those he touched. The performances of Richard Todd and Jean Peters are riveting and powerful. I don't believe that any other actor could have portrayed this character any better. This film shows an era in Hollywood that was remarkable, and the actors relied on talent, not effects. This movie is a must see for all ages, definitely a family picture. It is an inspiration.

8.The Bishop's Wife starring: Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven, Monty Woolley, James Gleason directed by: Henry Koster October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.19
An angel comes to visit a bishop for Christmas, to guide him away from material things and toward a higher purpose. With Cary Grant as the angel, this should be a better movie. But poor direction from Henry Koster and a disappointing performance from Grant leave it lacking. There's so much room for magic in this movie, but instead we get a heavy dose of cheap special effects. Still, David Niven and Loretta Young bring the story back to its true message and that always leaves my eyes a little watery. Monty Woolley turns in a respectable performance, too. None of that explains why I find this movie so compelling. Maybe it's just that I'm a sap for the season. Maybe it's the small but lovely contributions of Elsa Lanchester and Sara Haden as the bishop's housekeeper and ... Read More

9.My Man Godfrey starring: June Allyson, David Niven, Jessie Royce Landis, Robert Keith, Eva Gabor directed by: Henry Koster January 12, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.01
I just don't know what to say about this version of the 1936 classic. Niven is suitably cast, but for the life of me figure out why Allyson was chosen here. I'm being very generous with three stars here, only because this 1957 remake tries hard to come up to Gregory La Cava's 1936 original. Where this version falls completely flat it's in the ensemble work, which is so important to these screwy comedies. In spite of workable efforts by a few, especially Niven, there's no comparing this with the original. Grab La Cava's original on Criterion, instead. Unlike this production, it will not disappoint.

10.Dear Brigitte (1965) starring: James Stewart, Fabian, Glynis Johns, Cindy Carol, Bill Mumy directed by: Henry Koster September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.23
Dear Brigitte is one of the funniest comedies from the 1960s, about a tone-deaf, color-blind boy genius with one interest: Brigitte Bardot. James Stewart plays professor Robert Leaf, a typical college professor (when speaking of college professors typical means liberal, but this was 40 years ago and labels change). Leaf teaches poetry, lives in a houseboat in San Francisco, vocally opposes nuclear power and progress in general. He has an original way to make the family stick together - family concerts. His daughter calls him square. Leaf's 8-year old son Erasmus is played by Billy Mumy (Sammy the Way Out Seal, Lost In Space, Bless The Beasts & Children, Three Wishes). Leaf hopes to find artistic genius of some sort in his only son, and nurtures him in music, painting, literature, etc. But Leaf ... Read More
