1.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: $5.79
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

3.You Only Live Twice starring: Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tetsuro Tamba, Teru Shimada directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II)
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.34
Since 007 is back in action, under a powerful Daniel Craig, its nice to look to Ian Fleming books. In this adventure Bond is more vulnerable than ever, since his wife, Tracy, were killed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Fleming give us once again a wonderful construction for 007 personality. Exploring the dark side of his creation, and a interesting oriental background.

5.Alfie starring: Michael Caine, Shelley Winters, Millicent Martin, Julia Foster, Jane Asher directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II)
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.99
How people like this movie is beyond me. Alfie is a complete jerk (and that's being nice). I watched this movie with my mouth hitting the floor a couple of times. Alfie was a complete dog and was just down right mean to women...and they put up with it. Was this truly a reflection of the times? Lord, I hope not. I understand this movie was up or won a quite a few awards and all I can say was that it must not have been too much competition that year. Skip this movie if you can.

6.Educating Rita starring: Michael Caine, Julie Walters, Michael Williams, Maureen Lipman, Jeananne Crowley directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II)
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.09
Educating Rita is a funny and enjoyable movie that is difficult to classify. On the one hand, this is definitely light-hearted fare that tries not to take anything too seriously. Yet on the other hand, this is really good! I am not sure if one could call this a masterpiece per se. But if it isn't a masterpiece it's pretty darned close to one. This is the most fun movie I've seen in a long time. The Cast The cast members of this movie deserve special mention because they really are the difference maker. Michael Caine is very good as the professor, which is not surprising considering his track record. But Julie Walters as Rita steals every scene. Her boisterous personality is endearing and amusing. It is a perfect complement to his mostly conventional performance. It's ... Read More

10.Reach for the Sky starring: Kenneth More, Muriel Pavlow, Lyndon Brook, Lee Patterson, Alexander Knox directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II)
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $40.83
The most astonishing thing about Reach For The Sky is that it is a true story .Based on a book of the same name by Douglas Bader it relates Bader's life story with particular reference to his exploits in World War two.An aviator,Bader lost both legs in an accident prior to the outbreak of war ;he mastered the use of his artificial legs and on the outbreak of war re-enlisted in the RAF.He was forced to bail out during the Battle of Britain and was captured by Germans .Safter 3 failed attempts to escape the Gerrmans took away his artificial legs and placed him in a supposedly escape proof camp -except it was nothing of the sort. The movie is tribute to the unbreakable spirit of an indomitable man .The mark of the British war movie as compared to the Hollywood product covering the same territory is that the British documentary ...
