1.Downhill Racer starring: Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Camilla Sparv, Joe Jay Jalbert, Tom J. Kirk directed by: Michael Ritchie March 22, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.58
Besides having some really good skiing scenes, there's a beautiful young Robert Redford. That's always worth a second, third and fourth look for we ladies.

2.Island, The (1980) starring: Michael Caine, David Warner, Angela Punch McGregor, Frank Middlemass, Don Henderson directed by: Michael Ritchie March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.98
With all the cheesey B Horror Movies out there, I'm surprised this has never been released on DVD. I bet Attack of the Mushroom People is probably on DVD! Would some studio please release this to the people who remember this at the theater or saw it on VHS. This was a Peter Benchley novel adapted to the screen after his huge hits JAWS and The Deep played out well at the box office. I saw this at a big screen theater, when it was released, before the days of the cineplex. What stands out are the character roles of the pirates led by David Warner. You don't forget these fellows, an unbelievable collection of lost souls. This was done decades before the Disney franchise starring Johnny Depp was ever conceived. Modern day pirates wrapped around ... Read More

3.The Bad News Bears starring: Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal, Chris Barnes, Ben Piazza, Vic Morrow directed by: Michael Ritchie January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.63
Im not going to tell you all about this film, or tell you who is in it, or what they did, etc. Everyone knows Walter Matthau plays an ex-ball player who drinks, smokes and swears to much thru the movie, and also that Tatum O'Neil plays his ex-girlfriend's daughter who he gets to pitch and all the other stuff, like Tanner swearing and saying the "N" word, and such. All this has been said and reviewed in earlier post. I saw this movie when it first came out in 1976. I was 9 turning 10 years old that year. I cant believe its been 32 years now. WOW! Im gettin old. I believe that this movie is a time capsule. Its an era and time, long gone by. Sure, there is little league baseball today, but its not the same as it was back then. People who were kids back then (like me) can tell you that the whole scene was different ... Read More

4.The Candidate starring: Robert Redford, Peter Boyle, Melvyn Douglas, Don Porter, Allen Garfield directed by: Michael Ritchie June 18, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.50
During the season leading up to the 2008 Presidential Elections, this film raises some interesting questions about the role of the media in shaping who we believe politicians are. After this, and similar films, one has to wonder about the reality of the men being considered for the country's highest office.

5.Fletch Lives starring: Chevy Chase, Hal Holbrook, Julianne Phillips, R. Lee Ermey, Richard Libertini directed by: Michael Ritchie May 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.35
Luckily they avoid completely revisiting old ground by setting this one in the South. It contains quite a few gags but the laughs are fewer and far between. It has a more serious look at some time honoured cliches about the South (evangelism, racism, quaintness) which may be less fair as time goes on, but as they say cliches exist for a reason. Chevy Chase's swansong and the last passable effort of his career - unless you want to count Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Buy the double CD with Fletch or else skip this one. Having said this, I have fond memories of this film. But don't expect high art. The comedy is passable and dry.

6.Omnibus: Television's Golden Age (1999) directed by: Michael Ritchie January 30, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $31.30
In this era of junk reality tv, it's almost painful to watch Omnibus, because it was just so good. Everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Gene Kelly to JFK made appearances on this pioneering show. Best of all, they didn't talk down to us! I only wish they would release individual shows, because this montage only whets my appetite for more!

7.Couch Trip starring: Dan Aykroyd, Walter Matthau, Charles Grodin, Donna Dixon, Richard Romanus directed by: Michael Ritchie July 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a funny movie that had me chuckling along with it most of the way. Walter Matheau seemed a little superfluous until the end of the movie however (hard to believe as a crazy man). Grodin was dry, wry and hilarious - until he went over the top in the end. And Dan Akroyd did a great job. One of his best I'd have to say. A fun little movie that entertains.

8.Student Bodies (1981) starring: Kristen Riter, Matthew Goldsby, Richard Belzer, Joe Flood, Joe Talarowski directed by: Michael Ritchie, Mickey Rose November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.79
This has been released on DVD. Don't pay some crazy amount to some jacknut claiming it's out of print. It JUST came out on DVD, and it is available for $14.95 on Legend Films website, as well as at select Target stores. This is a great movie, by the way. It was Scary Movie before Scary Movie, making fun of the slasher films of the 70s and early 80s.

9.Fletch starring: Chevy Chase, Joe Don Baker, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Richard Libertini, Tim Matheson directed by: Michael Ritchie March 12, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a must have for a Chevy fan. His intelligent style of comedy mixed in with his costumes is great.

10.Diggstown starring: James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr., Bruce Dern, Oliver Platt, Heather Graham directed by: Michael Ritchie December 23, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This was a gift for my husband. He had looked at all the stores and couldn't find it. Amazon always has what I'm looking for in DVDS. My husband has enjoyed this movie very much. For all you James Woods fans I would recommend this DVD highly!!!
