1.Sound of Music starring: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Eleanor Parker, Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood directed by: Robert Wise August 27, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a wonderful two-disc edition. I only owned this movie on two videos so you can just imagine the excitement I had getting all the extras that went with this! It is so worth owning and the price is wonderful for such a treasure. It gives great background and is most enjoyable to see all the kids in the movie as grown ups and to also hear Julie Andrews speaking with Christopher Plummer. A true winner!

3.West Side Story starring: Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno directed by: Jerome Robbins, Robert Wise January 06, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.06
Based on Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and set in modern New York with rival gangs. This is a great musical! Bernstein's score is a masterpiece of vocal and instrumental arrangements! The sets are a masterpiece of colour and design! The dancing is glorious! The singing is passionate! And it has a raw yet romantic feel. The director has captured a unique and surreal world and has created what I consider the most extraordinary dramatic musical ever made!

4.The Day the Earth Stood Still starring: Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, Sam Jaffe, Billy Gray directed by: Robert Wise June 30, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.97
Not a sci-fi movie for todays generation which is a shame. Gore, violence and explosions traded in for acting, atmosphere and great story telling. One of my favorite movies. And as for the "editorial review", Gort didn't destroy Washington. Get it right and get this movie.

6.Andromeda Strain starring: James Olson, Arthur Hill, David Wayne, Kate Reid, Paula Kelly directed by: Robert Wise August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
THIS IS A GREAT ADAPTATION OF THE MICHAEL CRIGHTON CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL...THE MOVIE IS CERTAINLY DATED BECAUSE OF THE OLD TIMEY SPECIAL EFFECTS, BUT IT FAITHFULLY FOLLOWS THE BOOK...I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE MINI-SERIES AND WANTED TO VIEW BOTH TO COMPARE HOW THEY HAVE HELD UP TO CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY...SO...IF YOU'RE A FAN OF SCIENCE-FICTION GET BOTH AND COMPARE/CONTRAST THE OLD WITH THE NEW...I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE WHO BUYS THIS MOVIE READ THE BOOK AND SEE FOR YOURSELF

7.Somebody Up There Likes Me starring: Paul Newman, Pier Angeli, Everett Sloane, Eileen Heckart, Sal Mineo directed by: Robert Wise September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.40
Director Robert Wise helmed the great boxing movie The Set-Up , a work scathing in its depiction of the seamy side of the sport .Somebody Up There Like Me takes an altogether more positive view of the noble art and is a thorougly entertaining biopic about Rocky Graziano .Graziano is splendidly played by Paul Newman making his second picture ,after the debacle that was The Silver Chalice,a movie that could have strangled his screen career at birth ,so bad was it . Rocky was born in the slums of New York ,the son of a boxer whose own career stalled through several losing bouts with the bottle .In and out of trouble with the law as a youth and into young manhood ,encompassing a strech in reform school ,a dishonourable discharge from the Army and a spell in Leavenworth .Rocky eventually finds ...

8.Until They Sail starring: Jean Simmons, Paul Newman, Joan Fontaine, Piper Laurie, Charles Drake directed by: Robert Wise September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $28.46
Though filmed during a time when the moral codes prevented even the slightest hint of inpropriety, Until They Sail dealt with quite a scandalous subject: emotional and sexual relationships which sprung willy-nilly during the stressful times of war. The movie captures all aspects of wartime lonliness: youngest sister Evelyn's harmless puppy crushes, middle sister Dee's passionate sexual flings, big sister Anne's unexpected heartfelt first love, and Barbara's recovery as a young widow in the arms of ever-gorgeous Paul Newman. But what makes this movie so worth watching isn't just the diversity of the stories but the ability to capture the raw emotions and truth felt by the characters. In one poignant scene by a lake, Newman's character forwarns Simmons that he has no aspirations of love or marriage before ... Read More

10.Wisdom starring: Veronica Cartwright, Gus Corrado, Hal Fishman, Bill Henderson, Golden Henning directed by: Robert Wise January 14, 1994

In general, I don't like Emilio Estevez's brat pack films, but this isn't about brat pack. Along with Maximum Overdrive, he plays the hero/antihero role well. Most Americans could identify with the economic problems facing the farmers who John Wisdom was trying to help. Wisdoms methods were at first shocking, however, in this day and age, shock is the only way of gettng past the largely ignorant, jaded media, more interested in Britney Spears lack of hair than the fact that we are importing 800 billion dollars more than we export to other contries. This film needs to be rereleased on DVD.
