1.Searching for Bobby Fischer starring: Joe Mantegna, Ben Kingsley, Max Pomeranc, Joan Allen, Laurence Fishburne directed by: Steven Zaillian October 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.66
This is my all-time favorite movie. There is not one wasted scene or false note. The performances are excellent. I am not alone in my opinion: Ben Kingsley said in an interview I watched, that this was his favorite of all the movies he's done. If you are a chess expert and expect this to be a technically correct in every way depiction of the game, it's not. If you are not interested in chess and think this is about just chess, it's not. It's about relationships: mainly a father, son, and teacher relationship. No profanity, no blood, no sex, some tears and laughs, minor reference to drug use. It does not closely follow the book it's based on (a true story written by the real life boy's father) which is fine. It's not a documentary.

"snalen" said: Jan Schlichtmann (Travolta) is a Boston tort lawyer and something of an ambulance chaser who is initially reluctant to take on an industrial pollution case involving some children dead of leukemia in rural New England. He changes his mind when he realizes the likely defendants are a couple of big companies with particularly deep pockets and smells the possibility of serious money. Over time, however his interest in the case becomes a moral obsession. The cynical becomes a crusader, refusing offers to settle as his company's finances spiral downwards towards bankruptcy. If you like courtroom dramas, this is highly recommended. It's one of the best specimens ... Read More
