1.Treasure Island (1990) starring: Charlton Heston, Christian Bale, Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Richard Johnson directed by: Fraser Clarke Heston December 18, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.06
This is indeed the very best film version of Robert Louis Stevenson's definitive pirate adventure ever made. Christian Bale plays the young Jim Hawkins and Charlton Heston is Long John Silver, and both are excellent. Add Christopher Lee as Blind Pew and the rest of a terrific cast including Oliver Reed, Clive Wood, and Julian Glover among the many actors that bring the story to life. Filmed on location in Jamaica and on the awesome ship Hispaniola, the scenery and cinematography are marvelous. And the soundtrack is performed by The Cheiftains! It is the best pirate soundtrack ever, adding great drama and realism to the proceedings, since the music seems so timely for the period. Heston's Long John Silver is sensational, and his son Fraser's direction is ... Read More

2.The Pirates of Penzance starring: Kevin Kline, Angela Lansbury, Linda Ronstadt, George Rose, Rex Smith directed by: Wilford Leach March 01, 1992

No problems with delivery, arrived quickly and in good time. Sender was very helpful and willing to assist with or correct any possible problems. I'd buy from them again anytime.

3.New Moon starring: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Mary Boland, George Zucco, H.B. Warner directed by: Robert Z. Leonard, W.S. Van Dyke December 17, 1993

I bought this movie for my grandparents. I have never seen it but having it arrive in the mail to them after they searched and searched for it locally; made my grandpa cry.

4.Don Quixote (2000) starring: John Lithgow, Bob Hoskins, Isabella Rossellini, Vanessa Williams, Lambert Wilson directed by: Peter Yates February 06, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.65
The movie is reasonably made and it somewhat sticks to the original story. However, the casting of Vanessa Williams as Dulcinea is wrong. Dulcinea was a Spaniard from La Mancha in the city of El Toboso. 99.9% of Spaniards are white, mostly with dark hair but light to olive skin and fine facial features. Vanessa Williams is a mulata (a mix of white and african black). The Cervantes story originates in the 15th century (around the time of Christopher Columbus' Discovery). The mulatos did not come into being until the 17th century and much more in the 19th century and later. This was when the Black African slaves mixed with the European (French, British, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese) whites. Therefore, this is like picking Tom Hanks to play Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his biographical movie.Anglos ... Read More

5.American Anthem starring: Mitchell Gaylord, Tiny Wells, Janet Jones, Michael Pataki, Patrice Donnelly directed by: Albert Magnoli April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.88
I was always a gymnastics fan and I absolutely loved watching this movie over and over when I was a child. This movie needs to be available on DVD.

6.The Last of the Mohicans starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Eric Schweig, Jodhi May directed by: Michael Mann January 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I never watched this when it came out in the early 90's, but had heard about it. It was wonderfully done, Daniel Day-Lewis was mesmerizing, and I was struck at how it did not feel the least bit dated. I did not read the book, so can't compare, but for a movie, this had much "edge of your seat" action, romance (not overdone or oversexual), and beauty. And yes, DDL running through the woods makes for some rewinding and replaying!

7.Journey to the Center of the Earth starring: James Mason, Pat Boone, Arlene Dahl, Diane Baker, Thayer David directed by: Henry Levin January 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.98
one of the best movies out there. if you love sci-fi then this one is for you.

8.Literary Masterpieces: The Count of Monte Cristo starring: Richard Chamberlain, Trevor Howard, Louis Jourdan, Donald Pleasence, Tony Curtis directed by: David Greene May 21, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.89
I saw this when it was first shown on US television in about 1975 and was amazed by the storyline and the acting. I had seen Chamberlain in his TV series, but this film allowed him a vast range of emotions and exercises which the Tv show did not. I had not read the novel then, of course. Relatively, this is the video version people should watch. I videotaped it a couple of times (once the result was not so great) and watch it sporadically since. The book I read in 1989 on a commuter train between Sunnyvale and San Carlos - commuter trains are great for reading! The many opinions about the relative merits of the book vis a vis this excellent film are true, BUT, given the time limitations of the film format, details have to be dropped. Oh, yeah, one of the days when I was reading the book three young women ... Read More

9.Ivanhoe (1982) starring: James Mason, Anthony Andrews, Sam Neill, Michael Hordern, Olivia Hussey directed by: Douglas Camfield June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $25.00
I am so SAD about having to say negative things about this film. I'm a devout disciple of Ivanhoe, and a mesmerized fan of Anthony Andrews, so it feels like treachery to say that I've never been so disappointed in a film...What a CAST. But such meaningless drivel for dialog... True, this version DID include Athelstane, but to what purpose? He added nothing, he was totally incidental---well, blast it, WILFRED was incidental...And, bless her heart, that cute little girl didn't look remotely Saxon...And lovely Olivia looks more as if she's distressed and confused by the quality of the production than by deep love for Wilfred or impending immolation...By the time they tie her to the stake, she looks like she just wants out under any circumstance. I BELIEVED Elizabeth Taylor in the old version---I WANTED to believe Olivia ... Read More

10.Beastmaster 2 starring: Marc Singer, James Avery, Michael Berryman, David Carrera, Carl Ciarfalio directed by: Sylvio Tabet January 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.96
I'm a very big movie buff and especially with old sci-fi & fantasy movies. This was an excellent movie in my opinion, it has action, adventure and Marc Singer still does a great job of playing Dar. Of all 3 Beast Master movies, number 1 & 2 are my favorites by far, but all of them are worth watching if you like these types of sword and sorcery movies, I just don't under stand why the companies that own the rights don't release these on DVD it is beyond me. This would make a great 3 pack series to buy; I noticed on Youtube.com that there are Extras like a news clip on the making of the second movie and the original trailer, so have fun watching yours truly Anx. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0utmT_Q0Zwg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV6Jk5OFfDY
