1.Shadowlands (1993) starring: Anthony Hopkins, Debra Winger, Julian Fellowes, Roddy Maude-Roxby, Michael Denison directed by: Richard Attenborough January 31, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.94
When C.S.Lewis, author of such books as "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" was only a small boy of 9, his mother died and he learned that his only way through the pain and loneliness was to encase himself in an impenetrable shell, so that pain could not touch him. He leads an ordered, safe life as an Oxford Don, singing in the cathedral choir and lecturing to audiences of adoring women readers. When he meets American writer, Joy Gresham, her brash, New York, Jewish forthrightness almost batters him but luckily he summons enough courage to begin a friendship. He agrees to marry her so as to allow her and her son to remain in England and gradually she softens his defences and becomes part of his life as a platonic friend. When they discover that Joy is dying from incurable cancer, Lewis realises ... Read More

2.Wings of Desire starring: Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander, Curt Bois, Peter Falk directed by: Wim Wenders June 06, 2000

I was under the impression that "Wings of Desire" was a unique love story and I guess it is. However that aspect of the film was almost a distraction compared to the real nature of the movie. For me, "Wings of Desire" is a brilliant cinematic concept of angels in the world around us. If that sounds overly religious or unappealling, hold on. The way director Wim Wenders brings his vision to life is the essential beauty of this movie. We almost get the impression that these angels punch in and punch out. They are sincere and they do what they can to help whenever they see the appropriate opportunity. However, they are angels; not God. We see efforts that succeed and efforts that fail and we realize that these angels can influence but not prevent. We see, through their eyes, the beautiful and the banal. ... Read More

3.The African Queen starring: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Robert Morley, Peter Bull, Theodore Bikel directed by: John Huston August 26, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.11
What a work of art! This is one of the best movies of all time. When the spinster missionary woman (Hepburn) must TOLERATE Mr. Arnaut (Bogart) in their life-threatening trip down the river in a beat-up old boat, The African Queen, the fun begins. She can drum up no respect for this man--until she realizes that he is an intelligent person who may be able to save their lives by his cool wit. He good naturedly sloughs off her constant criticism, while she endures his slovenly ways and colorful language. At some point they start developing a strong like for each other. When Bogie finally shaves, well you know romantic sparks are about to fly. Movies or stories do not come any better than this.

4.King of Hearts starring: Jacques Balutin, Alan Bates, Jackie Blanchot, Robert Blome, Pierre Brasseur October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.68
"October 1918" is the date for this story. German soldiers are planting explosives to destroy the advancing British soldiers when they occupy a French city. The townspeople hurriedly evacuate the town. The British are warned, they will not march into town. Instead Private Plumpick [some pun?] will be sent in to scout the town and defuse the bombs - by himself! [Believable?] Discovered by the Germans, he flees into a building for refuge and safety; it is the local insane asylum. The result of the German withdrawal is the inmates can wander freely into the deserted town and select new clothes from the abandoned homes. [This slow-paced action doesn't seem too funny to me.] Comedy is in part cultural, and attitudes change. Perhaps the humor is in suggesting the clothes make the man or woman? Or what looks like normal people ... Read More

5.Bond: On Her Majesty's Secret Service starring: Irvin Allen, George Baker, Yuri Borionko, James Bree, Geoffrey Cheshire May 16, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.40
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 2-Disc Ultimate Edition I think GEORGE LAZENBY is the BEST BOND EVER. Too bad that Albert R. Brocolli and Harry Saltzman decided to chuck this Australian car salesman, after his one-time appearance as James Bond. Diana Rigg IS the prettiest Bond Girl. Louis Armstrong sings: 'We have all the time in the world'. Telly Savalas makes a terrific Ernest Stavro Blofeld. There is a tremondous Ice-Skating sequence, that has yet to be repeated. Many viewvers even from India, would not have noticed the 'saree-clad', Miss India, among the array of 'Bond-girls'. Also this movie, unlike all the other movies, in the ENTIRE lot, is closest to Bond - Creator, Ian Fleming's Book.

6.Les Miserables starring: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michel Boujenah, Alessandra Martines, Salomé Lelouch, Annie Girardot directed by: Claude Lelouch September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $74.95
Another French film told well. Nice to see some actors in roles you would not expect. Is a film that will make you feel good.

7.Johnny Stecchino starring: Roberto Benigni, Nicoletta Braschi, Paolo Bonacelli, Gaetano Campisi, Alessandro De Santis directed by: Roberto Benigni September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.77
this movie is a comedy masterpiece it is complex with hilarious moments Roberto Benigni is a brilliant comedian one of the best in the business i will buy anything he's a part of. my movie collection cannot be complete without this film hopefully they will release it on DVD soon. there arent many comedies that would have me cackling like a fat lady in a fun house but this is definately a must see i would give it 10 stars.

8.Au Revoir Les Enfants starring: Gaspard Manesse, Raphael Fejtö, Francine Racette, Stanislas Carré de Malberg, Philippe Morier-Genoud directed by: Louis Malle March 29, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.50
This tragic coming-of-age tale (filmed in French) is an all-time classic that took forever to make it to DVD because of a longstanding family squabble. Unlike the seemingly ancient VHS version (only 20 years old, but film decomp makes it look like WWII newsreel footage), the digital transfer solves sound and visual problems -- especially the subtitles, which were annoying oversized in the original. As for the plot -- it's long, like the movie, but in a nutshell: Jewish boy goes to German school pretending to be non-Jew during WWII in order to save his life. He forms a friendship with a non-Jewish boy at the school, and...that's all I'll say, as giving anymore away will rob you of a great movie viewing experience. If you can find it solo, buy it. If not, there's a boxed four pack of Louis Malle films that includes this one. Pricey, but the ... Read More

9.Fawlty Towers - The Complete Collection starring: John Cleese, Prunella Scales December 16, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.98
Fawlty Towers is one of those British sitcoms that although they haven't a high number of episodes, the quality alone is something to make it a timeless classic. I think the high number of people who wil gladly vouch for how good this sitcom is only expresses the true quality of the comedy and the cast involved. The characters are well defined and the setting is utilised to its full potential. Only 13 episodes were made but managed to gain such a cult following, those 13 episodes were just enough to keep the likes of Basil Fawlty a household name for over 30 years. Only the likes of Del Boy and Rodney have gained such a heightened level of comedic status. The story is simple, Fawlty Towers is a hotel owned and managed by Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) and his wife sybil (Prunella Scales). Basil is supported by his hotel cleaner and waitress ... Read More

10.Tango Lesson starring: Sally Potter, Pablo Veron, Naveira, Salas, Too directed by: Sally Potter March 16, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.20
Tango Lesson Is only for tangueros - it illustrates a one woman obsession with the dance. Hence it's quite limited and you must be very interested in Tango/Milonga to get anything from it.
