1.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 ... Read More

2.Neighbors starring: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Kathryn Walker, Cathy Moriarty, Igors Gavon directed by: John G. Avildsen August 06, 1996

There is probably problems with licensing parts of the Soundtrack... One Part in particular ~ The Dead Kennedy's song playing while they are all in the Kitchen... Holiday in Cambodia. There have been lawsuits over this song between band members and Jello Biafra when Levi's wanted to use it in a commercial. Royalty payment disputes and the like. It has probably killed any chance of getting this film released on DVD.

3.Frankenweenie starring: Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, Barret Oliver, Joseph Maher, Roz Braverman directed by: Tim Burton April 14, 1994

Set in contemporary suburbia, young Victor Frankenstein happily plays with his aptly named bull terrier "Sparky", when the tragic happens... the spunky pooch is hit and killed by a car. Crushed, Victor struggles to acclimate to life without him, when he receives the bright Promethian idea to re-animate Sparky after watching the science teacher demonstrate electrical muscle spasms with an "ex-frog". He rushes home to bring his beloved canine partner back to life. Under the suspicious gaze of a neighbor, he gathers the necessary equipment from the garage, and sneaks out to the pet cemetery to disinterr the pup, anxiously awaiting the next storm to arrive, which is fortunately within a couple night's time. Predictably, after studying through several books on the subject, ... Read More

5.Harold & Maude (Aniv) starring: Harvey Brumfield, Eric Christmas, Bud Cort, Cyril Cusack, Gordon Devol April 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.60
I first saw this movie when I was about 14 years old (1979), back in the days when movie channels would play the same 2-3 movies over and over. I fell in love with it then and have been in love with it ever since. I even won a free ice cream cone at the Ben an Jerry's in Ithaca, NY when (in 2002) I was able to tell them the significance of Maude's tatoo. I have always told my friends that Harold and Maude is my favorite movie and that I think the best movie ever made was Life is Beautiful, by Roberto Bergnini. If you think about it, there are many parallels

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
There was a time, many many years ago, before National Treasure, Ghostrider and Bangkok Dangerous, that Nicholas Cage was in the greatest movie of all time. That movie, was Raising Arizona. If you haven't seen it, please start a Netflix account right now and queue up 4 movies and watch in this order: 1st - National Treasure (wow, did I just sit through that?) 2nd - Ghostrider (wow, someone in Hollywood funded this?) 3rd - Bangkok Dangerous (wow, this is on DVD already? I saw it just opened last week in the theater???) at this point, you are going to want to jump out of a window, but before you do, there is 1 more movie you have to watch...... 4th - Raising Arizona (my god, this is the greatest movie of all time!!!!) You have now seen ... Read More

8.Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad starring: Rosalind Russell, Robert Morse, Barbara Harris, Hugh Griffith, Jonathan Winters directed by: Alexander Mackendrick, Richard Quine September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.00
A zany black comedy about a typical family consisting of a domineering mother (Rosalind Russell), two man-eating piranhas, several Venus flytraps, a baby son - aged twenty-five! (Robert Morse), a lecherous babysitter (Barbara Harris), and a father (Jonathan Winters) who just happens to be a stuffed corpse hanging in the closet! Based on the hit play by Arthur L. Kopit, Oh Dad is a blending of riotous comedy with dramatic elements that move within close range of tragedy. Black-as-pitch, hysterical and sadly ignored upon its initial release, the film boasts a terrific cast headed by the brilliant Russell, (Auntie Mame), who has seldom been funnier as the acid tongued Madame Rosepettle. Right in step is the incandescent Ms. Harris reprising her stage role as Rosalie the hotel babysitter -- and Madame ... Read More

9.Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie starring: Trace Beaulieu, John Brady (VIII), Kevin Murphy (II), Michael J. Nelson April 08, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.94
Normally I am not a consumer of sci fi movies or television shows. My brother convinced me years ago to watch this with him, and I am so glad he did! I laughed myself to tears and had to watch it again to catch some of the jokes I had missed the first time. It's one of the few movies that I have watched over and over throughout the years. I have an old VHS copy, and I was thrilled to find this DVD re-release. If you have an open mind, an appreciation for humor, and some good friends to watch it with, you just might love this movie as much as we do.

This movie was as funny today as 30 years ago. Pete and Dud's comedy is brilliant and stands the test of time.
