1.Stuart Saves His Family starring: Al Franken, Laura San Giacomo, Vincent D'Onofrio, Shirley Knight, Harris Yulin directed by: Harold Ramis June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.42
There are about ten laughs in this film by smarmfart Al Franken. Worth seeing once. But Franken's brilliant creation is Stuart himself. Full disclosure: I loath Franken's politics and most of his other humour, but this work is a brilliant exception. Stuart Saves his family is an overlong extension of a SNL skit about "Stuart" the over twelve-stepped psychological casualty of our continuously self-indulgent selves. Rather than overcome his traumas, Stuart nurses them like a bacteriological growth in an inner Petri dish. He stumbles through a series of activities where his therapiezed world view provides conflict with others functioning normally (operating thetans), and abnormally (everyone in his family). I never really got the works of LRH, but his paranoia ... Read More

2.Arsenic & Old Lace starring: Cary Grant, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre directed by: Frank Capra July 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I recently purchased this classic black and white movie starring Cary Grant, and I really liked it. I had seen it many times when I was younger but the last time I had seen it was several years ago late at night on some satellite channel. When I first watched this dvd I realized that the version I had always seen on T.V. had been edited. The difference between the dvd and T.V. version were that the introductory screen credits to the movie was a Halloween cartoon and there were several other scenes that had been edited or deleted altogether. There were a few special features but nothing too exciting. I would have rated this movie as perfect except for the fact that it has outdated slapstick humor and of course it is only b&w (black and white). I would have preferred for it to be available ...

3.Neighbors starring: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Kathryn Walker, Cathy Moriarty, Igors Gavon directed by: John G. Avildsen August 06, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.90
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.

4.The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I starring: Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Marjorie Main, Louise Allbritton, Percy Kilbride directed by: Chester Erskine February 13, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the entire family can watch together. Chester Erskine produced, directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Fred F. Finklehoffe in this hilarious and heartwarming film all will enjoy. Claudettle Colbert is wonderful as the shocked but game Betty when on her honeymoon her husband Bob (Fred MacMurray) informs her he has quit his brokerage house job and bought a chicken farm in the country. She figures things could be worse, and they are, as their farm is a ramshackle old place that fights back! After all, there's not another place in the ... Read More

5.Beetlejuice (P&S Slip) starring: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton, Annie McEnroe, Maurice Page directed by: Tim Burton July 15, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Maybe the definitive Burton film (or maybe more like a tie with `Edward Scissorhands'), `Beetlejuice' is a perfect representation of what Tim Burton is all about. It is loud and boisterous and at the same time dark and edgy. The film very much looks and feels like almost everything that comes out of the Burton factory, yet it is surprisingly fresh in a way. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is one of his earlier works and so the colors and graphics are not as crisp, which adds an almost gothic layer to the films feel. Then again, maybe it is the mere fact that Michael Keaton gives the best performance in any Burton film; ever. The film follows Adam and Barbara as they learn to cope with life after death. Yes, a horrific car accident leaves Adam and Barbara dead yet confined ... Read More

6.Matilda (1996) (Clam) starring: Kiami Davael, Embeth Davidtz, Pam Ferris, Gregory R. Goliath, Leor Livneh Hackel June 25, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
"Matilda" is about a small girl in a home more interested in making a sleazy buck than thinking about its children. Worse yet, she is sent to a private school led by an abusive former female Olympic shot-put, hammer-throw, and javelin winner. The good news is that Matilda develops special mind powers that enable her to free her teacher from the abusive principal and recover her home, as well as free herself from her non-caring parents - to be adopted by her wonder teacher.

7.Addams Family Reunion (Clam) starring: Tim Curry, Daryl Hannah, Ed Begley Jr., Ray Walston, Kevin McCarthy directed by: Dave Payne September 22, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
I admit that I was slightly dissapointed when I watched this movie. The fact that there were different actors and actresses took awhile to get used to, but they were better than I expected. Tim Curry was actually a very good Gomez, apart from his attempt to sound Spanish. Daryl Hannah was a wonderful Morticia, accept for the fact that the person who tweezed her eyebrows did a very bad job. Wednesday was not the same, Christina Ricci portrayed her part alot better, but she was an okay Wednesday. As for Pugsley, they over-exaggerated his weight too much. Fester was more like the original from the TV series, having a high-pitched voice, unlike the Fester in the past two movies. Lurch was the same as always, and Mama was pretty good too. Thing was still terrific. The special effects weren't too great, but the movie ... Read More

8.Ma & Pa Kettle: The Kettles on Old MacDonald's Farm starring: Marjorie Main, Parker Fennelly, Gloria Talbott, John Smith, George Dunn directed by: Virgil W. Vogel April 25, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.85
EVEN THOUGH PA IS NOT PERCY I FIGURED IT WOULD STILL BE NICE TO SEE THE GOOD OLD FUNNY FAMILY THAT LOVES EACHOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY ANYHOW. IT RUBBED ME WRONG TO SEE OLD MA GIVE PA THE BOOT. IT WASN'T IN THE NORM FOR THE WELL KNOWN AND LOVED MA ND PA MOVIES. I THINK IT HAD FUNNY PARTS IN IT, BUT ITS A GOOD 45 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE BEFORE IT GETS FUNNY. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THERE BEST ONES IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH.

9.Morgan Stewart's Coming Home starring: Jon Cryer, Lynn Redgrave, JD Cullum, Robert Sedgwick, Waweru Njenga directed by: Alan Smithee, Paul Aaron, Terry Winsor April 27, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
How can you fault a movie that opens with a close up of the poster for Fulci's ZOmbie, features a George A Romero look-alike, and has the horror film geek's answer to Richie Rich - the kid with all the toys you wanted!! I mean, a Tobe Hooper autographed chainsaw!! I love this movie and I salute the others on this page who share my affections! wishing for a DVD release

10.Mama, There's a Man in Your Bed starring: Daniel Auteuil, Firmine Richard, Pierre Vernier, Maxime Leroux, Gilles Privat directed by: Coline Serreau June 23, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.99
When I saw this film for a film class years ago, it was called "Romauld et Juliette" and it had subtitles. It was then released here under this title, which hardly gives the impression of a lovely, moving, surprising film that starts with implications of white-collar crime but ends up with a joyful meshing of relationships. At least the "American remake" never happened--and I hope it never does. This film is perfect as it is.
