1.Anne of Green Gables starring: Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst, Richard Farnsworth, Patricia Hamilton, Marilyn Lightstone directed by: Kevin Sullivan April 16, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
this is the best in the three part series. it follows the book almost to a "T" and the acting is splendid. if you have children who are yet too young to read, this is a great way to share the ANNE OF GREEN GABLES experience with them.

2.Back Street starring: Susan Hayward, John Gavin, Vera Miles, Charles Drake, Virginia Grey directed by: David Miller February 03, 1993

This VHS tape is blank...Back Street Thumbs down on this seller. I am very dissatisfied. I have bought many used items through Amazon and always had very good results with other sellers. I wrote to the seller and did not get a response. I asked for details on returns and no response. I asked for a refund and no response. Do not purchase from this seller. I am still waiting for action to be taken to resolve this issue. I rate this BAD (no stars). I hope Amazon can help me with this problem.

3.Angus starring: Charlie Talbert, George C. Scott, Kathy Bates, Perry Anzilotti, Robert Curtis Brown directed by: Patrick Read Johnson August 27, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.88
I love this movie. I haven't seen it in years and I am dismayed to learn that it isn't available on DVD yet. This is one of the best teen movies I have ever seen. It's sweet, honest, funny and kind. Please release Angus on DVD soon powers that be. Thanks!

4.To Sir, with Love starring: Sidney Poitier, Christian Roberts, Judy Geeson, Suzy Kendall, Lulu directed by: James Clavell July 08, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.20
2.5 stars. Poitier is Poitier. I'm starting to believe his whole charm was that he looked good in sixties-styled clothing. But as far as having any depth I've only seen a glimmer of it in A raisin in the sun. The rest, well, they all seem like the same character. Really, there's no difference between this performance and that of A patch of Blue or Guess who's coming to Dinner. Plus if this was the depth of problems in the late sixties then truly it was a generation of spoiled brats. I just wasn't impressed.

5.Turning Point starring: Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leslie Browne, Tom Skerritt directed by: Herbert Ross May 19, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.60
I am very surprised that this movie had this high ratings. I may agree with others on the right casting, but this was not my genre. I mean, I love watching ballet but I hated to see ballet connected with divorce, alcohol, sexual relationships before marriage, jealous, mean words and actions, and swearing words. It was a very ugly movie with a beautiful ballet. The dance was exquisite but I didn't enjoy it at all because I didn't like the characters at all. When my daughter covered her ears, I had to turn it off. The peace came back as soon as it was shut off. I picked this movie because it was on the government's pick list, but I don't think my Heavenly Father wants me to watch this again.

6.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 the depth of his ... Read More

7.Yentl starring: Robbie Barnett, Lynda Baron, Danny Brainin, Renata Buser, Allan Corduner December 31, 1992

I have all of Barbra Streisand movies on Dvd except for this one. This is one of the biggest mysteries. It probably is Barbra's best film ever and it is still not out on Dvd. What are they waiting for? I wish someone knew the answer to this question.

8.12 Angry Men starring: Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott, Hume Cronyn, Ossie Davis, Courtney B. Vance directed by: William Friedkin November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.95
Watching this 1997 version of 12 ANGRY MEN recently, I was struck by the fact that four of the 12 actors in key roles here have since passed away. That has absolutely nothing to do with the film's quality, of course (or nothing directly to do with it), but it is striking that key members of this impressive cast--and of course, I'm referring to Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott, Hume Cronyn and Ossie Davis-- have gone on to that jury box in the sky. As I say, the fact that these great actors have all died within the past decade is not a direct reflection on the film itself. But it does raise at least one issue that a previous reviewer has noted: namely, the question of the cast's relative age in comparison to the cast of the 1957 classic movie version. Jack Lemmon was 72 when he played Juror #8 in this version. ... Read More

9.Mindwalk starring: Liv Ullmann, Sam Waterston, John Heard, Ione Skye, Emmanuel Montes directed by: Bernt Amadeus Capra January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $28.95
This VHS production of Mindwalk is a great film if you consider yourself a thinker. It follows the conversation of three characters as they discuss the composition of the universe and its implications from the perspectives of a scientist, a politician, and an artist. If you're not the cerebral type and prefer an action movie with a lead character that saves the day by the end of the movie, this film is not for you. But if you're susceptible to deep conversations about life and the operating principles surrounding it, then you might find this film to be quite a trip!

10.Separate But Equal starring: Sidney Poitier, Burt Lancaster, Richard Kiley, Cleavon Little, Gloria Foster directed by: George Stevens Jr. January 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.75
SEPARATE BUT EQUAL (1991-PG) is one of my favorite movies. Nominated for seven Emmy Awards. It is about the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Case. Starring Sidney Poitier as Thurgood Marshall, the lead attorney for the NAACP, Burt Lancaster, as John W. Davis, arguing the other side, and Richard Kiley, as Chief Justice Earl Warren, it is a powerful story about one of the most important Supreme Court Decisions in the history of our country. The first half is set in South Carolina and depicts the human side of that tragic law called 'separate but equal'. They were separate but anything BUT equal. The second half is the legal battle. My only comment would be that this should be REQUIRED WATCHING to understand the background of the civil rights' movement and the racial situation in our country. As entertaining as it ... Read More
