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.The Miracle (1959) starring: Carroll Baker, Roger Moore, Walter Slezak, Vittorio Gassman, Katina Paxinou directed by: Irving Rapper July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $33.95
It is truly a shame that this film is not available on DVD in this age of technology! Furthermore...[.....]..ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I already have a copy on VHS and I bought it brand new...and no...it did not cost anywhere near [.....]. That is a total rip off. The movie is entertaining, but it's not that good and most people have never heard of it. Why the scandalous greed when it comes to selling a copy of a VHS? I am just going to have my copy transferred to DVD and I will sell them for [.....] bucks a whop. I'm an incurable romantic and a Catholic and that is why this movie appealed to me. Believe me...it's no great drama, but if you are a romantic like myself, you will enjoy it very much.

3.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

4.The Dead starring: Anjelica Huston, Donal McCann, Dan O'Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Helena Carroll directed by: John Huston September 16, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.77
The tenor evoking the memory of Michael Furey (the dead) for the wife,as he sings during the dinner party, assumes a more significant role when heard in a film score, than when left to a reader's imagination. John Huston had the keen sense to find the best - Irish tenor Frank Patterson, who died in 2000. According to CD notes for a Patterson collection including this song, he was originally going to be hired merely as the voice, but was then cast to act and sing. While I admire the acting and directing as noted by so many others, it's the power of Patterson's marvelously wistful singing, so clear and pure, that most illuminates what little plot there is,and lingers with me. Hearing the song as he sings it, allows me to enter the wife's mind and interpret how she lamented her long-lost lover. ... Read More

5.Anne of Avonlea starring: Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst, Wendy Hiller, Frank Converse, Jonathan Crombie directed by: Kevin Sullivan April 16, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
messes the story line up a bit, but keeps the most important elements for the most part. if you've read the books, it might be a little disapointing, but once you get wrapped up in it, you'll get over that disapointment.

6.Driving Miss Daisy starring: Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy, Dan Aykroyd, Patti LuPone, Esther Rolle directed by: Bruce Beresford April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.82
This unforgettable film is timeless and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Its lessons are invaluable. Tracing the autumn and winter years of Daisy Werthen through her relationship with her chauffeur, we learn how a woman of strong opinions can change her view of the world through the help of an uneducated yet wise man. Morgan Freeman plays the part of the chauffeur, known as "Hoke," and Jessica Tandy is featured as the strong-willed curmudgeon, Miss Daisy. Over the years, Hoke becomes indispensable to Miss Daisy, despite her initial dismissive attitude toward the man. Through his kind nature and overall good character, he becomes her closest friend and she his staunchess ally. This film will touch your heart at its very core and leave an indelible mark with a positive ... Read More

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.

9.Revolution (1985) starring: Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland, Nastassja Kinski, Joan Plowright, Dave King directed by: Hugh Hudson June 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.62
I think its easily the best movie about the American Revolution. The A&E videos of TV pressentations of "The Crossing" and "Benedict Arnold" are also very good. While how good it is is a matter of opinion, anyone who thinks that Gibson's silly movie is better doesn't know much about American history. This movie has the feeling of the 1770s and the criticism of Pacino's and Kinsky's accents is amusing. The residents of the americas came from every corner of the earth and regional accents were numerous. Who knows how anyone sounded? The real disappointment is that the available Portuguese region one dvd has very disappointing video quality. But at least it IS widescreen. But I am looking forward to a decent U.S. release. I suspect the dvd import is pirated. But its great how controversial this movie ... Read More

10.Green Dolphin Street starring: Van Heflin, Lana Turner, Donna Reed, Richard Hart, Frank Morgan directed by: Victor Saville March 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.98
"Green Dolphin Street" is one of those cheesefests of Hollywood's Golden Age that has slipped into obscurity. At least "Black Narcissus",the camp classic,has its own Criterion Edition. Why NOT the love triangle set in New Zealand, with its needlessly complicated plot and Lana Turner in her fantastical outfits? "Green Dolphin Street" is all about two sisters who live on the Channel Islands between England and France. There's the good girl, Marguerite (Donna Reed), and the bad grrrrl Marianne (Lana Turner). They're both enamored of the dull William (Richard Hart) William sets off to China as a trader. After a drunken night, he dashes off a letter to his intended... but he writes "Marianne" instead of "Marguerite." Friends don't let friends drink and write. William realizes his mistake too late. Marianne is brash, bossy, and ... Read More
