1.Magnificent Seven starring: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach, Robert Vaughn directed by: John Sturges April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.12
This movie was made in the days before film-makers realized that people were sophisticated enough to recognize corn when they saw it. Horz Bucholz's impetuous kid act was just total corn. Talk about bad acting. Robert Vaughn deliberately affects some kind of bizarre weakling voice quality. The whole premise of the movie was that the villagers were wothless cowards but Bronson goes off his head proclaiming how brave they are because they're dirt scratching farmers. The 40 banditos ride into the village and the hired guns(the seven) expose themselves in positions where they could easily be shot by less than half of 40 banditos. The banditos get the drop on the seven when the seven return to the village and the ultimate in movie absurdity happens. The banditos ... Read More

2.Black Rain starring: Yoshiko Tanaka, Kazuo Kitamura, Etsuko Ichihara, Shoichi Ozawa, Norihei Miki directed by: Shohei Imamura September 04, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.50
I found a used DVD on eBay for $35. It wasn't worth it. The image is letterboxed, but so small that you have to blow it up to resolution-killing proportions. I also own the VHS and laserdisc of "Black Rain." The tape offers a MUCH better image. The laserdisc gives the best results of all. I am outraged at the prices being asked here. I really hope this great movie will be re-released with proper care, and that the people who want to rip you off will be left holding the bag.

3.Drunken Master 2 starring: Jackie Chan, Kwok Kuen Chan, Wai Yee Chan, Chi-Kwong Cheung, Kar Lok Chin directed by: Jackie Chan September 22, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.21
Jackie Chan truly delivers a spectacular performance. In the final battle scene Jackie takes it to the extreme. This movie will surely become a classic in the martial art genre, in the pure tradition of the Bruce Lee style.

4.Sonic the Hedgehog: Movie (Dub) starring: Martin Burke, Masami Kikuchi, Lainie Frasier, Hekiru Shiina, Yasunori Matsumoto directed by: Kazunori Ikegami September 07, 1999

This is the only sonic movie ever to be made since it first came out in late eigities. This is and old dvd is somewhat difficult to find in local stores try to see if you can find it used a CD ware house or something like that. I got it there along with the second Lethal weapon for under $20 with the tax included. They do have this for sale used on amazom but the copies are severly limited only have about 7 used copies currently avilable for sale. In addition the copies they do have are drastically over priced and cost about 6 to 12 times more than what what they should cost. The copies are in really good condition. The copies on averag the price of seven copies vary but the average price is some where from $70 to $140 dollas for one copy. This movie features sonic, tails, knuckles eggman still call robontnick ... Read More

5.Runaway Train starring: Jon Voight, Eric Roberts, Rebecca De Mornay, Kyle T. Heffner, John P. Ryan directed by: Andrei Konchalovsky July 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I saw this many years ago and found it on sale recently. It is a superb movie, one of the best! The scenery is breath-taking, the plot rivoting, acting is top notch, and has a startling ending. There is also some rough language from the prisoners in the jail and the escaped convicts which I could have lived without, but it is realistically done. Two prisoners escape from a maximum security prison and hop on board a train whose engineer dies, leaving the train as a runaway with nobody on board able to stop it. Jon Voight turns in a tour de force performance as convict Manny, a fierce, crazed individual running from himself. His tag-along buddy, Buck, is an obnoxious fellow who is trying to ingratiate himself with Manny, but is not really a hard core con. They are joined by Sara, a train worker ... Read More

7.Sanshiro Sugata (AKA Judo Saga) starring: Denjirô Ôkôchi, Susumu Fujita, Yukiko Todoroki, Ryunosuke Tsukigata, Takashi Shimura directed by: Akira Kurosawa June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.74
Martial arts films have come a long way since this curious historical drama, the first feature film directed by the up-and-coming Akira Kurosawa. Filmed and edited during wartime, it dramatizes the story of the late 19th Century development of judo as a breakaway form of the jiu-jitsu school of martial arts. Without the benefit of Hong Kong style wire-works or the flashy acrobatics of Bruce Lee, et al, the combat looks mostly like wrestling or sumo... Which, perhaps, back in the 1880s, it was. Takashi Shimura introduces his role as an older wise man, in custody over the spiritual growth of a younger firebrand; the plot has a bit of a Romeo and Juliet tone to it, as the young champion of judo falls in love with the daughter of a rival school's sensei. Fans who have seen Kurosawa's glorious later films will notice right ... Read More

8.Early Summer starring: Setsuko Hara, Chishu Ryu, Chikage Awashima, Kuniko Miyake, Ichirô Sugai directed by: Yasujiro Ozu June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.95
Early Summer (Bakushû) is the middle entry in what has been called director Yasujiro Ozu's Noriko Trilogy (bookended by Late Spring and Tokyo Story). All three films feature women named Noriko (all played by Setsuko Hara), who are without husbands, and embroiled in family dramas. The names of many of the other major characters recur in the trilogy, as well, which gives the films a feeling of almost being alternate world versions of each other- ala the way comic books have `canonical' superhero tales, and those set in alternate universes. Released in 1951, the 124 minute black and white film was written by Ozu and his co-writer Kôgo Noda, and is every bit as great a film as its two more celebrated companion pieces. The film featured many of Ozu's actors from the two other films, and in many ways is a variation on the narrative ... Read More

Quality is what I expected for such and old tape. I am pleased overall.

10.The Mistress (aka Gan, Wild Geese) starring: Hideko Takamine, Hiroshi Akutagawa, Jukichi Uno directed by: Shiro Toyoda March 28, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.95
Director Shiro Toyoda has wrought a deeply affecting film which is not only a beautiful cinematic work, but also an exceptional study of female psychology. A woman believes that she is married to a prosperous man, but suddenly discovers that he is already married and that she is no more than his mistress. Set in the period when Japan was moving toward industrialization, The Mistress explores the confict between the demands of society and individual freedom.
