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

Another French film told well. Nice to see some actors in roles you would not expect. Is a film that will make you feel good.

4.Tango Lesson starring: Sally Potter, Pablo Veron, Naveira, Salas, Too directed by: Sally Potter March 16, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.20
Tango Lesson Is only for tangueros - it illustrates a one woman obsession with the dance. Hence it's quite limited and you must be very interested in Tango/Milonga to get anything from it.

5.Mayerling (1968) starring: Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve, James Mason, Ava Gardner, James Robertson Justice directed by: Terence Young September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.98
I saw the 1968 version of Mayerling in April of 1969 at a base theater while I was in basic training in the Air Force. I note this because the subject of the film and its well-dressed actors and its European scenery were so different from the military surroundings and military "dress" which I was enduring at the time. I had not heard about the story of Prince Rudolph and Princess Maria before. But suspected Mayerling's tragic ending from the start, but I think it did take the film a long time to reach its conclusion. However, I believe Mayerling was a visual delight and the musical score was beautiful too. The cast was excellent with Omar Sharif and Catherine Deneuve along with Ava Gardner and James Mason. To many the story of these tragic lovers seemed unbelievable ... Read More

This is such a great movie. I do not understand why it has never made it to DVD. I blame the hippies!!!!!!

7.The Straight Story starring: Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek, Jane Galloway Heitz, Joseph A. Carpenter, Donald Wiegert directed by: David Lynch November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
In 1999, one of the most unusual pairings in Hollywood history formed to make a film telling the story of Alvin Straight's odyssey: David Lynch and Walt Disney Pictures. Lynch, arguably one of film's more daring storytellers, the mind behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, is absolutely the very last filmmaker I would ever have believed to team with Disney, except perhaps David Cronenberg. His films often navigate the darkest waters of the human experience with an unflinching eye for images both disturbing and nightmarish, and so naturally the idea that he'd done a film for Disney, a G-rated film at that, I could scarcely believe it. And I absolutely had to see for myself what could come of this most unexpected collaboration. The Straight Story opens with Alvin Straight (played to perfection by the late ... Read More

8.Ponette starring: Victoire Thivisol, Delphine Schiltz, Matiaz Bureau Caton, Léopoldine Serre, Marie Trintignant directed by: Jacques Doillon May 25, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.96
Note: French with English subtitles. Synopsis: Little Ponette (Victoire Thivisol) has recently lost her Mother in a car accident. While her Father is loving and sympathetic towards his daughter, he offers little solace or hope to help her come to grips with her immense loss. After the funeral Ponette is left at boarding school where she attempts to deal with her loneliness with other children her own age who soon begin to offer advise on how Ponette may be able to remain in contact with her dead Mother. Death, dreams, Heaven, Jesus, the All-Mighty are all discussed by this group of bright, young minds who try and help her make sense of it all. Even the use and benefit of magic Smarties is considered as a possible avenue to the realm of the dead. Through all the grief and sorrow Ponette eventually discovers the subtle ... Read More

9.Inner Circle starring: Tom Hulce, Lolita Davidovich, Bob Hoskins, Aleksandr Zbruyev, Feodor Chaliapin Jr. directed by: Andrei Konchalovsky June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.98
This movie is to me Andrei Konchalovsky at his very best. One of the darkest periods of the Russian history told through the eyes of the innocent Ivan Sanshin. Communist Joseph Stalin purportedly killed millions of fellow Russians through famines, executions, deportations, and in the Gulag, most of them for political reasons. No opposition was allowed whatsoever, and Russia experienced the horrors of a blood-thirsty despotic regime with an asphyxiating cult to the "leaders'" persona. As we see Ivan Sanshin's story develop in the movie (Tom Hulce), we can't help but wonder how many peoples along history have blindfoldedly fallen in the depths of savage and ruthless regimes? How many more will keep falling? We have lessons to learn from "The Inner Circle" particularly in countries where ... Read More

10.Little Men (1997) starring: Mariel Hemingway, Michael Caloz, Ben Cook, Ricky Mabe, Chris Sarandon directed by: Rodney Gibbons July 28, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.49
This movie was a grave disappointment to me, but perhaps that is because I first saw the television series "Little Men" (now available here at amazon.com on VHS/DVD). I thought Mariel Hemingway's portrayal of Jo Bhaer was deplorable - no emotion, no spunk...no personality. The boys were entertaining at times, but with Jo being so bland and cardboard-like, the movie was terrible. I recommend purchasing the TV show "Little Men," but beware that there is no Fritz Bhaer on the show. Being a L.M. Alcott enthusiast, I actually did not mind the elimination of Fritz, especially since his "replacement" is a much better fit for Jo.
