1.The Wrong Man starring: Rosanna Arquette, Kevin Anderson, John Lithgow, Jorge Cervera Jr., Ernesto Laguardia directed by: Jim McBride January 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.72
This movie is great viewing.Just the ticket for people trapped in a mundane existence.It starts out in seedy Vera Cruz sailors bars and takes you on a wild ride with desperate characters in a romp through beautifully shot southern Mexico.One of those great adventures in a foreign land movies.A boozy,brawling,sexy,and somewhat vulgar movie,and very entertaining!

2.A Civil Action starring: John Travolta, Robert Duvall, Tony Shalhoub, William H. Macy, Zeljko Ivanek directed by: Steven Zaillian February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.04
As a former resident of the Greater Boston area this was a film that evoked memories on a number of levels. The investigations of cancer clusters and their relationship to EPA Super Fund Sites is still something that should be coordinated. Moving film with solid performances.The follow up to the story is perhaps more hopeful. The sites have been cleaned and are being utilized! Despite the irepairable damage done to these families America can heal itself via the tenacious actions of its citizen/victims and the scar tissue shoud be a reminder as to the dangerous and destructive nature of unmonitored business interests.

3.To Kill a Mockingbird starring: Gregory Peck, John Megna, Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Ruth White (II) directed by: Robert Mulligan March 01, 1992

This is another wonderful story that is added to my DVD collection. The product came in a timely manner, and in excellent condtion.

4.Fried Green Tomatoes starring: Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary-Louise Parker, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cicely Tyson directed by: Jon Avnet February 03, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I loved "Fried Green Tomatoes" at the theater and the old VHS video version (which is the only version on which you can see the original theatrical release), but unfortunately, both DVD versions insert extra scenes which ruin some of the seemless transitions between flashbacks and present-time which were the hallmark of "Fried Green Tomatoes". The extra scenes aren't even particularly good, and this DVD provides no original version without them. This criticism is true for both the Widescreen Collector's Edition and the Anniversary Edition. I'm deeply disappointed, and hoping Universal will one day release the original theatrical version of the film on DVD. What a shame it would be for the theatrical version of "Fried Green Tomatoes" to one day disappear.

5.Bronx Tale starring: Patrick Borriello, Lillo Brancato, Francis Capra, Clem Caserta, Robert D'Andrea February 14, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.83
Well acted, great local scenes of The Bronx, plausible. Good story. De Niro is fantastic in a different sort of role as a hard working, earnest, honest bus driver just trying to show his son a decent way to live. Parmentieri is fantastic as the local crime boss-very believable. Deals with good/bad themes, easy money vs.integrity & hard work, racism & racial clashes in the paradigm of The Bronx. Great musical score.

6.Miracle in the Wilderness starring: Kris Kristofferson, Kim Cattrall, John Dennis Johnston, Rino Thunder, David Oliver directed by: Kevin James Dobson September 15, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.50
I can't believe that this movie has never been released on DVD!!! Especially with all of the fame that Kim Cattrall got with her role in Sex and the City...I would think that it would have created more of a demand for the other things that she has acted in, but somehow this one seems to have been lost along the way somewhere! I first saw this movie on television many years back and later rented it on VHS. It left such an impact on me that I have been waiting and watching for it to come out on DVD ever since. It is a very touching movie...A wonderful twist on the traditional Christmas/Nativity story. Following is a description of the movie (written by Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide): "Derived from Paul Gallico's novella The Snow Goose, this Christmas fable stars Kris Kristofferson as Jericho Adams, a one ...

7.Criminal Justice starring: Forest Whitaker, Anthony LaPaglia, Rosie Perez, Jennifer Grey, Tony Todd directed by: Andy Wolk March 26, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
I teach political science in a community college and use this video every semester. As another reviewer mentioned it does have some documentary qualities to it -- that is perfect for the classroom. Even though it is several years old, it is still quite relevant when discussing the fairness of the criminal justice system, the incredible impact to our society due to the number of people in the criminal justice system, overcrowding, relevance to the Constitution (jury of one's peers, speedy trial, cruel and unusual punishment, etc). It has strong language and scenes, but that keeps the students interested. It is very interesting to have discussions about whether the character is guilty or innocent -- or just a victim of racism and/or the system. Excellent teaching tool that I highly recommend. I need it on DVD.

8.Murder She Purred: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery starring: Ricki Lake, Linden Ashby, Bruce McGill, Christina Pickles, Judith Scott directed by: Simon Wincer April 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.00
This movie is simple, but the cat and dog are great. I do resent the fact that I can't take it over to DVD, considering it is out of print.

9.Midnight Lace starring: Doris Day, Rex Harrison, John Gavin, Myrna Loy, Roddy McDowall directed by: David Miller April 30, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.88
Fog-shrouded London is the setting for MIDNIGHT LACE, a glossy thriller starring Doris Day as a terrorised heiress. Doris Day plays Kit, an American heiress, newly-married to suave English businessman Tony Preston (Rex Harrison). Kit's life couldn't be happier, until she becomes the target of obscene phonecalls and begins to have 'accidents'. The detectives at Scotland Yard begin to feel that perhaps Kit is seeking attention, and even Kit's loving Aunt Bea (Myrna Loy) has her doubts. Is Kit going mad? Or is a killer really out to get her? Doris Day delivers a finely-pitched performance in this frothy thriller. In order to convey the reality of her character's situation, Ms Day drew from her abusive first marriage to musician Al Jordan. The painful memories that Day re-lived for her scenes resulted ...

10.12 Angry Men starring: Courtney B. Vance, Ossie Davis, George C. Scott, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Dorian Harewood directed by: William Friedkin November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
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. In the ... Read More
