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: $18.99
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.Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) starring: Tom Berenger, Martin Sheen, Stephen Lang, Jeff Daniels, Richard Jordan directed by: Ronald F. Maxwell July 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.65
"Gettysburg" is a film best watched in parts as it is very long (it needed to be lenghty though). This is one of the most accurate civil war films I have seen and an impressive number of reeactors were used in some of the battle scenes. Picket's Charge is particullarly well filmed as is the fighting on Little Round Top. Not all of the battle could be covered even in this epic and the cavalry battle on July third is excluded. The musical score is very appropriate and the film has a fine collection of actors. Jeff Daniels, Martin Sheen, Sam Elliot, and Tom Berenger portray their characters well and surprisingly, all of these four except Elliot look a lot like the historical figures they are portraying. The other actors generally do a good job as well. Overall, "Glory" is still my ... Read More

3.Lawrence of Arabia starring: John Dimech, José Ferrer, Alec Guinness, Jack Gwillim, Jack Hawkins January 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.26
In the product description is said it has subtitles in spanish, due to the fact that my dad only speaks spanish I thought it would be a great gift for him and make him remember his days of youth, but its just a BIG LIE!!! the movie only has 2 languages: English and French. Now why didn't we returned it? We are too far away to start a process like that and my dad was too excited to take a look at the description that he just peeled off the wrap.

4.Kill Bill, Volume 2 starring: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu directed by: Quentin Tarantino August 10, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.60
I want to make it VERY clear, the three stars are NOT for the movie. Kill Bill, in my view, is one of the best movies ever made but this evaluation is for THIS Kill Bill Blu-ray release. I am totally sold on Blu and, when the Kill Bill bundle became available... well... I ordered it when Amazon offered it at a great discount. The bundle includes Kill Bill 1 and 2 and, IF you wish to upgrade your KBs I highly recommend the bundle because you could save a few dollars. There is no difference between the 2 KBs sold as individual titles and them sold together other than, possibly, the price. I wish I had a lot to say about the Blu-ray version but I don't so, let me say what is worth saying: - The contents of the Blu-ray version are EXACTLY those of the DVD edition, ... Read More

5.Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (Widescreen Edition) starring: Jason Scott Lee, Cary Elwes, Lena Headey, Sam Neill, John Cleese directed by: Stephen Sommers May 19, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.70
I haven't read the book, so I don't know how accurate the film is, but I enjoyed this version of "The Jungle Book". It's all about a grown up Mowgli's struggle to fit in with British colonial society, after he is lured out (more or less) by Kitty, a girl he knew as a child before he was lost to the jungle, a girl who just happens to be the local Colonel's daughter. Her boyfriend, a British soldier called William, doesn't like Mowgli at all, but he is however terribly fascinated by the golden dagger Mowgli found in the jungle... It's worth a look. Sam Neill and John Cleese are both in the film, and I enjoyed their performances, I usually do when they're in films. Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli wasn't too bad either, though I haven't really seen him in much else. The Indian location was a great idea, ... Read More

6.Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms (Ws Rmst) starring: Kuan Tai Chen, Feng Lu, Philip Kwok, Meng Lo, Chien Sun directed by: Cheh Chang December 08, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.45
This was a great find and great buy! Wonderfully priced and received very quickly!

7.Braveheart (Widescreen Edition) starring: Alun Armstrong, Stephen Billington, Mhairi Calvey, James Cosmo, Brian Cox August 27, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Notwithstanding historical inaccuracies (and there are many), this was great entertainment. I usually watch a DVD at home over the course of 2-3 nights, but I could not turn this one off, and watched the whole thing (nearly 3 hours) in one sitting. Such a great story and wonderful acting, scenery, etc.

8.The Alamo: Original Uncut Version starring: Carlos Arruza, Frankie Avalon, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Calleia, Linda Cristal September 26, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.88
I love this film. It's entertaining as it can be but historically it is way off the mark. The lyrics of one of song goes as follows: "...let the legend grow and grow....'bout those thirteen days of glory at the siege of Alamo..." I think this demonstrates Wayne's philosophy..."let the LEGEND grow and grow..." He had no problem with bending the facts a little to emphasize the glory that was Alamo. I'm in total disagreement with this philosophy. I think that the actual story of Alamo is so compelling that it shouldn't be fictionalized. So what if a few men, including possibly Davie Crockett, tried to surrender at the end? Outnumbered, out of ammunition and with a bayonet at your throat, ANYONE would have surrendered. It doesn't diminish the heroism by one iota. That fact is that ... Read More

9.Waterworld (Widescreen Edition) starring: Rick Aviles, R.D. Call, Leonardo Cimino, Kevin Costner, Anthony DeMasters directed by: Kevin Costner July 09, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
most people don't like this movie, but i love it. i've been waiting so long to get the extended edition DVD, little did i know that they would just spit out the TV version. i'm am livid about this!!!! I WANT THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!!! why can't we have the original? waste of money.

10.Fear City starring: Tom Berenger, Billy Dee Williams, Jack Scalia, Melanie Griffith, Rossano Brazzi directed by: Abel Ferrara November 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.29
I can only judge this film by the USA version of the DVD, which is what I viewed. I didn't like it very much. I understand that it was meant to portray a somewhat tawdry lifestyle of strippers in the seedy part of NYC, but this film didn't hold together that well, despite the presence of a first-rate cast. The nudity (mostly strippers doing their dance routines) made me yawn after a while. I expected some nudity in this movie, and nudity doesn't offend me (I've drawn many nudes in Life Drawing class!). But I thought the dance sequences got to be too long and derivative. Obviously everyone else's mileage will vary on this point, and I guess the fact that I am female is not insignificant in explaining my sentiments. Jack Scalia, Tom Berenger, Billy Dee Williams and Melanie Griffith are ... Read More
