1.A Town Like Alice starring: Helen Morse, Bryan Brown, Gordon Jackson, Dorothy Alison, Yuki Shimoda directed by: David Stevens July 30, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.20
I loved this series, when I first watched in on television back in the '80s. Every couple of years I pull the tape off the shelf and re-watch it. This is not just for Bryan Brown fans, but for the Gordon Jackson fans in the crowd. Jackson's portrayal of a man who falls in love too late in life, is very touching. I would love to see it available on DVD!

2.To Kill a Mockingbird (Widescreen) starring: Gregory Peck, John Megna, Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Ruth White directed by: Robert Mulligan February 24, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.30
To Kill a Mockingbird (Collector's Edition) Lone fathers and their kids have been a hit in many movies. I have severl examples, like, Ryan and Tatum O'Neil in Paper Moon, Jon Voight and Ricky Schroeder in the re-make of 'The Champ' and Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry in Kramer vs Kramer. Gregory Peck, won an Academy Award, for playing a sole parent, and he's never been better. The script for this movie was based upon Harper Lee's sensitive and intelligent novel set in racially-torn Alabama. Gregory Peck, plays Atticus Finch, a wise lawyer bravely raising his two kids Jem(Phillip Alford) and Scout(Mary Badham) in the hot-headed Southern town. The crux of the plot is Finch's defence of a colored man accused of rape. The film was put together by two excellent film-makers, producer Alan J. Pakula ... Read More

3.'night, Mother starring: Sissy Spacek, Anne Bancroft, Ed Berke, Carol Robbins, Jennifer Roosendahl directed by: Tom Moore April 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.29
Read some of the other reviews and you'll know the basis of the story. But this kind of film is not for everyone. The story line is difficult to say the least. A woman determined to kill herself and the mother (who loves her more than anyone else in this world) trying desperately to find a way to stop it from happening. If suicide is too distressing a subject for you, do not watch this film. If you are thinking of suicide, do not watch this film. It evidences how someone can convince themselves that this is the right choice (which it is not), but hopefully it also points to the fact that a suicide always deeply, adversely and irreversibly affects someone else in this world, even if it's just the person who finds the body (I know of which I speak). This movie may be boring for some, but only because ... Read More

4.Picnic (Widescreen) starring: William Holden, Kim Novak, Betty Field, Susan Strasberg, Cliff Robertson directed by: Joshua Logan June 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.26
Both Borders and Barnes and Noble now carry a widescreen version of Picnic: http://video.barnesandnoble.com/DVD/Picnic/William-Holden/e/043396828797/?itm=4 Widescreen on one side, fullscreen on the other. It says "Columbia Classics" across the top of the package. I wish Amazon would carry this version, as I don't want to open a new account at one of those other places just for one item.

5.Ten Commandments (1956) (Ws) starring: Judith Anderson, Anne Baxter, Yul Brynner, John Carradine, Donald Curtis February 24, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.75
One of the most well acted, well directed and greatest stories ever told. It transends generations. I've watched this movie every Easter since I can remember, and now my children carry on the tradition. This is one to add to the collection.

6.Giant starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Carroll Baker, Jane Withers directed by: George Stevens January 06, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.43
What is it all these people are praising? I saw nothing of the quality which they seem to see. Rock Hudson was ridiculous! James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor are too young to play their roles, no matter how much silver the make-up people spray into their hair. It was so long and boring. The blocking was clumsy and stilted. What else can I say? I could only get through one hour of this disaster. Academy Awards? Give me a break.

7.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.

8.Father Goose starring: Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, Trevor Howard, Jack Good, Sharyl Locke directed by: Ralph Nelson September 18, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
Light-hearted, yet philosophical and with a spark of "danger" thrown in at just the right times. Brilliant role by Cary Grant, with his classic expressions, and subtle moves. Just a great sit-back-and-enjoy movie.

I am a retired high school teacher & first saw a VCR copy of The Learning Tree when our class read the book & saw the film back in the 1970's. The film was so well done & loved by teachers & students. I've never forgotten the story & want to see it on DVD & to give it as gifts,
