1.Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934) starring: Norma Shearer, Fredric March, Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Sullivan, Katharine Alexander directed by: Sidney Franklin September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $27.95
This beautiful production from the early 1930's of a dark shadow hanging over the promise of glorious love and happiness is perhaps Norma Shearer's lovliest performance. The romance between poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett was filmed with a class and meticulous care only MGM could muster. Under Sidney Franklin's direction, William Daniels' photography, and the period flourish provided by Cedric Gibbons, this became one of the greatest romantic dramas ever to be filmed. Shearer loses her modern slinky charm and projects a luminous class as Elizabeth Barrett, a shining soul living with illness in a house strangled of love by her cruel and repressed father, played to horrible perfection by Charles Laughton. Her lifeline is her continuing correspondence with fellow poet ... Read More

2.A Tree Grows in Brooklyn starring: Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell, James Dunn, Lloyd Nolan, James Gleason directed by: Elia Kazan January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.95
This is such a great movie. I am really surprised that it is not on DVD yet. As far as I can tell, Fox Movie Channel is the only network that plays it and that is not offered with our cable package. I would buy a couple of copies if it were on DVD.

3.Our Vines Have Tender Grapes starring: Edward G. Robinson, Margaret O'Brien, James Craig, Frances Gifford, Agnes Moorehead directed by: Roy Rowland September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.75
Caught "Vines.." (missed the very beginning) on TCM and totally fell in love with it! I tivo'ed it and I can't stop watching this charming and sweet movie. Isn't it wonderful to see loving parents? Isn't it wonderful to see loving children? Its a movie I want to share with my whole family. It would make such a great Christmas present... DVD, anyone?

4.Household Saints starring: Tracey Ullman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lili Taylor, Judith Malina, Michael Rispoli directed by: Nancy Savoca April 18, 2000

This was a great, fun movie! Very Catholic, very ethnic, very 50's! Vincent D'onofro is terrific and Tracey Ullman is wonderful,too. Well worth a look!

5.Little Dorrit - Part Two: Little Dorrit's Story starring: Derek Jacobi, Alec Guinness, Joan Greenwood, Max Wall, Patricia Hayes directed by: Christine Edzard December 03, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.75
I purchased this adaption of Little Dorrit several years ago on laserdisc and I enjoyed it, but I found that to fully appreciate this film it was necessary to watch it to the end. The point to this film adaption of a Dicken's book was to tell the same story twice but through differing viewpoints. Certainly the story is not as interesting or as gripping as Dickens more widely read novels and the film could have been improved by cutting and picking up the pace, but I believe the director accomplished his goal. The first half of the film is dark and bleak, people are seen suffering a miserable existence and you do have to wade through a rather pessimistic view of life; but in the second half of the film we see a differing view of life. We see the same scenes over again but now we see them through Dorrit's eyes. The ... Read More

6.All That Jazz starring: Roy Scheider, Jessica Lange, Leland Palmer, Ann Reinking, Cliff Gorman directed by: Bob Fosse March 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.55
Bob Fosse's thinly-veiled autobiographical homage is everything a movie musical should be -- lively, tuneful, funny and even poignant. With a cast which includes the wonderfully sexy Roy Scheider of Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition) fame, Fosse acolytes Ann Reinking and Ben Vereen, and a fabulous pre-plastic surgery Jessica Lange as the gorgeous, ever-present Angel of Death, this musical story of a genius Broadway director with a death-wish, is nothing short of mesmerizing. The story follows Fosse's own life story closely enough to be almost eerie -- even foreshadowing his ultimate demise from heart failure at an out-of-town new play try-out in Washington, D.C., which happened years after this movie was released. But even if it didn't, the movie stands on its own as a very gritty, sweaty and ... Read More

7.Where Love Has Gone starring: Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, Mike Connors, Joey Heatherton, Jane Greer directed by: Edward Dmytryk January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.50
WHERE LOVE HAS GONE TRANSPORTS US ALL BACK TO THE HOLLYWOOD OF THE 1960'S. IT FEATURES BRIGHT, COLORFUL, FUN PERFORMANCES FROM SUSAN HAYWARD, BETTE DAVIS, MICHAEL (LATER MIKE) CONNORS AND JOEY HEATHERTON. IT IS JUST SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT IS SEEN IT ALWAYS ENTERTAINS ANY DAY OR NIGHT. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE FUN ENTERTAINMENT LIKE THIS ANYMORE AND THAT IS QUITE A LOSS. MY HOPE IS THAT PARAMOUNT WILL SOON SEE FIT TO RELEASE WHERE LOVE HAS GONE ON DVD. IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN IN ITS ORIGINAL "TECHNISCOPE" RELEASE AND POSSIBLY STEREO SOUND. PLEASE PARAMOUNT RELEASE WHERE LOVE HAS GONE ON DVD AND LET SUSAN, BETTE AND JOEY ENTERTAIN THE WORLD.........BOY DO WE NEED IT NOW...........A FOREVER SUSAN HAYWARD FAN.........GARY JASINKONIS....EAST NORTHPORT, NEW YORK...........I HAVE SEEN WHERE LOVE HAS GONE COUNTLESS TIMES ...

8.Les Miserables (1998) starring: Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, Christopher Adamson, Tim Barlow directed by: Bille August April 27, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.16
I never cease to be touched by this film; it's one of the few movies I can call "powerful" without being overdramatic. The story centers on Jean Valjean, a convict -- how his life was transformed by the action of a selfless clergyman, and how his own life transforms those around him. It is very much a story about hope, the rarity and value of selflessness and true love and how it transforms the soul more readily than punishment, and the salvation of the human condition. The first act always makes me cry. It's one of the most powerful moments in a movie for me -- more of a spectacle than all the battle scenes ever filmed. When those police drag Jean back to the bishop and toss him down at his feet, and that precious man hands Jean the silver candlesticks, I always expect for that shocked feeling to be weaker. It never is. Although ... Read More
