1.Where the Lilies Bloom starring: Julie Gholson, Jan Smithers, Matthew Burrill, Helen Harmon, Sudie Bond directed by: William A. Graham December 21, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.85
This is a powerful and unique movie. It touches deeply and lastingly. I saw this movie when I was a boy, and never forgot it, (though I could not remember its name.) It was such an engaging, charming, and sensitive movie, I was very affected by it. I recently found this movie at the local library, and truly rejoiced when I did. It brought back memories of that movie I had always somewhat remembered watching when I was a boy. Well, it doesn't disappoint. Filmed entirely in Watauga county, North Carolina, it is thoroughly steeped in Appalachian authenticity. You are totally transported to this locale and era, and get to view life from the perspective of 4 orphaned kids who must keep the death of their father a secret, lest they get split up and be ...

2.Pride & Prejudice (1995) (6pc) (Coll Box) starring: Saw December 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.19
This is by far the best version of "Pride and Prejudice". I believe I have seen every one of them and none compares. Laurence Olivier was great of course as Darcy, but Colin Firth has completely captured the character. I doubt that any one will ever be able to portray Darcy better. I am extremely satified that I purchased the 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition even though I all ready had the original DVD of the same produecton. It is definitely well worth the price. I strongly recommend it to every one. The DVDs come in a beautifully designed case, and I thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying behind-the-scenes disc. Even though Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were busy making other movies and could not be on it, the remaining cast members were very entertaining. The accompanying ... Read More

3.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

5.Green Dolphin Street starring: Van Heflin, Lana Turner, Donna Reed, Richard Hart, Frank Morgan directed by: Victor Saville March 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.98
"Green Dolphin Street" is one of those cheesefests of Hollywood's Golden Age that has slipped into obscurity. At least "Black Narcissus",the camp classic,has its own Criterion Edition. Why NOT the love triangle set in New Zealand, with its needlessly complicated plot and Lana Turner in her fantastical outfits? "Green Dolphin Street" is all about two sisters who live on the Channel Islands between England and France. There's the good girl, Marguerite (Donna Reed), and the bad grrrrl Marianne (Lana Turner). They're both enamored of the dull William (Richard Hart) William sets off to China as a trader. After a drunken night, he dashes off a letter to his intended... but he writes "Marianne" instead of "Marguerite." Friends don't let friends drink and write. William realizes his mistake too late. ... Read More

6.The Outsiders starring: C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe directed by: Francis Ford Coppola April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.39
This is a great DVD with the extra scenes in it bringing the book more fully to life Don't get me wrong I adored the original but this is better. I think the music is fine and not at all distracting. Highly recommended.

7.Island of the Blue Dolphins starring: Celia Kaye, Larry Domasin, Ann Daniel, George Kennedy, Carlos Romero directed by: James B. Clark January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $34.99
This is the story of Karana, a young Indian girl raised on an island off the coast of California. Supposedly it is based on a true story, and it tells of how she survived on her native island after all of her people were removed and her younger brother was killed. The reader never knows why Karana's people were removed from the island, which would have helped me understand the story a bit better. While Scott O'Dell is a good storyteller, there are some gaps that I wished he had explained better. For instance, when the Aleuts first came to the island when Karana's father was still living, there seems to be no gap in communications. Somehow the Aleuts can communicate with the natives. When the white men come and cart off Karana's people there again is no communication gap. However, after the Aleuts return ... Read More

8.Some Came Running starring: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Shirley MacLaine, Martha Hyer, Arthur Kennedy directed by: Vincente Minnelli September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.80
Wide Screen Color Bonanaza, Vincente Minnelli, Judy's hubby, known for lavish Hollywood Musicals, does a very theatrical late 1950's melodrama, almost Douglas Sirk like. Oh, the repressed sexuality and hypocracy. It's not a 50's Hitchcock masterpiece like Vertigo or To Catch a Thief, but the film's from a pot-boiler James Jones novel, takes itself pretty seriously, slicing away that exotic Indiana underbelly with Shirley MacLaine doin the cupie doll stereotype. Arthur Kennedy does not look like Frank Sinatra's brother, but he is slimey. Frank and Dean play, ah, Frank and Dean. Look, there's good scenes, despite some hokey steamy stuff. The real meat of this film, the Sinatra-MacLaine insult and love me scenes, nice work and Dean comes in for a mean-turn that's kind of believable. But the best, the Director's carnival ... Read More

9.All That Heaven Allows starring: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead, Conrad Nagel, Virginia Grey directed by: Douglas Sirk February 17, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.85
"All That Heaven Allows" is a 1950s sudser that can be watched on a couple of levels. First and foremost is the entertainment value. Jane Wyman is so terrific playing widow Carrie Scott. Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, three different suitors move in on her. The most intriguing, and from the perfect 1950s standpoint, the most unconventional, is her landscaper, Ron Kirby. Ron is younger. Material wealth means nothing to him, preferring to spend his time with his trees, living Thoreau rather than just reading him. Carrie eventually gives in to temptation and the suburban milieu she skates over is in an uproar. Tongues wag, and her children are shamed: A gardener, Mom! Perish the thought! Let's get you a television instead! It's a soap opera, of course, but also, on a deeper level, an indictment of a certain aspect of that era, ... Read More

10.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 Richard Farnsworth, an actor and ... Read More
