So this made for TV film scores only a 7.6 on this site? Bah! Humbug! Without question this 1984 version of Dickens' classic tale is the best ever made. And yes, the Hound has seen the 1951 version which was also good, but not good enough. The lack of color is perhaps the biggest shortcoming of that version, although t... | Positive | null | null |
Another outstanding foreign film which thoroughly trounces the never-ending crop of crud emanating from Hollywood! This is a story of life and living.

The brilliant thing about Withnail & I is that it captures that not long left college and life could go either way moment along with all its other finery. Freebird is something for those who probably never considered higher education and just went straight to work aged 15/16. I know some of the broad sheets stuck the k... | Positive | null | null |
The US State Dept. would not like us to see this movie, because they have a beef with the Iranian govt.

With all of the violence on TV and in the local news, it is refreshing to have a show that has no violence or adult language, yet is still entertaining.

Ernst Marischka, one of the most respected Austrian directors of that time, made films full of beautiful scenes, delicate love and with respect to all that is precious in life. <br /><br />Nowadays, if people should hear about him, they associate the name of Marischka with SISSI trilogy (1955,1956,1957).

Homelessness (or Houselessness as George Carlin stated) has been an issue for years but never a plan to help those on the street that were once considered human who did everything from going to school, work, or vote for the matter.

Can I be as simple and primitive in my evaluations as to simply say "I liked it"? It's reasonably funny by bits, it got great stars and it's gorgeous to look at.

My favourite police series of all time turns to a TV-film. Does it work? Yes. Gee runs for mayor and gets shot. The Homicide "hall of fame" turns up.

I think that most of the folks who have posted comments on this movie don't understand how to watch a movie and/or have little sense of elegance.

This is just the best movie of all times! Sorry, Hollywood!

This did for crime what "Not Another Teen Movie" did for school. I laughed all the way through as 2 inept gangs warred with each other and among themselves.

Having no knowledge of this film prior to seeing it on Rialto Channel I found it to be a pleasant, poignant and enriching film. <br /><br />The casting was excellent.

"Pandora's Clock" is a gripping suspense/thriller that's a cross between a virus movie and a disaster film.

I personally watched this to see the footage of the 60's and 70's.

Sure, it was cheesy and nonsensical and at times corny, but at least the filmmakers didn't try.

I probably saw this movie first in about 1995. Since then I've returned to it many times. It's great! I especially like the first and second clips, "Creation" and "Civilization Rising." Wow!

I have watched quite a few Cold Case episodes over the years, beginning with Season 1 episodes back in 2003-2004.

I am glad other people enjoyed this movie, cause I know it doesn't have the greatest reputation and it made no money at the box office.

"The Ladies Man" suffers a common problem among movies based on "Saturday Night Live" skits. And that is, a sketch that usually succeeds in five minutes will not do so well in ninety minutes.
