417,740 | 663,392 | 47,209 | 7 | Not the Best Ripper Film | Always liked " The Lodger " 1944 starring Laird Cregar and Linda Darnell . Jack Palance , ( Slade ) " Batman " , 89 , with his face , would almost tell everyone he was Jack the Ripper . This 1953 version was poorly directed and the entire picture was a very low budget film . If it was not for Jack Palance and a few veteran actors , this version who have fallen completely on its face . Constance Smith , ( Lily Bonner ) looked very attractive and gave some spark to this film and even excited Jack the Ripper so much , he wanted to run away with Lily and stop all his naughty killings . I got so tired of seeing Slad burning so many clothes and stinking up the house , it made me start to cough and laugh at the same time . This is Not The Best Ripper FIlm |

418,026 | 663,392 | 57,078 | 7 | Lot of Whipping & Stabbing | This is a very good early film with Christopher Lee who portrays in this film a very evil man who loves to cause troubles an simply enjoys giving one particular young pretty woman a whipping on her back after tearing off her blouse . This whipping goes on and on and then they manage to make love right after she is almost beaten to death . This woman who is getting all the beatings is a newly wed to another man however , she did know Christopher Lee from her past and liked his rough and horrible way of making love . This is a very good Christopher Lee classic where he is not really the star of the film , but manages to take complete control of almost every situation right to the bitter ending . The beatings get boring after awhile and it is really too drawn out , but lets remember it was 1963 and there really was no sexy scenes at all , only BEATINGS ! |
416,585 | 663,392 | 60,862 | 7 | Jack Palance & Claudia Cardenale Were HOT | This is truly a great Classic Western film with plenty of great veteran actors .

It was not too long that he decided to marry her and completely change her life and give her more security . However , her father had a very serious drinking problem and was convinced by a friend of his to abducted his daughter and bring her into the entertainment business or prostitution . This story has many twists and turns and is a great film about race and there are plenty of mixed emotions in 1927 with relationships between Black & White people .

In this picture Bruce Pearson , ( DeNiro ) plays the role of a simple minded catcher who was made fun of by all of the team players except one guy , Henry Wiggen , ( Michael Moriarty ) who stood by Bruce and gave him all the moral support and good advice to deal with his situation . It seems when the players got off of Bruce's back , he was able to hit home runs and had more pep as a catcher . Henry brings Bruce to the Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis and there was bad news for poor Bruce . Henry agreed not to tell anyone about the findings at the clinic and this is when the story gets funny at times and it hits a rather sad note . Entertaining film and great to see DeNiro just starting a great career on the silver screen . Enjoy |
416,770 | 663,392 | 35,440 | 7 | A Film with Deep Meanings | Enjoyed this film from 1942 which I have never seen over the years and it captured my attention from the beginning to the very end . It concerns an anti-fascist journalist named David Charleston , ( Michael Redgrave ) who is a reporter for a newspaper in Canada and he has traveled in Europe and has discovered that Hitler is starting trouble in Germany and there is reason to believe that Japan is also starting problems in China .

David writes many books trying to tell the world that they are in big trouble and then decides to retire to a lighthouse in Michigan on the Great Lakes . A good friend of David , named Streeter , ( James Mason ) visits David at the lighthouse and wants to find out why David never cashes his pay checks for months .

417,576 | 663,392 | 66,001 | 7 | Great film to Enjoy | This is a film that I had seemed to overlook and was very glad to have found a copy . The story is written by John Le Carre , who has written many espionage books and in this picture , Leiser , ( Christopher Jones ) plays the role of a Polish defector promised political asylum in England . However , he has to go back behind the Iron Curtain to investigate the possibilities that East Germany is building a rocket in violation of a disarmament pack .

416,521 | 663,392 | 39,783 | 7 | Janet Leigh's First Film | Discovered this Classic Film from 1947 playing on TCM and was very curious about just what this story would present and who was starring in this picture . It was surprising to see Van Johnson in the starring role as Henry Carson and veteran character actor Thomas Mitchell , ( Gill MacBean . Janet Leigh was so young looking I hardly recognized her playing the role as a daughter to Gill MacBean , named Lessy Anne MacBean . This was the very first picture that Janet Leigh appeared in and she was very polished and professional even in her first important role of her career . The story deals with the ending of the Civil-War between the North and South and there were strong feelings still among the people in the South and Northerner's who traveled in their communities . Gill MacBean was not very thrilled about having Henry Carson getting too close to his daughter in a romantic way of speaking . Henry Carson wanted to establish a school in the local community and finding acceptance was very difficult for him to establish . There was a very deep secret that Henry Carson kept to himself about their son who was killed in the Civil War . There is Comedy , Drama and Romance and plenty of outstanding acting in this great Classic Film , Enjoy . |
416,650 | 663,392 | 47,377 | 7 | Kim Novak & Dorothy Malone were Great | Enjoyed this great classic film from 1954 starring Fred MacMurray , ( Paul Sheridan ) who is a detective and gets involved with Lona McLane , ( Kim Novak ) who is connected with a bank robber and Lona cons Paul to kill her boyfriend so they can take the money for themselves . The only problem is that Paul Sheridan is assigned to watch Lona on a stake out with other detectives and have her apartment watched and her telephone wires tapped . There are many problems that face Paul and Lona and one of Paul's detective friends gets involved with a girl named Ann Stewart , ( Dorothy Malone ) who lives in the same apartment house as Lona and lives down the hall .

Don't miss this Classic it is great with outstanding acting and a great cast of actors . Enjoy . |
416,831 | 663,392 | 43,041 | 7 | Horrors of War ! | Always enjoyed the great acting of Claudette Colbert , ( Tomorrrow Is Forever " , ' 46 and especially her role in this picture as Agnes Keith , who is captured along with her husband and son in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp during WW II and towards its Victory . This film clearly shows how people in our past Wars were treated by their captives during this terrible time in American History . Agnes Keith is a successful writer and is admired by a Japanese Colonel who enjoyed her writings and even asks her for an autographed copy of her books . However , once the Colonel turns his back , all Hell breaks loose . Hollywood did a great job of trying to show the American Public what horrors went on in this Prisoner Camp and others during the entire war in the Pacific , which is quite mildly accomplished . War creates monsters out of many people and the opportunity to seek power over other human beings is an on going struggle in this world . After viewing this picture I became very interested in this subject and read , " The Rape of Nanking " , by Iris Chang . This is definitely a great film that should be view by many generations in the future . |
416,933 | 663,392 | 452,573 | 7 | Disappointing | Thought this film was going to be interesting and quickly found out it was nothing that I have not heard before about missing planes , ships and people being lost completely in the Bermuda Triangle . The actors held this picture together with great acting by Sam Neil , Eric Stoltz and Bruce Davison . The TV Series of this story bomb out after a few showings and this film goes around and around in circles and you quickly lose track of just what the film is really about . The ending will leave you high and dry and you will feel like the story just came to a complete ending before it should have . Don't waste your time on this film , it was a big disappointment to me . |
418,153 | 663,392 | 48,790 | 7 | Classic 1955 Film | This film held my interest from the very beginning to the very end . The cast was comprised of all great veteran actors of the silver screen . The story is about a small Western town with everyday living people who are having trouble with their marriages and at the same time some bandits decide to hold up the local bank and are busy at work making their plans . In many ways , the town people can be glad a bank was held up which changed the lives of many people who were having problems . An Amish family was depicted in this film and the bandits even broke them away from their customs of living . This is a very well written story and a top cast of actors who have made this a gem of a picture to watch and Enjoy . |
416,583 | 663,392 | 29,648 | 7 | Lorre was Outstanding | Enjoyed this 1937 film starring Peter Lorre as Mr . Kentaro Moto who is an Interpole Detective and also an adventurer . Mr . Moto is assigned to track down some very rare Chinese scrolls or Treasure Maps which will lead to the secret treasure of Genghis Khan worth over 10 Million Dollars . There are many women and men looking for these maps and they need all seven of them in order to solve the mystery as to just where the Genghis Khan fortune is hidden . John Carradine gives a great supporting role as a Peniera , Antique Dealer who is a very shady character and tries to sell people phony antiques at very high prices . Peter Lorre tried to play a Chinese Detective , but I am afraid his voice and rolling hard boiled eyes gives him away . This is a very entertaining film and if you like Peter Lorre , you will love this Moto Series . Enjoy . |
416,382 | 663,392 | 60,287 | 7 | James Coburn was Outstanding | This film deals with a con-man named Eli Kotch , ( James Coburn ) who just gets out of prison and decides to lay out his ground work for a large bank robbery at the Los Angeles , California airport . Eli also knows that a Russian Prime Minister will be visiting Los Angeles and flying into the same airport which will distract the police force away from a bank holdup . Eli also meets up with a very sexy blonde named Inger Knudson , ( Camilla Spary ) who works for very rich people and cons her into doing all kinds of things , Eli even marries her with a fake ID . There is plenty of comedy and some tense moments in a police station . You will never be able to figure out how this picture will end . It will definitely surprise you . Enjoy . |
416,263 | 663,392 | 94,715 | 7 | Midler & Hershey Were Great Together | Was not very certain if I really wanted to view this film , some times Midler can be way out in left field . However , in this film Bette Midler , ( CC Bloom ) , " That Old Feeling " , ' 97 plays a very self-centered person who will stop at nothing to get what she wants and if it is a career on the stage , just forget about love or a husband and children . Barbara Hershey , ( Hillary ) , " Riding the Bullet " , ' 04 , is a childhood friend of CC Bloom and in some ways they help each other , even though they are complete opposites . There is plenty of comedy , lots of fighting , and more drama than you can handle . Midler sings outstanding songs we all know by heart and it is a very entertaining film , but very very SAD ! |
417,313 | 663,392 | 64,072 | 7 | Gem of a Film | If you love to see old planes of the German's and British , this is the film for you . There is excellent photography and you actually see how the German's bombed London and destroyed many parts of the city and also how people ran to the air-raid shelters . There is a husband and wife who have joined the RAF and it clearly shows the problems of a married couple both serving in the same unit . There were many young British gals who joined up to serve their country and it showed the dramatic strain it had on all these very young girls . This is a great film because it shows how the British had to fight with the German's and the horrible bombings the German's did to the British people . |
417,911 | 663,392 | 377,800 | 7 | Depressing Film | This film starts out with Howard Spence , ( Sam Shepard ) who walks off the set of a Western he was starring in and no one can seem to find him which will cause a great deal of problems for the director and producer . Howard decides to visit his mother after not seeing her for 30 years , Eva Marie Saint plays the role as his mom and gave an outstanding performance . After visiting with his mother she tells Howard that he had a son from a women who came looking for him years ago and this puts an idea in Howard's head to visit the town where she lives . Howard seems to go around in circles with a young girl who follows him everywhere he goes and she carries an urn with her mother's ashes . There is one scene where Howard just sits on a couch which has been thrown out in the street for almost 24 hours while the camera views him for a long long time . The reason this film is depressing is the fact that Howard has abandoned his son and wife and he has to face his past sins and mistakes . The moral of this story is simply , " What you Reap , You Sow " . Strange film , but down to earth . |
417,320 | 663,392 | 51,489 | 7 | Loggia was Outstanding | Enjoyed this 1958 film dealing with a serial cop killer on the loose in New York City and a horrible heat wave which has most of actors always complaining about the heat . Robert Loggia ( Detective Steve Carelli ) is a very dedicated policeman and he works with Teddy Franklin , ( Ellen Parker ) who is an attractive gal . Alice Maguire , ( Shirley Ballard ) plays the role as a very sexy wife to Detective Mike Maguire , ( Gerald O'Loughlin ) but Alice is getting tired of being married to a cop and she wants her husband to quit because of all the cops being killed by a mad man throughout the City of New York . There are some sexy scenes which were considered very naughty to see a girl naked with a towel wrapped around her and a few other scenes with girls showing plenty of their legs . This is a great mystery and very good acting by Robert Loggia . Enjoy . |
417,812 | 663,392 | 55,304 | 7 | Plenty of Cobwebs & Secret Passages | This was one of Roger Corman's Horror films that was very well produced and had lots of suspense . John Kerr , ( Francis ) visits a very strange Castle that is occupied by Nicholas / Sebastian Medina , ( Vincent Price ) and proceeds with a horse and carriage . However , the coachman refuses to go very close to the castle and forces him to walk in order to reach this Castle above a rocky coast and sea . Francis is wanting to visit this Castle and meet up with Nicholas Medina who was married to his sister who had recently died and he had no explanation for her death . Francis did not waste very much time in getting some answers he wanted to know and he was told all kinds of things , but did not believe Nicholas stories . Nicholas had a sister who was visiting him named , Elizabeth , ( Barbara Steele ) who was very attractive and Francis liked her and she tried to help Francis find out some answers to how his sister had passed away . There are many secret panels that open and close and people are running from one room to another and then there is the Pit and the Pendulum . |
418,123 | 663,392 | 36,341 | 7 | The Lord's Prayer Was Even Quoted in this Film ! | Whenever a picture is produced by Val Lewton , you know it will be something different and mysterious . Val had to work on a shoe string budget in making this film , which he was very skilled at doing . He produced " The Body Snatcher " , ' 45 and many other weird pictures , " Cat Woman " , etc etc . However , all the props and doors on hotels and subways looked like plywood and just bounced around trying to close . Tom Conway , ( Dr . Louis Judd ) , " The Falcon's Brother " , 42 , was a head shrink in this picture an gave a great supporting role . Jean Gibson , ( Jacqueline Gibson ) , " The Falcon in Danger " , ' 43 , was a rather mixed up gal who got involved with some organization that like to look into the dark world of Spirits and turned up missing . Kim Hunter , ( Mary Gibson ) , " A Streetcar Named Desire " , ' 51 , was Jacqueline's sister and decided to leave a school for young girls and traveled to NYC in order to find out just where her sister wound up . There are many people that Mary Gibson ran into trying to find her sister and many older men interested in her youth . Doctor Louis Judd , surprised me when he quoted a passage from the Lord's Prayer in order to slap down the doubting of an evil minded poor soul . You will find the ending rather hard to believe . Enjoy ! |
417,034 | 663,392 | 412,798 | 7 | Scary Film | This film will give chills up and down your spine not because of horror or blood shed , but just the simple location in Wales , UK and a mysterious cottage and naturally , a Light House . Demi Moore , ( Rachel Carlson ) , a successful author of mystery novels wants to have a different location away from everyone and finds this very spiritual place , or you could say a purgatory for the living dead . Rachel encounters Henry Ian Cusick , ( Brian ) , " The Gospel of John " , ' 03 who seems to know a great deal about the Light House and its history and has some fun burying a Mother-0f Pearl sea shell in the sand as a symbol of lasting love . There are many twists and turns in this film and it is very well produced and directed . I must say , I have never seen Demi Moore looking so young and very sexy . Great entertaining film , enjoy . |
416,259 | 663,392 | 209,163 | 7 | Great Entertaining Film | This is a film full of action , romance , and horrible situations you can only experience in nightmares or your greatest fears . There are bits of comedy with a small boy who manages to get himself deeply involved with a Scorpion bracelet and fits in quite well with this thriller of a story . Brendon Fraser , ( Rich ) sort of plays second fiddle to Rachel Weisz , ( Evelyn ) who seems to handle the Scorpion King with no problems . If you hate looking at scorpions , you will definitely have your share and some might be larger than you plan to deal with in this film . Excellent production but rather too long and drawn out at times , but worth viewing . |
416,364 | 663,392 | 29,588 | 7 | Cagney was Outstanding | James Cagney got tired of film studios wanting him to make gangster films and typecasting him , so he went to Grand National Pictures and made this film with a Independent film maker . In this picture Caqney plays the role as Terry Rooney a band leader who has a great show in Manhattan with a great singer , Rita Wyatt , ( Evelyn Daw ) and there is plenty of comedy and great dancing routines throughout the show . Terry is very well liked as well as his singer Rita . Hollywood becomes interested in Terry and Bennett Regan , ( Gene Lockhart ) is a Hollywood director who wants to give Terry a contact to make a picture . Terry finds it hard to break into the Hollywood scheme of things and gets down in the dumps about his performances . Little does Terry realize that the producers and directors all like Terry and feel he is doing a great job , but Bennett Regan does not want to tell him that in order to keep him from getting a big head on his shoulders . Great Cagney film with outstanding dance routines . |
416,848 | 663,392 | 113,870 | 7 | Not Exactly the True Story | This was a very entertaining film about the horrible treatment of a certain prisoner at Alcatraz named Henri Young who robbed a store for five dollars ( $5 . 00 ) and was sent to prison . Henri Young was played by Kevin Bacon who did a fantastic job of acting and captured your attention through out the film . There were many scenes filmed on the Island of Alcatraz and some old time footage of the first time Warden of Alcatraz , James R . Johnston . Christian Slater , ( James Stamphill ) was the lawyer assigned for Henri Young's defense , who had a hard job trying to rehabilitate his client so he could stand trial and even speak a few words . Young was in such bad shape mentally from being put into the solitary confinement for three ( 3 ) years , he was like an animal instead of a human being . This Hollywood version is not all completely true about Henri Young , he really had a long history of crime and mental problems . However , this film is very entertaining and Kevin Bacon put his heart and soul into this role . Enjoy . |

This picture is really called " The Scar " and was originally not a very success at the box office in 1948 , in later years , it has become a gem of a classic film . Enjoy . |
416,393 | 663,392 | 187,738 | 7 | Bathing in Blood | Enjoyed Blade 2 more than the first version , there seemed to be plenty of action between vampires trying to make peace among each other in order to get the real Blood Suckers . Wesley Snipes , ( Blade ) was kept busy almost every minute through out the film and had more tricks and special devices in order to bring plenty of light into the eyes of the blood suckers . Blade even takes a nice bath in a deep pool of thick blood which made me stay away from tomato juice for my entire life . Kris Kristofferson , ( Abraham Whistler ) acted at first like a very old man who just came out of a coma and then he started to use his brain power and helped Blade accomplish some of his tasks . There was very little time for any real sex in the film , I guess that all came into play after the Mission was completely accomplished . |
416,993 | 663,392 | 29,395 | 7 | Great Harlow Comedy | Never viewed this Jean Harlow film where she stars as a widow with the name , Crystal Wetherby and Robert Taylor , ( Raymond Dabney ) .

Raymond Dabney is hired by a sheriff to collect the funds owed him and requires that Raymond stay in Crystal's home until the debt is paid .

417,737 | 663,392 | 374,102 | 7 | Very Dramatic & Scary | This is something of a nightmare of a film where a husband and wife plan on a much needed vacation and simply stop their hectic business life and decided to get away from everything and enjoy the tropics . Blanchard Ryan , ( Susan ) , " Bun Bun " , ' 03 , plays the wife who goes to bed naked and then immediately gets tired and denies her husband any love making which is a big tease and a very uncomfortable feeling to the husbands body . The husband is Daniel Travis , ( Daniel ) , " Thank You For Smoking " , ' 05 , decides that their relationship is sort of going on the rocks , scuba diving sounds like a good idea for the both of them . This couple experiences one of the most horrible situations you could ever want to find yourself , sharks bumping up against you , jelly fish stinging you and your eyes just looking at Walls and Walls of ocean water . Enjoy |
417,195 | 663,392 | 25,532 | 7 | Talented Classic Actors | Edna May Oliver , ( Hildegarde Withers ) was a fantastic actress and her supporting actor was also a great actor , James Gleason , ( Inspector Oscar Piper ) . In this film Hildegarde investigates a murder in a New York City School which involved a very pretty young teacher who was involved in some very dark secrets . There is a blackboard that plays a very important role in this murder mystery which was musical notes placed on a C staff which reveal an important clue to the person who committed this murder . Edna May Oliver and James Gleason give an outstanding performance with very quick wit of words between each other and it is also very comical and funny to watch two great veterans doing what just comes very natural for both of them . Don't miss this great film Classic from 1934 . |
416,094 | 663,392 | 335,563 | 7 | Holmes Met His Doom | This is a great film about Porno Star John Homes , played by Val Kilmar , " Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'05 , who gave a great performance portraying the Screw King of all time and how he eventually got screwed himself . Apparently , after John Holmes burned out , and got tired of measuring his 14 inch pride and joy , he went down into the horrible depths of drugs and more drugs . Lisa Kudrow , ( Sharon Holmes ) , " Marci X " , ' 03 gave a great supporting role as John's wife , who deep down really loved him , but John just used her like everyone else he came into contact . Christina Applegate " Tilt-A-Whirl " , ' 05 gave a good supporting role along with a few other stars like Carrie Fisher . The moral of this story is you will always " REAP WHAT YOU SOW " . |
418,158 | 663,392 | 381,842 | 7 | Tom Selleck was Great | Enjoyed this picture which dealt with a farmer , Stephen Landis , ( Tom Selleck ) who lives with his wife and his wife's daughter .

418,041 | 663,392 | 44,781 | 7 | Young Looking Janet Leigh | Since Janet Leigh is one of my favorite movie stars from the past , I really enjoyed this 1952 film where she stars as Lucy Duncan , a lawyer who had to work her way through some rough times in order to become a lawyer . Lucy has a boyfriend who is a civil engineer and makes eight-five dollars a week and Lucy finds out she has a new client who is willing to pay her fifty dollars a week and between the two of their salaries , they would be able to get hitched . The client Lucy has is Judge Samuel Coulter , ( Lewis Stone ) who wants Lucy to have a sort of power of attorney over the trust fund of Mark Maclene IV who is very wealthy and simply spends his money like water on all kinds of gals , giving them jewelry , furs and the list goes on and on . Lucy takes control and takes back all the items that Mark purchased and makes him live on fifty dollars a week , plus 50 cents for lunch . Lucy even shows Mark an auto mat where he can get his lunch for a quarter and takes him on a Staten Island Ferry ride for only 5 cents one way . Janet Leigh was twenty-five when she made this picture and was recently married to Tony Curtis . Great film to view , Enjoy . |

416,183 | 663,392 | 64,273 | 7 | A Western Awaiting a Tornado | This is a very unusual Western Film which has more scenes in the dark with a great deal of difficulty in seeing just what is going on . However , there is a tornado which is expected and you do hear all kinds of high winds .

418,035 | 663,392 | 324,554 | 7 | Great Love Story | This film had a great film location in Chicago and the photography was outstanding . Josh Hartnett , ( Matthew ) is an advertising executive and engaged to his bosses daughter and they plan to get married in the near future . However , Matthew one day finds himself looking at girl from a distance and believes she is a girl he was romantically involved with and is still in love with her .

417,027 | 663,392 | 67,333 | 7 | Great Classic Western | If you like Westerns , this is one of the best , only because of the great actors , especially , Burt Lancaster . Lancaster , ( Bannock Jered ) , " Tough Guys " , ' 86 , plays a Marshall out to hunt down several men who killed an older man in his hometown . Robert Duvall , ( Vernon Adam ) , The Detective " , ' 68 , is one of the men he is looking for and is associated with Lee J .

Robert Ryan , ( Marshall Cotton ) , " The Love Machine " , ' 71 , is also the local Sheriff and has become soft as a lawman , because Vincent Bronson has bought him off to see his ways . There is a great deal of realism through out the entire picture and even a small amount of love making and quick romance . Oh , I forgot to mention the fact that Bannock Jered played on a wooden FLUTE , but it really sounded like an antique HAYNES FLUTE being played ! WOW |
418,092 | 663,392 | 29,347 | 7 | Great 1937 Classic | Enjoyed viewing this great film classic from 1937 and enjoying a long forgotten actress , Deanna Durbin , ( Patsy Cardwell ) , " For the Love of Mary " . Patsy plays a very talented young girl who has a fantastic voice and a father who is an unemployed musician played by Adolphe Menjou , ( John Cardwell ) , " Bundle of Joy " .

418,172 | 663,392 | 55,718 | 7 | Sad Looking Alan Ladd | It was not very long into viewing this film that Alan Ladd was at the end of his career in Hollywood , his problem with Alcohol were starting to get the best of him in his eyes and face and even makeup could not hide the demon's he was facing in real life . Walt Sherill , ( Ladd ) plays the role of an aerospace engineer and very successful and married to his wife , Tracey Sherill , ( Dolores Dorn ) in a very nice home in the suburbs .

416,910 | 663,392 | 16,640 | 7 | Great Silent Film | This silent film kept my interest from the very beginning to the end and this was the first time I was able to view this film with Boris Karloff playing the role as a Mesmerist who had great powers of elevating people and being able to read the minds of guilty men who commit crimes . This story mainly deals with Lionel Barrymore , ( Mathias ) playing the role as an innkeeper who wants to become the mayor of his small town and is always giving free drinks to most of his customers or loaning money to them . However , Mathias is deeply in debt to a man who threatens to take his inn away from him and force him and his family into the street .

Holden plays the role as a criminal named Al Walker who really enjoys killing people and is loved and adored by Betty played by Nina Foch who was very young and attractive . Lee J . Cobb , ( Dr . Andrew Collins ) works for the police department as a psychiatrist and tries to help men from continually living in their world of crime .

This is a very unusual film that seems to have been forgotten and put on the shelf . |
417,996 | 663,392 | 183,505 | 7 | Jim Carrey Was Great | Have not watched very many films of Jim Carrey and this particular film had me laughing through out the entire film .

It seems that after their first , second and third son was born that the marriage went down hill for some odd reason .

417,185 | 663,392 | 44,557 | 7 | Monroe Looked Her Very Best | Marilyn Monroe , ( Nell Forbes ) " Misfits " was exceptionally good looking and a very nice figure to go along with all her other assets . There is an interesting scene in the film where Nell stands in front of window in a hotel room and flirts and teases Richard Widmark , ( Jed Towers ) , " Kiss of Death " who is standing in another room in the same hotel and decides to join her for a drink and a jump in the sack . Nell shows great affection towards Jed and then all of a sudden things start to just plain CRAZY . Elisha Cook , Jr . ( Eddie Forbes ) , " I Wake Up Screaming " joins the loony hotel room and winds up getting knock on the head and locked in a closet . Marilyn Monroe did an outstanding performance , one of her very best , even though this was a low budget film , but it did show the great talents of Marilyn and how great she could have become if she had not been exploited so very much by Hollywood . A must see film from 1952 , Enjoy . |
416,515 | 663,392 | 60,086 | 7 | Funny & Sad | Excellent picture , great comedy , outstanding performance and out of the world great music which can be appreciated from generation to generation . Michael Caine , ( Alfie Elkins ) " Dessed to Kill " played the role of a love'm and leave'm sort of a playboy and a rather hateful and likable guy despite all his faults . Shelly Winters , ( Ruby ) plays the role of a rich older gal with a nice full figure who manages to capture Alfie's attention and draws him back to her time and again to her flat in London . This film shows that their is a Price Tag everyone has to pay for their decisions in life and taking the life of a human being will leave a scar on your soul you will never get rid of . Enjoyable , but rather sad film which has a deep moral story to tell . |
416,552 | 663,392 | 48,975 | 7 | Religious Film | This film completely surprised me the way it started out with various people all planning to take a trip on a plane , there is an old couple , a prisoner , Vasquel , ( Rod Steiger ) and a fallen lady Rena , ( Anita Ekberg ) . There is even a little boy who is being cared for by a mobster who decides the last minute to catch this same plane . The pilot of this plane is Bill Lonagan , ( Robert Ryan ) who is a veteran pilot but is also a heavy drinker . This plane crashes into a very thick jungle where head hunters occupy this territory which most of the people have not been told about this fact . All of a sudden , the little boy asks everyone to say the " Lord's Prayer " and after this , Vasquel turns religious and many people seem to change their thinking and the way they treat each other . Of course , there is evil vs . good among some of these people and this story goes into a completely different direction . |

416,984 | 663,392 | 51,406 | 7 | Kim Extremely Beautiful | Have not seen this 1958 film in a very long time and greatly enjoyed Kim Novak playing the role as Gil Holroyd who is an actual witch and has an aunt named Queenie Holroyd who is also a witch and Gillian also has a brother warlock named Nick played by Jack Lemmon .

417,380 | 663,392 | 82,764 | 7 | Kathryn Harrold Steals the Screen ! | Although I like Albert Brooks , ( Robert Cole ) , " The Muse " , ' 99 , and his great acting skills . Albert seems to have over acted his role as a frustrated film editor or he needed to visit a doctor for new brain cells . He starts out the film having dinner with Kathryn Harrold ( Mary Harvard ) , " MacGruder & Loud " , ' 85 TV Series , and a big argument starts out between the two of them , all because Robert thinks they should break up their relationship . It seems they have nothing in common but SEX . However , Robert and Kathryn make up and Kathryn gives a quick nude performance in bed . The director wanted this nude scene in order to keep the audiences from getting bored ! Kathryn Harrold helped put some sort of spark in the film and of course Albert Brooks did a great job of making Robert Cole the nuttiest person in the world ! I got a headache just listening to Robert Cole complain on and on to his co-worker , another film splicer ! ! ! |
417,712 | 663,392 | 55,774 | 7 | A Hollywood Story | This was a very entertaining film about the man who was a crook and obtained his freedom when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross . Anthony Quinn , ( Barabbas ) gave an outstanding performance and the role suited him perfectly . The story showed how Barabbas suffered greatly after his freedom and wound up in salt mines doing the worst kind of work and then having to fight as a gladiator against a powerful threat , Jack Palance , ( Tovald ) who gave an outstanding supporting role . This is a good film to show around the Easter season , however , this is pure fiction about the life of Barabbas and Hollywood present a good film along with the great actor Anthony Quinn . |
418,163 | 663,392 | 40,665 | 7 | Film Full of Great Actors | This is truly a great Musical Classic from 1948 with a cast of veteran actors and all at the height of their careers .

416,666 | 663,392 | 120,877 | 7 | Capturing Vampire's is Different | Found this vampire film quite interesting and enjoyable .

416,688 | 663,392 | 120,890 | 7 | There Are Many Endings ! | Found this film interesting only because you never knew just how this picture was going to end and who was going to out smart each other . Matt Dillon , ( Sam Lombardo ) , " Crash " , ' 04 played a teacher who was adored by both males and mostly females . Denise Richards , " Elvis Has Left the Building " , 04 plays a very hot sexy looking teenager who has the real hots for Sam Lombardo along with Theresa Russell , ( Sandra Van Ryan ) , " Black Widow " , ' 87 , her mother . Kevin Bacon , ( Sgt . Ray Duquette ) , " Loverboy " , ' 05 , does not like Sam Lombardo and is always keeping an eye on him and his activities . This picture will lead you down many blind alley's and you will never be able to figure out this picture , unless someone tells you and SPOILS IT ! |
