417,012 | 663,392 | 156,820 | 7 | Years were Hard on Ekberg | Enjoyed this film which had fantastic realistic scenes of drama , murder and both male and female nudity along with plenty of clowns and circus acts . This film is about Jean-Yves Thual , ( Lucien L'Hotte ) who works in a law office and gets involved with a rich older lady , Paola Bendoni , ( Anita Ekberg ) and eventually goes to bed with her and enjoys his sexual romance . However , Lucien L'Hotte really loves a very young girl in the circus and hopes someday to join her in the circus and have a great act together . There is a scene where Lucien jumps up on the desk of his boss in the law firm and proceeds to do a dump on his desk . There is lots of laughs along with a very entertaining film which is rather drawn out and very very slow . Enjoy |
416,310 | 663,392 | 29,118 | 7 | Great Gem of a Classic Film | This 1937 film gave me a big surprise with the great acting of Edward G . Robinson , ( Joe Krozac ) who plays the role as a big time gangster who is a hard cold killer and will not let anyone get in his way in order to get just what he wants . However , Joe Krozac gets himself in trouble just like Al Capone with falling behind in his income tax and is sent to Alcatraz prison for ten years on the " Rock " . Joe Krozac is married to a woman named Talya Krozac , ( Rose Stradner ) who is a foreign lady who does not understand English very well , but she loves Joe and gives him a baby boy just as Joe goes into Alcatraz . A man named Paul North , Sr . , ( James Stewart ) who is a newspaper reporter who becomes involved with Talya while Joe Krozac is in prison and they both get married and raise Joe Krozac's young son . This story has many twists and turns and it has many surprises which you will never be able to figure out unless you view this film . Enjoy . |
416,458 | 663,392 | 36,777 | 7 | Great Pearl S . Buck Film | Enjoyed the great acting by the entire cast and especially Katharine Hepburn , who plays the role as Jade Tan who lives with her family on a farm and everything is very peaceful and happy for years . However , when the Japanese evade China these peaceful times turn into a complete disaster for the farming community . Walter Houston , ( Ling Tan ) plays the role as father and his wife Ling Tan , ( Aline MacMahan ) both give great supporting roles . Akim Tamiroff , ( Lu Lien ) becomes friends with the Japanese and is really a traitor to his Chinese family . The Japanese treated the people very poorly and their was rape and constant killing of innocent people . This story reminded me of a book entitled , " The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang " which talks about the horrors that Japanese soldiers performed against innocent Chinese people which is told in this picture . |
417,190 | 663,392 | 40,597 | 7 | Great 1948 Film | This was a very innocent sweet fantasy about a man who goes fishing and catches a rather different kind of under water creature , a Mermaid hook line and sinker . There is plenty of comedy , drama and romance . This man and son grew very fond of this Mermaid and this story will keep your interest from beginning to the very end . The ending is rather sad , but since this film is a sort of Fish story , nature had to take its course . There was quite a few other recent films about a Mermaid namely : " SPLASH " 1984 with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah and also a very early version in 1931 and a TV showing of " Splash " 1994 . I am quite sure there will always be a story concerning a Mermaid in generation's to come . Enjoy |
417,875 | 663,392 | 101,776 | 7 | Guess WHO ? | Jennifer Rubin , ( Allie Holton ) , " Road Kill " , ' 99 , gave a great performance as a very pretty innocent looking young gal , who is teaching in a Catholic School and simply loves her job and all the children . However , there is a photographer named Peter Outerbridge , ( Dylan Wiatt ) , " Land of the Dead " , ' 05 , who is taking pictures of Allie and finds her very interesting and attractive to even become a model . Dylan contacts Sally Kellerman , ( Evelyn Ash ) , " Open House " , ' 04 who is the boss of a large model agency ; Evelyn becomes interested in Allie in more ways than one . Allie seems to prefer men and woman to love and enjoy and desires to make Allie into an International Fashion Model . This film will keep you in suspense and it is not easy to find out who the naughty person turns out be . |
416,429 | 663,392 | 55,884 | 7 | No Romance in this Film | Enjoyed the great acting by Alex Guiness , ( Captain Crawford ) and Dick Bogarde , ( Lt . Scott Padget ) who both sailed together on a ship where they practiced shanghiling when they were in port and just plain grabbed all civilian men and brought them aboard their ship and made sailors of them . All these men had to do very undesirable jobs on the ships and many of them rebelled against the military officers in charge of the ship . Captain Crawford just so happened to have his son aboard the ship who was being mistreated by his officers and other men who were forced to serve aboard the ship were whipped and beaten regularly for rebelling and refusing to take orders Captain Crawford was not aware of the cruelty that was inflicted on his men and then there started to become rumors about a mutiny aboard the ship . Great story about the old Navy days on British ships that sailed the ocean . |
416,942 | 663,392 | 101,761 | 7 | Excellent Film | If anyone did not know anything about Jim Morrison and his rise to fame as a great Rock " N " Roll performer , Director Oliver Stone gave one fantastic biography in this film . Jim Morrison was played by Val Kilmer who gave a very outstanding performance who put his heart and soul into this role along with Meg Ryan , ( Pamela Courson ) who is a faithful young girl who fell in love with Jim after he walked into her bedroom and broke up her marriage . Pamela stayed with Jim through out his entire career from 1960 until his death in the 70's . There is nothing left for your imagination , plenty of female nudity , sex , drugs and indecent exposure by Jim Morrison on the stage of one of his rock band concerts which caused great commotion and put Jim Morrison into a court of law with jail sentences . Great film about a performer who had a great message but lost his way by using drugs and booze . |
417,410 | 663,392 | 48,350 | 7 | Great Film Classic | If you liked Robert Taylor , ( Bushrod Gentry ) in many of his films , you will enjoy this comedy with Eleanor Parker , ( Mary Stuart Cheme ) . This film opens up with Bushrod traveling through the woods of Kentucky as a hunter to just sold $400 . 00 worth of furs at a trading post and the young girl at the post had her eyes on Bushrod for marriage , but this was not what Bushrod wanted in his life for a long time to come . Bushrod runs into an Indian who attacks Mary Stuart Cheme , and saves her from being scalped and raped . It was from that moment on that Mary Stuart was determined to have this man as her husband . There is plenty of comedy and Victor McLaglen , ( Mr . Cadmus Cheme ) gave a great supporting role along with many other famous actors . Enjoy . |
417,575 | 663,392 | 36,723 | 7 | Long Ago & Far Away | This is definitely an outstanding 1944 musical with great young stars and famous veteran actors under the direction of Charles Vidor . Rita Hayworth , ( Rusty Parker ) , " Charlie Chan in Egypt " , sang and danced with Gene Kelly , ( Danny McGuire ) , " Anchors Away " , Danny McGuire owned a night club in Brooklyn , N . Y . and was in love with Rusty Parker who was a dancer in his club along with Phil Silvers , ( Genius ) , " Coney Island " , who was the comedian in this picture and also worked and dance together with Danny , Rusty . Otto Kruger , ( John Coudair ) , " Duel in the Sun " played the role as a promoter of a cover girl magazine and decided Rusty Parker was going to be his top model . Jerome Kern's music is heard through out the entire picture and the song , " Long Ago & Far Away " is the theme music for this musical . This film was nominated for many awards and was a big hit at the box office during WW II which kept peoples minds off of the war that was going on at the time . Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly were instant hits and their career's exploded on the silver screen for many many years . Great Musical and a film you will not want to miss , this is truly a great Classic Film . Enjoy |
417,147 | 663,392 | 52,151 | 7 | Great Classic Actors | If you enjoy a good submarine picture that takes place during WW II with Japan in the Pacific Ocean , you will definitely enjoy this film . Clark Gable , ( Cmdr . ' Rick ' Richardson ) commander of a submarine a few years early in thewar encountered a very drastic defeat by the enemy and was placed behind a desk . It was not too long when Richardson decides he is going to see the top brass about commanding another submarine and it is granted . However , Burt Lancaster , ( Lt . Jim Bledsoe ) wants to be the commander and he is turned down and Rick Richardson wants him on his sub and of course , plenty of trouble starts among the crew who are all on the side of Lt . Jim Bledsoe . There is plenty of action and you will soon find out why the title of this film is Run Silent Run Deep . |
416,707 | 663,392 | 114,214 | 7 | Sharon & Gene were Outstanding Against a Big Clock | My favorite movie stars are Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman , so I knew this was probably going to be a good film to watch and it sure was a great different kind of Western . This story revolved around a small town which had been taken over by John Herod , ( Gene Hackman ) " Superman " who was an evil outlaw and was ruthless and cruel and controlled all the people in the town . Sharon Stone , ( Ellen / The Lady ) , " Bobby " played the role of a gal who could handle herself very well with men and was fast with the pistols , a Pistol Pack'n Mama who had her targets on John Herod for something he did to her while she was a child . Russell Crowe , ( Cort ) " A Good Year " , becomes friends with Ellen and they decided to team up against John Herod . Leonardo DiCaprio , ( Fee Herod / The Kid ) plays the role of John Herod's only son who is always trying to please his dad as a gunfighter , but is always being put down by his dad . There is plenty of action and the ending will take you by complete surprise . Don't miss this gem of a film back in 1995 when everyone looked young and great . Enjoy ! |
417,194 | 663,392 | 330,793 | 7 | Vengeance , Revenger & Plenty of Torture | John Travolta , ( Howard Saint ) played an entirely different role than I have ever seen him portray . He plays the role of a real underworld mob boss who loses his son and is bound and determined to find out just who is responsible for his loss . The guy he is looking for is Frank Castle / The Punisher ( Thomas Jane ) , Frank Castle was an FBI agent and had a very sweet and loving wife and also a young son who he rarely was able to spend time with because of his many assignments all over the globe . Frank decides he is going to retire and has a big party for a family reunion . It is from this point on in the film when things start to get real interesting and the film escalates into one big action filled film with all kinds of cruel hatred and murder after murder and beatings you will not be able to believe . This film had me glued to the TV Screen from beginning to the very end . If you have not seen this film , by all means get to see it soon . |
416,897 | 663,392 | 48,254 | 7 | Irene Kane & Jamie Smith Made this A Great Kubrick Film ! | Missed this great film of director Stanley Kubrick in 1955 . The black and white effect was perfect for this depressing story . However , it was enjoyable watching these two actors , Jamie Smith ( Dave Gordon ) , " Only Fools & Horses ' 81 TV Series " and Irene Kane ( Gloria Price ) " All That Jazz " ' 79 , look at each other through the windows of their one room apartments in the same building , dressing and undressing and looking very depressed and down in the dumps . Jamie was a down and out prizer fighter and Gloria was a dance for hire gal , who was down on her luck working along Broadway , NYC and being taken advantage of by the villian , Frank Silvera ( Vincent Rapallo ) " Valdez Is Coming " ' 71 " . Stanley Kubrick wanted this film to be a very realistic film about two people being drawn together by hard luck , therefore , he had these actors act just the way ordinary people would act in REAL LIFE , it makes it appear that they are both poor actors , which is far from the truth . It was great to see a man and a woman become drawn to each other and be able to try and cope with their horrible situations in life . This a great Classic film by Stanley Kubrick ! ! |
416,550 | 663,392 | 377,107 | 7 | Paltrow & Hopkins Were Great | Great story about a young girl who loved her father very much and followed in his footsteps in the world of mathematics in Chicago , Illinois . This girl is Catherine , ( Gwyneth Paltrow ) who learns that her father is mentally going down hill and she cares for him and goes to college at the same time . Robert is the name of her father , ( Anthony Hopkins ) who thinks he is writing a proof in mathematics , which is a step further in the mathematician field of science . After Robert dies , Catherine goes to pieces and worries that she will become mentally disturbed like her father and she pulls into herself and just stays at home . Eventually , Catherine's sister who lives in New York City intends to take her sister from her home and bring her into the New York City area . This is a very deep film with plenty of flashbacks , along with great acting between Paltrow & Hopkins . Enjoy . |
417,149 | 663,392 | 48,233 | 7 | Great Cast of Veteran Actors | Have not seen this film in years and enjoyed this story in which Glenn Ford , ( Jubal Troop ) is injured and falls onto a dirt road and is discovered by Ernest Borgnine , ( Shep Hogan ) and he takes him back to his ranch and in time offers him a job and then a full time position as his top ranch hand . This quick decision causes problems among the other ranch hands who have worked for Shep Hogan a very long time . Rod Steiger , ( Pinky Pinkum ) instantly resents Jubal Troop and suspects him of being a sheep herder and constantly tells him he smells like sheep poop . Valerie French ( Mae Hogan ) is a woman who likes to fool around with other men and has tried out most of the ranch hands and she instantly gets hot over Jubal Troop which starts another side to the story . |
416,727 | 663,392 | 63,647 | 7 | Susan George Red Hot | Great 1968 film which I have very much wanted to view over the years and it is very hard to obtain and when I was in England , I was able to view this film and enjoyed it greatly . Michael York , ( Peter Strange ) played the role as a London policeman who is being arrested in the opening scenes of this movie and then it flashes back to when he first joined the force . Detective Pierce , ( Jeremy Kemp ) is a detective who likes Peter Strange because he is a cop who goes strictly by the books . It is not too long when Peter meets up with a hot to trot Fred March , ( Susan George ) who is under the age of 16 years until one more month and she is out to seduce the apple of her eye , Peter . Peter meets her family who live in a big mansion and they immediately take a liking to him and this paves the way for Peter & Fred to make very warm and passionate love with plenty of nudity by Susan George . Susan was just starting out in films and this is one of her early films which I am glad I was able to view in Europe . If you like Susan George , don't miss this one ; the other film I want to see her in is : " Neat With Black Stockings " , 1968 . Enjoy . |
416,289 | 663,392 | 101,669 | 7 | Two People Meet & Fall In Love | Kenneth Branagh , ( Roman Strauss / Mike Church ) , " Warm Springs " , ' 05 TV , plays the role of a famous pianist who has reached the top of his career and is deeply in love with his wife . Emma Thompson , ( Grace / Margaret Strauss ) , " Nanny McPhee " , ' 05 , gives a great performance as his wife and everything seems like a normal , happy life together . All of a sudden the picture changes completely to a young lady who has amnesia and is helped by Mike Church , also played by Kenneth Branagh . Andy Garcia , ( Gray Baker ) plays the role of a reporter who is always eager for any gossip among the elite people in his community and gave a great supporting role . This picture has some spiritual implications , which some people might believe actually happen and maybe they do ; this will be up to you when you view this film . |
416,575 | 663,392 | 44,186 | 7 | Burt Lancaster's First Western | Enjoyed this great Classic 1951 film since Burt Lancaster was born and raised in New York City and since this was his first western film , he had to learn how to ride horses and took plenty of instructions from professionals . Burt plays the role as Owen Daybright who was adopted by a very rich cattle baron and he was very much loved . However , Lee Strobie , ( Robert Walker ) was the real son of the cattle baron and he was spoiled rotten and a big trouble maker . Owen always protects him from trouble and fought his battles whenever they occurred .

416,355 | 663,392 | 51,773 | 7 | Great Entertaining Film | In this film Cary Grant , ( Philip Adams ) plays the role as a diplomat who travels from London to Paris and meets up with Anna Kalman , ( Ingrid Bergman ) , who is an accomplished and successful actress and well known .

This pearl necklace is stolen and Police Inspector Faraday , ( Richard Lane ) suspects Boston Blackie of stealing these pearls . There is the usual run around with all kinds of suspicious characters who claim to be innocent and still Inspector Faraday feels that Boston Blackie is responsible for this crime . Doris Bradley , ( June Vincent ) plays the role as a very pretty blonde who puts charm to her supporting role . This is one of the better Boston Blackie films . |
416,973 | 663,392 | 110,265 | 7 | This Film Becomes a WAR | The film opens up with Eric Stoltz ( Zed ) , " Hello " , ' 05 flying to Paris , France and gets into a cab and the cab driver starts up a conversation and starts speaking in French to Zed , who soon finds out he is American and does not speak French .

You will be quite surprise what happens as the film progresses . Enjoy |
417,440 | 663,392 | 316,356 | 7 | Realistic Western | The actors made this Western very realistic in the situations that people faced trying to move cattle from one place to another without the railroad . There was always the mayor of small towns who had power among the local people and they hated cattlemen who grazed their stock on their property . This is a story about a group of men who just wanted to travel with their animals from point A to B and ran into all kinds of horrible problems . Robert Duvall , ( Boss Spearman ) was a very wise cattleman who was very calm about situations that would arise on a daily basis . Kevin Costner , ( Charley Waite ) gave a great supporting role and was the sidekick to Boss . Annette Bening , ( Sue Barlow ) plays the role of a doctor's assistant and has a charming way about her that makes Boss very comfortable when he is around her . Sue even gets out her mother's china and serves these men tea . This is in many ways a different Western because the actors put realism into their characters . |
418,147 | 663,392 | 421,239 | 7 | Great Wes Craven Film | This film starts out very calm and you meet a young pretty gal named Lisa Reisert , ( Rachel McAdams ) who is a very efficient manger of a hotel and she meets a friendly young man , in an airport and has a drink with him at a bar and they seem to be getting along This young man's name is Jackson Rippner , ( Cilliam Murphy ) and he also sits next to Lisa on a flight to Miami , Florida . Jackson tells Lisa some very frightening information about her father , Joe Reisert , ( Brian Cox ) and Jackson threatens Lisa and demands she follow his instructions . The film at this point in the film increases a great deal of terror and some very horrible situations . Whenever you watch a film directed by Wes Craven , you know you will be entertained right to the very end . Don't miss this film , it is really great and enjoyable . |
416,792 | 663,392 | 21,165 | 7 | Early Hitchock Classic | Enjoyed viewing this great Hitchock Classic which was created in London , England in the early talkie films and the sound and production was very poor but Herbert Marshall , ( Sir John Menier ) gave an outstanding performance along with Norah Baring , ( Diana Baring ) . Sir John Menier had to serve on a jury and make a very serious decision in a murder case concerning actors and a murder that occurred behind the scenes . Sir John was persuaded by his other jurors to convict Diana Baring of this crime which he did not really feel committed this murder . Diana is sentenced to prison and possibly death , but Sir John has a deep concern that she is innocent and decides to start his own investigation into this murder case in order to obtain Diana an appeal . This story goes very deep into this investigation and there are many suspects involved which adds greatly to this very secret murder mystery . Enjoy . |
417,203 | 663,392 | 51,713 | 7 | Rough & Tough Drivers | Great classic film from England starring Stanley Baker , ( Tom Yately ) and Peggy Cummins , ( Lucey ) . Tom Yately had a criminal record and found it very hard to find work , but he did find himself a job as a truck driver for Hawlett Trucking . This trucking firm hauled gravel from place to place and it was like a contest every week just who would be able to haul the most to their dump sites .

There is plenty of action and suspense and unbelievable fist fights . This film also has a great suspenseful ending . |
416,144 | 663,392 | 40,946 | 7 | ONE OF JOHN WAYNE'S GREATEST FILM ! | As other viewers have commented , I personally viewed this film when I only paid 35 cents for admission and it was well worth it . John Wayne was my idol and just the thought of going down under the water was extremely unimaginable and fighting all the horrible creatures we just read or heard about was never viewed on a big screen . ( Radio was our only big entertainment and we had to use our IMAGINATION ! ) In 1948 the country had just gotten over WW II and Hollywood did not have all the special effects it has in 2000 ! I have viewed this film over and over again and still remember how it kept me on the edge of my seat . All future generations will do the very same thing and admire how much the film industry has advanced in their technology . This is a great John Wayne Classic and to find fault with it is uncalled for . |
417,811 | 663,392 | 70,723 | 7 | Garbage Trucks Are Important | This was a great film which held my interest from beginning to the very end . Charlton Heston , ( Detective Robert Thorn ) performs his duties in New York City in the year 2022 which has a population of 44 million people and food is scarce . However , Soylent Green is the main food for all the population with the exception of some high officials like William R . Simonson , ( Joseph Cotton ) who has all the foods we are use to in the year 2007 , Steak , Booze , vegetables , strawberries etc etc . In the Year 2022 women who live in expensive apartments must stay as part of the furniture and accommodate the new tenant and one of these girls is Shirl , ( Leigh Taylor Young ) who charms Robert Thorn as he investigates a murder in their expensive apartment . Edward G . Robinson , ( Sol Roth ) gave his last performance in this film after 90 films to his credit . Robinson was hard of hearing in his film and was given his clues for his lines by prompters on the side lines . He was truly a great actor and a great credit to this film . Enjoy . |
416,618 | 663,392 | 24,989 | 7 | Great Classic Film of 1934 | Always enjoyed the great acting of Claude Rains , who became very famous for his role in " The Invisible Man " , ' 33 . It was after this film that Rains went on to become a great dramatic actor as in " Casablanca " , 42 , and many greater starring roles . Rains never needed cue cards , he remembered his many long lines to perfection in great Classics of the 30's , 40's and 60's with many TV appearances . In this picture Rains plays a Clairvoyant , who is really a con-artist and for some unknown reason gains great powers to foretell the future , but is unable to prevent them from happening . There is a train wreck , a horse race and many more fascinating events he predicts . Fay Wray stars as his wife and looks very attractive without her blonde hair as she appeared in " King Kong " . Fay Wray also became very famous because of her role in the Kong picture and went on to have a great acting career , without all the screaming . If you have not viewed this film , try to catch it on TV . |
417,805 | 663,392 | 36,540 | 7 | Fantastic Classic 1943 Film | Enjoyed this great Classic Film starring Sonja Henie , ( Nora ) who was a very famous Norwegian Ice-Skating Champion and gave an outstanding performance in this film with dancing and very exciting tricks on the ice which was her world . Jack Oakie , ( Skip Hutton ) gave a great supporting role and put plenty of humor to this film . Carole Landis , ( Flossie Fouchere ) , " I Wake Up Screaming " was very attractive and had the hots for Cesar Romero , ( Brad Barton ) who in real life had a very torrid affair with Cesar before she met Rex Harrison . S . Z . Sakall , ( Hjalmar Ostgaard ) was a veteran actor who was a great character actor who entertained many people in the 1930's and 1940's . Cornel Wilde , ( Freddy Austin ) was in love with Nora and they had problems but love is very strong and controls all relationships . Enjoyed the great music of Woody Herman , a great clarinet player and his orchestra which performed great sing and dance numbers . Please , don't miss viewing this film , it is wonderful . |
416,223 | 663,392 | 66,831 | 7 | The Polish Prince was in this Film | This was a John Wayne film I greatly enjoy and was surprised at the wonderful old automobiles from the 1900's driving up and down every trail and even motorcycles . John Wayne played the role as Jacob McCandles who was looked up to as a man you did not mess with and respected . Maureen O'Hare , ( Martha McCandles ) seeks the help of her husband after years of being separated when their grandchild is kidnapped for a ransom for One Million Dollars . The gang of crooks is headed by Richard Boone , ( John Fain ) who will kill women and children in cold blood and think nothing of it . Patrick Waynes son has a role in this film along with the Polish Prince of Music and Song , Bobby Vinton . Maureen O'Hara had a very brief appearance only in the beginning and end of this film and this was also the last film that Wayne and O'Hara appeared together . Very entertaining film , you will not want to miss this great film Classic from 1971 . |
416,915 | 663,392 | 59,418 | 7 | Great Charlton Heston Film | Enjoyed this film directed by Sam Peckinpah who also directed " Straw Dogs " in 1971 created a great story during the 1860's and at the end of the Civil War . Major Amos Dundee , ( Charlton Heston ) is a major who was in the Union Army and was disgraced and put in charge of a Confederate prison camp .

Major Dundee has to catch Apaches who escaped to Mexico which is ruled by the French . This is a film dealing with fighting against Apache Indians and also the French and the Confederate and Union soldiers fighting with each other and still trying to carry out their individual missions . Samuel Potts , ( James Coburn ) gives an outstanding performance as an aid to Major Dundee and also has just one arm . This is a very interesting film with some romance and plenty of bow and arrows flying threw the air . Enjoy . |
416,463 | 663,392 | 66,817 | 7 | Excellent Walt Disney Production | Never viewed this 1971 film and was greatly entertained by this great production created by the Walt Disney Studios and great animation creations . Angela Lansbury , ( Eglantine Price ) played an outstanding role as a woman who had taken a course in witch craft and was an apprentice who was beginning to fly on a broomstick and had quite a few difficulties taking off . Eglantine discovered many tricks and was able to make a bed travel to different parts of the world . However , Eglantine missed her final exams to becoming an accomplished witch . Mr . Emerlius Browne , ( David Tomlinson ) was the person who sold Eglantine this course in witchcraft and he tries to help her in every way possible to find her solution . Eglantine has a purpose to her madness and that is to stop the Nazi's from evading England . Great family entertainment and we need more films like this today . |
416,739 | 663,392 | 40,861 | 7 | BORIS KARLOFF IS A GREAT INDIAN ! | I was able to tape this film years ago . It is not often seen on TV and a true classic film . Tap Roots takes place at the outbreak of the Civil War , Lebanon Valley tries to secede from the state of Mississippi and remain neutral . Hating slavery , its leader , Hoab Dabney ( Ward Bond ) , and a faithful Indian friend of the family , Tishomingo ( Boris Karloff ) , promise to protect the valley against the Confederate army . There is a great cast of actors namely : Susan Hayward , Van Heflin and Julie London ( former wife of Jack Webb , Dragnet T . V ) Tap Roots is rather long and drawn out . However , the plot has romance , excellent photography of the Civil War costumes , sex situations and the action is of great value . Karloff is excellent as an Indian guide of the family and his make-up makes him look just like a Native American . I noticed the Smoky Mountains located in North Carolina and Tennessee where this Mississippi story was filmed which is magnificent to view . |

416,416 | 663,392 | 48,432 | 7 | Enjoyed this 1955 Film | Enjoyed this great story and all the actors who gave outstanding performances , especially Olivia De Havilland , ( Kristina Hedvigson ) who played the wife to Robert Mitchum , ( Lucas Marsh ) . Kristina came from a wealthy family and fell in love with Lucas Marsh who was going to medical school and gave him financial support in his striving to become a successful surgeon . There are great scenes in the operating room and it was done so professionally that it kept you on pins and needles throughout the entire picture . Gloria Graham , ( Harriet Lang ) plays the role of a very sexy rich woman who teases and pleases Lucas Marsh and makes him feel very guilty for cheating on his wife .

416,871 | 663,392 | 36,432 | 7 | Gem of All Gems | This 1943 Classic film clearly showed how Hollywood supported our Armed Forces during World War II and there are so many talented actors appearing in this film who all gave great performances with their talented gifts . Always enjoyed the great singing talent of Lena Horne who appeared in many Musicals during the 1940's and one of her famous songs was " Stormy Weather " . I use to live in St . Albans , Queens , New York and she was a neighbor . Lena was the pioneer of Black entertainers who started to break into the Hollywood scene and finally it was accomplished . Naturally , the War was going on and this was a picture that was created to cheer our Fighting Men and it also was a propaganda film to cheer up the American Citizens with a cast of hundreds of famous actors . Enjoyed seeing a very little known actress who is now 91 years of age , Marsha Hunt who was very young and attractive in the film , she was only 26 years of age . Don't miss this film , it is really a gem of a gem . Enjoy |
417,892 | 663,392 | 110,093 | 7 | Great Entertaining Film | Enjoyed viewing the youthful faces of Julia Roberts , ( Sabrina Peterson ) , " Closer " , ' 04 and Nick Nolte , ( Peter Brackett ) , " Clean " , ' 04 . I thought that Nick Nolte was too old an actor to play against Julia Roberts , but naturally , that is my opinion . The story starts out with a mysterious man carrying a business case containing a gun and various other items and all of a sudden there is bad train accident which disrupts the lives of Peter Brackett and Sabrina Peterson ; who happen to be newspaper reporters for two different Chicago Newspapers . Peter Bracket is also an author of a new book that was recently published and becomes distracted with Sabrina Peterson in more ways than just one . They are both rivals for a big news story and are very much at odds with each other through out the entire picture . Funny and entertaining film from 1994 . |
416,260 | 663,392 | 116,908 | 7 | Jackson & Davis were Fantastic Together | Viewed this film during the Christmas season and enjoyed this film which starts out rather calm and some what boring and then you start putting the pieces together . Geena Davis , ( Samantha Caine ) has a memory loss and has some flash backs occasionally , like slicing carrots and tomatoes and being very handy with putting a gun together and some bad language . Samuel L . Jackson , ( Mitch Henessey ) , plays a con man who has other interests in Samantha and finds himself getting deeply involved with her memory loss and about this time , the film becomes full of action and people who you think are going to die , come back to life . Entertaining film , but entirely too long and drawn out , however , Jackson and Davis did a great job of performing . |
416,846 | 663,392 | 51,845 | 7 | Not Spencer's Greatest | This is a Classic John Ford Film dealing with old time politics in a small town , but hinting to be Boston , Mass . Spencer Tracy , ( Major Frank Skeffington ) , " Guess Who's Coming to Dinner " , plays the role of mayor who has been around for many elections and this is his final try at winning over his town . However , there are many changes starting to appear in the town and people are beginning to demand more improvements to their community . John Carradine , ( Amos Force ) , " Prison Ship " , runs the local paper in town and is not the best of friends with Frank Skeffington , however he hired Jeffrey Hunter as a reporter ( Adam Caulfield ) , " A Kiss Before Dying " , ' 56 , who is a nephew to the mayor . It seems everybody smokes up a storm and in one scene the room is filled with smoke floating all over the place . ( Glad those days are long gone ) The film has many classic actors , Donald Crisp , Basil Rathbone and many more actors who make this film a very entertaining film ; there is plenty of dry humor and drama , but entirely too draw out . I even noticed that Spencer Tracy used a great deal of cue cards , more than in any other film he appeared in . picture . |
417,308 | 663,392 | 48,412 | 7 | Anthony Quinn Film | Enjoyed this film from the 1950's with Anthony Quinn playing the role as Phil Regal , mobster in a section of New York City . Nicky Bradna , ( Farley Granger ) was a young guy trying to go straight after getting out of prison and his girl friend is Rosalie Regalzyk , ( Anne Bancroft . Rosalie just so happens to be the sister to Phil and so he managed to get Nicky out of jail . There is a horrible event which happens to Nicky and Rosalie Bradna , and Nick goes wild and gets himself deep into the world of crime which takes the entire film in a different direction . Anthony Quinn put his heart and soul into this role as being a mean and cruel and hateful mobster . If you like Anthony Quinn , don't miss this film , you will greatly enjoy viewing it . |
417,333 | 663,392 | 361,693 | 7 | A Very Interesting Film | Being a great fan of Lisa Kudrow , ( Miriam Mamie Toll ) I greatly enjoyed her outstanding performance when she was getting a physical rub down in the most unconventional positions . Steve Coogan , ( Charley Peppitone ) gave plenty of sparks to his performance in a film that dealt with straight and gay guys and gals . This film starts off with a teenage girl and boy who are brother and sister-in-law having hot sex and starting a reaction that continues all the way into adulthood and more . There are many sub-plots that can confuse a person at times , however , the film is worth watching and it was nice to see Sarah Clarke , ( Diane ) " 24 " TV series who played a gay gal in this picture and is a very sexy gal and I hope to see her in more future films . There is comedy , but I really did not find myself breaking down with laughter , all the actors did an outstanding job . Enjoy |
416,603 | 663,392 | 118,647 | 8 | Great Spy Thriller | Once I knew that Donald Sutherland , ( Jack Shaw / Henry Fields ) was appearing in this film it instantly told me this was going to be a good picture to view . Most of Sutherland's pictures are full of action and suspense and he can play a rather cruel character and can also be quite charming and kind . In this picture , Jack Shaw did his very best to be a good guy and a bad guy while he was training a Naval Office to become a spy who had to change his entire identity and become a different person over night . There is plenty of car chase scenes and plenty of stunt men situations which I would not want to perform . This Naval Officer lived in a quite community with his wife and was a father , but you would never realize that fact until the film reveals his horrible background secrets which he had to keep from his family and friends . Good spy film and great acting by all the actors . |
416,773 | 663,392 | 65,051 | 8 | Bruce Dern vs .

Jason meets up with a bad dude in town who is a big trouble maker named Joe Danby , ( Bruce Dern ) and he is put in jail by Jason , however the jail has no bars on the jail but he puts him into handcuffs . There is plenty of slapstick comedy with a gal named Prudy Perkins , ( Joan Hackett ) and she begins to have a crush on Jason and he soon begins to realize how pretty she does look like however she serves her father and Jason a dinner and gets her dress on fire and Jason puts it out by throwing a pitcher of water on her rump . Walter Brennan , ( Pa Danby ) gives a great supporting role as the father of Joe Danby and he demands to get his son free from jail , however , Joe killed a man and that is why he is in jail . Very funny and enjoyable film . Enjoy . |
417,741 | 663,392 | 35,209 | 8 | Horror Film of ALL Horror Films | If you like Horror films , this one is full of hatred , brutality and things done to humanity that will never be forgotten . America did not want to get involved with War and the U . S . Government stayed as isolationists until Britian & France went to War because of Poland being bombed . Hitler thought he could conquer the world and in some ways he almost did , Japan & Italy also had the same idea , which was lead by a bunch of lunatics . This film breaks down this World War II Documented Footage concerning the Prelude to War , The Nazi Strike , The Secret Life of Hitler and the famous Nuremberg Trials . Even though this film shows the worst real horror film of them all , people still today want to wear their uniforms and their symbol of hatred and death . This is a film that will be viewed by many generations and very Well Remembered . |
416,563 | 663,392 | 65,054 | 8 | Sweet Charity 1969 vs . Broadway Version 2005 | Recently enjoyed the Broadway Production of " Sweet Charity " , starring Christina Applegate , " Married with Children " , ' 87 TV Series and enjoyed her great acting and dancing skills . Just recently decided to view the Hollywood version of " Sweet Charity " , with Shirley MacLaine , ( Charity Hope Valentine ) , " Bruno " , ' 2000 , who gave an outstanding performance by putting her heart and soul into the role of a Sweet , Loving Hooker . Sammy Davis , Jr . , ( Big Daddy Brubeck ) , " Tap " , ' 89 , gave an extra plus to his role and made this 1969 production a great success . I must say that both Applegate and MacLaine performances were equally outstanding and it was great seeing Christina in person on a Broadway Stage where she belongs . |
416,671 | 663,392 | 30,643 | 8 | Nice Mysterious Film | Had no idea what type of French film this was going to turn out to be , so I gave it a try and became very interested in the characters portrayed by Jean Gabin , ( Jean ) who was a French soldier who was bound and determined to go AWOL and had a hatred for almost everything , mostly GUNS and explosions . Jean is broke and manages to locate an old shack near a river where an old man gives comfort to people who are homeless or just plain Hopeless in Life . A small cute dog seems to attach himself to Jean and follows him where ever he decides to go , after a while he becomes very fond of the animal . At the same time , Jean meets up with a very beautiful woman at the Old Man's Shack , Michele Morgan , ( Nelly ) who has had bad luck in the choice of men she makes love to . Jean and Nelly run around trying to figure out just what they want to do in life and fate has another plan for both of them . There is some very deep spiritual secrets in this film and I enjoyed it from beginning to end . |
416,922 | 663,392 | 56,370 | 8 | Excellent Film | This film deals with a young man named Patient , ( Bobby Darin ) who is put in prison and has big problems with his inmates and is placed in the care of the chief psychiatrist , ( Sidney Poiter ) . As soon as the patient sees his psychiatrist he starts laughing because he is an Africian American and this immediately indicates he has a problem with this man's race . As the film has many flashbacks , you learn that the Patient hates the Jewish people and was an only child and had a father he hated and a mother who was constantly ill . This film talks about the Depression Period in American History and deals with the patient liking the Nazi Movement in American that hailed all the ideas of Adolph Hitler . Bobby Darin gave an outstanding performance along with Sidney Poiter and there is a very brief appearance by Peter Falk . I was very surprised at Bobby Darin's performance because he was mainly a song and dance man and very popular . Enjoy . |
417,818 | 663,392 | 65,126 | 8 | Great John Wayne Classic | I can really understand why John Wayne , ( Marshall Roaster Coghorn ) won an Academy Award for his role in this great picture with great photography of the beautiful country of California . Glen Campbell , ( La Boeuf ) gave a great supporting role as a Texas bounty hunter looking for a man named Ned Pepper , ( Robert Duvall ) . There is also a very young girl named Mattie Ross , ( Kim Darby ) who finds Marshall Coghorn and hires him to capture the killer of her father and she is a very determined gal who will travel with Coghorn , Boeuf in order to capture these killers and crooks . Dennis Hooper ( Moon ) gave a great supporting role . This truly is one of John Wayne's great films and I am so glad he finally won an Oscar for his many years of making very entertaining films . |
417,555 | 663,392 | 52,700 | 8 | Classic Orson Welles Film | This was a true story and this picture gives a close look into the behind the scenes of the rich and famous years ago and depicts how some of their spoiled brats used their higher education to do just about anything they wanted , especially to young girls . Orson Welles , ( Jonathan Wilk ) , comes to the aid of the two young men accused of murder after they had been grilled night and day for a confession by E . G . Mrshall , ( District Attorney Harold Horn ) . The case looks rather bleak for the two young men and Jonathan Wilk decides he is going to try to uncover any new evidence to clear his clients . If you like Orson Wells and his acting , this is a great performance of a very wise attorney only trying to do his job despite Klu Klux burning crosses on his front lawn . |
418,166 | 663,392 | 26,174 | 8 | 1935 Pirate Classic | This is truly a great masterpiece created by director , Michael Curtiz and a great cast of outstanding young actors just starting their careers in Hollywood . Some of these actors were so young I could hardly recognize them especially Errol Flynn , ( Peter Blood ) and Basil Rathbone , ( Levasseur ) . If you like plenty of sword fighting and cannons blasting at other tall sailing ships with the English and French and pirate ships getting in on the action , this is the film for you . Olivia DE Havilland , ( Arabella Bishop ) falls in love with Captain Blood but is separated from him because he was her slave and he ran away from her to become an adventurer and also a very famous Pirate against the English . Captain Levasseur , ( Basil Rathbone ) is a French pirate and joins forces with Captain Blood but they become enemies because both men want Arabella Bishop and there is some very fancy sword flashing between the two of these pirates . Great 1935 film Classic , Enjoy . |
417,665 | 663,392 | 195,256 | 8 | The Goddess 1934 | Greatly enjoyed this film starring Chinese actress Lingyu Ruan who plays the role as a prostitute who has a baby boy and sells her body in order to stay alive and feed her son . Ruan continues doing this job for many years and eventually a pimp takes over his control on Ruan's money and even her life . Ruan's son becomes old enough to attend a school and she hides her money in a wall in order to pay for his education . Ruan's neighbor's are against her and do not want her son to play with their children . This is a very sad story and the ending will surprise you greatly as to just what happens to Ruan and the future of her son . You will need a box of tissues for the ending . |
416,687 | 663,392 | 91,217 | 8 | Danville , Illinois Classic Star | Over the years I missed this film starring Gene Hackman , ( Coach , Norman Dale ) , " Heartbreakers " , ' 01 , a true story about a small high school in Indiana who struggle with many ups and downs and are considered one of the worst teams in the Hoosier State . Coach Norman seeks the help of an old pro at Basketball , who is a burned out drunk who goes on and off the wagon and needs to dry out most of the time . The film keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering if this team will ever amount to anything . However , the town people are big supportive fans and do get tired and discussed with their coach and have a local meeting in a town church . There are lots of scenes showing plenty of corn fields and even some romance is squeezed in between games . Gene Hackman was born in Danville , Illinois , near the Indiana border where all you can see for miles is corn fields not far from Champaign , Illinois where the University of Illinois is located . Gene fit in perfectly with this film and it was great entertainment . |
416,769 | 663,392 | 30,341 | 8 | Great Film Classic | It will take about twenty minutes into this film when you will begin to realize that a crime has been committed on a Trans-European train which was delayed due to bad weather . Once the train starts up there is a socialite named Iris Henderson , ( Margaret Lockwood ) who meets up with a governess named Miss Froy , ( Dame May Witty ) and they both become very friendly with each other . Gilbert Redman , ( Michael Redgrave ) gets involved with Iris Hendersson and they become very friendly with each other . Miss Froy seems to be missing on the train and no one can figure out just where she might have gone . There are many twists and turns in this great Alfred Hitchcock mystery which will be his last film made in England and he will go on to bigger and better film productions . You will enjoy this film and be amazed at the great acting of Michael Redgrave who was just starting out on his great film career . |
417,354 | 663,392 | 373,024 | 8 | Problems Families Face | Enjoyed this film which deals entirely about an average family , so it appears . Ben Travis , ( Jeff Daniels ) plays the role as a father who is only interested in one son who is excellent at swimming and wins many trophy's , however , he hates it very much and even his father . Ben has very little to say to his other son , Tim , ( Emile Hirsh ) and even his daughter , Penny , ( Michelle Williams ) who is fortunate to be away in college . The mother , Sandy , ( Sigourney Weaver ) tries to hold the family together and even she is completely ignored by her husband also . A very tragic event happens in the family which changes everyone's personality , young and old start using drugs , smoking pot and drinking all the time at parties . There is even a homosexual scene and at the same time there is even room for comedy and of course there is a very dark secret that Sandy Travis finally tells her son Tim . |
417,512 | 663,392 | 26,529 | 8 | Great Acting Great Classic Film | This picture in 1935 walked away with all kinds of Ocars for Best Director , John Ford , Actor Victor McLaglen and music by Max Seiner . Victor McLaglen , ( Gypo Nolan ) , " Call Out the Marines " , ' 42 , gave an outstanding performance as an Irish rebel who belonged to a rough and tough crowd who were all fighting for a cause and at the same time getting poorer and poorer with plenty of drinking . Gypo Nolan made a bad mistake when he decided to become an informer for his best friend in order to take a trip with his gal to America and a new way of living . Preston Foster , ( Don Gallagher ) , " Guadalcanal Diary " , ' 43 , gave a great supporting role as the leader of the Irish rebellion and was anxious to capture the informer of his group . Gypo Nolan becomes haunted by his betrayal of his friend and begins to feel just like a Judas . Great film for 1935 and wonderful acting by McLaglen , but rather depressing in every aspect of the film . |
416,694 | 663,392 | 122,690 | 8 | DeNiro Played a Cool Cat | Always enjoy the great acting of Robert DeNiro ( Sam ) , " Hide & Seek " , ' 05 , who plays a very smart dude who has had lots of experience in the field of crime and deception . Sam is hired by Dierdre , ( Natascha McElhone ) , " Guy X " , ' 05 , who plays a sexy long haired blond who at first attends bar very briefly only to lead a bunch of hoods into a very secret plan in order to obtain a package . Money is no object in securing this package and there is a scene at an airport where Sam helps Dierdre from making some very bad mistakes as well as other members of his working crime family . There is plenty of mystery , foul language , but the film will hold your interest , only because Robert DeNiro does a fantastic job of acting and making this film interesting . |
416,264 | 663,392 | 39,308 | 8 | Great Classic Actors | If you are old enough to remember Ida Lupino and Dane Clark when they were both at the top of their careers in the 1940's , then this film will be a great Classic to view and enjoy . Ida Lupino , ( Libby Saul ) , " The Big Knife " , ' 55 , plays a very innocent farm gal who has a big heart and falls madly in love with Dane Clark , ( Barry Burnette ) , " God Is My Co-Pilot " , ' 45 . Barry is a guy who gets all the wrong breaks in life and has a very bad temper which he just simply cannot control . Barry finds himself wanting to start his life all over again , however , he has things in his past which make his hopes a big problem . This story is very sad and yet it has a great story about love between a man and a woman who know they will be Soul Mates forever no matter what happens to them in life . Ida Lupino looked real great in the close ups and Dane Clark gave a great performance as a very troubled man . |
417,993 | 663,392 | 39,417 | 8 | Great Rossellini Film | Greatly enjoyed this film that was directed and written by Roberto Rossellini , which was produced on a very low budget with actual real life scenes of the complete destruction of Germany after World War II . Rossellini even hired just regular people to act in this film and very few professional actors . Edmund Moeschke , ( Edmund ) was a little boy who struggles trying to find food and lived with a family where an Ex-Nazi hid out and never went outside and never earned a living . Edmund sold stolen goods in order to obtain money and wandered among all the ruins of the Germany city with a bunch of very poor boys and girls . This is a rather depressing film and clearly shows the horrors that Hitler brought upon the German people who had promised a great country that would be world rulers . This is a great Classic film with its unbelievable photography and great acting . |
416,595 | 663,392 | 264,616 | 8 | A Real Dark Spiritual Film | This film was completely different than any horror film I have experienced and in some ways it takes you deep into a twisted and sick mind which had a strict religious foundation . Many times we have heard killers say that the " Devil Made Me Do IT " ! In this picture God is speaking to Bill Paxton , ( Dad Meiks ) , who is trying to raise two boys , Matt L'Leary and Matthew McConaughey after there mothers untimely death . One of these boys walks into FBI Headquarters in their town and meets up with Powers Boothe , ( Agent Wesley Doyle ) , who listens to a story that completely makes no sense , but as the story unfolds , you begin to sense a very spiritual problem is causing all kinds of horrible things to happen to people from all walks of life , old and young . You just might not be able to watch this film from beginning to end , but just remember it is only a film , and the director and producer and actors all did a fantastic job . Enjoy if you CAN ! |
417,763 | 663,392 | 160,403 | 8 | A COMEDY IS A COMEDY ! | Enjoyed this entire comedy film , sure it was nuts and way out in left field , but after all , it is a COMEDY ! Jerry Stiller ( Marty Fineman ) and Jeneane Garafalo ( Paloma Fineman ) had a good time making this film along with great directors like Ron Howard , Peter Bagdonavich ( " The Last Picture Show " 71 ) ; Roger Corman ( " Tales of Terror " ' 63 ) and sexy Karen Black . You just have to be a Jerry Stiller fan to really enjoy seeing him trying to get a laugh . It is tooo way out to be hard on this film ! Just sit back and go to sleep if it helps . |
417,547 | 663,392 | 210,075 | 8 | Michelle Rodriquez Was a Knockout | Went to Wal-Mart and found this film on DVD and had no idea whether I made a bad purchase or a good one . It is the later outcome to my viewing the entire film from beginning to end . Michelle Rodriquez , ( Diana Guzman ) , " BloodRayne " , ' 05 , gave a great performance and her looks are beautiful , sexy , and at the same time a real study in the art of how acting is really performed . Diana did not like her home life and especially her own father for the abuse he gave her mother . She decides to get boxing training in a local Brooklyn Gym and is not really well accepted by the male boxers . In her high school there is plenty of friction between her female classmates and guys . There is lots of action in the ladies bathroom and references as to private parts of guys . If you like boxing , and seeing a hot sexy gal do wonders in the ring and knock the boys on their you Know What , this is the film for you . |
416,168 | 663,392 | 34,828 | 8 | Ida Lupino was Outstanding | Greatly enjoyed this 1942 film starring Ida Lupino , ( Mrs .

This story is really about the great actress Ginger Rogers and how her mother pushed her daughter into show business at all costs . They even offered Ginger Rogers a part in this picture , but she refused . Great Classic film , don't miss seeing it on TV . |

417,530 | 663,392 | 47,878 | 8 | Great 1955 Film | Always enjoy every film that Richard Conte stars in mainly because I was born in Jersey City , N .

417,877 | 663,392 | 35,770 | 8 | Cast of Veteran Actors | This was a great WW II film which supported the war effort in America as we were fighting Japan and Germany , huge evil threats to the world . This story revolves around some new nurses who have to experience bombing raids as they are about to eat their evening meals . Ann Southern , ( Pat Conlin ) , Joan Blondell ( Grace ) , Ella Raines ( Connie Booth ) and Marsha Hunt , ( Flo Norris ) " Chloe's Prayer " , ' 05 . All of these women had great careers in Hollywood , some were just character actresses like Marsha Hunt , who had a cute turned up nose and simply never got the man she fell in love with . During the Joseph McCarthy Era , when McCarthy was investigating actors for being associated with the Communist party , Marsha Hunt was placed on his Black List , which turned out to be a false story . This film is a definite look back at the past and the opportunity to see great actors just starting their careers on the Silver Screen in Hollywood . |

417,997 | 663,392 | 39,677 | 8 | Sir Carol Reed is a Great Director | Enjoyed this great film from 1947 , sixty years ago , which stared a great actor James Mason who was never really recognized by Hollywood as a great actor . The director of this film Sir Carol Reed was a very famous director who directed many famous pictures that won Oscars . Stephen Spielberg admired Reed's great work and was his inspiration in the film industry . This film deals with a bank robber who escapes from jail and is in hiding for six months and never goes out of the house and at the same time is planning to make a bank hold up with his many supporters .

Cary Grant , ( Capt . Cassidy ) plays the commander who manages to take his submarine right into the backyard of the Japanese Nation . John Garfield , ( Wolf ) plays a great role who charms the crew with his tales of all the women he met along with a great deal of exaggeration . Alan Hale , ( Cookie Wainwright ) was a cook on the submarine and was able to give a great deal of comedy to his role as the chef .

418,031 | 663,392 | 25,610 | 8 | Reality Film of the Depression Era | Heard my grandparents speak about the depression and how hard it was to live in any big city trying to find work and food . This film clearly shows in great detail all the difficulties people experienced trying to find work and hold a job and turned their ambitions into the rich farmland of the Mid-West . King Vidor showed the poor conditions that people had to live in and how the weather seemed to work against them with droughts and dust storms . The scene I liked the most was when all the men decided to do something about getting water for their corn crops and working day and night to get their corn fields filled with water . Some of the people jumped and rolled in the dirt , mud and went simply crazy at the sight of water flowing on their land . This was a great realistic film about the depression days years ago . |
417,748 | 663,392 | 60,801 | 8 | A Great Entertaining Film | Enjoyed this film because it had so many surprises with many many famous actors who appear and you just never know just what is going to happen next .

One day , Frankie goes with friends to a rehearsal and he jumps up on the stage and shows one of the actors just how to use a knife like a street criminal . This performance got the attention of an older woman who was the director of the play and she hired him and his career took off and he became a big star . The only problem is that Frankie has a complex about woman and he actually hated his mother and he also does the same thing with all women he meets and he always manages to hurt them and leaves them in tears . Tony Bennett gave an outstanding performance as a great actor and there was no singing at all , just very dramatic acting and he really gave a great supporting role . You will never be able to figure out just how this film will end and there are many surprises which seem to pop out at you . Great film , enjoy . |
416,904 | 663,392 | 87,399 | 8 | DOWN TO EARTH FILM AND VERY ENJOYABLE ! | Taped this film years ago and thought it was just a great film about three ( 3 ) young gals striving to make a career in the dance field . It showed the hard work behind the scenes of the dancing world and gives encouragement for all those trying to follow in their footsteps . The location in Canada is depressing and the abandoned warehouse they decided to rent was unbelievable . There is lots of love and HOT romance along with a cute scene with a little boy asking a question about " Orgie's " and a very cute reply from his mother . This is a great classic film and very enjoyable to view , try to catch it on TV sometime ! |
417,874 | 663,392 | 100,667 | 8 | Victoria Principal Look Fantastic | It was nice viewing a TV film back in 1990 , where Victoria Principal had great looks and played the role of a New Mexcio Mayor , ( Patricia Sparks ) , " Naked Lie " TV ' 89 . Patricia attends a conference in a large city and gets hit on by Ted Wass , ( Steve Warner ) , who manages to push Pat right into the bedroom with plenty of good lines . This so called affair manages to come back to haunt her in her own home town ; despite the fact that her home town also has a serial killer on the loose . This killer does not like anyone , especially a woman , to point their finger at him and tell him what to do . Unfortunately , too many young gals pointed their fingers , even a poor bus driver , teacher and many more finger pointers . The ending is rather a tease and not very much to my liking , however , it is entertaining . |

One of the friends is Jimmy Durante , ( Nick Lombardi ) who really stole the entire film in almost every scene . Kathryn Grayson , ( Anne Fielding ) had such a fantastic opera voice and sang some very famous Classical musical numbers . It was enjoyable seeing Peter Lawford , ( Jamie Shellgrove ) give a great song and dance number and also a blooming romance between him and Anne Fielding . Even Gloria Grahame , ( Nurse ) gave a great supporting role as a nurse taking care of Danny while he was in the service and how he sort of remembers her at the very end of the picture .

416,962 | 663,392 | 29,870 | 8 | Great 1939 Film Classic | Have not seen this picture in a long time but it is always a great treat to view it again , because it shows just what New York City's Hell's Kitchen looked like on the East Side of Manhattan in the 30's . There were old tenement homes and people use their windows to hang out their laundry to dry in the Summer . This film starts out with two boys , Rocky Sullivan , ( James Cagney ) and Jerry Connolly , ( Pat O'Brien ) and they are typical poor boys who have fun fooling around and stealing things from people .

416,468 | 663,392 | 35,489 | 8 | Director John Brahm Made this a Great Classic ! | Enjoyed taping this film recently , which was shown during the early hours of the AM . It is a great picture from the 1940's and director John Brahm , who also directed such film greats as , " Hangover Square " , ' 45 and " The Lodger " , ' 44 , starring Laid Cregar . Twentieth Century-Fox produced this film which is from a good novel taken from Jessie Douglas Kerruish's 1936 book . It is a tale of a family cursed since the Crusades and is rather moody stuff , quite spoilt by the British censor's scissors . Not only did he remove the carefully photographed final metamorphosis , leaving audiences to wonder why the dim thing that the police shot should suddenly look like John Howard , but he also insisted on the title being changed to The Hammond Mystery . Fortunately enough of Brahm's brilliance was devoted to less shocking sequences so that most of his mood remained . Lucien Ballard swung his camera round as ancient room , alighting on odd objects at each dour bong of midnight . He also showed a large stain glass window which made the old homestead very creapy . The phrase : When the stars are bright on a frosty night , Beware the baying in the rocky lane " You will have to see the picture to find out what the MONSTER REALLY IS ! |
416,800 | 663,392 | 60,424 | 8 | Funny Film | Billy Wilder produced a great film and also wrote this screen play which featured Jack Lemmon , ( Harry Hinkle ) who was a TV Camera man working on a football field and is accidentally knocked over by by an all star team player and suffers injuries .

This situation continues for a long time and even Harry's wife Sandy Hinkle , ( Judi West ) decides to visit him and when she finds out he is a fake , she wants him to continue his deception in order to get all the insurance money . There are lots of laughs and Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau hold this entire picture together . Enjoy . |
416,088 | 663,392 | 39,842 | 8 | Great Classic Film | This film had a great story about a small English town and its people during WWII and the poor living conditions for the average family and the poor health conditions .

John Gilbert in real life had a torrid affair with Greta Garbo and was left at the alter which devastated John and his career went down hill and MGM made sure his career was over . John was the next Rudolph Valentino and was adored by all the young ladies during this period of time . Enjoyable film Classic with great veteran actors from the past . Enjoy |
416,469 | 663,392 | 65,851 | 8 | HAMMER PRODUCED A VERY GRAPHIC FRANKENSTEIN ! | Over the years I seemed to have missed this film made by Hammer Studio's and enjoyed the realism of a real down to earth horrible monster maker , Ralph Bates ( Victor Frankenstein ) , " Lust for a Vampire " , ' 71 who numbered all his parts so he could construct a real to life " Frankenstein " , he even could visualize a number # 25 on the forehead of one of his victims , which was his BRAIN !

417,545 | 663,392 | 57,102 | 8 | Mickey Spillane No Actor | Enjoyed everything that Mickey Spillane wrote and enjoyed this film , but Mickey just did not fit into the role as Mike Hammer , he should have stayed at home by the typewriter . Even Hy Gardner , a famous , NYC newspaper reporter and Radio personality added greatly to this film with his assistance to Mike Hammer . Lloyd Nolan , ( Federal Agent Arthur Rickerby ) , " A Tree Grows In Brooklyn " gave a nice supporting role , who was a great Classic Actor in his early career in Hollywood . The real hot sexy number in this picture was Shirley Eaton , ( Laura Knapp ) , " Goldfinger " , who did everything she could to tease and please Mike Hammer in hot bathing attire by the pool and in the bedroom .

416,497 | 663,392 | 39,926 | 8 | Overlooked Film | This is a film that is very much overlooked by most Bogart fans , not because of his acting , but the story line may have been great in 1947 , but is not very thrilling today . Humphrey Bogart , ( Geoffrey Carroll ) , " Dead End " , ' 37 , plays a struggling artist and also a man who loves the ladies . Barbara Stanwyk , ( Sally Morton Carroll ) , " Sorry , Wrong Number " , ' 48 plays the wife and begins to become very uncomfortable living with her husband .

Geoffrey works on a painting of his wife and has it under lock and key and eventually she opens the door and finds a great big surprise . Even Nigel Bruce ( Dr . Tuttle ) , " Dressed to Kill " , ' 46 appears in the picture and gives a great supporting role as the family doctor . If you are a Bogart fan , you will want to see his performance and especially his facial expressions , something like the " Caine Mutiny " 54 . |
416,808 | 663,392 | 35,530 | 8 | Classic Veteran Actors | This is a great WW II film about an Island in the Pacific where the United States lost a great deal of their Marine soldiers .

Karloff is starred , and does the best that he can to portray a Chinese bandit using the methods of American racketeers . Boris Karloff's acting and makeup is great which made this picture into a classic . |
416,127 | 663,392 | 12,494 | 8 | Love is Stronger Than Death | Fritz Lang produced a great 1921 silent film about the power of death which faces every living person no matter whether you are a new born person or a very young person or older .

Great Masterpiece by Fritz Lang way way back in 1921 Enjoy |
417,914 | 663,392 | 126,604 | 8 | Pecfect Name for this Film | This is a very light headed comedy about a wonderful family that has a son called Pecker because he use to Peck at his Food .
