417,240 | 663,392 | 112,857 | 10 | Denzel & Jennifer Were Fantastic Together ! | Missed this film and recently viewed this great film going back into the 1940s . It was great to see a very young Denzel Washington ( Easy Rawlins ) , " Training Day " , ' 01 , who managed to have his own home in Los Angeles and was very well liked by his neighbors and many friends . The photography was outstanding and depicted what life was life after WWII and how living conditions were among the black and white communities . Easy Rawlins meets Jennifer Beals , ( Daphne Monet ) , " Break a Leg " , ' 03 , who seems to get him in all kinds of trouble , however , there is a great spark and attraction between the two of them . After viewing this picture , I can fully understand why this picture is Titled , " Devil in a Blue Dress " , Daphne managed to get quite a few people KILLED ! |
418,030 | 663,392 | 316,654 | 10 | Great Spider-Man Film | Tobey Maguire , ( Spider-Man / Peter Parker ) , gave an outstanding performance as a very weak and helpless type of guy who tried to fly like a bird and fell on his face all the time , so to speak . As the picture progresses you wonder just how Spider Man will eventually put an end to his octopus friend and his evil deeds . There are many exciting scenes and especially when Spider Man is trying to save a run-away elevated train from going off its track and winding up in a river . Kirsten Dunst , ( Mary Jane Watson ) is about to get married to someone other than Peter Parker and something takes hold of her and sends her in another direction . This was a great entertaining film and very well viewing over and over again . |
416,059 | 663,392 | 39,152 | 10 | A Great Classic Western ! | Just recently I was able to view this Western on TV and was surprised to see John Wayne ( Quirt Evans ) " Stagecoach " ' 39 so very young and handsome strutting down the streets of an old Western town . Gail Russell ( Penelopoe Worth ) " Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour " ' 43 tried to keep Quirt from going gun crazy and almost got her man killed , but finally saved by the U S Marshall ( Harry Carey ) , veteran silent film actor of 258 films , " Red River " ' 48 . John Wayne admirers must try to view this film and see how slim and trim he appeared and how he was able to put MAGIC into any Western he appeared in ! |
416,075 | 663,392 | 13,085 | 10 | CLARA BOW CAPTURED THIS ENTIRE SILENT FILM ! ! | Clara Bow , the " IT " GIRL of Hollywood , who was exploited by her directors and under-paid for all her roles , showed her great talent in this film . Clara Bow played " Dot " Morgan , daughter to Patience Morgan ( Marguerite Courtat ) " Silas Marner " ' 22 and Raymond McKee ( Thomas Allan Dexter ) " Uncle Tom " 1929 . If you have never seen a silent screen film with a great actress of all time , view this film and enjoy the great talents of Clara Bow who was given low budget films and never complained , she just wanted to perform from her very heart ( Even her own mother tried to Kill Her ) and soul and that is all that matter to this great Classic Film Star , who will be remembered forever and ever ! |
417,701 | 663,392 | 286,077 | 10 | Womanizer Film ! | Unfortunately this film made me reflect on a good friend who was married just like Harry Hamlin ( Cameron Thomas ) , " Strange Hearts " , ' 01 , and had a nice family , good job and made a nice career for himself and family . However , just like Cameron Thomas , he was not able to stay faithful to his wife and family and ran after every woman he could find . This is a dreadful illness and leads to many other problems which this film portrays . Lisa Rinna , ( Joanna Thomas ) , " Good Advice " , ' 01 , finally found out about her husband and went through a living hell . Cameron promised his wife Lisa , he would try to straighten out , but wound up looking at Porno on the Internet and just simply could not do anything else but fill his brain with SEX . If you have a friend or family member like this , get them HELP ! |
416,889 | 663,392 | 43,959 | 10 | Susan Hayward & Tyrone Power Had Their Hands Full | Always enjoyed greatly the films which Tyrone Power and Susan Hayward appear in , they were great actors and put their hearts and souls into any role they had to play . In this picture Tyrone Power , ( Tom Owens ) , " Blood & Sand " , ' 41 , managed an outpost for stagecoaches and travelers . Tom met up with Susan Hayward ( Vinnie Holt ) , " I'll Cry Tomorrow " , ' 55 , and her little daughter and had some very unwelcome visitors who caused all kinds of problems and forced Tom & Vinnie to turn their entire lives upside down along with the little child who could hardly walk , but kept them on their toes . Jack Elam , ( Tevis ) , " Hannie Caulder " , ' 71 , played a very over sexed animal of a man who could hardly control his feelings for any woman . This picture keeps your interest to the very end and is a great Western Classic . |
417,842 | 663,392 | 295,172 | 10 | Too Many Flashbacks | Any film that Shannen Doherty appears in usually is outstanding , and she gave a fantastic job of acting through out the entire picture . Doherty played the part of Kate , who lived with a guy named Paul and was deeply in love with him . There is an accident which occurs to Kate and from then on the entire picture is made up of constant flashbacks , almost to the very end of the picture . There was a point during the picture that I was beginning to feel like the story was repeating itself over and over again . As the story unfolded , it became quite an interesting story , but WAY OUT in Left Field . The romance that Kate has with two guys is quite interesting and Kate sure looked hot and sexy attracting for the poor two guys . |
416,708 | 663,392 | 893,397 | 10 | Excellent Film to Enjoy | If you like pictures about fire fighters and the police who deal with arson and what sparks people into enjoying the flame and causing many people to die . The story deals with a young girl , ( Alica Witt ) who witnesses a fire that burned down her family restaurant which made a deep impression on her mind and stayed with her into adulthood . It is because of this incident that she becomes a policewoman and has to take a final test which is going into a burning building in an allot period of time .

This well written story by Nora Roberts will keep you glued to your TV screen and keep you guessing just who is the FIRE BUG ! Enjoy |
417,179 | 663,392 | 112,831 | 10 | TONY DANZA WAS A GREAT JUNKYARD CHARACTER ! | Tony Danza ( Tom Action ) surprised me with his complete change of character from anything he has ever performed , he gave up his NY ( Brooklyn ) accent for a real down to earth SOUTHERN DRAWL ! ! If you liked him in " Who's The Boss " , get ready to completely hate the role he plays . If you had any doubts about Tony Danza as an actor , his junkyard character will change your mind completely . His wife Pamela Reed ( Carol ) ( " Proof of Life " ' 02 and " Standing on Fishes " ' 99 ) played a great supporting role as a very simple minded down to earth good mother and wife who depends completely on her husband Tom and looks up to him NO matter how he seems to ACT at TIMES ! ! Ving Rhames ( Detective Jackson ) ( " Sin " ' 03 ) was fantastic in his role trying to figure out this crazy household and just what happened to the missing daughter Kathy Action , ( Heather Tom ) " Young & The Restless'73 TV series ) This is a great film to view the next time it is on the TV Screen . |
417,518 | 663,392 | 369,003 | 10 | GREAT FAMILY TV FILM ! | When Ted Danson ( George ) , " Mumford " , ' 99 , and Mary Steenburgen ( Clem ) , " Elf " , ' 03 , get together as husband and wife in real life and on the SCREEN ! , sparks fly and you see a great combination of excellent acting at its very best . George & Clem decided to work out divorce problems with their " DIVORCE CAMPER " , where they decided to split up their property between themselves without a lawyer and also find out personal things about each other and at the same time find time to make love and keep warm at the same time . Great Comedy / Drama with all kinds of surprises at the END ! If you love Ted Danson , " Cheers " and his wonderful wife Mary , don't miss this TV FILM ! ! ! |
416,228 | 663,392 | 118,548 | 10 | President's have Affair's But not Murder ! | Viewed this film quite a few times and greatly enjoyed the entire plot . I did think about former President Clinton and his affair , however , I doubt very much that anyone very close to the President , including the Secret Service would cover up a MURDER ! Clint Eastwood made this a great mystery with his great acting skills and directing talent . Luther Whitney ( Clint Eastwood ) , " Unforgiven " , ' 02 , was doing a great job in house stealing from E . G . Marshall ( Walter Sullivan ) , " Russian Holiday " , ' 92 , and at the same time his wife , Melora Hardin ( Christy Sullivan ) , " The Hot Chick " , ' 02 was plenty Hot and passionate with Gene Hackman , ( Pres . Allen Richmond ) , " Welcome to Mooseport " , ' 04 . It seems that Walter Sullivan was use to watching his wife have affairs with other men , as he had a perfect hidden room which permitted him observe EVERYTHING GOING ON AND MORE in his bedroom . Laura Linney ( Kate Whitney ) , " Mystic River " , ' 04 , was Clint Eastwood's daughter in this film and she was always after him to give up the love of his life JOB , ROBBING THE RICH ! This is definitely a great film to view off and on and just simply enjoy the great acting by great Veteran Screen Actors and Director ! |
416,476 | 663,392 | 70,509 | 10 | A LINDSAY WAGNER CLASSIC FILM ! | It is always refreshing to look back in time and see the great performances of actors like Lindsay Wagner as ( Susan ) , Timothy Bottoms ( James T . Hart ) and John Houseman ( Charles Kingsfield ) . The photography was fantastic and the actors all performed their roles with the greatest of easy . This is a film that can be enjoyed by anyone going to college with the aspirations of becoming a lawyer or doctor and have to deal with their professor's old fashioned IDEAS and at the same time , love to give them a hard time and upset the so called APPLE CART of LEARNING ! Professor Kingsfield acted like a WISE OLD OWL , and knew everything that James Hart was going to say and do in his class . It is quite apparent he deep down liked his qualities and he also played with his head ! This film should never be taken seriously , it is a very enjoyable film showing how you can fly your grades into the OCEAN ! |
416,354 | 663,392 | 30,714 | 10 | Enjoyed this Old Timer | This was a definite look back at the past when John Wayne was very young and starting out on a great career in films . There really is no stampede , except the bad guys trying to blame Stony Brooke , ( John Wayne ) for a crime he did not commit . However , the local town people want justice and are convinced that Stony is responsible for this crime and must pay for it . Stony is put in jail and his lady friend , Nanvy Carson visits him while the jail is set on fire and they are both destined to die in the blaze . Tucson Smith , ( Ray Corrigan ) and Lullaby Joslin , ( Max Terhune ) try to come to his rescue . Lullaby Joslin is also a ventriloquist and there are some funny scenes with his dummy talking and making jokes . If you look real close , you will see the famous villain of all Western Films , Charlie King . Great John Wayne Classic film , enjoy . |
417,446 | 663,392 | 405,159 | 10 | Morgan Freeman was Outstanding | If Morgan Freeman , ( Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris ) did not appear in this film it would have failed on its face , because he gave the best supporting performance I have ever seen him create . Hilary Swank , ( Maggie Fitgerald ) put her heart and soul into this role as a prize fighter who climbs to unbelievable heights in the world of women boxing with the great help of both Eddie Dupris and Clint Eastwood , ( Frankie Dunn ) . Frankie Dunn constantly has gone to his church and asked the priest many questions concerning the Catholic Faith and even runs into trouble with the Priest trying to understand his frame of thinking . Frnkie Dunn asks the priest a question that will change the entire mood of the film and put it into a very controversial film concerning Life or Death . Nice film . |
417,176 | 663,392 | 101,316 | 10 | JANE MARCH IS A SUPER STAR ! | When this film started off , I had no idea in just what direction this film was going to take me . The photography in Vietnam was outstanding and Jane March ( The Young girl ) and her famous " Mans Hat " had me quite confused . However , when Tony Leung Ka ( The Chinaman ) appeared on the screen and started making SPARKS with Jane March , I realized that this was a very deep and beautiful love story that really went way beyond the bedroom mattress . This film showed that LOVE will break down all walls of bigotry , race or religious beliefs and even an age gap cannot stop the love between a man or woman or young lady . It is very sad that this couple could never grow old together and be able to look back at their wonderful romantic experiences ! A deep film with a great message , don't miss it ! |
416,035 | 663,392 | 112,795 | 10 | George Hamilton & Lisa Rinna Were Great ! | Lifetime shows some great TV films if you are interested in some romance and drama , this particular film held my interest because of the great acting and kept me guessing just how the story would end . George Hamilton , ( Malcolm Patterson ) , " Off Key " , ' 01 , performed great acting abilities as a very rich young man who was married a few times and never seemed to be able to have a son . Malcolm hires Lisa Rinna , ( Marielle ) , " Robot Wars " , ' 93 , who was looking for employment and was referred to Malcolm by her father who knew him over the years . Lisa Rinna gave a great performance and was very sexy and attractive along with the handsome tanned George Hamilton . Give it a look sometime and see if you can guess how film will END ! |
417,973 | 663,392 | 105,212 | 10 | Male & Female Duel it Out ! | Some how I missed this series of films and enjoyed this flick from the beginning to the very end . Cynthia Rothrock , ( Kris Fairfield ) , " Manhattan Chase " , ' 2000 , was a high school teacher and decided after work to use an ATM and had some very nasty encounters by some real bad bad dudes , who hit on her in more ways than one ! Richard Norton ( Preston Michaels ) , " Mind Games " , ' 03 , played a cop who got himself messed up with all kinds of characters and mainly a very hot , hot sexy everywhere Red Head and things started to POP ! Terri Treas , " House IV ' 92 , was a very sexy mean mama , who did not mess around and had her eyes set on giving Preston Michaels a real hard time in more ways than what she wanted . There was lots of combat and it is up to you to figure out if the Male or Female won the battle of the bulges . |
416,605 | 663,392 | 427,342 | 10 | Entertaining Film ! | If you are looking for a film to keep you interested , this is the film for you . You will see lots of lightning , thunder and a very old New Orleans home and antiques . A local area is preparing for a very bad storm and they are starting to sandbag and are getting assistance from convicts . Melissa Gilbert , ( Cassie Broadbeck ) , " Ice House " , ' 89 , was put in a position to protect her daughters from wild convicts who escaped . Cassie even told one of the convicts that she would offer herself for sexual favors if they would only leave her two daughters alone and not abuse them . However , the daughters were very willing to cook up some chili and a few tuna fish sandwiches for the convicts pleasure ! Thomas Cavanaugh ( Simpson ) , " Something More " , ' 99 , played a great role as the gang leader who was mean right down to his toes ! This is a very entertaining film and worth watching ! |
416,327 | 663,392 | 466,739 | 10 | Very Entertaining Two Hours | Decided to watch this film on " Lifetime " Channel and was quite surprised with the great acting and a very tricky plot , which kept you just wondering who was the bad guy or girl . The opening scene has lots of blood all over the place as a person gets chopped up like CHOPPED LIVER . The knife is removed and from then on the story has many twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat . Lots of romantic scenes and you will never guess how the picture ends . A divorce lawyer comes to the aid of a client and winds up having to defend her ex-husband who is accused of killing his wife . This is a rather different murder mystery and it is a film that is very worth your while to sit back and ENJOY ! |
416,864 | 663,392 | 43,879 | 10 | Great Ida Lupino & Robert Ryan Classic Film ! ! | Viewed this film years ago and liked the directing of Nicholas Ray , who directed " King of Kings " , ' 61 . During the filming of this picture Nicholas Ray was going through a very steamy divorce and actually needed the talents of Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan to give this film a proper conclusion . Robert Ryan , ( Jim Wilson ) , " The Love Machine " , ' 71 , a detective from the Big City was becoming a NUT CASE , beating up all his criminals and just plain burning out on the JOB ! Jim Wilson was assigned to another case North where he could possibly calm down and mellow out his feelings towards society in general . As the film progressed , I began to wonder when Ida Lupino would appear on the screen as Mary Malden , " Backtrack , " ' 69 . Ida did a fantastic job with her acting role and was completely in the dark in a very strange and old home in the woods . Ward Bond , ( Walter Brent ) , " China Doll " , ' 58 , played a great supporting role in this picture , who was a great actor for many years in Hollywood . This is truly a great 1950's classic film and very enjoyable viewing in Black & White ! |
416,388 | 663,392 | 179,757 | 10 | Fantastic Biography | Simply admire Morgan Freeman ( Malcolm X ) , as a great actor with outstanding talents and a person who puts his very heart and soul into any role he tries to portray . In this film , Morgan stars as a dynamic African-American activist who fought for racial equality during the rough and tough 1960s . Unfortunately , this film only portrays the final twenty-four hours of the civil rights leader's life . Morgan Freeman made you feel the great power that this crusader had within his very soul and how he truly loved his calling to help the poverty stricken people and to bring his race into the light of the entire world . If you like Morgan Freeman and a cast of great actors , please don't miss this film . |
417,589 | 663,392 | 118,753 | 10 | Love Without Money Does Not Work ! | This is a very excellent film for all young gals and guys who feel they are deeply in LOVE and cannot do without each other and just Plain elope and run around until their money runs out . Mark Paul Gosselaar , ( Chris ) , " NYPD Blue " , TV Series'93 , looks very young in this film and gives a great performance as a love sick guy who falls madly in love with Gina Philips , ( Holly Nolan ) , " The Woodsman " , ' 04 . This couple run into all kinds of problems with a truck driver who wants sex in the worst way and there are scenes where this young couple have to sleep in a FLOP HOUSE in LA ! This film clearly shows that falling in love and running away from your families that love you will only cause great harm to everyone involved . There ARE NO FREE HAND OUTS ! ! ! |
416,827 | 663,392 | 118,744 | 10 | Paltrow & Lang Were Excellent | Greatly enjoyed this film and the wonderful photography of New York City and beautiful scenery in various Historical Towns in Virginia , namely : Charlottesville , Culpeper and Orange , Virginia . Jessica Lang , ( Martha Baring ) , " Big Fish " , ' 03 played the very over powering mother-in-law to Gwyneth Paltrow , ( Helen Baring ) , " A Perfect Murder " , ' 98 , who is very much in love with her husband and there are many scenes where they are making love most of the time . Jessica Lang is very protective of her son and even goes through their luggage looking at Helens method of Birth Control . Nina Foch , ( Alice Baring ) , " A Song to Remember " , ' 45 , a great veteran actress , gives very important information to Helen Baring concerning the Baring Family past secrets . If you look close , you will see Hal Holbrook , ( Dr . Franklin Hill ) , " Purpose " , ' 02 , giving advice to Martha Baring concerning prescriptions for horses . If you love Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lang , this film will greatly entertain you from beginning to end . |
416,425 | 663,392 | 66,193 | 10 | Seen This Film Over & Over | Many times I have viewed this film over the years mainly because I am a big fan of Sandy Dennis , ( Gwen Kelleman ) who plays the role of a wife from Ohio and her husband , George Kelleman , ( Jack Lemmon ) who wants to go to New York City for a job position that George would like to have and they encounter many problems that they never expected . This couple find themselves having to sleep in Central Park and are robbed of everything they have and there is plenty more situations that they are faced with . In the beginning of this film Sandy Dennis and Jack Lemmon were flying in from Ohio and landing in a real airport on Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma , New York where I actually worked at the Army Aviation Support Facility # 1 . It was great seeing this entire scene of great movie stars being filmed at this New York Airport . It is a great shame that Sandy Dennis had a very short life which cancer overpowered her , she gave a great performance . |
416,118 | 663,392 | 217,869 | 10 | Great Acting by Bruce Willis ! | Greatly enjoyed the acting performed by Bruce Willis , ( David Dunn ) , " The Whole Ten Yards , " ' 04 , David Dunn was a man who escaped death and was trying to find out WHY ! and what his purpose in life should be . Samuel L . Jackson , ( Elijah Price ) , " South Africa " , ' 04 , tried to find David Dunn in order to direct his life and his destiny . It is very easy to find this film boring if you do not understand the deep Spiritual meaning the director of the film is trying to portray . Bruce Willis and Samuel L . Jackson both had difficult roles to perform and did an outstanding job . The director of this film has also produced another great picture for the Summer called , " The Village " , ' 04 with William Hurt in the starring role . If you love Bruce Willis and his acting , this is the film for YOU ! |

Heggie ) who teaches him to speak . A bride is created ( Elsa Lanchester ) to give him companionship which becomes a horrible relationship from the first look at his face ! Remember reading in the newspaper that Karloff injured his left side during the shooting of the flooded cellar scene and received a special infrared ray treatment . This film has a cast of all time greats , Director James Whale and Cameraman John Mescall along with makeup artist , Jack Pierce . Franz Waxman , who created the musical score use to be employed by Adolf Hitler before WWII . Waxman escaped to America and became a great asset to the movie industry . Karloff did a great job of scaring the children and frightening the women in many movie houses during the mid 1930 ' . Karloff's acting and long career in the movies made it possible for the US Government to place him on a Postal Stamp to honor him as the KING OF HORROR ! This film should be among all horror film fans libraries . |
417,894 | 663,392 | 256,459 | 10 | Great FILM , GREAT ACTORS , WONDERFUL STORY ! ! ! | This film opened my eyes to the very difficult problems that people have to face whether they are young , old , Moms and Dads , daughters and sons who LOVE LIFE AND EACH OTHER in a different way than the average man or woman . This world is full of hate and evil , but we must remember that GOD is LOVE and no human beings can ever stand between anyone who loves each other . Stockard Channing ( Janice ) , " Anything Else " , ' 03 gave a great performance as a mother who had a hard time trying to accept the fact that her daughter was Gay . Ellen Muth ( Jane ) , " A Gentleman's Game , " ' 01 , was the daughter who discovered she had great love to offer , not only for her family but other woman . Ellen Muth gave a great performance and I am sure we will be seeing a great deal of her talents in the future . Kelly Rowan ( Ms . Lynn Walcott ) , " Jet Boy " , ' 01 , was a great English teacher and helped Ellen Muth grow to accept her strong feelings . If you want to see a great honest and down to earth film about being GAY , and all the emotional pain that goes through coming out of the CLOSET , this is a film for people who want to be OPEN MINDED ! |
416,746 | 663,392 | 52,724 | 10 | CAST OF ALL TIME GREAT ACTORS ! | This 1959 black and white Western story had very eerie photography which was about a town with very few people , high in the mountains , snow covered and plenty of fog . It had some very depressing scenes with hardly any groceries on the store shelves and very few bottles of booze behind the bar . Horses and men had trouble walking in the snow and you never knew who was going to kill who , a horse was even killed because it fell and broke his leg . Burl Ives , ( Jack Bruhn ) did not sing a song , but gave orders to his men , and kept them from any women or drink . Bruhn sort of took over the town and layed the law down and had a bullet removed without even a drop of booze to ease the pain . Robert Ryan ( Blaise Starrett ) was in love with a married woman and managed to leave the town and then return as a hero . Tina Louise ( Helen Crane ) was the sweetheart of this film and Elisha Cook Jr . , " I Wake Up Screaming " and " Rosemary's Baby " , was a barber in this picture , however , you never saw him give a haircut , nor his usual bulging eyes and nervous looks . Believe it or not , there was some laughs in this film , especially when the men were allowed to dance with the few local woman , they went wild and just jumped and threw them all around , only to try to get a kiss . This is still a classic film and is worth viewing . |
417,484 | 663,392 | 21,829 | 10 | THIS PICTURE WARMED MY HEART ! | This film brought back great memories of my growing up in NYC and enjoying the wonderful relationships of Jewish families and friends . Their funny jokes and good humor every day . This picture showed in great detail how people struggled and took care of each other no matter who you were . Joe Smith and George Sidney ( Mendel ) gave excellent performances and his wife Ruth Hall ( Lillian ) It is a must see picture , especially when the washing machine is invented ! |
416,510 | 663,392 | 118,715 | 10 | Never Stopped Laughing | Missed seeing this very entertaining film with Jeff Bridges , ( Jeffrey Lebowski , The Dude ) and John Goodman , ( Walter Sobchak ) who are great pals and bowl using every curse word ever used and even more ! Jeffrey Lebowski is a very lazy guy and loves to drink White Russians and manages to get himself involved with a kidnapping of a young girl , named Bunny , ( Tara Reid ) who is married to a very rich older man . A woman named Maude Lebowski , ( Julianne Moore ) wants to have a baby and she decides to make love to Jeffrey who is not his wife and never intends to marry a man , rather way out in left field scene . Steve Busemi , ( Jeffrey Lebowski ) gives a great supporting role . This is a great comedy filled with all kinds of surprises and plenty of shocking words thrown back and forth with each of the actors . |
416,189 | 663,392 | 52,618 | 10 | Ben-Hur'59 vs . The Passion of Jesus Christ ' 04 | Have not viewed " Ben Hur " since it first came out in 1959 , and was thrilled by the great acting of Charlton Heston , ( Judah Ben-Hur ) , " Any Given Sunday " , ' 99 . Heston , portrayed a Jewish man beaten down by the Roman's and even his best friend turned against him and he was a slave on a ship , rowing himself to death . This film was a Hollywood production , but it showed the great Passion of Jesus Christ in different ways that all the family could enjoy , both YOUNG and OLD , were able to view this picture without any : - SHOCK FACTORS ! You could actually see Jesus carrying his CROSS and also hanging on the CROSS which was graphic enough for me ! Sam Jaffe , ( Simonides ) , " Ben Casey " , ' 61 tv series , gave an outstanding supporting role to this picture along with Stephen Boyd ( Messala ) , " Kill " , ' 72 , who passed away early in life and Martha Scott ( Miriam ) , " Sayonara " , ' 57 . Future pictures like this one should be created with more details given to the Life Of Jesus and his great healing powers and the great influence He had while he was living briefly on this earth ! |

417,587 | 663,392 | 264,192 | 10 | One Soul Reaching Another Soul | This was a very soul searching film with great acting by Jane Seymour who played ( Jenny Cole / Mary Sutton , " Touching Wild Horses " , ' 02 . Jenny Cole seems to have troubling dreams about a family in a small town in Ireland where a woman has to put up with a drunkard of a husband and a child abuser . He is told that his wife with lose her life if she has any more children and her husband is too busy drinking to really care .

You will need some tissues to view this film and some belief in the Spiritual World ! |
417,680 | 663,392 | 221,218 | 10 | Leelee Sobieski was Outstanding | Thought at first this film was going to be a slow boring film about a sister and her brother having problems . However , this film took me by surprise and I could hardly believe what Leelee Sobieski ( Ruby Baker ) , " Max " , ' 02 had to go through in her godfather's Glass House , who was 16 years of age and had to share a bedroom with her younger brother . Bruce Dern , ( Begleiter ) , " Madison " , ' 01 , played a foxy old man who offered Ruby Baker a helping hand and got himself into a big mess he never dreamed would happen to him in the House of Glass . The story has many twists and turns and does keep you on the edge of your seats , watching fancy cars going crazy on narrow mountain roads with plenty of sharp turns . Ruby even gets hit on by her godfather and even tries to avoid injections with a needle . Sit back and enjoy this very entertaining film with a great new Hot Star Leelee Sobieski . |
417,697 | 663,392 | 112,703 | 10 | Great John Ritter Film ! | I thought that I had seen all of John Ritter's TV films and movies and this film took me by surprise . It was great seeing John looking so healthy and very sad knowing that he passed on to a stage in HEAVEN and a higher level of experience . John Ritter , ( Rick Knowlton ) , " Manhood " , ' 03 , was a successful business man and wanted to better himself and his wife in a larger home in a crime free neighborhood . Hal Linden , ( Philip Denig ) , " Barney Miller " , ' 75 TV Series , managed to make Rick's dream home become a reality and things were working out just fantastic . June Lockhart , ( Mrs . Billingsley ) , " Lassie " , ' 54 TV Series , helped Ricks children get situated in their new school programs . This is truly a great film with veteran actors and a very interesting and entertaining story . |
416,875 | 663,392 | 39,017 | 10 | One of the Best Classic Sherlock Holmes Films ! | Movie goers in the late 1930's and 40's thought this team of actors performed exactly how Sherlock Holmes was suppose to be in real life . Basil Rathbone , ( Sherlock Holmes ) , " The Black Cat " , ' 41 always gave an outstanding performance and his very appearance added greatly to his role as the famous English detective from London , England . Nigel Bruce ( Dr . John H . Watson ) , " The Corn Is Green " , ' 45 played the sidekick to Holmes and appeared goofy at sometimes . This entire film dealt with a long train ride , running in and out of compartments and even looking into a coffin . Alan Mowbray , ( Maj . Duncan-Bleek ) , " I Wake Up Screaming " , ' 41 gave a great supporting role and kept Dr . Watson busy playing Gin Rummy during the " Lionel Train Ride " in Black & White ! Skelton Knaggs , ( Sands ) , " Bedlam " , ' 46 , put his ugly face into the plot and as always gave a great supporting role . If you love Classic Holmes Films and these great veteran actors , this is just one of the great films Rathbone & Bruce appeared in ! |
417,729 | 663,392 | 35,157 | 10 | Jitterbug / Swing Dancing | This film will bring you way back to the Big Band era and the entire picture is filled with outstanding actors , great musicians and dancers . Glenn Miller , ( Gene Morrison ) played the role of Gene and had to put up with all the band wives and their secret affairs between each other . One of the real trouble makers was Carole Landis , ( Natalie Mercer ) , " I Wake Up Screaming " , who was a big gossip and acted like a big Cat with large claws . Natalie wore outrageous hats with all kinds of flowers on top and did her very best to break up some newly weds who just got married . There was plenty of old time tunes and plenty of jitterbug , or what we call today , SWING DANCING . There are two African American dancers who gave an outstanding performance almost towards the end of film that was very entertaining . Jackie Gleason was a string bass player in the Gene Morrison ( Glen Miller Band ) and said quite a few lines . This is a great Classic Musical Film with all time great jazz players . Enjoy |
418,055 | 663,392 | 17,449 | 10 | Greta Garbo Teased the MEN | Over the years I have seen pictures with Greta Garbo and thought she had that very special talent that brought her to such fame years ago ; the so-called Pin Up Girl of the early 20's and 30's . After viewing this film , I could actually enjoy Greta Garbo playing ( Elena , ) , " Anna Christie " , ' 31 , and truly see her great acting skills in action as she played her role as an evil woman who drained men like a spider , spinning a web for every man she decided to claim as a lover . The expressions in her face and eyes were acting all the time and she also had a great cast of supporting actors . If you looked close , you could see a very young Lionel Barrymore , ( Conterac ) , " The Bells " , ' 26 , not sitting in a wheel chair like in " Key Largo " , but straight and tall . This is truly a great Classic Film from the Silent era and very worth while viewing . |
416,712 | 663,392 | 352,248 | 10 | The Big Fight Era | Heard my grandfather talk about Jim Braddock and what a real down to earth man he was living in New Jersey and this film is truly a great tribute to a down on his luck prize fighter who had a second chance and even fought with the great Joe Lewis . Jim Braddock was played by Russell Crowe and he did one of the best performance I have ever seen , along with the great acting performed by Renee Zellweger as his wife Mae Braddock . There were many great boxers during those years , Willie Peppe , Jack Dempsey , John L . Sullivan , Joe Lewis and the list goes on , but Jim Braddock was truly a great person in real life and a true Champion of the Boxing Profession . Fantastic film to ENJOY |
416,737 | 663,392 | 38,988 | 10 | LIZABETH SCOTT STEALS SCENES ! | Van Helfin and Lizabeth Scott were like a magical couple , lots of romance and steamy scenes which stole the show from the other actors . Kirk Douglas was making his first film debut and was hardly noticed , he was always drunk and over acted throughout the entire picture . Lizabeth Scott was never given great roles to star in and therefore never could have fullfilled her great acting talents . Her films will always have a class all by themselves . |
416,316 | 663,392 | 38,991 | 10 | A Famous Classic Film ! | Whenever Edward G . Robinson appeared in a picture and Orson Welles directed and starred , you could always count on a great film and this particular film will be enjoyed for many generations because of a great plot and fantastic acting . Edward G . Robinson , ( Mr . Wilson ) , " The Red House " , ' 47 played the role of an investigator , looking for a man who committed horrible crimes during WW II and also a missing friend of his who recently visited this town . Mr . Wilson connects himself with the local town people and plays checkers with a man in town who knows just about everything that goes on with everyone in an New England town . Loretta Young ( Mary Longstreet Rankin ) , " Second Honeymoon " , ' 37 , falls in love with Orson Welles , ( Dr . Charles Rankin / Franz Kindler ) , " Butterfly , " , ' 82 and marries the doctor and all kinds of strange things start to happen . Dr . Rankin loves to fix all kinds of clocks and especially a large church steeple clock which has not been working for many years . This story will keep you glued to the silver screen and the ending is very exciting . |
417,113 | 663,392 | 21,770 | 10 | CRIMINAL CODE HELPED KARLOF | Boris Karloff appeared on the stage of the Belasco Theatre , New York City in the role of Galloway in a Martin Flavin stage play . It was a minor part , however , it was an important one : Galloway , the prison trusty who becomes a killer . On the strength of his performance , he was soon cast in the film version . During 1931-32 , twenty-three of his films were released , an average of nearly one a month which included Frankenstein . Criminal Code was the big break Karloff was waiting for and he never gave up acting until the very end . |
417,581 | 663,392 | 43,792 | 10 | A Gem of a Film | This was a film I enjoyed from the beginning of this right to the end because of the funny story and the outstanding cast of great actors . Gene Tierney , ( Maggie McNulty ) , " The Left Hand of God " meets John Lund , ( Val McNulty ) , " Steel Town " and marries him immediately and has never even met his mother . Val McNulty's mother is Thelma Ritter , ( Ellen McNulty ) , " Pillow Talk " , who has a hamburger stand in Jersey City , New Jersey and is running into problems with her business and has to sell her hamburger stand and decides to pack up and visit her son . Ellen arrives at her daughter-in-law's apartment and gets mistaken as a cook who they are seeking to hire for a big party they are going to arrange . It is from this point in the picture that things start to get rather crazy where two mother-in-laws are living with the newlyweds and not realizing that the cook is Val's mother . This is a great 1951 Classic comedy with two great actresses Gene Tierney and Thelma Ritter . Don't miss this film , it is lots of fun to view . |
417,956 | 663,392 | 264,648 | 10 | Great Realistic Film about the U S NAVY | Enjoyed this film because it clearly shows the American public that all Military Forces have a slogan , which is simply : CYA in more ways than one . In this film there had to be a fall guy for a problem of this magnitude , where many lives were lost , and the gay sailors took the brunt of all the blame and were not able to defend themselves . In the picture a Navy Officer clearly pointed out the many problems that existed ; the sailors in the gunnery section were taking parts from one place to repair another problem . The Navy was not allocating any funds for these old Battleships from World War II . James Caan , ( Capt . Fred Moosally did an outstanding acting role and stood up for all the enlisted Naval Personnel and made the stink go away . However , the big wigs in the Naval Department in Washington still stood their own ground . The American public cannot be fooled any long by such incidents and the truth will come out today without any cover ups . Great picture , but very graphic and maybe it needed to be shown . |
417,163 | 663,392 | 105,361 | 10 | Comedy & Drama | Found this film for sale for only one dollar on DVD and enjoyed every minute of the story which involved two young girls who were tourists and wound up getting caught in a sort of triangle . Peter O'Toole , ( Emil Saber ) , " Romeo & Me " , ' 06 was a coin collector and was seeking another coin to increase the value of his collection . Emil was a sort of nut , who would do anything to obtain another coin . Alexandria Powers ( Ronnie ) , " Zigs " , ' 01 was a young boy who went around stealing items from the tourists in order to feed and care for his elderly grandfather . Ally Walker , ( Lisa ) " Happy Texas " , ' 99 and Jill Novick , ( Brenda ) are young ladies who get deeply involved with Ronnie and the nut case , Emil . There are quite a few funny scenes where nudity is shown , especially when men go into a woman's public bath and vice versa . All the actors gave an outstanding performance and it was quite an entertaining film to view and enjoy . |
418,080 | 663,392 | 34,946 | 10 | Reagan Was at his BEST ! | Viewed this film when it was first shown in NYC and our hearts went out to the great acting Ronald Reagan performed in this picture . Reagan wanted this role and was in competition with other great actors who also desired this role , which made Ron work even harder to give an outstanding performance . Claude Rains , ( Dr . Alexander Q . Tower ) , " The Wolfman " , ' 66 , was a famous and great veteran actor of the screen along with Betty Field ( Cassie Tower ) , " Peyton Place " , ' 57 who gave a great supporting role along with Maria Ouspenskaya ( Madame von Eln ) , " The Wolfman " , ' 66 . This film had a great deal of mystery surrounding a small town and told the deep horrors of murder , incest and mental illness that was being hidden behind closed doors . Many of the citizens of the town had many secrets to hide from each other . Robert Cummings played a great role as a very successful young man trying to become a great doctor . However , Ronald Reagan made this one of his greatest acting roles , and brought tears to your eyes through out many scenes ! |
418,059 | 663,392 | 43,751 | 10 | Great Fiction Story of Early Texas Events | Greatly enjoyed this film which is not a documentary film on the history of Texas , but a very enjoyable film with great actors like Clark Gable . Clark Gable plays ( Devereaux Burke ) , " Mogambo " , ' 53 , who wants Texas to become part of the Union and met with Lionel Barrymore , ( Andrew Jackson ) , " Key Largo " , ' 48 , in Washington , and decided to find a very powerful Texan , named Thomas Craden , ( Broderick Crawford ) , " Hightway Patrol " , ' 55 TV Series , who was against Texas from joining the Union and wanted it to remain a LONE STAR STATE . Ava Gardner , ( Martha Ronda ) , " The Snows of Kilimanjaro , " , 52 , who was a very strong willed woman who ran a newspaper and was also a so called girl friend of Thomas Craden which caused great problems between Burke . This is a Hollywood story that is meant to entertain and the veteran actors in this film have created this film into a great black and white Classic . |
416,473 | 663,392 | 167,146 | 10 | Your MOM & DAD are Your Best Friends In The Entire World ! | It is very easy to pick this film a part , and it is probably very easy to say that I would never get trapped like Jordan Ladd , ( Martha Hoagland ) , " Puzzled " , 01 , into an Internet Chat room or my daughter or son would never be that stupid to be lead away from our home by total strangers . If the mom in this picture , Cheryl Ladd , ( Connie Hoagland ) , " Lisa " , ' 90 , had noticed the signs of withdrawal by her daughter when she practically lived in the bedroom and gave complete devotion to the Computer , Jordan would never have faced the problems she faced . She was seeking Love in all the wrong places and the break up with her boyfriend sent her over the edge . This film is reminding us there is always someone in the Internet Chat Rooms who are playing very horrible games and pretending to be someone they really are not . This film pointed out the fact that Mom & Dad's are our best friends , and should be trusted enough to tell our most deepest SECRETS ! Remember , our parents were all very young ONCE , and can really help you with your deepest , darkest PROBLEMS ! Let Them HELP ! |
417,890 | 663,392 | 290,673 | 10 | Excellent Film | This film is everything I had hoped it would be and even more so in many ways . If you want to see a film that portrays men's and women's feelings about life and sex , both straight and gay , this is a film that will enlighten you to what goes on in the minds of men and woman . You will experience titles of the film backwards , gay men enjoying themselves and also hookers having a wonderful time as well as a poor young gal getting raped in horrible graphic details , also a man's face being busted into pieces of blood and gore . There is also a scene about a he / she gal who shows her / his private parts . If all these things interest you or you are curious about what this film is all about and want to view these scenes , by all means try to view it without getting sick . |
416,190 | 663,392 | 52,303 | 10 | A Classic Submarine Picture ! | If you are interested in the way the Navy crew operates under the ocean floors , you will love this great Navy story about how the U . S . Navy was able to out wit the enemy which was Japan during WWII and all the tricks of the trade that were utilized under the very depths of the Pacific Ocean . The photography was great for a 1958 film and Glenn Ford ( Lt . Cmdr . Barney Doyle ) , " Pocket Full of Miracles " , ' 61 , gave a great performance along with some mental blocks that was interfering with his command of his submarine . However , Ernest Borgnine ( Lt . Archer Sloan ) , " Marty " , ' 55 , was a loyal officer to Barney and turned down his own commission as Commander to assist Barney in his hopes to destroy a FLAT TOP ( aircraft carrier ) of the Japanese Navy . There was a very interesting scene where the submarine crew was able to evacuate their sub and be able to surface to another submarine for safety . This is truly a Classic film from the past and I am quite sure some of these events actually happened during WWII . |
416,078 | 663,392 | 240,793 | 10 | NOT LIKE THE TYPICAL BLOOD SUCKING DRACULA FILMS ! | It was very refreshing to view this Dracula film without the sexy women and the two ( 2 ) marks on their neck , like the Bela Lugosi classic films . I could write two-hundred words about this film and even tell you the ending . However , if you are a fan of Jane March ( Lidia ) " Amdnt , L " 91 you will love her performance as the wife of Rudolf Martin ( Vlad the Impaler ) " Swordfish " ' 01 . Lidia plays a young sweet and innocent virgin who plans to become a Nun and is charmed by Vlad and the sparks fly immediately and the baby soon arrives . Peter Weller ( Father Stefan ) " Styx " ' 01 tries to prevent Dracula from spreading his evil in the world , unfortunately , Dracula movies must continue to be produced from one generation to another . If you like History of Dracula , this is the film for you ! ! |
417,982 | 663,392 | 39,312 | 10 | Classic Drama Story | Enjoyed this Classic B & W film with a fisherman's house of stone build high on a hill top , over looking the ocean and a very rocky coast line and plenty of fog . It starts out with Greer Garson , ( Marise Aubert ) , " Strange Lady in Town " , ' 55 , who is see a shrink and has many flash backs . They show two soldier's in the war , one being Richard Hart ( Jean Renaud ) , " Green Dolphin Street " , ' 47 and Robert Mitchem , ( Paul Aubert ) , " Cape Fear " , ' 91 , Paul is married to Marise Aubert and Jean Renaud is a very close friend . Paul shares a great deal of information about his wife with Jean . Eventually the story unfolds and you start to realize there is a rather twisted and demented brain trying to work out an evil plan . George Zucco , ( Father Donnard ) , " Lured " , ' 47 , confronts the evil force and tries to bring shame upon the guilty person involved . It was refreshing not seeing George Zucco play his usual roles in the many horror pictures he appeared in . All the actors gave outstanding performances and this is a really worth while film to view and enjoy . |
417,491 | 663,392 | 39,320 | 10 | KARLOFF IS REALLY GRUESOME ! | Yes , this was a B picture in the late 40's and actors still had to make a living and ( Boris Karloff ) as Gruesome was the best selection by director John Rawlins . It seems a mysterious gas which temporarily paralyzes people falls into the possession of a disreputable doctor , L . E . Thal ( Edward Ashley ) . Realizing the great criminal opportunities of the strange gas , Gruesome , an ex-convict , enlists Thal's aid in a bank robbery . " Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome " is a thriller-diller only because Boris Karloff is the star performer . The picture has Karloff putting his victims in a huge furnace for safekeeping . Chester Gould , the creator of the comic-strip was proud of this picture in 1947 . |
418,077 | 663,392 | 56,671 | 10 | Cast of Great Actors ! | Greatly enjoyed this B & W Film and the wonderful performances of all the leading actors . Jan Fonda , ( Hallie Gerard ) , " The 7th Dawn " , gave an outstanding performance jumping in and out of box cars on the railroad , sleeping in large conduit and being very very sexy , young and pretty . Hallie meets Laurence Harvey ( Dave Linkhorn ) , " Welcome to Arrow Beach " , ' 74 , a drifter going on his way to New Orleans , La . , to find his long lost sweetheart . Dave however , shares a night in the outdoors like a homeless person with his new found friend Hallie . The couple run into kind hearted Anne Baxter ( Teresina Vidaverri ) , " Jane Austen in Manhattan " , ' 80 , who has a nice Spanish diner and helps the couple get on their way to New Orleans . Barbara Stanwyck , ( Jo Courtney , " The Night Walker " , ' 65 runs a brothel where Dave's girlfriend seems to have employment . This is a worthwhile Classic film to view along with fantastic acting ! |
417,310 | 663,392 | 48,124 | 10 | Delightful Film | This film presented a different story than the original we all associate with a slipper and having to return at Mid-Night . Leslie Caron , ( Ella ) played the role as a girl who became a servant in her own home and was treated poorly by her mother and two sisters . Ella was the laugh of the town because she always looked dirty from ashes she had to handle along with all the other menial duties she had to perform on a daily basis . When Prince Charles , ( Michael Wilding ) arrives in town after many years going to college , he eventually meets up with Ella who he remembers when she was a very little girl . There is plenty of dancing and Ella performs a great ballet performance along with Prince Charles . Estelle Winwood , ( Mrs . Toquet ) played the role as a fairy god mother and gave a great supporting role . This is a great entertaining film and is rather delightful to view . |
416,155 | 663,392 | 368,730 | 10 | Hallmark Gave Frankenstein a New Face LIFT ! | Any time " Frankenstein " is shown , whether in 1931 or to this present day , this story will remain basically the same , however , in this TV presentation , Hallmark gave the story more reality with its great photography of the countryside and the local people who were very colorful and enjoyable to view . Luke Goss , ( Creature ) , " Cold & Dark " , ' 04 , gave an outstanding performance as a man made creature who has to learn his lessons about life from a mother teaching her little girl in the backyard . Alec Newman , ( Victor Frankenstein ) , " Bright Young Things " , ' 03 , brought a frog back to life and a dog and drove his professor , William Hurt , ( Waldman ) , " Body Heat " , ' 81 , absolutely CRAZY trying to tell him he could bring the dead back to life . The professor kept telling him over and over , " God is the only Person to Give LIFE " . I enjoyed seeing Donald Sutherland , ( Captain Walton ) , " A Time to Kill " , ' 96 appearing on a sort of Ghost Ship sitting in foggy , ice bound waters . I will always love Boris Karloff as Frankenstein , in 1931 , however , this was a great attempt to make Frankenstein more up to date with this CENTURY ! |
417,691 | 663,392 | 52,242 | 10 | Excellent Film About Drugs | This film reminded me about a film called , " The Man with the Golden Arm " starring Frank Sinatra and Kim Novack and this film clearly shows the horrors of withdrawal from the drug of heroin . Three young men get involved with a suitcase that holds a very large supply of uncut heroin and wind up throwing it away , thinking it was a cleansing powder and it winds up in a garbage dump which they manage to rescue . The young men decided to sell this drug and are able to make plenty of money by filtering it out through and old time heroin user . There are some girl friends in this film who try to stop these guys and tell them to turn the drugs into the police , but they do not face the consequences of turning themselves in . This is a great 1958 classic film filmed in Los Angeles , California and there is also some pretty way out music through out the film that makes this a very exciting black and white film . |
417,420 | 663,392 | 43,709 | 10 | Ethel Barrymore gave a Fantastic Performance ! | Ethel Barrymore , ( " The Spiral Staircase " ' 46 ) , gave one of her greatest performances as an old lady captured in her home with all her favorites treasures along with other film greats like : - Maurice Evans , ( " Beneath the Planet of the Apes " ' s ' 70 , Angela Lansbury , ( Mrs . Edwards ) " Murder She Wrote " , ' 03 and Keenan Wynn , son of Ed Wynn the veteran comedian of the ' 30's and 40's . Every film that Ethel Barrymore ever appeared in was a great success because of her great family of actors , John , Lionel and presently Drew . |
416,324 | 663,392 | 35,034 | 10 | Telephone Line At Work ! | Missed this great Black & White Film Classic with Edward G . Robinson , George Raft and a great cast of Classic Actors ! In this film Edward G . Robinson , ( Hank ' Gimpy'McHenry ) , " The Red House " , ' 47 , is the boss of a gang of linemen who have the hard task of putting up electric and telephone lines . George Raft , ( Johnny Marshall ) , " Red Light " , ' 49 , plays a rough guy who looks after his buddy ' Gimpy ' and does not like Marlene Dietrich , ( Fay Duval ) , " Touch of Evil " , ' 58 who is an all around the town gal . Gimpy falls deeply in love with Fay and wants to marry her in the worst way , even if she does not love him . This is an entirely different story and the all the great actors make this a truly great Classic film from the 40's . ! |
416,562 | 663,392 | 35,015 | 10 | Cast of Classic Giants of the Silver Screen | When I first viewed this film I was very impressed and as the years past , I see that many generations have felt the same way about a masterpiece of American Film Production . Orson Wells put his complete heart and soul into the production of this film ; it certainly topped all his other films . It seems Wells loved Joseph Cotton who appeared in this film as , Eugene , " Niagra " , ' 53 , who was very deeply in love with Dolores Costello , ( Isabel ) , " Outside These Walls " , ' 39 , who was simply beautiful in those days and was a very elegant lady and sweet as sugar . Ann Baxter , ( Lucy ) , " The Blue Gardenia " , ' 52 , was full of joy and pep in this film and also fell in love with Tim Holt , ( George ) , " Hot Lead " , 51 . However , poor Lucy seemed to wait and wait for George to decide how he was ever going to earn a living , and did not really want to do anything in life except live and love his MOTHER . Enjoyed the great acting of Agnes Moorehead , ( Fanny ) , " Bewitched " , ' 64 TV Series , who played a spinster and added greatly to her supporting role . Glad I viewed this film again , it had deeper meaning to me this time around . Tim Holt was always a cowboy to me and appeared in many Westerns , in this film he completely surprised me , except when he was in the horse and carriage with Lucy ! |
417,760 | 663,392 | 66,420 | 10 | Susan George Looked Great in 1970 | If you like a good thriller this is the film for you , there are scenes which will keep you glued to your seats . Ziggy , ( Mark Lester ) plays the role as a little boy who has an older sister named Pippa , ( Susan George ) and they live with their grandfather who lives in a lighthouse on the Island of Malta . Ziggy has a great imagination and many times tell stories that are not true and no one really believes anything he tells them . One day Ziggy sees an assassination and also knows what he looks like and can identify this person who is in high authority on Malta . Ziggy is hunted down by this person and no one will believe him when he tries to tell his sister Pippa , they all get mad at him except his grandfather . Susan George looked radiant and very charming playing a great role along with a great child star , Mark Lester . Don't miss this film , it is great entertainment . |
416,113 | 663,392 | 91,605 | 10 | A Novice Monk Has Sex & Falls in " LOVE " ! ! | Always enjoying Sean Connery films , I some how missed this film and became completely absorbed in the entire plot . Sean Connery ( William of Baskerville ) , " Finding Forrester " , 2000 , played an outstanding and difficult role trying to teach his young student monk , Christian Slater , ( Ados von Melk ) , " Mindhunters " , ' 04 , who was seduced by a young peasant gal and immediately fell deeply in love with her . Ados even prayed to the Virgin Mary to save her from being burned as a witch . There was plenty of horrible looking monks running all around and plenty of secret passage ways . In order to open one secret panel , you had to press the eyes of a SKULL . William & Ados did their very best to try and locate some very forbidden books which dealt with Laughing and Comedy . This film would make a very excellent film to view at Halloween if you want to spend a very boring evening inside ! ! |
416,251 | 663,392 | 70,215 | 10 | Unbelievable Western | Definitely missed this Henry Fonda film and was very glad that I caught it on late night TV . I could hardly believe all the great humor and drama portrayed in this Italian Western . After watching this film for a few minutes , you are unable to determine in just what direction the film is going to take . A poor local town barber and his son seem to get into a big mess of things , when a few bad bad cowboys decided to go to get a shave or just plain trouble . In another scene you see Terance Hill , ( Nobody ) , " Renegade " , ' 87 , take an apple away from a baby and eat the entire apple and gave it back to the child . Henry Fonda , ( Jack Beauregard ) , " Fedora " , ' 78 is a man who is burned out from being a gunslinger and wants very desperately to go to New Orleans and simply Retire . There is a hold up of a Federal Reserve Train and a wild scene of two guys in a latrine , looking face to face and trying to relieve themselves . This is a must see film , you will greatly enjoy watching and especially if you are a Henry Fonda fan . |
416,217 | 663,392 | 108,717 | 10 | Great Medieval Mystery Series | Enjoyed this series of " Cadfael " which ran on TV in 1994 about a monk named Brother Cadfael , ( Derek Jacobi ) who gives Spiritual help and heals the wounded and sick and also is a detective who delves into the human soul and manages to get criminals and evil people to either turn over a new way of living or just face their punishment and be hanged or sent to prison . In one of these TV Series , " The Devil's Novice " a young man decides to enter the monastery and become a monk and he is questioned about why he wants to become a monk and at night he seems to have nightmares and starts screaming and causing all kinds of problems which make the monks think he is possessed by the Devil . However , it turns out that this young man was in love with his brother's girl-friend and his heart was broken and his father suggested he go immediately to the monastery and become a monk . Brother Cadfael searches this young man's heart and soul and finds very dark deep secrets which involves many other people in his family . |
417,631 | 663,392 | 26,426 | 10 | LOTS OF INFIDELITY AND LIES ! | Enjoyed viewing this great film classic and the great acting of Kay Francis ( Georgiana Summers ) , " Play Girl " , ' 41 who loved to fool around with George Brent ( " Bob " McNear ) , " The Great Lie " , ' 41 who was a married man . It seemed that everyone else in the picture played husband and wife with lots of infidelity and everyone telling little white lies about who is married to who and why we have to have different rooms to sleep in and why we have twin beds in our rooms . It seems that being divorced was a very evil thing and talking about their " EX " husbands was the in THING ! . Genevieve Tobin ( Betty Summers ) , " The Petrified Forest " , ' 36 and John Eldridge ( Lawrence Thurston ) , " Superman " , ' 73 enjoyed stealing automobiles ( coupe type ) and even going into being a jewel thief . It was great viewing this film and seeing just what people were watching during the YEAR 1935 . This film was probably considered X rated . The old gas stations , furniture and women's fashions , plus the modern auto's in the 1930's made this a great film classic with all these young actors starting out in their film careers . |
418,173 | 663,392 | 39,211 | 10 | Lawrence Tierney was EVIL in this FILM ! | First viewed this film in 1947 , and Lawrence Tierney ( Sam Wilde ) " Dillinger " ' 45 , terrified me with his evil eyes and hateful expressions , Sam Wilde truly portrayed a man without a soul and created before your very eyes a cold blooded killer who stopped at nothing . Walter Slezak ( Albert Arnett ) followed him around and quoted from the Bible and at the same time , was a crook himself . Walter Slezak was an unappreciated great actor who gave a great performance in " Wonderful Life " ' 64 and unfortunately took his own life . Claire Trevor ( Helen Brent ) " Key Largo " ' 48 could not make up her mind between lovers , but deep down loved and identified with Sam Wilde . Elisha Cook Jr . , ( Marty Waterman ) " I Wake Up Screaming " ' 41 , was Sam Wilde's henchman , who did all of his dirty work and had a great deal of trouble on the sand dunes with an old lady . In 1967 , I ran into Lawrence Tierney in a bar on Broadway , NYC and bought him a beer , he was a construction worker at the time with a hard hat , and was a great down to earth guy , however , you had to weigh your words with him . Lawrence Tierney performed the best Dillinger film that ever came out of Hollywood , this film is a great classic which will be seen for many generations to view and enjoy ! |
416,108 | 663,392 | 43,643 | 10 | Great Cast of Classic ACTORS ! | This B & W film is a great film to view because of the many famous actors who contributed their great acting skills . Robert Mitchum ( Dan Milner ) , " BackFire " , ' 95 , gave a great performance as usual . Vincent Price , ( Mark Cardigan ) , " Edward Scissorhands " , ' 90 , provided humor and drama to his supporting role in this film . Jane Russell , ( Liz Brady ) , " Darker Than Amber " , ' 70 , provided sexual charm to all the gentleman she met , along with dresses that showed plenty of Jane , nothing like the " OutLaw " 1947 . Raymond Burr , ( Nick Ferraro ) played a real bad bad gangster from Chicago and if you look close , you will see Jim Backus , famous for the voice of Mr . Magoo ! Great entertaining of the 1950's ! ENJOY . |
416,764 | 663,392 | 66,473 | 10 | Not Just an Event in a History Book ! | Every time I see this picture , I relive the horrible event that took place on Sunday , Dec 7 , 1941 and the way in which people reacted to the news over the RADIO ( no TV's in those days ) It was the same way America heard about , but people were able to actually view this HORROR ! This film is one of the best true stories of what actually did happen and how America was unprepared for the attack . This was not history for me and my family which makes it hurt every time I visit the site of Pearl Harbor on Veteran's Day ! Martin Balsam ( Admiral Husband E . Himmel ) , " Psycho " , ' 60 , learned well in advance that Japan had plans to attack America , not knowing the exact position . Jason Roberts , ( Lt . General Walter C . Short ) , " F . D . R . The Last Year " , ' 80 ( TV ) was very ill informed and was not capable to utilize his great ability to assist in stopping the blood shed ! There was too much Red Tape and America did not really want to get involved with Japan , as well as fighting with Nazi Germany ! Joseph Cotton , ( Sec . of War , Henry L . Stimson ) , " Niagara " , ' 53 and E . G . Marshall ) ( Lt . Colonel Rufus G . Bratton ) , " Town Without Pity " , ' 62 gave great supporting roles . Some of the airplane fighting between Japan and America was not very realistic . The Japanese Air Force was short on fuel for their planes , and they were just able to drop their bombs and if they ran out of fuel , they flew their planes into the ships and buildings in order to accomplish their mission . The Japanese Aircraft Carrier was able to get them as close as they could , but fuel was a problem for the Navy & Air Force at the time . As early as 1937 , the Japanese Nation invaded China , where they did horrible crimes against the People of China , " The Rape of Nanking " was remembered in the War Crimes Court after the War . This is a very good film about WAR , and I hope and pray that WAR among people and Nations will come to an END ! Unfortunately , Harry S . Truman , President of the U . S . had to drop the " A Bomb " on Japan and caused more death and destruction ! It is a shame that both nations had to suffer because of lack of communication and understanding ! We will always need the United Nations ! |
417,097 | 663,392 | 105,236 | 10 | Lawrence Tierney Gave a Great Performance ! | This film is truly a great classic film and all the actors gave a realistic and down to earth performance . However , this was really a great come back film for Lawrence Tierney , who had to fight a very powerful chemical dependency which prevented him from becoming a greater film actor than he was given credit for . In my estimation , this was Tierney's Hollywood Oscar for his role playing " Joe Cabot " . He will always be remembered as a great " John Dillinger " 1945 ! |
416,398 | 663,392 | 39,204 | 10 | A Great John Garfield Film ! | Every one of John Garfield's ( Charlie Davis ) , " He Ran all the Way " , ' 51 , films was outstanding and in this picture he did a fantastic job as a boxer struggling to make a living in very poor surroundings in New York City along with his mother , Anne Revere ( Anna Davis ) , " Birch Interval " , ' 77 , who tired to go on welfare but her son Charlie would not hear of it and decided to reach to the top of the boxing field . His girlfriend , Lilli Palmer , ( Peg Born ) , " The Other Side of the Wind " , ' 72 , played a great supporting role . However , Lilli Palmer was not exactly the greatest person to play this character . Greatly admired John Garfield and all his films , unfortunately he died making love and his career came to a sudden END ! |
416,775 | 663,392 | 47,954 | 10 | Excellent Film | This is the very first time I viewed this film and it held my interest from the very beginning of the film to the very end . Van Heflin , ( Luke Fargo ) plays the role of a Civil War soldier who returns to his home town and is very well known for his past with wine , women and song . Luke takes it upon himself to become a minister and set up a church which had been burned down to the ground . The rectory was still standing but a wild young girl was living in the house and was using a shot gun mainly at Luke's head and did not want him anywhere near her home as she called it . This wild young gal's name is Lissy , ( Joanne Woodward ) who never takes a bath and is a typical tom boy so to speak . There is a bad dude in town named Yancey Huggins , ( Raymond Burr ) who hates Luke and does everything in his power to destroy Luke's chances of building a church and accuses Luke of living with a girl under age and things not be fitting a man of the cloth . There is lots of laughs and some very dramatic scenes which makes this film a great family film and very worth your while to view this picture from 1955 . |
417,093 | 663,392 | 91,411 | 10 | GOOD CLEAN CLASSIC FILM | Susan George and Mickey Rooney gave an excellent performance and Susan's love of horses made it very enjoyable . A great film , because it was pure and a sweet story and relaxing to watch . Susan George showed her age from Illness , but still gave a great performance . |
417,929 | 663,392 | 43,608 | 10 | Outstanding Western from 1951 | This film starring Tim Holt had a great story and was not just one of the mill old time Western . This story starts out with a young boy named Chip Martin , ( Harper Carter ) and his father who are traveling through the countryside and heading into town . The father wants to visit a man named Matt Potter , aka Curt Landry , ( Mauritz Hugo ) who cheated him out of his mining investment and he seeks out Curt to get back all the funds . Curt gives the father two-thousands dollars as a down payment and plans to make a settlement . However , as soon as Chip Martin and his father leave he sends men after him and they take the law into their own hands and hang the young boys father . There is plenty of action and Mauritz Hugo gave an outstanding performance . Joan Dixon , ( Terry Blake ) gave an outstanding supporting role and female charm to this film . Don't miss this one . |
416,860 | 663,392 | 171,363 | 10 | Great Entertaining Film ! | Always enjoy a film which takes place in an old castle with all fantastic antiques from the past and the huge doors and large rooms with all kinds of creepy hidden mysteries surrounding these dwellings . The photography through out the picture was great and the acting of Catherine Zeta Jones , ( Theo ) , " Chicago " , ' 02 , was very outstanding . Theo was very sexy and showed her great beauty in all the modern fashions that she wore in many of the scenes . Liam Neison , ( Dr . David Marrow ) , " Gangs of New York " , ' 02 gave a great supporting role and appeared as a very confused Doctor who had a bad experience climbing on a spiral staircase ! Bruce Dern , ( Mr . Dudley ) , " Madison " , ' 01 , was a mysterious grounds keeper who gave a few quick chills as he opened and closed the huge castle gates . If you love Catherine Zeta Jones , this is the film for you ! |
416,512 | 663,392 | 30,241 | 10 | Super Film to View | Katherine Hepburn , ( Linda Seton ) is a young girl who's father is a millionaire and also has another daughter named Julia Seton , ( Doris Nolan ) and they get along with each other until one day when Julia meets up with Johnney Case , ( Cary Grant ) and they fall in love . Johnney does not realize that he is fallen in love with a very rich young lady and when he calls on her in order to ask for her fathers permission to marry Julia he is quite surprised with the large home in which they all dwell in . It seems that both of these daughters seem to fall in love with Johnney Case and Linda tries to hide this fact and encourages Julia to marry Johnney . There is some problems that occur between wanting to make money all your life or just get off the merry-go-round and be just an ordinary person and take time to enjoy the real pleasures of living . Great film with great acting and truly a great film Classic . |
418,018 | 663,392 | 26,388 | 10 | Brent & Davis were Great Together | Greatly enjoyed this Betty Davis film which I had never viewed and found Davis at her very best in appearance and in a very light hearted role she portrayed as Ellen Garfield . I believe Davis was around 27 years of age when she appeared in this film and she was very charming and had a good supporting actor , George Brent , ( Curt Devlin ) who was a star reporter for his newspaper and was in competition with Ellen Garfield to get the big scoop or headline stopper for their respective newspapers . This couple were also love birds who had intentions to get married only under certain terms they agreed upon together , a sort of contest that would lead to some very important big steps in their lives . Veteran actor Roscoe Karns , ( Toots O'Grady ) was the photographer for Curt Devlin and gave a great supporting comical role through out the entire picture . This is a very enjoyable 1935 Classic film and I believe that Davis and Brent both gave outstanding performances . Enjoy . |
416,693 | 663,392 | 39,192 | 10 | Those Poor Nuns | Somehow I seemed to have missed this film about some nuns who were directed to a very mysterious place high up in the mountains where only the wind blew constantly and where very strange people dwelled . This film could very well have been banned by the Church in 1947 , however , I found it very interesting and with outstanding acting by all the actors . Deborah Kerr , ( Sister Clodagh ) , " Eye of the Devil " , ' 67 , was the Mother-Superior , and very young to hold this position among the other nuns . Jean Simmons , ( Kanchi ) , " How to Make An American Quilt " , ' 95 , played a very young hot to trot gal who wore very pretty nose rings , which must have made a big hit in 1947 in comparison to 2006 . There was one nun , Kathleen Byron , ( Sister Ruth ) who some what loses her composure and acts like she would really like to have Fun . Enjoyable film , but still very strange and mysterious ; I can hardly believe it was produced and directed in 1947 on a low budget at the Pinewood Studios in England . |
417,644 | 663,392 | 91,445 | 10 | Great Film with Lots of DEEP INNER FEELINGS ! | Greatly enjoyed this film which delves into the personal lives of a young geek looking guy named Corey Haim ( Lucas ) , " Busted " , ' 96 , who pretends to be an entirely different person and falls deeply in love with Kerri Green ( Maggie ) , " Three for the Road " and is the new girl in town who happens to run into Lucas on a tennis court . Charlie Sheen , ( Cappie ) , " No Code of Conduct " , ' 98 , is a close friend to Lucas and tries to protect him from all the BULLIES who love to pester him on a daily basis . Courtney Thorne Smith , ( Alise ) , " Side Out " , ' 90 , is Cappie's girlfriend who is very attractive and becomes jealous of Maggie . Winona Ryder ( Rina ) , " Lost Souls " , 2000 , is very pretty and is very much in love with Lucas , but he just does not seem to feel the same way towards her . There is lots of comedy and dramatic scenes and fantastic acting which tells a cute story and has some very deep feelings which teenagers encounter in real life ! |
418,152 | 663,392 | 39,190 | 10 | Great Christmas Special Film from 1947 | Enjoyed this film years ago and recently viewed this film on TCM and enjoyed this great Classic film where Cary Grant , ( Dudley ) plays the role as an angel who visits Bishop Henry Brougham , ( David Niven ) . It seems that Bishop Henry is in trouble with his wife and they are sort of drifting apart because of his concerns of trying to help a very rich lady who wants to build a huge cathedral in memory of her husband . As soon as the Bishop prays , Dudley appears and he introduces himself and tells him he is an angel who wants to be his assistant and help him solve some of his problems . Julia Brougham , ( Loretta Young ) plays the role as the Bishop's wife and she loves him very much but the Bishop never seems to have any time to be with her . This film is full of comedy , drama and romance and Cary Grant and Loretta Young have a great chemistry between them and they make this film a gem of a classic to enjoy . |
416,758 | 663,392 | 47,885 | 10 | Depicts the Same Problems , Only with Police in the Hallways ! | This is a great classic film with great veteran actors who portrayed the horrible conditions that teachers have to face in the larger cities and small towns . Glenn Ford ( Richard Dadier ) , " Pocket Full of Miracles " , ' 61 , started out as a young teacher who actually had to learn the hard way about teaching in the BIG CITY ! Anne Francis ( Anne Dadier ) , " Born Again " , ' 78 went through hell trying to teach the ABC's to her classes in more ways that one ! Louis Calhern ( Jim Murdock ) , " The Asphalt Jungle " , ' 50 , was the more experienced teacher and turned his back on many things and eventually became a broken down teacher by the STUDENTS ! Sidney Poiter , ( Gregory W . Miller ) , " A Raisin in the Sun " , ' 61 stole the entire picture with his great performance and great acting skills . Things have changed in many ways since this picture was made , however , we still had horrible events through out our country in High Schools and the only solution is having Guards and Policemen patrol the hallways and even putting up Metal Detectors at the school doors ! Lets hope the situation is being put under control . Thank God it is not happening in every school in AMERICA ! Have things really changed since this picture was made , 49 years ago ? |
416,293 | 663,392 | 12,938 | 10 | Great Look Back in the Past | Viewing this Classic film from the 1920's was fascinating and especially viewing Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino both in the same picture was very unusual in films during the Silent Era . Rudolph Valentino was the heart throb of all the young girls and ladies and Gloria Swanson was very petite and cute looking and had a certain spark to her acting skills . Rudolph Valentino , ( Lord Bracondale ) , played the playboy which he was in real life and gave an outstanding performance trying to win the heart and soul of Gloria Swanson , ( Theodora Fitzgerald ) . Theodora was married to an old man with a beer barrel belly and very rich , but he did deeply love Theodora and would do anything to make her very happy . This is a rare picture that was lost and restored in the Netherlands . If you like Classic Silent films and great film stars , this is the film for you . |
416,065 | 663,392 | 91,468 | 10 | A Must See Film | This film opens up with a sports car going at high speeds through narrow roads and almost running into cars and then this car turns off on a lonely road in Arkansas . The car then proceeds to run through streams in the woods and making its on path through woods and bushes and then the driver leaves the car and you see this same car sitting in the same position through all seasons of Winter , Spring , Summer and Fall . The driver of the car is Robert Logan , ( Recluse Lawyer ) who lives like a hermit in the woods with only the bare essentials of living alone with his dog . Kathleen Quinlan , ( Grace Freemont ) is a teacher and one of her students shows her pictures of this hermit and she becomes very interested in him and decides to visit him in the woods . This story has a great deal more to tell and full of suspense and horror . Kathleen Quinlan gave an outstanding performance as well as Robert Logan . Enjoy . |
417,889 | 663,392 | 108,556 | 10 | Lots of Thrilling Moments | This film starts out with a babysitter going to a home she has never visited and the parents rush off , as they are late . The poor baby sitter , tells the parents that she will find the room where the children are sleeping , a young boy and girl . As the babysitter looks at TV and then decides to do her homework , she hears a knock on the door , and a mysterious man speaks through the door and asks for help and assistance as his car broke down and he needs to make a telephone call . It is from this point on in the story and five ( 5 ) years later , that the horror really starts to begin . However , a great deal of this Horror still remains in the brain of the babysitter . Great acting by Carol Kane , ( Jill Johnson ) , and Charles Durning , ( John Clifford ) . |
417,629 | 663,392 | 30,277 | 10 | KARLOFF PLAYS A DIFFERENT ROLE ! | This film starts out with Pvt . Eddie Pratt ( Eddie Craven ) , " Down Missouri Way " , ' 46 manages to bring his new bride , Sally ( Marie Wilson ) , " My Friend Irma " TV Series , ' 52 on to Powder Island Arsenal , a government reservation . He tries to hide her in a vacant building , the military discover a murdered body of an officer . After intense investigations and mysterious attempts are made on the lives of the Army officers in charge , every member on the post falls under suspicion . Colonel Rogers ( Cy Kendall ) , " Call Northside 777 " , ' 48 assists in the investigation and recognizes one of the civilians , Jevries ( Boris Karloff ) , " Bedlam " ' 46 , to be an embezzler who was arrested years ago . It is also revealed that the murdered man was his enemy . Found out this picture was based on a 1937 Broadway play , " Without Warning " and actor Eddie Craven repeated his original stage role in this picture . Warner Bros . remade this film five years later as " Murder on the Waterfront " . I was amazed to see that Boris Karloff played an entirely different role as a Number One Bogie Man , ( Frankenstein ) and noticed that his role was a sympathetic one , meek , mild . I believe the audiences felt sorry for him in this picture . As always , Boris gave a great performance . This is a great Classic Film to view . |
416,109 | 663,392 | 206,314 | 10 | Very Entertaining FILM ! ! | Was unable to leave my chair when I viewed this film and was greatly entertained by Steve Zahn , ( Fuller Thomas ) , " Speak " , ' 04 , who gave a great performance along with his calmer brother , Paul Walker , ( Lewis Thomas ) , " Timeline " , ' 03 , who had a very charming and sexy girl acquaintance , Leelee Sobieski ( Venna ) , " Uprising " , ' 03 , who was a college student he was going to pick up and drive home . Fuller has to make a side trip in order to get his brother out of jail and then the plot begins to go wild . There is a weird truck driver they talk to on their CB and then Fuller and Lewis decided to tease this driver and all Hell breaks loose . This film will keep you on the edge of your seat in more ways than one . There is even bare male butts running around a gas station and food establishment . Leelee Sobieski was very pretty and looked a great deal like actress Helen Hunt . Enjoy ! ! |
417,059 | 663,392 | 105,291 | 10 | The Best Ruby Story ! | When I first watched the real Jack Ruby kill Oswald on the TV screen , we all felt like Jack was a hero and this picture came very close in telling the actual truth about what really went on in the White House , in Cuba , and all the so called HOODS involved . Danny Aiello , ( Jack Ruby ) , " Mambo Cafe " , 2000 , was the perfect choice to play the way Jack Ruby really looked and acted , I am sure Danny Aiello did a great deal of homework studying Ruby's characteristics . Sherilyn Fenn , ( Candy Cane ) , " Lonelife " , ' 97 , put a big sparkle into the film with her sexy figure , she looked just like M . Monroe ! Veteran actor Marc Lawrence , ( Santos Alicante ) who has performed in 178 films playing mostly gangsters and real bad guys gave a great supporting role . In my estimation , this is a great film about JACK RUBY ! |
417,058 | 663,392 | 47,898 | 10 | A CLASSIC LUGOSI FILM ! | In this film Bela Lugosi was the first to be harmed . Lugosi tried to make an atomic superman but what he got was Tor Johnson , a bald and bulgy wrestler . There is no doubt that this is a B Film from the middle 1950's , however , we must remember that Bela Lugosi ( Dr . Erick Vornoff ) , " The Black Sleep " , ' 56 , was one the greatest Classic Horror actors besides Boris Karloff . These films were Mr . Lugosi's last pictures before he went on to another Spiritual Stage ! His last picture was playing Dracula 1966 ! You can pick a part this picture all you want to , but always remember that Bela Lugosi will out live EVERYONE ! ! Bela Lugosi was trying to make a come back after having been a drug addict for years and these films helped him to try and gain his self-respect ! ! ! ! |
417,431 | 663,392 | 52,357 | 10 | Kim Novak was Radiant | Have not seen this film in a very long time and greatly enjoyed the great acting by Kim Novak , ( Madeline Elster / Jude Barton ) . I also enjoyed the great film locations in San Francisco , California where I lived for a few years and recognized all the places that took place in this film . Alfred Hickcock did an outstanding job of directing this film and in most of his films , he loves beautiful blonde's and he sure pick a great actress in this film . Detective , Scottie Ferguson is asked by a long time good friend to keep an eye on his wife because she has started acting very peculiar . Scottie has just retired from the police force because of a problem he encountered chasing a fugitive on a high building and he developed vertigo . Scottie follows Madeline Elster all over San Francisco and even saving her from jumping into San Francisco Bay . These two people begin to fall in love with each other and that is when the plot gets very interesting . This is a great film you can watch over and over again over the years . Enjoy . |
416,857 | 663,392 | 91,474 | 10 | GREAT HORROR FILM ! | This film kept my interest from beginning to end . The great film direction and fantastic talents of the music composer , Michael Rubini , gave great mysterious musical sounds , like organ music . Mr . Rubini composed great music for the " Tales from The Crypt " , ' 89 TV Series and " Hitchhiker " , ' 03 . William L . Petersen ( FBI Agent Will Graham ) , " The Skulls " 2000 , appeared slim and trim in this picture and was starting out his career as a profiler and CSI expert long before the TV show ever was conceived in the minds of TV Producers . Dennis Farina Jack Crawford ) , " Stealing Harvard " , ' 02 , gave a great supporting role to Will Graham with his mid-west Chicago accent . Tom Noonan , ( Francis Collarhyde ) , " Madness & Genius " , ' 03 , played the very sick Monster who had to put in a pair of Dental Plates in order to put a few BITES into his victims ! Kim Greist , ( Molly Graham ) , " ZOE " , ' 01 , was the supportive wife to Will Graham , she had a hard time trying to get him to retire and find time to talk to his son , which was down the isles of a food store . In one of the scenes Will Graham is standing on a dock over looking a sunset over a lake with the mournful sound of a passing train which gave a very creepy feeling up and down my spine . This is a great film to sit back and enjoy . |
417,175 | 663,392 | 100,935 | 10 | LAURA DERN FOLLOWS IN FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS ! ! | As a great fan of Laura Dern and her father Bruce Dern , I have always loved their great acting skills and in this picture Laura as Lula , kept this movie really moving with fantastic WILD dancing , red hot sex scenes along with Nicolas Cage ( Sailor ) who tried real hard to keep up with Lula's every desire even though she had visions of the good and bad witch from the Wizard of Oz . Lula was a very unusual role to play , who loved her man more than anything else in this entire world and it was great to see that Sailor finally found his place in her life along with his cute son . Dern fans , this is a must and if you admired and respect Nicolas Cage's great talents , view this film over and over . |
417,298 | 663,392 | 56,732 | 10 | Actors all Had B O ! | This certainly was a very unusual film where people are invited to dinner and as they no sooner reach the front door and enter , quite a few of the servants decide all of a sudden to just up and leave the entire dinner affair and their jobs . You can only find this film more like a comedy , with people complaining because they just can't seem to leave the darn dinning room . All the characters in the film also seem to complain about each other having a bad Body Odor . There was some sexual fooling around and a few sheep wandering all around the place and a big bad bear who was as frustrated as the people who came for a dinner . One lady had a roaster claws in her purse and somebody was using an electric razor on a lady's legs . If you really want to watch actors doing a fantastic job of acting and a film that repeats itself over and over again . Watch This ONE ! |
417,623 | 663,392 | 43,456 | 10 | GREAT SCIENCE FICTION CLASSIC ! | Have not viewed this film in years and was amazed at how well made this picture was for the year 1951 . It depicts what was going on in th 50's , clothing , cars and the strong desire to see world peace . Michael Rennie ( Klaatu / Carpenter , " The Third Man " , ' 59 TV series ( as Harry Lime ) gave an outstanding performance as a very calm and gentle person from SPACE . His space ship was quite elaborate for the 50's and Patricia Neal , ( Helen Bensen ) , " The Fountainhead " , ' 49 fell in love with Klaatu and remembered the secret pig latin language to save the world from destruction . Sam Jaffe ( Prof . Jacob Barnhardt ) , " Ben Casey " ' 61 TV series acted liked an Einstein and needed Klaatu to figure out his Math problems . There was a great moral to this picture and it was simply this , Wars accomplish nothing and trying to get along with all nations might someday bring about PEACE ! We have had plenty of wars since this picture Korea , Vet-Nam and the list goes on and on ! |
418,174 | 663,392 | 43,469 | 10 | A GREAT FILM CLASSIC OF GARY COOPER ! | Besides being a great fan of Gary Cooper ( Capt . Quincy Wyatt ) " Love In The Afternoon " , ' 57 ; my family wanted to visit Florida and the Castillo de San Marcos Fort in 1951 where a great scene in the film depicts a fight in this famous fort , now a National Monument . My family visited the fort the day after Gary Cooper was at this fort . As many have said , there is great under water photography , actual scenes of Florida during the 1950's which made it more realistic . Gary Cooper carried this entire film on his back and it is truly a great film classic . |
417,125 | 663,392 | 35,753 | 10 | Famous French Classic Film | This film was produced while the Nazi's occupied France in 1943 and was financed by the Germans . After the war with Germany , France was very upset with the film and would not allow it to be shown . However , as we know today , it has become a great French film classic and has many awards . This film was considered a mystery thriller , with a person writing poison pen letters under the name Le Corbeau ( English Translation : The Raven ) Most of these poison pen letters were written to all the towns people and told of many dark secrets they were hiding . One person was in a hospital which was numbered # 13 and wanted desperately to change his bed because it was bad luck . All kinds of problems resulted from these letters signed by the Raven and before you know it , this story becomes a mystery that seems to never end . Great film to view and enjoy , try to view it some time on late time TV . |
416,888 | 663,392 | 56,903 | 10 | Bobby Darin Showed His Great Talents | This film has many great Classic Actors and the entire film is very entertaining and has lots of laughs . Gregory Peck , ( Capt . Josiah Newman , M . D . ) , " Cape Fear " , ' 62 , was the officer in charge of the mental section of the Army and had a great ability to calm his patients on some occasions and wrap them around his finger . He managed to recruit Angie Dickinson , ( Lt . Francie Corum ) , " Dressed To Kill " , ' 80 , who was a very young and sexy nurse who was not certain if she really wanted to work for Capt . Newman . Tony Curtis , ( Cpl . Jackson ' Jake ' , Leibowitz ) , " The Mirror Crack'd " , ' 80 , gave a great supporting role but the character he played did not seem to fit into this story . The real star of the film was Bobby Darin , ( Cpl . Jim Tompkins ) , " State Fair " , ' 62 who showed his great abilities as an actor and entertainer . Darin performed a few musical numbers and really made this film into a great Classic . |
418,074 | 663,392 | 96,152 | 10 | A Great Film about Good Witches vs . Bad Witches ! | Some how I missed this film over the years and was greatly surprised with the fantastic acting and a very well written story about a Good Witch gal , Kelly Preston , ( Miranda Reed ) , " What a Girl Wants " , ' 03 who is running away from a horrible life and manages to get deeply involved with Timothy Daly , ( Jeff Mills ) , " Against the Ropes " , ' 04 , who is a lawyer and begins to fall deeply in love with Miranda . This horror film kept me glued to the screen from beginning to end . There is plenty of action dealing with witchcraft , devil worship and very hot steamy sex scenes . The couple even have to draw a circle on the floor and kept themselves close together in order to keep the evil spirits outside . Don't miss this film ! |
416,834 | 663,392 | 264,935 | 10 | Ryan Gosling & Michael Pitt Were Fantastic ! | Greatly enjoyed this film starring Sandra Bullock , ( Casie Mayweather ) , " Two Weeks Notice " , ' 02 , who was a mixed up police detective who had some very deep dark secrets in her past and managed to show these weakness to her co-workers . Ben Chaplin , ( Sam Kennedy ) , " Lost Souls " , ' 2000 , was Casie's partner and had a very hard time trying to keep her in line with their investigation and her personality flare ups with Ryan Gosling , ( Richie Haywood ) , " The Believer " , ' 01 . Richie Haywood and Michael Pitt , ( Justin Pendleton ) , " Bully " , ' 01 , were very good friends who had families that paid very little attention to them . Richie & Justin decided to do just about anything they wanted and were both very sick mentally . This was a very entertaining film and it is easy to be critical about this film which never was intended to win an Academy Award . Sandra Bullock held this picture together , however , Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt both showed great acting abilities and I am quite sure these two actors will become greater stars in the future . |
418,179 | 663,392 | 43,503 | 10 | CLASSIC SUPER STARS ! | This film has a great cast of super stars , Humphrey Bogart ( Dist . Atty . Martin Ferguson ) " The Caine Mutiny " ' 54 who wears a bow-tie and was in the prime of his acting career which ended in 1957 . He had great supporting actors namely : Zero Mostel ( Big Babe Lazich ) " Fiddler On The Roof " ' 64 ; Everett Sloane ( Albert Mendoza ) " Somebody Up There Likes Me " ' 56 ' ; Jack Lambert ( Tom Zaca ) " Riverboat'59 " TV Series ' 59-'61 who played gangster and hoodlum roles in Western's for many years . Tito Vuolo ( Tony Vetto ) was the top gangster who gave Martin Ferguson a hard time . If you look close enough , you will see Veteran actor Bob Steele ( a great actor of the 30's and 40's mostly appeared in Western's ) If you like Bogart and good actors from the past , by all means view this film ! |
