417,042 | 663,392 | 167,906 | 10 | Wal-Mart Special for a Dollar | This is a very interesting film for only $1 . 00 at Wal-Mart and Franco Columbu , ( Enrico Cosata ) gave a great performance with some very sexy ladies , namely : Barbara Nevink ( Veronica ) . Enrico Cosata has a ball in Sardina , Italy and Costa Smeralda trying to help a U S . Senator and at the same time being a tour guide for a very sexy looking blonde . For six years of being a secret agent , Cosata grows tired of his job hunting down multi-national arms dealers in Los Angles and decides to enjoy a nice retirement in Sardina , Italy . However , he meets up with old friends and very bad enemies . There is plenty of action with cars going over cliff's and Enrico finding weapons under every bush in order to fend off his attackers . Great entertaining film and lots of nice looking actresses . Enjoy |
416,986 | 663,392 | 60,736 | 10 | Little Brown Jug How I Love Thee | This is a very unusual film which I had never seen starring Cornel Wilde as THE MAN . The man leads a group of people on a safari in Africa and everything goes quite smoothly and they are able to kill wild elephants for their tusks and encounter a tribe who want them to give them their bounty of tusks and one of the members refuses . As a result , these tribal people become very angry and decided to hunt this party down and kill them and they manage to kill everyone except THE MAN who runs around Africa naked and escapes from all kinds of bugs , snakes , plenty of bows and arrows . There are no females in this picture and Cornel Wilde does find a young tribal boy who helps him and saves him from drowning . The Boy and Cornel Wilde do sing a song which I thought was rather funny which was " Little Brown Jug How I Love Thee " . A very different film which clearly shows how the wild creatures in Africa exists . |
416,699 | 663,392 | 364,603 | 10 | Great Story & Excellent Actors ! | This film would make a great TV Series because it was very down to earth about every day living with average American people in a town which manages to solve its own problems . There is a wife who just simply cannot stand the every day life of having two sons and a husband to care for and just wants to stay in bed or run away to her sister who lives in a big city apartment . There is also a young girl who finds out she is going to have a baby and her mother throws her out of the house and she winds up living with two old kind men on their ranch ! This was a film the entire family could enjoy and learn a very important message about love and caring for your fellow neighbor and close friends . All problems have a solution and good comes out of all bad situations . |
417,684 | 663,392 | 30,202 | 10 | Outstanding Musical Classic | Luise Rainer , ( Poldi Vogelhuber ) gave an outstanding performance with her great singing talents and great acting . Fernand Gravey , ( Johann Strauss gave a great supporting role in this 1938 black and white film . If you like great Strauss Waltz's and a very romantic picture concerning what inspired Strauss to compose his famous waltz's and also an affair he has with Poldi . Count Anton Hohenfried , ( Lionel Atwill ) gives a great supporting role as the other man who is in love with Poldi and even goes to Richard Strauss wife and tells her what is going on and tells her to fight for her husband . There is plenty of comedy and great scenes with men and women dancing with fancy dresses and large dance halls . This is a must see great Classic Film which will be enjoyed by many generations to come . |
416,039 | 663,392 | 113,293 | 10 | A Real Mystery ! | Always enjoy the great acting talents of Harry Hamlin , ( Jim Lansford ) , " Strange Hearts " , ' 01 , who plays a straight as an arrow husband , who seems to get all kinds of attention from very charming young women , namely , Lisa Zane , ( Lynne ) , " Monkeybone " , ' 01 , who is a co-worker with Jim Lansford and you wonder why he doesn't try to hit on her for some fun . Annie Potts , ( Kris Lansford ) , " Breaking the Rules " , ' 92 , is a very warm and sweet loving wife to Jim and has complete trust in her husband . Kris wants to always keep her husband happy and even buys him a home with out him even seeing it for himself . This film will keep you guessing right to the very END ! |
416,479 | 663,392 | 109,500 | 10 | ANY ABUSE SHOULD BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY ! | This true story shocked me with the fact that women are given longer prison sentences than men for killing . Women receive 40 years for killing a husband and men get from 2 to 6 years . WHY IS THAT ? The same goes for the wages that men receive over the years , vs women . Jackie Smith ( Donna Yaklich ) gave an excellent performance in her acting as Donna Yaklich . Brad Johnson ( Dennis ) made you hate him beyond words , the way he treated his wife . However , there is always a better way to solve a problem in a marriage when the husband becomes a Frankenstein . ( even if he is a policeman ) Having someone kill for you is no solution to any problem and only makes matters worse . Having to sit in a jail cell for 40 years and think about your horrible decision is WORSE ! Donna Yaklich should have screamed HELP , while her husband was busy lifting his WEIGHTS ! |
416,191 | 663,392 | 60,748 | 10 | Classic Western with Great Actors ! | Every time this film is shown on TV , I just have to watch this amazing Western with many great actors too long to mention . Steve McQueen ( Nevada Smith ) , " The Hunter " , ' 80 went from a Work Camp in the Swamps to the Cowboy Country trying to track down a great actor Karl Malden ( Tom Fitch ) , " On The Waterfront " , ' 54 , who played a hateful person who destroyed Nevada Smith's family and forced him to seek revenge . Suzanne Pleshette ( Pilar , Cajun Girl ) , " Hot Stuff " , ' 79 helped Nevada obtain a boat to help him through the swamps despite a horrible snake bite and many horrible encounters . Howard DaSilva ( Warden of the Work Camp ) , " 1776 " , ' 72 ( Ben Franklin ) , was a horrible Warden with many cruel ways and definitely out for Nevada Smith's blood . If you love good Westerns with great Classic actors , don't miss this film ! |
416,518 | 663,392 | 35,779 | 10 | Joslyn & Keyes Were Fantastic | Greatly enjoyed this mystery , comedy classic from 1943 starring Allyn Joslyn , ( Barry Craig ) , " I Wake Up Screaming " and Evelyn Keyes , ( Jane Craig ) , " Gone With the Wind " . These two actors team up as a husband and wife detectives who try to solve a murder and seem to go around in complete circles through out the entire picture . This is really a comedy with plenty of 1943 jokes and laughter ; there is an elevator operator who takes a year and a day to reach each floor and tells his complete life's history before you even reach the main lobby . Evelyn Keys was very young at the age of 27 and had not too long ago completed her appearance in " Gone With The Wind " 1939 , where is gave an outstanding performance . Allyn Joslyn gave a great performance as a hen pecked detective who had a wife follow him every where he decided to go . Nice Classic Film and very entertaining . |
417,215 | 663,392 | 126,806 | 10 | Kristy Swanson Was HOT | Kristy Swanson , ( Francesda Wells ) gave a very convincing performance as a very very bad girl who would do anything for money and a completely wild life . Francesda is every young man's dream of a gal who is Easy and eager to please all kinds of men and has no regard for law and order . In other words , this gal has no soul and lives from day to day and loves to destroy most of the people she encounters . Jeremy London , ( Danny Wells ) , " Kiss Me Again " , ' 05 , is the brother to Francesda and adores his sister and will do anything to protect her . However , in many ways she really uses her brother to accomplish her needs and desires . The poor mother has to put up with this daughter of hers and the entire film makes you hope and pray you never have a daughter like Francesda . Great acting by Kristy Swanson and Jeremy London . |
417,326 | 663,392 | 64,598 | 10 | SUSAN GEORGE AND BRONSON HAVE A BALL ! | Susan George explodes with great acting and a very sexy performance with Bronson , they make a fantastic couple running around London and New York City , in the late 60's . It is a very sweet love story , and you warm to these two actors , with a few laughs in between . Paul Ford , Trevor Howard and Jack Hawkins give fantastic supporting roles . |
417,374 | 663,392 | 378,337 | 10 | Kirstie Alley Gave a Fantastic Performance ! | This is a very horrible sad and depressing TRUE STORY , which makes it even worse to view . Kirstie Alley , ( Brenda Geck ) , " Back by Midnight " , ' 02 , put her heart and soul into this horrible role and made you hate her over and over again . Will Patton , ( Philip Rothman ) , " The Agency " , ' 01 TV Series , acted his usual calm ways and was soft spoken , but very powerful in his building a case against Brenda Geck . It is a shame that such a person did exists and did so much mental and physical harm too so very many people's lives . It is a great film to alert the general public as to what can actually happen in their own neighborhoods or even your next door friend . It was nice to see Kirstie Alley give such a great performance in this very sick TRUE STORY ! |
417,596 | 663,392 | 317,179 | 10 | If You Really Love Someone-GET MARRIED ! ! | Some how I seemed to have missed this film and was not certain if I was going to like the theme of this story . It did not take me very long before I was spellbound with each character in the film and my heart went out to the young boy and the threat of breast cancer and the great warm and lovely love between two same sex gals . Bernadette Peters , ( Bailey Lewis ) , " Snow Days " , ' 99 , gave an outstanding performance along with Rachel Ward , ( Roberta Langham ) , " The Ascent " , ' 94 . Bailey & Roberta were madly in love with each other and their co-worker Jewish friends made quite a combination of team players . The background and photography in Ireland was a perfect location . If you love someone very very deeply , don't miss out on the opportunity of sharing your entire life with them . Great Story About LOVE ! |
416,281 | 663,392 | 39,659 | 10 | A Great Classic Film in 1948 | This was a very outstanding film for viewers who loved Merle Oberon , Dana Andrews , Ethel Barrymore and Hoagy Carmichael during the height of their careers in 1948 . In this film , Cathy , ( Merle Oberon ) , " The Broken Melody " , ' 34 , a rich woman who falls deeply in love with Dana Andrews , ( Dan ) , " The Best Years of Our Lives " , ' 46 , who is blind and is a down and out piano player and composer . Dan has a great pal who is also a musician and they work and live together in a Jazz club and try to make ends meet . Dan's buddy is Hoagy Carmichael , ( Chick ) , " To Have & Have Not " , ' 44 who gives a great supporting role and is quite funny through out the entire picture . There is plenty of Classical music and a great appearance of a famous conductor and pianist . The is lots of romance , drama and comedy and a very unusual ending . |
416,399 | 663,392 | 53,017 | 10 | Fantastic Montgomery Clift Film ! | Have not seen this film in many years and was able to view it on late late late night TV . Montgomery Clift , ( Adam White ) , " Wild River " , ' 60 gave forth a deep power from within his very soul and cried out through out the entire picture as a frustrated writer in his love relations and the conflict with his own father . Adam encounters a woman who seeks his help through a column in the local newspaper and she complains about her husband's performance in bed after so many years and then all things break loose . Robert Ryan , ( William Shrike ) , " The Outfit " , ' 74 is a very bitter man who heads the newspaper and is constantly beating down his wife , Myrna Loy , ( Florence Shrike ) , " Song of the Thin Man " , ' 47 for having an affair with a man ten years in the past . Maureen Stampleton , ( Fay Doyle ) , " Cocoon " , ' 85 gave a great supporting role and spins a close web around Adam . Montgomery Clift showed a great deal of physical and mental pain in this film , but it seemed to make his performance a MASTER PIECE of great acting for all generations to view . |
418,012 | 663,392 | 43,338 | 10 | Kirk Douglas was Outstanding | This is a great film about a newspaper reporter who burned himself out in New York City with lots of boozing and fooling around with plenty of women . This reporter is Chuck Tatum , ( Kirk Douglas ) who comes to town in Albuquerque , New Mexico in a tow truck after all his tires blew out . Chuck seeks employment from a local Albuquerque Newspaper and manages to get a position on the paper . Chuck gets a big assignment to cover a rattlesnake convention but finds a more interesting story about the cave in of a mine which traps Leo Minosa , ( Richard Benedict ) . Chuck knows from past experience that this will make a great story and he contacts all the right connections for a doctor , construction engineers and the local sheriff . Lorraine Minosa , ( Jan Sterling ) is the wife of Leo and is really bored with her marriage and Lorraine becomes interested in Chuck Tatum . This entire event brings a media circus to this New Mexico story . This is a film that will capture your attention from the very beginning to the very end , there is some very serious signs of violence and romance . This is a great Kirk Douglas film who gave an outstanding performance along with Jan Sterling who was very sexy and also a very tough and rough gal . |
416,283 | 663,392 | 39,437 | 10 | About Love & Hate and the Slip of the Pen | Have not viewed this film in years and was completely surprised at almost everything in the entire film . It starts out rather slow , a bit boring and all of a sudden everything seems to happen . Lana Turner , ( Marianne Patourel ) , " The Bad & The Beautiful " , ' 52 , gave one of her greatest performances with a very dramatic acting role along with Van Heflin ( Timothy Haslam ) , " Tap Roots " , ' 46 who could not help but follow Marianne's business advice and also gave in to all her demands . Donna Reed , ( Marguerite Patourel ) , " The Last Time I Saw Paris " , ' 54 , played a woman who was deeply in love through out the entire picture and became very frustrated . Donna Reed gave an outstanding performance and could bring tears to your eyes . Edmund Gwenn ( Octavius Patourel ) , " Miracle on 34th St . " , ' 47 was the father to the two sisters and revealed great secrets as the film progressed . Frank Morgan , ( Dr . Edmund Ozanne ) , " The Wizard of Oz " , ' 39 , played a great supporting role as a heavy drinking doctor who greatly loved his son . I noticed Linda Christian , ( Hin Moa ) , " Thunderstorm " , ' 56 playing a brief role in this film , Linda Christian was the former wife of Tyrone Power . This is a masterpiece of a Classic Film which even had great pictures of Old Clipper Ships with their majestic Sails . Don't miss this Picture . |
417,167 | 663,392 | 461,872 | 10 | Excellent Presentation of Child Sex Salvery ! | It is great that Lifetime is allowing the presentation of what is going on through out the entire world and very little is mentioned in our local newspapers . However , we do hear about an occasional girl or boy that is missing and is never heard from and I can imagine the police files must be over flowing with plenty of Cold Cases . This film clearly depicts the horrible PIGS and Sex Offenders who thrive on young innocent children . These poor human beings with a spiritual soul are required to perform degrading services , which hurts their chances to live normal lives or even want to be married to any man in their future lives ! I applaud the showing of this type of material , but making this a regular program with all these type of cases is more than my stomach can handle . Enough is Enough ! |
417,037 | 663,392 | 53,198 | 10 | Masterpiece by Francois Truffaut | This was an extremely down to earth film about a young boy living in Paris , France with his mother , Gilberte Doinel , ( Claire Maurier ) and his father Julien Doinel , ( Albert Remy ) . This young boy is Antoine Doinel , ( Jean-Pierre Leaud ) who is a rather rebellious young man in school and causes all kinds of problems with his teachers . Antoine steals money from his parents , skips school and pals around with his friends who are not much better than he is . This young man proceeds to almost burn his apartment house down and is constantly hearing his father and mother fighting among each other . One day , Antoine cuts school and sees his mother kissing passionately another man on a Paris street . This story clearly shows what can happen to a child who is not really loved and has mental problems trying to fit into society and has no ambitions to better himself in life and is always looking for any easy way out of the routine of living . There is lots of laughs in this film and some very sad and heart breaking events that continue to drive Antoine to a complete dead end . |
416,357 | 663,392 | 43,363 | 10 | Robert Stack is a Light Blonde ! | This is a great film showing the horrors of bullfighting with excellent photography and directed by a former bullfighter himself , Budd Boetticher . John Wayne produced this picture but did not appear in this film and presented a film that was originally cut into pieces but has been restored to its original print , which is seen today . Robert Stack , ( Johnny Regan ) plays the role as a U . S . Citizen who has connections with Hollywood and has become interested in becoming a bullfighter and so he travels to Mexico to met a real famous matador . Johnny meets up with Manolo Estgrada , ( Gilbert Roland ) at a famous eating place and forces his attentions to Manolo in order to become friendly with him and to break into his inner circles of life . It it not very long before Johnny makes an arrangement with Manolo to teach him how to shoot birds in exchange for Matador lessons . This film goes into great detail about how to fight a bull and the dangers of the sport in Mexico . Johnny also meets up with a woman he falls in love with at first sight and just can't get her out of his mind both day in and day out , this woman is Anita De La Vega , ( Joy Page ) who does keep a distance from Johnny , but things do warm up between these two couples . Great film and a wonderful Classic Bullfighting film with great realism . Enjoy . |
417,713 | 663,392 | 294,357 | 10 | Heartbreaking Story | Angelina Jolie , ( Sarah Jordan ) , " Mr . & Mrs . Smith " , ' 05 gave an outstanding performance as a young lady who attended a Relief Benefit for Needy Children and People and viewed a young boy half starved to death . Sarah was not really happy with her marriage and decided to raise money for the man who headed this Relief Benefit ; Nick Callahan , ( Clive Owen ) , " Sin City " , ' 05 and headed out on her own to help provide the needs of the sick and poor people in different countries . There is a romance that sparks between the scenes of horrible conditions dealing with human beings and crude methods of operating and caring for the sick and disabled . After viewing this picture , I found myself not complaining very much about things in general and being grateful for all the things and life I have in America . Get the Tissue Box out , you will need it . |
416,377 | 663,392 | 70,040 | 10 | Great Foreign Film | This story is basically centered around two little sisters living in Spain who are able to view the classic film " Frankenstein " starring Boris Karloff for the first time . This film leaves a great impression on the younger sister , Ana who is seven years of age and is told by her older sister that she will be able to see the monster at an old farm near a well and if she closes her eyes he will appear to her . Besides the attention being given to these two girls , there is a father who is in his own world of beehives who never makes love to his wife or even speaks to her . The wife is in her dream world and rides her bike everyday and is also writing letters to a romantic encounter in the past . As all this is going on , Ana is teased by her older sister Teresa about the whereabouts of Frankenstein and why he killed a little girl . |
417,974 | 663,392 | 264,761 | 10 | Do What Your Heart Wants | Very entertaining film , had its funny moments , and some very serious situations that needed to be resolved . This film opened the door for many people to observe what goes on between two human beings , whether it is same sex or simply male and female . Jennifer Westfeldt , ( Jessica Stein ) , " Keep Your Distance " , ' 05 , wanted to find love and the men she did meet were all creeps . Jessica finally ran into Heather Juergensen , ( Helen Cooper ) , " Red Roses & Petrol " , ' 03 , and fell deeply in love with her , their mind , body and soul exploded when they were with each other . Jessica's Jewish family accepted Helen , provided she practiced the Jewish Faith and had lots of laughs among the family . Things started to change and like some male and female marriages , one partner needed more sex than the other and had the " I have a headache syndrome . " Jessica & Helen gave an outstanding performance and showed that people who are in love , male vs . male , female vs . female must cling to each other if Love is the main reason they want to be together . Enjoy |
417,626 | 663,392 | 299,658 | 10 | We Need More Musicals Like This ONE ! | I first viewed " Chicago " at the Pheasant Run / Dinner Theatre , near St . Charles , Illinois , and was captivated by the actors who put their hearts and souls into this production on a rather small stage . After viewing " Chicago " with Queen Latifah , ( Matron Mama ) , " Brown Sugar " , ' 02 I could not believe the great talent Matron Mama had , she was outstanding and practically stole the entire show . However , Catherine-Zeta-Jones , ( Velma Kelly ) , " Intolerably Cruelty " , 03 burned up the stage with her dancing and singing along with Renee Zellweger ( Roxie Hart ) , " Nurse Betty " , 2000 . These two Jail Birds performed great acting skills and gave their lawyer , Richard Gere , ( Billy Flynn ) , " Runaway Bride " , ' 99 a run for his money in more ways than none . Enjoyed seeing Christine Baranski ( Mary Sunshine ) " Cybill " , TV series , acting as a newspaper reporter who kept you laughing through out the entire picture . Most musicals I do not care for , but this " Chicago " is a must see film about the 1920's and that wild generation of senior citizen's TODAY ! |
416,090 | 663,392 | 378,194 | 10 | Bill Vol . 2 was Outstanding | Enjoyed Bill Vol . 1 , however , this film went back to the same characters and gave more of a history into the Bride and how she learned all the secret powers of becoming a super killer in order to get revenge from all the people who harmed her . Uma Thurman gave an outstanding performance when she is being taught by a very old wise teacher of defense and some very important deadly parts of the body which can destroy a person even if they are almost sitting on top of you , face to face or nose to nose . Uma Thurman did a great job of sword swinging and got herself out of almost impossible situations , like being buried alive and many other horrible situations . David Carradine , ( Bill ) had a larger role in this film and showed his great acting abilities , just like his father John Carradine , " Dracula ' 40 and " House of Frankenstein ) This is a film you can watch from the beginning to the end and enjoy every minute of great entertainment by all the actors . |
417,331 | 663,392 | 22,286 | 10 | Public Enemy Will LAST FOREVER ! | This is a classic of all classic's Cagney and Harlow and Joan Blondell will live on forever and ever . The grapefruit in the face , was classic also . This film depicts how it was in the bootleg era and how corrupt big cities became , it is great that we can just look back and say these days are gone forever and ever . WHPRATT |
416,747 | 663,392 | 22,285 | 10 | BORIS KARLOFF AS A PROFESSOR ! | Taped this Richard Dix film in the early 70's and never realized that Boris Karloff made an appearance in this film . Dix ( Pike Winslow ) plays a Robin Hood in this film and seeks to correct all the wrong doing of blue collar executives in high places , ( which sounds like 2003 ) who try to cheat people with their share holdings . Pike leaves his calling card , " The Reckoner " , which means you are in trouble and will likely go to jail . He has sidekicks , namely Boris Karloff ( Professor ) who do all the undercover work so Pike Winslow can get them behind bars . A sweet charming and sexy looking young blond girl ( or lady like she wants to be called ) Barbara Gerry ( Shirley Grey ) fell in love with Pike when she was 12 and he was 18 . Winslow finds out that her father has lost his entire fortune to these crooks and she will be out in the street with her aunt . The acting and film direction is fantastic , all the actors were very professional . This was Shirley Grey's first film debut and Boris Karloff was eager for work and was beginning to be seen in Hollywood , around the time of " Criminal Code " and " Frankenstein " . I noticed that Max Steiner wrote the music for his film and was uncredited . This was a great film classic that I was happy I taped years ago and will enjoy for many years in the future . Richard Dix had a great magic in his acting that will live on forever andever . |
417,413 | 663,392 | 65,738 | 10 | Baron Frankenstein had Time for Sex ! | Never viewed this Hammer Production until just recently , and was completely surprised with a very different film version about Baron Victor Frankenstein ( Peter Cushing , " Mad House " ' 74 ) The Baron kept himself busy sawing open human skulls with very detailed images and a body buried in a backyard garden had a water main burst and pop up one of the Barons experiments . Lots of blood and gore and nothing left for your imagination . However , Baron Frankenstein took time from his brain transferring to actually rape Veronica Carlson ( Anna Spengler ) " Black Easter " , who very well could have been his daughter . The Hammer Studios in England gave one of their best horror films , even if I had to tape this film in the early hours of Halloween Morning ! |
418,064 | 663,392 | 338,556 | 10 | Lots of Hot Love Making | This TV film was great , it had lots of romance , mystery and the story kept me guessing right to the very end . Angie Everhart , ( Lana ) , " Bare Witness " , ' 02 , married a very very rich older man and kept him very busy in bed much to his delight . However , the rich man's son returns from Harvard and accidentally walks into her bathroom while she is in her birth day suit and from then on , sparks seem to fly and the plot takes off in more ways than one . Andrew W . Walker , ( Holden ) , " The Secret Pact " , ' 99 , is the rich man's son and after staying around the mansion for a while and getting to really know his father , he finds out his father has some very horrible and mysterious hang ups . You will find this film very hard to figure out and it is a very well produced film to enjoy . |
417,600 | 663,392 | 35,659 | 10 | Greenstreet & Lorre were a TEAM ! | This is truly a great Classic 1940's B & W film with a great cast of actors , George Raft , ( Joe Barton ) , " Oceans ' Eleven " , ' 60 , was a so called salesman and a spy who ran into all kinds of problems on a train with a woman and obtained war time maps and plans which the Nazi's and Russians wanted very desperately . Sydney Greenstreet , ( Colonel Robinson ) , " Devotion " , ' 46 , worked for the Russians and wanted to get rid of Joe Barton in the worst way . Much to my surprise , Peter Lorre ( Nikolai Zaleshoff ) , " Beat the Devil " , ' 53 , was a good spy for a change . Brenda Marshall , ( Tamara Zaleshoff ) , " Constant Nymph " , ' 43 gave a good supporting role and managed to her herself beaten up a few times . If you love Greenstreet , Raft & Lorre , this is a must see film ! |
417,986 | 663,392 | 252,133 | 10 | Brides & Grooms Take a BEATING ! | Enjoyed this TV film from beginning to end and the plot kept me wondering just how this story was suppose to come to a conclusion ! Tracy Pollan , ( Lindsay Boxer ) , " A Stranger Among Us " , ' 92 , gave an outstanding depiction of a detective who was bound and determined to find out what was happening to all the Brides and Grooms . Gil Bellows , ( Chris Raleigh ) , " EMR " , ' 04 was another cop who had a hard time trying to understand Lindsay and her way of thinking about her job and life . Robert Patrick , ( Nicholas Jenks ) , " Supercross " , ' 04 gave an outstanding performance and was able to make everyone grow to HATE HIM . It was horrible to see all these young couples happy on their honeymoons and having to face such TERROR ! Great entertaining FILM ! |
418,177 | 663,392 | 78,754 | 10 | ROY SCHEIDER GAVE A GREAT PERFORMANCE ! | Have always enjoyed viewing this very unusual film and Roy Scheider ( Joseph Gideon ) " Dracula II " ' 03 , who put his heart and soul into the making of this film and showed Hollywood he was more than just a cop in " JAWS " ' 74 . Jessica Lange ( Angelique ) " Normal " ' 03 was Joe Gideon's guardian angel and the wife of his dreams . If you look closely , you will see a great actress who was never given a break in the film business , she is Irene Kane ( Lesie Perry , TV Movie Critic ) who starred in " Killer's Kiss " ' 55 where she gave a very dramtic role , this was Irene Kane's last performance in this film . This film over the years has become a great classic to be followed-up with " CHICAGO " , view it whenever you can . |
418,075 | 663,392 | 355,987 | 10 | Great Horror Film ! | Enjoyed the ' Salem Lot ' pictures , however , this picture was well produced and there was plenty of action , lots of blood and gore and very little sex . Rob Lowe ( Ben Mears ) , " View from the Top " , ' 03 , had horrible flashbacks to his early childhood and the horror's of a haunted house . Donald Sutherland , ( Richard Straker ) , " Cold Mountain " , ' 03 , purchases this haunted home and gives a great chilling performance with his facial expressions and wild white hair going in every direction . Samantha Matthis , ( Susan Norton ) , " Fathers & Sons " , 04 , becomes closely involved with Ben Mears and tries to help him solve his nightmares . Andre Braugher , ( Matt Burke ) , " Hack " , ' 02 , was outstanding in his supporting role as a high school teacher who knew the creepy town and all the young kids and their parents and did his very best to support Ben Mears and his endeavors . This is a big improvement over the past Salem Lot Film and very enjoyable and much credit should be given to Steven King ! |
416,684 | 663,392 | 25,712 | 10 | Movie Serials From the Past | Years ago many big studios promoted serial films that were shown in movie theaters's in between the actual features along with a Newsreel of current events , plus cartoons , especially on a Saturday afternoon . ( The parents loved it mostly ) " The Return of Chandu " was a 12 episode serial where Chandu , ( Bela Lugosi ) , " The Mysterious Mr . Wong " , ' 34 is a magician with super natural powers and travels to the island of Lemuria to rescue the kidnapped princess of Egypt , ( Nadji ) Maria Alba , " Dr . Terror's House of Horrors " , ' 43 . Princess Nadji is held captive by the black magic cult of Ubasti , who believe that she is a reincarnation of their long-dead goddess Ossana . These 12-episode serials take you way back in time and are very well produced , considering we are talking about 1934 ! |
417,076 | 663,392 | 69,681 | 10 | Natalie Wood & Robert Wagner Were Magic ! | Over the years I missed this TV Film and was completely surprised by the great performance of Natalie Wood , ( Courtney Patterson ) , " Meteor " , ' 79 , a cripple who was taken advantage of by Robert Wagner ( Marcus Simon ) , " El Padrino , ' 03 . Marcus Simon fell madly in love with Courtney and drove Courtney crazy until she finally paid attention to him and went to bed with him . Marcus should never have started a romance with Courtney , because he was only going to Break Her Heart . The acting between Marcus & Courtney was fantastic and at times made you very angry at Marcus for having started this entire " AFFAIR " . Bruce Davison , ( Jamie Patterson ) , Courtney's brother tells her , " At least someone loved you in this world " and it was good you got to see what the REAL WORLD IS ALL ABOUT " ! Natlie Wood & Robert Wagner were married for the second time during this film and they were really a match made in Heaven ! Natlie is greatly missed ! |
416,142 | 663,392 | 190,590 | 10 | John Goodman & Charles Durning Stole the SHOW ! ! ! | This Chain Gang Classic film , brought back memories from the past . I remember traveling in the South and seeing these men in chains along the side of the road and thought what a horrible punishment in the hot steamy sun and the great physical pain the men had to endure . George Clooney ( Ulysses Everett McGill ) along with John Turturro ( Pete ) gave excellent drama and comedy with their great acting skills . However , John Goodman ( Big Dan Teague ) with a one-eyed patch and a suppose to be " Bible Salesman " gave some good punches to Ulysses over a picnic lunch . Charles Durning ( Gov . Pappy ) shook his big round bottom along with Ulysses to all the Western Tunes and even cut a Top Hit Country Western Song . This is a must see Classic film which will keep you guessing through-out the entire film . |
417,468 | 663,392 | 39,808 | 10 | KARLOFF PLAYS A PHONY PSYCHIATRIST ! | This film has a cast of all time veteran actors . Walter Mitty ( Danny Kaye ) , a very soft spoken proofreader for a magazine publishing house , tries to escape periodically from his routine existence in DAYDREAMS . A woman ( Rosalind van Hoorn ( Virginia Mayo ) " The Girl from Jones Beach " ' 49 seeks his aid in getting away from a strange character who seems to be following her . Later on Mitty gets involved with an international ring of jewel thieves . A phony psychiatrist is among the gang members , Dr . Hollingshead ( Boris Karloff ) who attempts to push him out of a window . Karloff does everything in the book to convince Mitty that he's NUTS . If you love Danny Kaye , who played Capt . Hook in Peter Pan TV 1976 , you will love this film . Karloff gave this film and extra boost and played a calm and sinister doctor for a change ! |
417,476 | 663,392 | 39,826 | 10 | Classic Film With Great Actors ! | Have not seen this film in years and decided to look at all the great Classic actors who were all very young and at the height of their careers ! Douglas Fairbanks , Jr . ( Sinbad ) , " Red & Blue " , ' 67 , played an excellent Sinbad and followed in his fathers footsteps , Fairbanks Senior . Maureen O'Hara , ( Shireen ) , " Big Jake " , ' 71 , was beautiful and put her heart and soul into her role as a captured lady among savages on old sailing vessels . Walter Slezak , ( Melik ) , " Black Beauty " , ' 71 , played a crafty old fox who was able to find treasure that no one ever thought he was capable of finding . Anthony Quinn ( Emir ) , " Last Action Hero " , ' 93 kept after Sinbad and tried to capture the heart strings of Shireen and plenty of wealth ! Great Classic film to enjoy , the background scenery is very typical 1947 ! |
416,380 | 663,392 | 92,090 | 10 | Outstanding Film | Enjoyed this film starring Catherine Mouchet , ( St . Therese of Lisieux ) who wanted at a very early age to become a Nun and was refused by her own Priest and clergy of her faith . Therese also went to the Pope and was declined and had to wait for about two years . This film shows the deep love Therese had for her Lord and other sister's whom she pours her heart and soul into helping others . There is a grave illness that Therese develops and she refuses to take any medicine for the pain and suffering and prays constantly to her Lord and Savior . Great look into the life of a young girl who wanted nothing else in life but to become a loving person for others . |
416,853 | 663,392 | 52,840 | 10 | Great Drummer from the Past | Always enjoy listening to the great talent of Gene Krupa along with Buddy Rich . This is a film dealing with Krupa's childhood which dealt with his becoming a Priest and then a world famous drummer in the 1940's . Sal Mineo , ( Gene Krupa ) , " Rebel Without a Cause " , ' 55 , did a great job of trying to imitate Gene on the drums along with Susan Kohner , ( Ethel Maguire ) , " Freud " , ' 62 , who was his girlfriend and loyal supporter through out this picture . This film portrays the good and bad times of Gene Krupa and most of his bad times were caused by a frustrating childhood and a great love of his mother and father , who both demanded too much from their son . Great Class film along with great musicians . |
416,749 | 663,392 | 109,250 | 10 | PATRICIA ARQUETTE WAS THE GREATEST ! | In 1994 I taped this film because I knew that I would want to see it again and again . Patricia Arquette showed her great talents and made you feel sorry for her while she was being killed and thrown down a hill like a piece of garbage . She was very attractive as an informant for the FBI and the agent took advantage of her petite sexy figure and good looks . ( But still loved his wife and kids ! ) Her sister tried to warn her about fooling around with a married man , but she just did not want to listen and got PG . However , nowadays , there would be no doubt at all as to who the father really was , with DNA and CSI experts , Murder Does Not PAY and Never WILL ! . The FBI agent did a bad job of trying to pass the lie detector test and even turned to his Catholic Faith , but had a hard time going to confession . The only way they could determine what happened to the victim was a Cross that was placed around her neck by her loving sister . This is a true story which makes it very much like real life and the mistakes that young gals and guys make thinking the GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE ! |
417,628 | 663,392 | 179,626 | 10 | Entertaining Film ! | Greatly enjoyed viewing this film on dvd and liked the photography filmed in NYC , Broadway and very beautiful night scenes of the former World Trade Center and its many famous bridges . Robert DeNiro ( Detective Eddie Flemming ) , " City by the Sea " , ' 02 played an excellent role as a drinking cop who was madly in love with Melina Kanakaredes ( Nicolete Karas ) , " Providence " ' 99 TV Series , a TV reporter , who wants to make it to the big time and Eddie helps her get some big scoups . There is a very loveable scene where Eddie is trying to propose marriage to Nicolette , ( who looks radiant ) and Eddie gets his tongue twisted trying to say the magical words every woman in love wants to hear ! This movie had lots of action with ugly killings and some mild nudity . If you are a great fan of DeNiro and Kanakaredes you will over look this production and just plain sit back and enjoy a crazy , wild and nutty entertainment ! |
418,081 | 663,392 | 29,836 | 10 | A Great Reagan Film Classic to VIEW ! | Over the years I seemed to have missed this picture of Ronald Reagan , and due to his recent passing to the big screen in heaven , it was shown on TV recently . This is a great low budget B & W film of the late 1930's , however , it is very interesting to see how criminals used their talents to steal money from insurance companies with false claims during this particular time frame . I was surprised at the role Ronald Reagan , ( Eric Gregg ) , " The Killer's , ' 64 , played in this picture , along with a great veteran film star , Sheila Bromley , ( Nona Gregg ) , " Nightmare Circus " , ' 73 , who was a great supporting actor . It was a great film that showed Ronald Reagan as a very young man reaching for the stars in his career in Hollywood at the time . God Bless HIM ! |
417,229 | 663,392 | 307,479 | 10 | Love Never Dies | Just had to view this film on a Friday night , as it was listed as " Friday Nite Horror Show " . Much to my surprise , it was more than I had bargained for and held my interest from beginning to end . George Clooney , ( Chris Kelvin ) , " Ocean's Eleven " , ' 01 , played a head shrink and wound up almost a complete Nut Case . Natascha McElhone ( Rheya ) , " City of Ghosts " , ' 02 played his wife that was with Chris one minute and off somewhere in space the next . There was a clear message in this film , which they called a Poem , that some what mentions the fact that real love between two people never dies after Death and continues on into the Spiritual world or simply Resurrection . So in other words , you really got a Sermon on Life & Death in this film . |
416,615 | 663,392 | 265,180 | 10 | Peeping Tom Film | Interesting film concerning a young couple who have some very dark secrets and are running away from problems which they created . Their yellow sports car begins to have car problems and they resort to finding a sort of a Bed & Breakfast place to crash for the night . This young couple tell the owners they are newly weds and they settle in for an eventful night . The male owner of the B & B decides to look in on the married couple and see all the goodies going on in their bedroom . Of course he sees plenty of nudity on a special designed TV Monitor . Carrie Hitchcock , ( Jackie ) , Brian Mani , ( Edward Slayter ) and Heather Prete , ( Madalyn ) all give an outstanding performance . This film has many twists and turns and you really begin to wonder just what kind of an ending this picture will eventually have , Flowers and Rose Bushes ? |
416,241 | 663,392 | 87,235 | 10 | Great TV CLASSIC ! | Taped this TV film in 1984 and just recently viewed this film again and greatly enjoyed the talents of veteran actors like , Stefanie Powers , ( Jessie Callaway ) , " Invisible Strangler " , ' 76 , who showed her great acting abilities as a complicated young woman who has many mental problems and tries to help her mother move out of her home where she lived for forty ( 40 ) years . Melissa Gilbert , ( Sara Callaway ) , " Ice House " , ' 89 , does not get along very well with her mother and simply loves her grandmother , Maureen Stapleton , ( Maggie Lukauer ) , " Living & Dining " , ' 03 , who tries to help her daughter and granddaughter get over many of their problems which seem to pop up all over the house . There are some deep Family Secrets which finally come to everyones attention . If you like good acting and a great TV film , you just might be able to view this film on LIFETIME ! |
417,660 | 663,392 | 57,200 | 10 | Cool Musical Sounds | Greatly enjoyed this fantastic film from 1963 with plenty of cameos of Marc Lawrence , Elisha Cook Jr . , ( " I Wake Up Screaming " ) , Telly Savalas , " Kojak " , Joey Bishop ( Comedian ) and Jim Backus , ( Mr . Magoo ) Henry Silva , ( Johnny Cool ) was given a job from a retired Mob gangster hiding out in Rome , ( Marc Lawrence ) who wanted him to repay some guys with a nice Mob Hit . Elizabeth Montgomery , gets involved with Johnny Cool and starts going on a killing spree with him doing all sorts of wild things and at the same time falling in love with this guy . There are plenty of great musical sounds in this picture by Billy May which adds a great deal to the entire picture . This is the type of film that will never grow old and will keep you interested right to the very end . Enjoy . |
416,093 | 663,392 | 364,882 | 10 | Great Chili Mining Story | Greatly enjoyed viewing this fantastic portrayal of a rich man who owns a Coal Mine and treats the miners as slaves with low wages and poor working conditions . This rich man puts Ernesto Malbran , ( Mister Davis ) as foreman who brutalizes the men and even kills them if they ever think about having a Miners Association , or type of union . Francisco Reyes , ( Fernando ) , " Docteur Chance " , ' 97 grew up in the mine and lost his own father while he was working deep down below in Hell . Paulina Galvez , ( Virginia ) , " Face of Terror " , ' 03 was a former girl friend of Fernando and their romances is renewed as she returns to Lota , Chili to teach in the local school . Virginia and Fernando burn up the bedroom and bed sheets in quite a few scenes and they also look great dancing together . The story of Coal Miners is true in every country in this world , they are never given the true wages they deserve or the safe working conditions , lets hope things improve in the 21st Century . Good Film to Enjoy Watching . |
417,489 | 663,392 | 26,029 | 10 | THE 1935 original Film Version was GREAT ! | Alfred Hitchcock in 1935 did everything he could to have his favorite actress Madeline Carroll in this picture , he always loved to have blonde women to perform in his pictures . This 1935 version of " The 39 Steps " was very comical how they tried to show two people in bed fully clothed and the shocking scene with Madeline taking her stockings off . Hitchock always tried to surprise the audience in any way that he could . Just having Madeline Carroll and Robert Donat handcuffed together must have given plenty of people a bundle of laughs . However , Hitchcock had to direct this film in London , England , America was not ready for such a naughty Drama / Comedy . |
418,126 | 663,392 | 78,446 | 10 | Great Classic Film | Viewed this film years ago and never forgot the great acting and comedy scenes between Cheech Marin , ( Pedro ) and Tommy Chang , ( Anthony ) . Anthony is a rich kid who simply will not go to work or conform to anything his parents want him to accomplish in life . His dad tells him to get a job or else he is on his very own . Cheech manages to pick Anthony up along a highway and is even carrying his complete set of drums . There is one scene when a gal drives me crazy with laughter , when she sniffs up AJAX like the real Stuff and makes wild faces and tongue expressions you have never seen before . This is a film you need to see over and over again , it is great entertainment and a true Hollywood Classic . |
416,234 | 663,392 | 65,854 | 10 | Excellent Hammer Film Production ! | Enjoyed catching this film on very late late late TV and it kept my interest through out the entire picture . This wonderful creepy , yet mysterious looking English home , with evil looking decorations and weired furniture and rooms that make you wonder just why anyone would want to rent this home or even own it . There are four ( 4 ) Tales concerning this house , and each resident of the home meets with all kinds of problems . You will notice the beautiful lake and pond around the home and also the sweet singing of birds , but don't let that fool you , there is horror all over the place . Peter Cushing , " Black Jack " , ' 80 gives a great performance as one of the person's living in the home and even Christopher Lee , " Curse of the Crimson Altar " , 68 and his little daughter , Chloe Franks , ( Jane Reid ) make a wonderful exciting story together , his daughter for some reason loves to read WITCHCRAFT BOOKS ! If you love creepy , horrible and mysterious films , with lots of surprises , this is the FILM FOR YOU ! ! ! ! |
417,168 | 663,392 | 52,811 | 10 | Great Close Up of Burke & Hare | As soon as I started to view this film , I knew I was going to enjoy every minute of the entire story . It reminded me of " The Bodysnatcher " , 1945 , starring Boris Karloff & Bela Lugosi , where Karloff tells the story of Burke & Hare and sings a song to Bela Lugosi and asks him if he would like to be BURKED ? ? . In this film , Peter Cushing , ( Doctor Robert Knox ) , Monster Island " , ' 81 plays the surgeon who teaches and desires fresh bodies to experiment with and Donald Pleasence ( William Hare ) , " Safe Haven " , ' 95 , does everything he can to help Dr . Knox with his experiments and at the same time earn schillings and pounds for his assistance . George Rose , ( William Burke ) , " The Tree " , ' 69 , works hand in hand with his buddy Bill Hare , and even goes to a great deal of trouble arranging for these many experiments to become possible . This is a great Classic from the late 1950's , just sit back and have Burke & Hare do a number on YOU ! ! |
417,718 | 663,392 | 190,524 | 10 | Christian Film Giving Their Point of View | In this wonderful world that our Maker created , there are many religions , races and people who have never been introduced to the Bible and Jesus Christ . This film deals with the Book of Revelation and the Anti-Christ that is trying to win human souls into eternal Hell . The struggle of Evil & Good always remains with us . This is what I would call a wake up call from religious groups who hope and pray that people will follow the right path in life and find out about their Soul , Body , Self-Love and the Holy Spirit . Greatly enjoyed this film , and can appreciate the wonderful production staff and actors who believe deeply in their religious convictions . Hopefully , it will lead people on the correct path in life with their GOD . Amen |
417,473 | 663,392 | 424,028 | 10 | Let the Dead Rest in Peace ! | Enjoyed this film and its location in New Orleans , Louisiana , with its historic old buildings , old homes and their antique furnishings . This film deals mainly with the spiritual world and a lost soul who is trying to communicate with a young girl , Kate Jennings Grant ( Claire ) and also manages to involve her boyfriend , Michael Arata . If a person's life is cut short , the spirit needs to advance to a higher spiritual level and this poor soul was definitely not Resting in Peace and caused all kinds of problems for everyone ! If you like films dealing with Ghosts and the supernatural , this is the film for you , and especially around Halloween ! ENJOY |
416,574 | 663,392 | 47,528 | 10 | Quinn & Masina were Fantastic ! | This is truly a great Classic 1954 masterpiece with fantastic acting by Anthony Quinn , ( Zampano ) and Guilietta Masina , ( Gelsomina ) who pour their heart and souls into their roles . Zampano was an entertainer , like Houdini , breaking out of chains and traveled around with a motorcycle hitched on to a wagon and traveled from small Italian towns throughout the countryside , in all kinds of weather . Zampano purchased Gelsomina from her mother who could not afford to keep her daughter at home any longer . Gelsomina plays a very simple minded young girl who starts to learn the hard way how to deal with her male companion . There is very deep and spiritual meanings portrayed throughout the film and it is a must see film . |
416,036 | 663,392 | 43,137 | 10 | Great Classic Western ! | Enjoyed viewing this great Classic Western with great stars who all looked very young and most of them were starting out in their early careers . Shelley Winters , ( Lola Manners ) , " The Poseidon Adventure " , ' 68 played a rough and ready gal who could handle any kind of man , Coward , Bandit or Lover ! Lola was given a hard time by Dan Duryea ( Waco Johnnie Dean ) , " The Bamboo Saucer " , ' 68 , who played the real bad guy and stopped at nothing to obtain a Winchester Rifle . James Stewart , ( Lin McAdam ) , " Bandolero " , ' 68 , was hunting down one of the bandits who had destroyed his family and was out to get revenge . If you look real close , you will see a very very young Rock Hudson , ( Young Bull ) , " The Crack'd Mirror " , ' 80 , made a brief appearance . A great Classic Western you will not want to miss seeing ! |
416,907 | 663,392 | 57,115 | 10 | Great Steve McQueen Film | This film deals with POW's who are sent to a new German prison camp with very tight security mainly because most of these POW's were all professional escape artists who have dug tunnels from many other German camps or simply escaped by climbing over fences and many other ways of escape . Steve MacQueen , ( Capt . Hilts , ) was also called " The Cooler King " because he always wound up in solitary confinement which was called the Cooler . James Garner , ( Flight Lt . Hendley ) was called the " Scounger " because he could obtain all kinds of necessary items in order to make escapes , like forged identification and many other items . Charles Bronson , ( Flight Lt . Donny Velinski ) was called the " Tunnel King " because he was great for making all kinds of tunnels . This film will keep you on the edge of your seat and the entire picture is not spent in the prison camp . There is great photography throughout Bavaria , Germany and Munich , Bavaria and great scenes with Steve MacQueen riding his bike and James Garner flying a German Training plane . Don't miss this film , it is great . |
416,290 | 663,392 | 92,108 | 10 | Kiefer Sutherland was Fantastic | Never viewed this film and was completely surprised at the great performance Kiefer Sutherland , ( Kevin Richter ) , " 24 " TV Series , gave as a very mentally disturbed young man around 17 years of age . Kevin Richter just sits on the floor under tables , chairs and does not speak to anyone . Marsh Mason , ( Jennifer Hubbell ) , is a specialist in mental disorders and is chosen to take on this case , which all the doctors in the hospital think is completely hopeless and a big waste of time . Jennifer Hubbell tries to obtain medical records and personnel files concerning this very troubled young man and goes around completely in circles . There are days when Kevin improves and other times when he completely goes out of control . There is a scene where Jennifer tries to bring Kevin to a Pizza shop and he hides under the table and I need not tell you anymore . If you like Kiefer Sutherland , please do not miss this film . |
416,112 | 663,392 | 268,978 | 10 | OUTSTANDING ACTING & PHOTOGRAPHY ! | This was a great film concerning a talented young man who developed a mental condition which greatly interfered with his career and many gifts that he would have been normally able to give to the entire world and the world of mathematics . Russell Crowe ( John Nash ) , " Proof of Life " , 2000 , put his heart and soul into this role and made you wonder just how his life would eventually end . Jennifer Connelly ( Alicia Larde Nash ) , " Hulk " , ' 03 , was very beautiful and gave a wonderful supporting role . This John Nash story will keep you glued to the screen and it is a great master piece of acting for Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly . The photography and flash backs to the 1940's was done to great perfection ! Don't miss this film ! ! |
416,392 | 663,392 | 117,802 | 10 | Girl Problems | Enjoyed this very down to earth film about a bunch of guys who are all looking for something special in the gals they meet and the boredom of the routine dating system everyone goes through in order to find a lasting relationship . This one guy goes with a gal for six years and then all of a sudden they drift a part yet the guy never stops thinking about her even though he meets other women and nothing seems to compare to this relationship . For some reason , this guy never seems to realize that he is deeply in love with this gal and needs to made her number one on his list of dates or better yet a simple phone call . Lots of comedy , drama and fantastic acting by all the actors . |
416,752 | 663,392 | 65,916 | 10 | PETER BOYLE WAS THE BIGOT OF BIGOT'S ! ! | Peter Boyle was always a great actor and he proved it by his performance as a gun-ho Bigot , making me hate him everytime he used the " N " word , I watched him and his big mouth and wanted to punch his lights out . ( Just think , Peter Boyle was a Monk once ) ( Now a supporting actor in " Everybody Loves Raymond " ) Susan Sarandon making her first debut need a bath right away and enjoyed sharing it with someone else in his own dirty water . I noticed a large Raggerty Ann Doll ( creator , John Gruelle ) was the only thing that Susan could actually trust and love and the doll appeared in quite a few scenes . If you really want to know about the way out 70's with drugs , free love and pipe dreams , then , enjoy the excellent direction of John G . Avildsen ( " Rocky and " The Karate Kid " ) I always thought that Peter Boyle should have been blown away in the end ! ! This is definitely a cult classic well worth viewing and sharing with others . |
416,124 | 663,392 | 39,689 | 10 | Robert Mitchum was FANTASTIC ! | Many great male actors refused to play the leading role in this picture , Humphrey Bogart and even John Garfield . However , I was very happy that Robert Mitchum , ( Jeff Bailey ) , " Pokten " , ' 95 , took this part and was outstanding through out the entire picture . The film was very well directed by a great director and Kirk Douglas ( Whit Sterling , " Diamonds " , ' 99 , was just starting out as a film actor with his second role on the big Silver Screen , as a slippery evil mobster who stopped at nothing to make a buck ! Rhonda Fleming , ( Meta Carson ) , " Waiting for the Wind " , played a very foxy lady and had all her charming men hanging by a shoe string . Jeff Bailey tries to run away from the past and settle down in a nice country town where he pumps gas and has as very faithful young man who is deaf and helps Jeff in every way possible . You will be quite surprised how the film ENDS , enjoy ! |
417,777 | 663,392 | 25,878 | 10 | Great Classic Film | The film producers of this Thin Man Film never realized this first film starring William Powell , ( Nick Charles ) and Myrna Loy , ( Nora Charles ) would be such a great success and would go on and have six other Thin Man series . Nick & Nora Charles are newlyweds very much in love and are going to San Francisco for a honeymoon train ride . However , Nick is a detective and gets himself in a murder investigation in New York City and works with the police to solve a very mysterious story with murders and plenty of twists and turns right to the very end . This film is very fast paced and has lots of comedy with a fox terrier who steals lots of the scenes from the actors . Cesar Romero makes a brief appearance in this film along with Maureen O'Sullivan , ( Dorothy Wynant ) who was the wife of John Farrow a producer and was the mother of Mia Farrow . In my opinion this is the best of the Thin Man Films , and William Powell and Myrna Loy had a great magic with their performance as husband and wife . Enjoy . |
416,811 | 663,392 | 95,765 | 10 | A Film for Real Movie Lovers | This film touched my very heart and soul from the very beginning to the end . As a young boy I went to the movie theater with my Mom every Friday afternoon at the Lefferts Theater on Liberty Ave . , in Richmond Hill , N . Y . and grew to love all the films just as the young boy in this film . It is very easy to see why this film received so much wonderful praise and awards . There was plenty of funny comedy when the Roman Catholic Priest censored all the films shown in the theater that showed any form of kissing or physical contact between a male or female . It was a great down to earth film which words cannot describe fully , and can only be appreciated by people who love to escape into the World of Film and stories . The Actors , Producers and Directors out did themselves with this great masterpiece of JOY . By the way , when I attended those Friday afternoon showing of films with Mom , she also received a free plate or dish to go with her set of matching dinner dishes . |
417,231 | 663,392 | 22,111 | 10 | Enjoyed this 1931 Version of the Film | Discovered this original film of " The Maltese Falcon " 1931 and was amazed how this version of the story was produced . The film stayed pretty close to the Humphrey Bogart , Sidney Greestreet and Peter Lorre theme . However , Ricardo Cortez ( Sam Spade ) and Bebe Daniels ( Ruth Wonderly ) acted completely different and the cheating of money from an envelope , caused a gal to have to take all her clothes off , in order to find out where she might have hid the money . Just mentioning the word take your clothes off in those days was probably horrible in a film during the 1930's . The ending of the picture was completely different , and the gal in question was treated with kid gloves . I always felt the Bogart Maltese Falcon could have done away with Mary Astor , the gals in this picture were more sexy and attractive that the 40's version . |
416,064 | 663,392 | 22,100 | 10 | Fritz Lang gave Peter Lorre a Career in Films ! | Peter Lorre ( Franz Becker ) , " Arsenic & Old Lace " , ' 44 made his first great screen debut and was type-cast throughout his entire career because of this film . The same situation happened to Boris Karloff after " The Criminal Code " ' 31 and " Frankenstein " . Bela Lugosi , " Dracula " , experienced the same doom into the Horror or Evil character roles . All these actors were under-rated by Hollywood and were great actors who were capable of performing in great acting roles and were never given the chance , because of box office dollars and cents . I am quite sure they did not regret having appeared in these films , for we would never have known these great Classic Actors who were very under paid compared to the pay checks of actors today . |
416,735 | 663,392 | 265,029 | 10 | GOOD LIGHT HEADED ENTERTAINTMENT ! | Viewed this film recently and enjoyed the great acting of Billy Crystal , Catherine Zeta-Jones , Julie Roberts and Christopher Walken . The story was fast paced , with good writers , I did begin to wonder when Julie Roberts would thin down her waist line and become the beauty that she portrays in all her pictures . It was nice to see Zeta-Jones , slim and trim ( " Chicago " super star ) in competition with her sister Julie Roberts . Lots of sexy writing , the picture is worth watching if you want to have a good laugh . However , you must be a Julie Roberts fan to really enjoy this film , she can actually do any character role that comes her way ! |
416,881 | 663,392 | 144,550 | 10 | Richard Benjamin Directed an Entertaining FILM ! | Found this film very entertaining and loved the excellent direction of Richard Benjamin , " Lift " , ' 92 , who also portrayed former Secretary of Defense , Casper Weinberger . Kelsey Grammer ( Maj . Gen . Partridge ) , " New Jersey Turnpikes , " , ' 99 , was an Army General who was in charge of a Tank production which had lots of problems and Cary Elwes ( Lt . Col . James Burton ) , " Saw " , ' 04 , an Air Force officer who found all kinds of things wrong with the project , which lead to an all out Senate Investigation . The film made fun of all the " Red Tape " that is involved in the Military and how some high ranking officers got carried away with their TOP SECRET PROJECTS . There are lots of laughs and good entertainment . |
416,057 | 663,392 | 43,131 | 10 | Robert Mitchem & Claude Rains Gave a Classic Performance ! | All fans of Robert Mitchem , ( Dr . Jeff Cameron ) " Cape Fear " ' 62 , must see this great classic film , with Claude Rains ( Frederic Lannington ) " The Invisible Man " ' 33 , who fight over a mixed up gal , Faith Domerque ( Margo Lannington ) , " It Came from Beneath the Sea " , ' 55 . Dr . Jeff unfortunately falls in love with the wrong gal and goes through hell trying to cope with murder and is forced into a marriage without a divorce . Even Maureen O'Sullivan , wife of Tarzan , ( Jane ) who is Julie Dawn in this picture gives an excellent performance . It is a must see picture with great acting by Mitchem and Rains ! |
417,172 | 663,392 | 100,405 | 10 | Julia & Gere Burned Up the Screen | Never got a chance to see this film from beginning to end and I must say , Julia Roberts , ( Vivian Ward ) , " Closer " , ' 04 played the role of a hooker and put her complete heart and soul into this role . Julia was comical , dramatic and very sexy to say the very least . Richard Gere , ( Edward Lewis ) , " Shall We Dance " , ' 64 , decides to pick up Vivian Ward on Hollywood Blvd . , and takes her to the best Hotel in town and the both of them get very much involved with each other . The big scene is when he finally kisses her on the lips and the steamy heat blows up on the screen . Ralph Bellamy , ( James Morse ) , " Rosemary's Baby " , ' 68 , played a business man in this picture and made this his final film , going to the big screen in the Sky . Ralph Bellamy was a veteran actor from the early 20's , 30's & 40's . If you missed this film , make sure to see it the next time it is on TV . The music is fantastic and you will remember these songs like they were yesterday . |
417,238 | 663,392 | 57,226 | 10 | A Great Classic Hammer Film ! | Some how I missed this Vampire film and was able to view this film in the wee hours of the AM . It starts off with a very young English couple who are just married and very much in love who run out of gasoline . The groom decides to look for fuel and his bride becomes restless waiting and is cautioned by Dr . Davna ( Noel Williams ) , " The Odessa File " , ' 74 , not to wander very far them her antique vehicle . The couple eventually meet Clifford Evans ( Professor Zimmer ) , " One Brief Summer " , ' 66 who is the Vampire of all Vamps , and falls in love with Jennifer Daniel ( Marianne Harcourt ) , " Love Is all There Is " , ' 96 , the young bride and does everything possible to steal her for his own . Edward de Souza ( Gerald Harcourt ) , " Jane Eyre " , ' 96 seeks the assistance of Dr . Davna . There are lots of BATS flying around and the bride even spits in the grooms face . This is a worth while film to view , it is different than most Vampire films and is good entertainment ! |
417,282 | 663,392 | 87,100 | 10 | A GREAT FILM OF ANTHONY PERKINS ! | If you are an Anthony Perkins fan , you will enjoy the great acting talents that he performed in this picture along with Kathleen Turner ( China Doll Blue ) It took a great deal of talent for Perkins to play ( Rev . Peter Shayne ) . It is a film that cannot be taken seriously and has a great deal of laughs and is a great escape from reality . Perkins preached and preached about sex and sin and tried so hard to convert China Blue , but failed very badly as a preacher ! Kathleen Turner went wild trying to please all her men customers , she had a different hat for every occasion . |
417,638 | 663,392 | 22,017 | 10 | Masterpiece of Work in 1931 | The name of this film alone made me want to see just what it was all about , so I taped this film during the early hours of the AM . If you ever wanted to see what miners had to go through during the early days and actually see a dramatic scene when the mine crumbles in on the men . This film clearly wants to show that Germany and France can work together and be friends after WW I and how the Germans came to the aid of the French miners much to the unbelief of the French townsfolk . The actors were all outstanding , with unusual scenes in the mine with a horse and a small young boy who worked in the mine . There is an old old retired miner who manges to go down the mine by ladder when the elevator breaks down . If you are a real film buff , this is a film you will not want to miss . |
418,134 | 663,392 | 424,136 | 10 | Shocking | This film starts off with a young girl talking on the Internet with an older man and eventually they both agree to meet at a certain place . This girl is Hayley Stark , ( Ellen Page ) and she is a very mature girl at the age of 14 years compared to Jeff Kohlver , ( Patrick Wilson ) age 32 . Hayley goes along with their visit together and there are times when she teases him , but in the back of her mind she believes he is a pedophile . All of a sudden Hayley decides to take matters into her own hands and she decides to practice being a surgeon from a textbook . This is a very shocking film and I know you will never be able to figure out how this film will end . Surprise WOW |
417,643 | 663,392 | 47,408 | 10 | Louis Calhern & Liz Taylor Carried this film on their BACK ! | If you are a great lover of the classic piano and violin solos and want to see Elizabeth Taylor portray her real personality with men , as she did in real life with husbands , this is the picture for YOU ! Elizabeth Taylor ( Louise Durant ) , " Secret Ceremony " , ' 68 was a woman who fell in love with two men who had great talent . Vittorio Gassman ( Paul Bronte ) , " Mambo " , ' 55 , who was a struggling violin player who caught Louise's eye and captured her heart strings . John Ericson ( James Guest ) , " Bad Day at Black Rock " , ' 55 was a piano student struggling with money problems and also fell in love with Louise . Louis Calhern ( Nicholas Durant ) , " The Asphalt Jungle " , ' 50 was Louise's father who had plenty of money to allow his daughter to do as she pleased , but seemed to give her great advice when she needed it . Vittorio Gassman came to America to actor in a few films and later on become a great star in Italy , like our Spencer Tracy in the US . Louis Calhern was a great veteran of the screen and gave an outstanding supporting role to Liz Taylor . Much credit should be given to a great violinist , Michael Rabin who performed all the solos . |
416,062 | 663,392 | 43,014 | 10 | One of Billy Wilder's Greatest films ! | The first time I viewed this film in 1950 , I was spellbound , even though it was in black and white , just seeing a man floating in a swimming pool face down in a dead man's float , had me wondering just where this picture was going to take me . William Holden ( Joe Gillis ) " Picnic " ' 55 I had seen before in other films . Gloria Swanson ( Norma Desmond ) " Airport " ' 75 kept me wondering why she was so attracted to Joe Gillis , who could have been her grandson in this picture . After seeing Erich von Stroheim ( Max von Mayerling ) " The Mask of Dijon " ' 46 who gave a very strange performance as a butler , housekeeper and who was madly in love with Norma Desmond along with acting like a Nazi and her personal film director . I just wondered how the story was going to turn out in the end . Billy Wilder brought back to the screen in 1950 , great Silent film stars with Gloria Swanson and Erich von Stroheim who was an assistant director to D . W . Griffith , " Birth of a Nation " . Gloria Swanson was a famous actress and after this film , her career took off once again , with Films , Television and many business ventures . When Billy Wilder made pictures , they all became great CLASSICS for all generations to view and enjoy . |
416,526 | 663,392 | 69,857 | 10 | Classic Acting | Had no idea just how I was going to react to this film and after being rather patient with the slow action taking place in the beginning of the picture , it became interesting . The story is about monks who live in a rather remote area and live with only the bare necessities of life . Their leader is Trevor Howard , ( The Abbot ) , who has caused a great deal of problems with Rome by wanting to say Mass in Latin rather than English . There are other controversial subjects which are mentioned in the film about Communion and how the Body and Blood of Christ is portrayed and how Faith plays a big role in determining how a person wants to believe . Martin Sheen , ( Father Kinsella ) , is a young priest who travels to Rome and tries to stop the problem with Mass still being said in Latin . The Abbot , has some very deep dark secrets which are quite unbelievable , because of the position he holds in the church . If you are not interested in any kind of religion , this is not the film for you . |
416,079 | 663,392 | 22,059 | 10 | GREAT 1931 CLASSIC FILM ! | I have never seen this film up until recently and was amazed at the great talent of Joan Crawford ( Ivy " Bunny " Stevens ) " Humoresque " ' 46 with John Garfield . Joan was very sexy and wore very revealing clothes for the early 1930's , her dancing and singing was unbelievable and she was so very pretty , slim and trim , not like the real " Mommie Dearest " character her daughter told us about . Clark Gable ( Carl Loomis ) , " Gone With the Wind " ' 39 was Ivy's prince charming as a Salvation Army convert and when she appears in the park with her beautiful white dress , you just knew there was going to be an immediate CONVERSION OF SOULS ! Veteran actor , Roscoe Karns , ( Gred Geer ) played a great supporting role . This film is filled with surprises , even a little African American Boy stealing a bite from a girls doughnut tore me up , there is many deep soul searching messages in this film and LOTS OF LAUGHTER and one attempted jump off a bridge . ENJOY ! |
417,365 | 663,392 | 60,665 | 10 | Classic Film from 1966 | Enjoyed this great presentation of Sr . Thomas More played by Paul Scofield who opposed King Henry VIII marriage without a divorce being granted by the Roman Catholic church . Thomas More went face to face with the King and around and around in circles but would never change his mind and disagreed with the King and all his subjects . During this period of time , Martin Luther broke away from the Catholic church and formed the Lutheran Church and there were many people mixing politics with religion , which never is a good mixture even today . Robert Shaw , ( King Henry VIII ) , " Jaws " gave a great supporting role and there was a brief role played by Orson Welles , ( Cardinal Walsey ) which was quite surprising . If you have read some of writings of Sir Thomas More you will also enjoy this film and going way back in time . |
416,472 | 663,392 | 57,259 | 10 | Widmark Tries To Be Kirk Douglas ! | Greatly enjoy films concerning the Vikings and their history , and the entire way they constructed their sailing ships . However , I admire Richard Widmark , ( Rolfe ) , " Kiss of Death " , ' 47 , trying to play the role of a Norwegian explorer and treasure hunter looking for a huge " BELL " , but every time I saw Rolfe on the big screen I kept seeing Kirk Douglas , Sr . in the role he played in the " VIKINGS " and unfortunately Widmark did not measure up Kirk Douglas as a great Viking . Sidney Poitier ( Aly Monsuh ) , " A Patch of Blue " , ' 65 , was a great supporting actor and finally found his BELL which sorta did him IN ! Oskar Hamalka ( Krok ) , " War & Peace " , ' 56 put some comedy into this film and helped Rolfe right to the bitter END ! ! Glad to see they did not start looking for anything else . |
416,385 | 663,392 | 481,452 | 10 | Battleground Was Fantastic | The beginning of this film held my interest because William Hurt , ( John Renshaw ) , " Body Heat " , makes a bad mistake with a CEO of a large Toy Manufacturing Company . Apparently , John Renshaw is a sort of high class hit man and paid very well for his services , because his apartment suite is out of this world with a large indoor pool and more than the comforts of the average person . As John sits back and has a nice cocktail and enjoys having accomplished one of his tasks , he is taken by surprise and his entire life is completely changed . John becomes trapped in his own world and almost feels like he has been in an actual battlefield . Great story by Stephen King and I look forward to more of this Mini-Series . |
417,952 | 663,392 | 57,263 | 10 | Natalie Wood & Steve MacQueen Were Great | Have always been a great fan of Natalie Wood and Steve MacQueen and they both gave an outstanding performance in this film , their chemistry together was like magic and it made your eyes glued to the screen . Steve McQueen , ( Rocky Papasano ) plays the role as a musician who goes to a musician's gathering for jobs in New York City and all of a sudden , out of the blue , Angie Rossini , ( Natalie Wood ) goes up and meets Rocky and tells him she is pregnant and Rocky acts extremely shocked and makes her run off and eventually he catches up with Angie and he tells her he is going to get a doctor for her in order to have an abortion . Rocky & Angie both are Italian and their families practice the Roman Catholic Faith and of course abortion is a big NO NO . These two couples begin to find some inner truths to their lives and become very close together in their big problems and both their families are eager to come to their aid . Wonderful romance and a cute story which will captivate your attention right to the very end . Enjoy |
416,498 | 663,392 | 117,926 | 10 | A Big Surprise | This story starts out very calm and quiet in a average American town with a married woman , Vanessa Marcel , ( Sydney Carpenter ) , " Storm Watch " , ' 02 , who is offered a career in the film business , which she had prior experiences . However , she loves her husband , Thomas Gibson , ( Matthew Carpenter ) , " Come Away Home " , ' 05 and her little son and decides to stay home and be a good mother and wife . Matthew Carpenter does very little communicating with his wife and they do manage to sleep in the same bed and things do happen , once-in-awhile . It is at this point that I begin to wonder just what is going to make this film interesting and is it going to be a good mystery . As this film progressed further , I was very much in for a Big Surprise and never stopped looking at the screen . Vanessa Marcel all of a sudden appears are a very charming young woman who has an outstanding female figure and is full of life and determined to find out some very dark problems in her marriage . You will enjoy this film and it will keep you guessing right to the very end . |
416,121 | 663,392 | 95,863 | 10 | Lots of Blood & Plenty of GORE ! | Decided to tape this film early in the AM television programing and was greatly surprised at the entire plot . If you love graveyards , and watching steel balls flying through the air that can make your insides turn in a few minutes to Swiss Cheese , this film is definitely for YOU ! James LeGros , ( Mike ) , " Sexual Life " , ' 04 and Paula Irvine ( Liz ) , " Party Lamp " , ' 86 put their hearts and soul into their roles and experienced horrible situations you will never forget . I missed all the other Phantasm flicks , however , I do intend to catch up and view all the present and past other Horrible " Phantasm " films . If you are a nut about blood and seeing human bodies crumble in front of your very eyes , THIS IS YOUR FILM ! ENJOY ! ! ! |
416,284 | 663,392 | 47,365 | 10 | Robert Wagner wore BANGS in this Film | Have not seen this film in years and enjoyed viewing the youth of all the veteran actors . James Mason , ( Sir Brack ) , " Lolita " , ' 62 , played an outstanding role , who did some very fancy sword swinging among King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table . Robert Wagner , ( Prince Valiant ) , " Banning " , ' 67 , had great interests with the Vikings and England's King Arthur . Prince Valiant wore bangs as a very young inexperienced man striving to solve some problems his family were placed in and had a difficult time in carrying out this mission . Janet Leigh , ( Princes Aleta ) , " Houdini " , ' 53 , looks very young and is attractive to both Prince Valiant and Sir Garwin . Sir Garwin is played by Sterling Hayden , " Crime of Passion " , ' who takes Prince Valiant under his supervision and plays a great supporting role through out the picture . There is great scenery at an old Castle in Scotland , which adds greatly to the production of this great Classic film from the 50's . Enjoy . |
416,397 | 663,392 | 18,179 | 10 | Lon Chaney Made this Pic ! | Taped this film during the wee hours of the AM , as I have never viewed this picture starring Lon Chaney and wanted to find out what the audiences of 1927 viewed and enjoyed . I thought that Lon Chaney was fantastic with his own make up and great acting skills , he was truly a master of his craft . There was a great deal of racism concerning the Chinese nation in this film . However , in those days , there was racism for all nationalities , Irish , Italian , Polish , and many religions were hated and bigotry was depicted in the films and newspapers . Thank God we have progressed in our film making world and people are trying to respect each other . Lon Chaney made this a very interesting film and I recommend it for all fans who adore and liked his many films . |
416,877 | 663,392 | 29,660 | 10 | Peter Lorre Classic Film ! | This series of Mr . Moto films were very low budget films and during the year 1937 the country was not in prosperity like it is today . Actors like Peter Lorre had to find work and therefore , we find him in pictures like Mr . Moto . Lorre was also starting out his career in America and this was a great opportunity for Peter Lorre to become a great character actor ! Peter Lorre ( Kentaro Moto ) , " The Beast With Five Fingers " , ' 46 , did a great job of performing a role like Charlie Chan and manged to keep you guessing just who the criminal really was . Virginia Field , ( Gloria Danton ) , " The Earth Dies Screaming " , ' 65 gave a great supporting role and appeared in quite a few of these Mr . Moto films . Sig Ruman , ( Nicholas Marloff ) , " Doom of Dracula " , ' 66 , played a different role and did all he could to trick Mr . Moto . If you look real close , you will see J . Carrol Naish , ( Adram , Shop Keeper ) , who adds some mystery to the plot . These Mr . Moto films were usually shown as a second feature at the local movie houses along with Newsreels and Cartoons which created a big Saturday night treat for the local families during 1937 ! |
416,587 | 663,392 | 74,776 | 10 | Lots of Sex Starved MEN | Thought at first this film would be your typical Western film , however , it turned out to be very interesting and kept me spellbound right to the very end , which turned out very unusual . Charlton Heston , ( Sam Burgade ) , " Midway " , ' 76 , had past experiences with James Coburn , ( Zach Provo ) , " Deadfall " , ' 93 , and Zach never forgave Sam and would stop at nothing to make sure he caught up with him and paid him back . Unfortunately , Barbara Hershey , ( Susan Burgade ) , " The Portrait of a Lady " , ' 96 , managed to get caught up in this situation and found herself among sex starved men who never seemed to leave her alone . Sam Burgade had to make some very hard decisions and and I was quite surprised at the conclusion . This is a very entertaining film and the acting was outstanding . |
416,248 | 663,392 | 183,649 | 10 | Great Film Thriller | It is hard for me to believe that for some reason I missed viewing this film , which took me by great surprise . The photography around NYC and Times Square was great and that special phone booth drove me crazy . The film started out with a con artist who never stop lying and had everybody completely fooled until one fatal day when he made a phone call as his daily routine at the end of his baloney days work . It drove me crazy when he had to confess his sins to an audience , including his mistress and wife . The con artist turned his complete life around and even helped a NYC detective wish he had told the complete truth to his own wife . There is plenty of deep suspense that keeps you glued to the screen and your seat . Refreshing film and worth viewing . |
417,164 | 663,392 | 64,093 | 10 | Good 1970 Underwater Film | Enjoyed viewing this film which had a cast of some great film stars who went on to great careers in the film industry . Keir Dullea , ( Christofer Perdeger ) , " Brain Waves " , ' 83 , discovered very valuable golden treasure by accident while a murder is being committed almost on top of him . Christofer seeks the assistance of Richardo Montalban , ( Alejandro Zayas ) , " Conquest of the Planet of the Apes " , ' 72 , who was for many years searching for this very treasure that Perdeger just found and knows where this sunken treasure can be located . Lana Wood , " Santan's Mistress " , ' 82 gave plenty of beautiful charm to her role . There is plenty of action underwater with plenty of hungry sharks and a great film for the 1970's . In present day life , Lana Wood is struggling with an illness and my thoughts are with her family and I wish her the very best . |
416,315 | 663,392 | 40,186 | 10 | A Very Hard Film to Obtain | Over the years I have always admired everything that Carole Landis performed in on the Silver Screen . This was her last film before her untimely death and a friend loaned me the tape which I have always wanted to see . I was not disappointed in the story or the acting , however , Carole Landis was simply beautiful and very sexy in her final role and was able to keep this film from completely falling a part . I simply cannot understand why this film is not shown on our regular TV stations in America , it is truly a great Landis Film . However , a real great film that Carole Landis performed in was , " I Wake Up Screaming " , along with many other great veteran actors . If you love her films , try and view this last Swan Song for Carole . |
417,335 | 663,392 | 486,506 | 10 | Refreshing Story | This film was very refreshing to watch and enjoy because of the very down to earth story of a small town after WW II and the deep effects war has on people and how it can ruin people mentally and physically . Chris Klein , ( Noah ) , " The Long Weekend " , plays the role of a soldier wandering around and just plain getting out in nature and sleeping under the stars and mostly fishing . Noah meets up with an old gentleman who tells him how to fish like a professional and also directs him on the right path for him to take into a wonderful valley where there is a nice small town and good fishing in a lake . Noah meets up with all the local town people and also with Gretchen Mol ( Eleanor ) " Attracton " who gives a great performance as a woman who is deeply troubled and living with a grandmother who only wants to eat Hersey Bars . Sweet lovable story back when they had rumble seats in the back of cars . Enjoy |
418,062 | 663,392 | 48,789 | 10 | Edward G . Robinson at His Very Best | This is a great Western story with outstanding veteran actors who made this film great entertainment to view and enjoy . Glenn Ford , ( John Parrish ) , " Midway " , ' 76 tries to play low key after having experienced battles in the war and plays the peace maker role for the time being . John Parrish decides the town is entirely too rough and tough and goes to visit Barbara Stanwyck , ( Martha Wilkison ) , " Crime of Passion " , 57 , who is the wife of Edward G . Robinson , ( Lee Wilkison ) , " The Red House " , ' 47 . Lee Wilkison , offers John Parrish Fifteen Thousand Dollars for his ranch and John turns down the offer . Lee Wilkson decides to have his son , Brian Keith , ( Cole Wilkison ) , " The Wind & the Lion " , ' 75 , change his mind in more ways than one . There are romantic scenes between May Wynn , ( Caroline Vail ) , " The Caine Mutiny " , ' 54 , and John Parrish and some hot encounters with Dianne Foster ( Judith Wilkison ) , " Three Hours to Kill " , ' 54 , who hates her father Lee . If you like Edward G . Robinson and Glenn Ford films , this is a film you will want to view and enjoy from beginning to end . |
417,046 | 663,392 | 94,712 | 10 | Outstanding Film with Glover & Hackman | Missed this 1988 film and just recently viewed this outstanding film concerning the Vietnam War . Danny Glover , ( Capt . Bartholomew Clark ) , " Missing in America " , ' 05 , who has a flying mission concerning the whereabouts of Gene Hackman , ( Lt . Col . Iceal Hambleton ) , " Class Action " , ' 91 , who experiences many difficulties and finds out the real truth about what WAR IS ALL ABOUT . They even map out a plan to use a golf course in order to accomplish their mission . There is plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seats . Whenever Gene Hackman or Danny Glover appear in a film , you know it will be well worth your time . ENJOY |
416,246 | 663,392 | 293,662 | 10 | Transporter Broke the Rules | Glad I decided to watch this film on TV as I really wanted an action filled film with a great plot and I soon found out this film had everything from Soup to Nuts . Jason Statham , ( Frank Martin ) , " Cellular " , ' 04 , was a no mess around guy , who did all his work by the book , in other words , Step 1 . , Step 2 . , & Step 3 . No names mentioned and a prompt delivery of the merchandise and never open up the cargo to be delivered . Frank Martin had a fancy life style and lived in a fabulous home and had great talents in driving a car where no one else would dream of driving . However , Frank made a bad mistake and happened to opened up a bag of hot enjoyment and trouble . In this film there is plenty of action , even romantic and sexy scenes and bloody fights and very fancy steps of self-defense . QI Shu ( Lai ) , " Mei Ren Cao " , ' 03 , gave a great supporting role to Frank Martin and managed to get him just where she wanted him , flat on his back . If you want to see a really great entertaining film , this flick will never bore you to death . |
416,982 | 663,392 | 82,592 | 10 | Great Thriller | This was a great 1981 film which had a great story about three men and two girls who go on a camping trip together and go through thick woods and high mountains with a great water fall . This group of people run into property owned by George Kennedy , ( Roy McLean ) who plays the role as a Forest Ranger and rides a white horse . Roy McLean warns these young people that where they are going is no area for camping and they should turn back .

418,181 | 663,392 | 51,501 | 10 | A Great Cast of Superstars ! | This film classic of 1958 depicts all the superstars of the silver screen very young , Angie Dickinson ( Eileen Kelly ) " Dressed to Kill " ' 80 is very hard to recognize , however , her sexual charm is always present in this film . Ingar Stevens ( Mrs . John Molner ) " The Farmers Daughter " ' 63 TV Series , was very young and beautiful as James Mason's ( John Molner ) " Lolita " ' 62 wife , Ingar Stevens was an unappreciated actress and unfortunately took her own life in 1970 at the very height of her career . Rod Steiger ( Paul Hoplin ) " No Way to Treat A Lady " ' 68 played the role of a mastermind with a fool proof way of making a half a million dollars by kidnapping Mr . & Mrs . Molner and their daughter . The black & white photography of NYC made this picture a real classic film for many future generations to enjoy and the wonderful talent of these great SUPERSTARS ! Be sure to view it the next time it is on TV . |
416,402 | 663,392 | 144,214 | 10 | A very Naughty General's Daughter ! | Enjoyed reading Nelson DeMille's novel which went into more detail concerning the General's Daughter and all the characters who played a major role in this film . John Travolta , ( Warr . Off . Paul Brenner / Sgt . Frank White ) , " Basic " , ' 03 , played an undercover agent , who at times used a Southern accent to accomplish his investigations . The General's Daughter was able to help Sgt . Frank White change a tire and he was charmed by her very sexy looks and great personality . Madeleine Stowe ( Warr . Off . Sara Sunhill ) , " Octave " , ' 03 , worked side by side with Paul Brenner in order to find out just what Timothy Hutton ( Col . William Kent ) , " Secret Window " , ' 04 was doing in his spare time with the General's Daughter , who had a very active sex life with many men . James Woods , ( Col . Robert Moore ) , " The Girl's Life " , ' 03 , had many many secrets that Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill had to investigate . This is a good John Travolta film , with out his dancing around , and an entirely different role of acting . Enjoy ! |
417,597 | 663,392 | 64,116 | 10 | Fantastic WESTERN ! | Must have been busy during the year 1968 to have missed such a great Western film with Great Actors of the Silver Screen ! The picture captured my interest from the very start to the finish . The photography of the pioneer days with a railroad being built in great detail , old railroad cars and outstanding scenery made this a Classic Film . Henry Fonda , ( Frank ) , " Home to Stay " , ' 78 TV , played a very very hateful character who caused a great deal of pain to many people in this film . Claudia Cardinale , ( Jill McBain ) , " Sniper " , ' 87 , was a very strong willed woman who would do ANYTHING to save her life or her ambitions and had some very warm and sexy scenes . Jason Robards , ( Manuel ' Cheyenne ' Gulierrez ) , " Square Dance " , ' 87 , played a very interesting character who had a great deal of depth to his way of thinking ! Charles Bronson , ( Harmonica ) , " Love & Bullets " , ' 79 , made his eyes pierce right into your body and soul and had a great PAYBACK to finalize with a certain PERSON ! Great film , ENJOY ! |
417,094 | 663,392 | 74,802 | 10 | MARGAUX HEMINGWAY WAS A GREAT ACTRESS ! | Just viewed this film and found it fantastic , there was no mention in the horrible rape case about DNA , no such thing existed . This film showed exactly what a woman goes through when she is raped , it needs to be viewed and observed by appreciative fans of Margaux Hemingway , who gave a wonderful performance . |
416,767 | 663,392 | 1,097,649 | 10 | Need a Tissue Box with this Film | Enjoyed this great Hallmark Theatre Presentation which had a very down to earth dramatic event which happens in people's lives and two women who both experience horrible events in their lives .
