417,679 | 663,392 | 278,504 | 10 | The Truth is the Only Way to Solve a Problem | Whenever Al Pacino appears in a film you can just bet the film is going to be a complete knock out punch for the viewers . In this picture , Al Pacino ( Detective Will Dormer , ) , " Any Given Sunday " , ' 99 , plays a very successful cop who has a very keen sense in a crime situation and can almost smell the criminal . When Det . Dormer questions a suspect he looks right through them and his questions turn them into pure Butter . Hilary Swank , ( Det . Ellie Burr ) , " The Core " , ' 03 , simply had the hots for Will Dormer and adored his great history of solving crimes over the many years . Robin Williams , ( Walter Finch ) , " One Hour Photo " , ' 02 , gave an outstanding supporting role , who played a real weird character who wanted to work out a deal with Will Dormer to solve his problems and Will's . The moral to this story is that the Truth is the only path to follow in any situation in LIFE . |
417,938 | 663,392 | 117,515 | 10 | A Film That Touches the Heart ! | This film caught me off guard when I viewed young boys picking adults pockets in a crowd in NYC and policemen blowing their whistles like in London , England . Then you observe a young girl placing a basket on a wagon and the boys taking off with a baby in the basket . These boys manage to purchase a train ticket and head West with the baby girl , Mary Rose , ( Jennifer Garner ) . It was hard to believe these boys planned on taking care of Mary Rose since they were very poor and very young . This picture clearly shows the great love these young boys had for their adopted sister and people of all different races and backgrounds who were able to join their family of love . This is a film I could very well see over and over again . |
416,141 | 663,392 | 109,997 | 10 | LUCINDA WEIST WAS A SEXY GHOST ! ! | This film kept me guessing throughout the entire picture , the photography and location was simply beautiful . Ally Sheedy ( Susan Enright ) " A Good Night to Die " ' 03 and William R . Moses ( Mark Enright ) " The Painting " ' 02 picked out a very old beautiful Victorian Home with a hidden Widows Watch room with all kinds of treasures from the past history of the occupants . Susan and Mark wanted to start a nice BED & BREAKFAST and have a new start in life after Mark had an affair and they were drifting apart as husband and wife . The home is also occupied by spirits who are troubled and wish to do the same to Susan & Mark . Lucinda Weist ( Sara Warner ) " Net Worth " , is really a mistress Ghost from the past and tries to capture Mark's heart and soul with very tempting scenes . Sara finally decides to take a nice swim into the ocean and leaving plenty of questions unanswered . Veteran actress , Louise Fletcher , " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest , ' 75 tires to help Susan cope with all the mysterious things that happen in this mysterious lovely haunted B & B ! ! ! ! |
416,333 | 663,392 | 36,239 | 10 | A very Slow Paced Film but Excellent Moral Story | This black and white picture was filmed while Denmark was occupied by the Nazi in World War II . This film clearly shows the simple living conditions with a family who has a mentally disturbed son who thinks he is Jesus Christ and goes around quoting Bible scripture and is able to tell tragic situations that seem to face the family long before they happen . The acting was very well performed by all the actors and the director of the film showed his great talent in portraying deep facts about LIFE & DEATH and what LIFE is all about , which we all eventually face in the course of our lives on earth , sooner or later . You have to have a great deal of patience with this film , as it is very slow paced and very long and drawn out . Try to view the picture to the very End . |
416,713 | 663,392 | 117,626 | 10 | They Got Away with it In the 1930's 40's 50's | This type of film is always needed to be produced because every new generation is like lambs to the slaughter . However , years ago men took advantage of women at early ages in life , grade school , high school and college and they got away with date rape and just plain man handling of woman because no one spoke about such things and the gals kept quiet . This film portrays things that happen in our colleges today and the practice will never STOP , but films like this will always help enlighten young people men and woman to treat each other with respect and attend to matters of learning than just drinking and have a party in the local campus bars . In this picture , Candance Cameron Bure ( Melissa Connell ) , portrays a young gal starting her freshman year and meets up with Scott Baker , ( Mark-Paul Gosselaar ) , " NYPDBLUE ' 05 who is an older student at the college and happens to be good friends with Candance brother who attends the same college . They are all invited to a party where all the snacks are mostly saturated with liquor of some kind and of course , the main goal of the men is to get the gals plastered to the gills . If you find yourself getting involved with such situations , GUYS OR GALS make certain you don't fall into this big trap that will destroy your life and career and maybe even MORE ! |
417,041 | 663,392 | 278,406 | 10 | Great Submarine Film | Have always been a big fan of Gerald McRaney , ( Admiral Eugene Justice ) who gave an outstanding supporting role in this Naval story about a struggle between Commander Miles Sheffield , ( Casper Van Dien ) who became the skipper of the Lansing Sub over Lt . Commander Albert Kenner , ( Stewart Bick ) . However , when North Korea sets off a nuclear bomb and completely upsets all the crew on the Lansing and causes many mental problems among the entire crew on board . This is something like the " Caine Mutiny " except the Lansing can possibly destroy many innocent nations of the world . There is plenty of great acting and there is only one female Lt . in this film who assists Admiral Eugene Justice and in many ways solved many major decisions in finding out just where the Lansing Submarine can be found . This is a very entertaining film with plenty of suspense and important decisions to make in a matter of a few seconds . Enjoy . |
416,063 | 663,392 | 60,196 | 10 | ELI WALLACH WAS THE STAR ! | As many times as I have viewed this film , I greatly admire the entire picture for just plain enjoyable entertainment and seeing great actors such as Clint Eastwood ( Joe ) " Absolute Power " ' 97 and the entire cast make this an all time classic . However , Eli Wallach ( Tuco ) " Mackenna's Gold " ' 69 put his very heart and soul into his film role and gave a fantastic performance that over powered the entire cast . Trying to put this film under a magnifying glass and trying to be critical and tearing it into little pieces is not necessary , just sit back and enjoy a great masterpiece of GOOD ENTERTAINMENT ! |
417,848 | 663,392 | 25,272 | 10 | The House of Rothschild was the most lavish film by Daryl F . Zanuck | In the person of Nathan Rothschild , overlord of the international banking house that shaped the destiny of Europe , George Arliss has found his most congenial role since Disraeli . The story provides a fasinating study of internatinal intrigue in the nineteenth century . It is presented straight-forwardly , without apology or sentimentality . Because of its lack of dramatic sequence , the picture lapses into passages that become monotonous . The injection of a romantic episode between Nathan's daughter and a Gentile British office , with its mixed-marriage problem during those years , is tritely handled . This film is rarely shown over the years in America and is controversal at times . On the whole , the picture has been skillfully cast , and there are good performances by George Arliss , Reginald Owen and Boris Karloff who gives an excellent performance as Baron Ledrantz . |
416,082 | 663,392 | 71,455 | 10 | THIS FILM TOPPED ALL THE EARTHQUAKE FILMS ! | Earthquake 1974 is a classic film with outstanding film actors who will never be forgotten . Charlton Heston ( Steward Graff ) ( " Ben Hur " ' 59 ) ; Ava Gardner ( Remy Royce Graff ) ( " Barefoot Contessa'54 starring with Humphrey Bogart ) ; George Kennedy , ( Sgt . Lew Slade ) ( " Blue Knight TV series and " Cool Hand Luke " ' 67 ) ; Lorne Greene ( Sam Royce ) ( " Bonanza " ' 59 ) ; Barry Sullivan ( Dr . Willis Stockle ) ( " Harlow " 65 ) ; Lloyd Nolan ( Dr . James Vance ) ( " A Tree Grows in Brooklyn " ' 45 ) and last but not least , Walter Matthau ( A DRUNK in a bar ) ( " Sunshine Boys'75 ) All these actors made this film a great classic , not the special effects , lets remember , this film was made in 1974 not in year 2000 . There will never be another Earthquake Film with such great actors giving their complete support to make this an enjoyable entertainment for generations in the future to admire and respect . This is not a film to be critical about , all actors have to make a living , whether they are old or young ! ! ! |
416,136 | 663,392 | 40,104 | 10 | William Holden & Jeanne Crain were Great Lovers ! | Jeannie Crain ( Peggy ) " Pinky " ' 49 and William Holden ( Jason ) " Sabrina " ' 54 showed how a young couple with just love in their hearts for each other can overcome all materialistic problems in life and still strive to obtain a college degree . However , they needed the help of Edmund Gweenn , ( Professor Henry Barnes ) " Miracle on 34th St . " ' 47 ( Santa Claus ) and Gene Lockhart ( Prof . Edward Bell ) , father of Gene Lockhart , who gave excellent supporting roles . If you get a chance to view this film on TV , it is a film to view and enjoy even in the 21 Century , where young people have the same struggles to pay the high costs of getting a simple college education even in the late 1940's . |
416,401 | 663,392 | 187,393 | 10 | Great Film about the English , Minutemen & The French ! | My friends told me how incorrect some of the historical facts were in the picture and ' Knit Picked ' , the entire picture . This film is worth watching any time of the year . However , around the celebration of the 4th of July each year , it is the film to VIEW ! Mel Gibson , ( Benjamin Martin ) , " The Singing Detective " , ' 03 put his heart and soul into this role from the very beginning to the end of the picture . This film made you hate a certain English officer who murdered and butchered innocent women , children and was even despised by his own commanding General . There was lots of great battle scenes which showed all the methods that were used during that period of time in history . A must see film about the blood that was shed by our early settlers , who helped us to have the greatest country in the world , the Good Ole USA ! |
417,987 | 663,392 | 36,241 | 10 | This was a BANNED FILM ! | Believe it or NOT , this film was considered a very EVIL film in 1943 and Jane Russell was considered a very bad woman for showing so very much of her BODY ! ! Howard Hughes was linked to her romantically and all kinds of stories were written , however , it became a great CLASSIC and will go on for Generations after Generations . I thought the film was very funny and kept me laughing through most of the scenes . Jack Buetel , ( Billy the Kid ) , " Mustang " , ' 59 was a baby faced criminal who wanted the horse that belonged to Walter Houston , ( Doc Holliday ) , " Dragon Seed " , ' 44 , who gave an outstanding performance through out the entire picture . Thomas Mitchell , ( Pat Garrett ) , " While the City Sleeps " , ' 56 , was a sheriff who tried to get along with everybody and tried to keep Billy the Kid and Doc Holliday from killing each other . Jane Russell , ( Rio ) , " Waco " , 66 was definitely the Star of the film and advanced to a great career on the Silver Screen . This is truly a great CLASSIC FILM ! ENJOY . |
416,586 | 663,392 | 45,041 | 10 | Thomas Gomez Was Fantastic | Greatly enjoyed this film which had great photography in Arizona and showed in great detail the Native American dwellings and customs . Tyrone Power ( Constable Duncan MacDonald ) , " The Eddy Duchin Story " , ' 56 , played a young Canadian Mounted Police Constable who was on a mission to rescue settlers who were captured and held hostage . Thomas Gomez , ( Natayo Smith ) , " Key Largo " , ' 48 gave an outstanding performance as a guide to Duncan through the Indian country and demanded great rewards for his services . Penny Edwards , ( Emerald Neeley ) , " Two Guys from Texas " , ' 48 was the only white woman around and was greatly abused through out the entire picture . Despite all the conflicts among the Indians and the White folks , Duncan MacDonald was able to adopt a young boy as his son with the Indian community blessings . I have seen Thomas Gomez perform in many Classic films , but I truly enjoyed his great acting abilities in this film and regret he had a very short lived career . |
417,470 | 663,392 | 51,542 | 10 | KARLOFF TRIES TO ELIMINATE ALL PAIN & SUFFERING ! | Long before anesthesia , operations in London hospitals were wards of screaming patients in great pain and suffering . In 1840 , Dr . Thomas Bolton ( Boris Karloff ) , a great humanitarian surgeon , tries to eliminate all the pain and suffering connected with surgery . Bolton tries out experiments on himself and as a result becomes addicted to the drugs which he is taking . Some of Dr . Bolton's pain-killing gas works against him and a patient revives and attacks employee's of the hospital , therefore , Dr . Bolton is dismissed . Bolton wanders into the Seven Dials , a disreputable tavern and is taken over by the innkeeper , Black Ben ( Francis De Wolff ) and his assistant , Resurrection Joe ( Christopher Lee ) ( The Dracula of the 60's ) This film was originally titled " Doctor from Seven Dials , and this film was produced back-to-back with " The Haunted Strangler " by the same director , Robert Day . This film is a great old gaslite melodrama of Old London in B & W and gives you the creeps with all the cries of pain , blood and pain . Karloff plays a very calm doctor in Wolf's clothing , ready to do his THING ! |
417,139 | 663,392 | 36,244 | 10 | No Justice At All | This is a great film because it shows how people took the law into their own hands and judged men before they had a fair trial in this Western Film from 1943 . Henry Fonda , ( Gil Carter ) gave a great performance in this film and it was a film that Fonda enjoyed making and even requested being able to play this role . Anthony Quinn , ( Juan Martinez ) portrayed a Mexican man who spoke many languages and was being accused of a crime he did not commit and gave a great supporting role through out the entire film . Dana Andrews , ( Donald Martin ) also was accused of a crime he did not commit and had a young wife and children who was blamed for cattle stealing and murder . I was surprise to see Jane Darwell , ( Jenny Grier ) being the only woman who was out for blood and loved to see a hanging . Great Fonda film , worth seeing , enjoy . |
417,482 | 663,392 | 36,265 | 10 | Marsha Hunt Gave a Great Performance ! | It was great seeing this picture and seeing a great beautiful Lady , and actress named Marsha Hunt . She appeared in many pictures in Hollywood and in this picture she stars with a leading man of the 30's and 40's Franchot Tone , ( Lt . George Braynor Collins ) , " Advise and Consent " , ' 62 . Marsha Hunt , Fredie Andrew / Collins ) , " Blue Denium " , ' 59 , was not appreciated as she should have been in Hollywood and was not given the proper roles she deserved . In this picture she plays a woman caught between two men , Gene Kelly ( Lt . Vito S . Alessandro ) , " Brigadoon " , ' 54 , who is madly in love with her and also lets her know how he really feels . There are flash backs in this film about all these men who are pilots and fighting against Japan in WW II . It was very interesting seeing Gene Kelly acting instead of " Dancing In The Rain " , as he did in the many musicals he use to appear in for MGM . Van Johnson ( Lt . Everett Arnold ) , " Subway in the Sky " , ' 59 , even appeared in this picture very young and just starting out in his career . A great film with many great Classic actors . It is nice to know that Marsha Hunt will have a Birthday on Oct 17th , she will be 87 years younger ! |
417,050 | 663,392 | 265,459 | 10 | Lots of Picture Taking | Some how I seemed to have missed this picture and was amazed at the great acting of Robin Williams as a photo clerk who took his job very serious and envied a local family , especially the young attractive mom , Connie Nielsen , ( Nina Yorkin ) , " Return to Sender " , ' 04 , who enjoyed all the comforts of home and some what neglected her husband in the bedroom . Robin Williams , ( Sy Parrish ) , " The Final Cut " , ' 04 , put his heart and soul into every picture that he developed and had a very very large Album of his own at home . Sy Parrish had a very dark dark mental problem from his youth and it seemed to give him problems as he became very close to the Yorkin family and their son . If you like Robin Williams talent , this is definitely an entirely different role he had to perform in . |
417,127 | 663,392 | 278,435 | 10 | Lopez Was Fantastic | Jennifer Lopez ( Slim Hiller ) , " The Cell " , 2000 , gave an outstanding performance as a waitress in a diner who becomes star struck with Bill Campbell ( Mitch Hiller ) , who happens to visit the diner and manages to spring a web of wealth and love all around Slim Hiller and a sweet daughter is even born from their marriage . Slim Hiller is completely happy and content , until she listens into a cell phone and problems seem to steam roll into a complete disaster . Mitch Hiller and Slim seem to run from one place to another and it seems to never end . Eventually Slim decides to get some lessons in defense and the film starts all over again and has some very thrilling events . Jennifer Lopez is very sexy and beautiful and gives a great acting performance along with a great cast of supporting actors . This is a very entertaining film , very exciting and keeps you on the complete edge of your seat . |
416,672 | 663,392 | 289,374 | 10 | Naomi Watts Stole the Film | Figured this was going to be another typical Western until I noticed that Naomi Watts , ( Rebecca Yoder ) , " King Kong " , ' 05 , was playing the role of an Amish woman who had recently lost her husband by some Evil Dudes . The opening scene shows love making going on between Rebecca Watts and her husband and not long after he is put to death by Cattle Ranchers who did not want sheep on their property after they had deliberately cut the wire fence around their property . Rebecca seems to always hear music in her mind , and her religion forbids listening to or making any musical sounds . Rebecca meets up with Timothy Daly , ( Johnny Gault ) , " Return of Sender " , ' 04 who manages to start a very nice warm and loving relationship . It was nice seeing Keith Carradine and David Carradine in this film , David played a Dr . Lucas Henry in this story and gave a great supporting role . This was a very entertaining Hallmark film and worth viewing from beginning to end . |
416,753 | 663,392 | 71,481 | 10 | SARANDON & CHAMBERLAIN MADE A CLASSIC TOGETHER ! | Viewed this TV film in 1974 and after seeing " THE GREAT GATSBY " , it was a big let down . Just recently I viewed this film again and it had an entire different meaning , Susan Sarandon and Richard Chamberlain made this a great short story film of drama , romance and young passoniate love . The director , George Schaefer , clearing showed what life was like during WW1 , the music , the Southern way of living and the same exact situations America had to face when going to War and having to say goodby to their sweethearts and the broken hearts . At times I found myself getting mad at Susan , she just seemed to give all the men in her life a hard time and made you want to see her an OLD MAID ! That is good acting and that is why this film is a great Classic to view . |
417,395 | 663,392 | 478,832 | 10 | Carpenter & Marino Burn Up the Screen | Enjoyed this TV film and the great acting , romance and mystery involved with so many men getting bumped off . Chrisma Carpenter , ( Laura Clifford ) , " Angel TV series , ' 99'-'03 " , took one look at James Thomas , ( Rafe Marino ) and fell madly in love and had some very torrid scenes together . This romance took James's mind off his recent loss , however , the police were starting to question James and his old friend from the past , Victoria Sanchez , ( Gloria Moretti ) , " Noel " , ' 04 , who was a police officer , comes to his aid . You could almost see that Victoria was also very attracted to James , however , James just did not seem the gleam in her eyes or her attractive body . This film entertained and is worth your time to view it the next time it appears on TV . Enjoy |
417,429 | 663,392 | 60,176 | 10 | Great Acting / Great Film | Viewed this film years ago and I was too young at the time to fully enjoy this film which is a great entertaining film and full of mystery and suspense . Vanessa Redgrave , ( Jane ) played the role of a young woman who was in a park with an older Grey hair man and they were lovers kissing and hugging . While this couple were enjoying each other , a professional photographer named Thomas , ( David Hemmings ) was taking their picture and it was not too long before Jane realizes that she is having her picture taken and she runs after Thomas and demands having the film . Thomas refuses and rushes home to develop the film and discovers the fact that there was a murder committed on the film and this event makes the film very interesting and mysterious . There are scenes with two young females who visit Thomas's studio looking to become models and they all wind up making love to each other . You will never believe how this film ENDS . Enjoy . |
417,218 | 663,392 | 339,135 | 10 | Horror's of Men in Prison | Jean-Claude Van Damme , ( Kyle ) , " Wake of Death " , ' 04 , wound up in prison just because of police stupidity and has a life sentence in a place no person would ever want to stay even for five ( 5 ) minutes . Kyle encounters all kinds of strange people and very horny men who desire sex the Hersey way and lots more . The prison personnel and their wives enjoyed watching boxing matches in which the prisoners fought to kill each other . There was all kinds of corruption among the guards and inmates , some of them betrayed their fellow inmates , which sent them to sewers and filthy conditions to sleep and eat . Jean-Claude Van Damme and the cast of actors did a fantastic acting performance , a very graphic story about the horrors of men in prison . |
416,300 | 663,392 | 74,906 | 10 | Marlon Brando was Fantastic ! | When I first viewed this film I was completely captivated by the great acting of both Jack Nicholson , " The Last Tycoon " , ' 76 and Marlon Brando , " Sayonara " , ' 57 . I was completely shocked by the way this picture ended and I always remembered the ending and forgot the entire story . The entire picture starts off weird , where you are seeing a man swinging from a rope around his neck and dying quite slowly . However , this unfortunate guy stole a horse and it was a major offense in the State of Missouri and the story revolves around a gang lead by Jack Nicholson who is burning out from trying to steal horses for a living and decides to send some of his gang into Canada for some fresh horses . Kathleen Floyd ( Jane Braxton ) , " The Car " , ' 77 , who plays a very sexy role and is bold enough to ask Jack Nicholson if he wants sexual intercourse on their second date . Marlon Brando plays the role of a Hawk , who searches out horse thieves and uses every horrible way in order to torture them with a horrible evil deed . I believe Brando put his heart and soul completely into playing this role and it is truly a masterpiece which I will never forget . He is and always will be one of our great Film Actors of all TIME ! |
416,312 | 663,392 | 90,203 | 10 | Page Finally Won an Oscar | Always have been a big fan of Geraldine Page and in this film Page played the role of an older woman , ( Mrs . Carrie Watts ) who lives with her son , Ludie Watts , ( John Heard ) and his wife , Jessie Mae , ( Carlin Glynor ) in a very small apartment in Houston , Texas . All these people do not get along very well because Carrie Watts wants to return to her old home in Bountiful , Texas which she misses so dearly . Ludie feels that his mother is not very well to travel by herself and live alone and does not want his mother to leave . Jessie Mae wants her mother-in-law to stay because she can use her social security check which Carrie tries to hind in order to make her escape . Carrie has tried many times to get away and you will have to view this film in order to see if Carrie ever does get away to her dream town of Bountiful , Texas . |
418,079 | 663,392 | 253,665 | 10 | Interesting TV FILM ! | This film held my interest in the very beginning , going back to the WWII years and a guy named Aidan Quinn dressed in an Army Uniform and starting out with his war bride , Marcia Gay Harden . They were very much in love and their favorite song was , ' See You In My Dreams ' , which is played through out the entire film . The sweet and in love couple have a son who the father loves very dearly and wants him to achieve all the best things that life has to offer . Lots of drinking goes on and words are said and there is the possibility that a wife is cheating on her husband . The ending of the picture is what life is all about and the prices we pay for the lives we LIVE ! |
416,328 | 663,392 | 196,267 | 10 | Very Entertaining Film | Viewed the first " Cruel Intentions " and was not certain if this second film would measure up to the first one . Keri Lynn Pratt , ( Cherie Claymon ) , " Fat Albert " , ' 04 , put her heart and soul into this picture and was able to make it a great success along with Robin Dunne , ( Sebastian Valmont ) , " The Skulls II " , ' 02 . Sebastian and Cherie burned up the screen with sex , double meaning statements and lots of comic action through out the entire picture . The fathers and mothers in this film did their own thing sexually and there was plenty of AC & DC secrets being with held that will surprise you . Sit back , relax and let this film entertain you to know END . |
416,253 | 663,392 | 36,191 | 10 | Joseph Goebels Wanted to be like Disney | The Nazis took film making very seriously . It was one of the many areas covered by the Ministry of Propaganda led by Joseph Goebels . In 1943 , Germany was beginning to face defeat and Goebels decided to make a comedy , drama like the Americans were able to accomplish , like , " Wizard of Oz " and many other films . I decided to view this film and find out just who Baron Munchhausen was and why they picked this person to make a film about . It seems Munchhausen pretends to be 200 years old , narrates his supposed travels and fantastical experiences with his band of misfits . He had hunting adventures , his experiences in the Turkinsh wars and an account of his incredible travels - - be it on the Ocean , the Moon or in a Volcano and in Venice . I was surprised in one adventure that they even showed women bouncing around near a pool Topless , hardly a Walt Disney film or American entertainment in the 1940's . Hans Albers , ( Baron Munchhausen ) , " Carl Peters " , ' 41 played an outstanding role and was a good actor . However , just knowing that Joseph Goebels , who was the promoter of this film , gives me the creeps . Goebels hated everyone in the world except Germans and the Jewish people who were his main target . This sure is a Nazi circus of a film which is the complete distortion of what that country stood for during those war years . Thank God America WON ! |
417,388 | 663,392 | 44,860 | 10 | Great 50's Classic | After viewing this film , it is truly a great 1950's classic with outstanding acting by the entire cast ; and a great story with a realistic view of what the Rodeo life really is and the pain and suffering that is experienced by men and woman . Robert Mitchum ( Jeff McCloud ) , " Farewell ' , My Lovely " , ' 75 , played a real calm cool veteran star of the Cowboy game shows and was very successful , but was beginning to show wear and tear . Arthur Kennedy , ( Wes Merritt ) , " Peyton Place " , ' 57 , was originally a ranch hand trying to buy his dream house for his wife Louise Merritt , ( Susan Hayward ) , " With A Song in My Heart " , ' 52 , and loved her husband very much . However , when Wes Merritt got together with Jeff McCloud , all hell broke loose and Louise did everything she could to hog tie her husband down from very hot women , wild horses , and bulls with angry tempers . Great film , don't miss it , it will be around for many generations to enjoy . |
416,614 | 663,392 | 117,659 | 10 | Not JUST Another RAPE Film ! | There is nothing worse that can happen to a young girl , young lady or even an elderly woman as RAPE ! This film starring Lindsay Wagner , ( Molly McKinley ) , " A Light in the Forest " , ' 02 , works as a Rape Care Center Director in a rather run down building with very little funding . Molly was also a former Nun and meets up with Holly Marie Combs , ( Sophia DiMatteo ) , " A Reason to Believe " , ' 95 , and tries to help her inform the proper authorities about the horrible violation to her body . This is a very down to earth film and shows how the very rich and powerful town people try to prevent Holly from getting a fair trial in a Court of Law ! A very good TV Film to VIEW ! |
417,546 | 663,392 | 74,937 | 10 | Classic Comedy Film | Over the years I missed this film and really appreciated viewing great actors from the past and present who were able to perform Drama as well as , COMEDY . The story starts out with all the famous Hollywood detectives from the past namely , Charlie Chan , Nick & Nora Charles etc . , who were all called different names in this picture . They are invited to a dinner where a murder is going to be witnessed and of course there will be clues to the guilt person or persons . Eileen Brennan , ( Tess Skeffington ) , was a partner to Peter Falk and was very young looking in 1976 , she was the Sgt . in " Private Benjamin " , and gave a great performance in this film as a tipsy blonde gal . Truman Capote , ( Lionel Twain ) , " In Cold Blood " , made an appearance but his acting was horrible , but funny , considering he is an author and not in the acting field . This is a great film to view and enjoy , even if you have not seen it in a long time . Nancy Walker was a maid and did a great job of saying not a WORD ! |
416,254 | 663,392 | 205,000 | 10 | Very Very Enjoyable Comedy | Rob Schneider ( Deuce Bigalow ) , " The Hot Chick " , ' 02 , had me laughing through out the entire film . Bigalow starts out as a very simple guy who cleans fish tanks and other details , like plunging a toilet bowl . He meets up with a guy who lets him use his home while he goes on a trip and things start to happen . As the picture progresses , Bigalow finds himself having to service all kinds of women with very crazy personalities and wild desires . One gal has such bad language he takes her to a baseball game where she can use all kinds of filthy words and be applauded by the crowd . However , Deuce Bigalow does meet up with a gal Arija Bareikis and falls madly in love with her , however , he pulls her leg too much and gets her very hot and bothered . Deuce eventually goes to trial and you will have the view the film to find out how it ends . Great Comedy and a fantastic performance by Rob Schneider . |
417,802 | 663,392 | 218,967 | 10 | Tea Leoni & Nicolas Cage were a Great Team ! | Have always been a great admirer of Tea Leoni , ( Kate Reynolds ) , " The Naked Truth " , ' 95 TV Series ( Nora Wilde ) , she had a great TV series and was very funny and sexy . However , in this film she was able to show her great acting talents and also her natural beauty seemed to explode in this picture . Nicolas Cage ( Jack Campbell ) , " Snake Eyes " , ' 88 gave an excellent performance as a Wall Street Giant and a simple down to earth Tire Salesman . A great family picture which had a great moral lesson LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN M O N E Y ! and living a simple normal life has its greater rewards , like children and family . There two actors were fantastic together ! |
416,230 | 663,392 | 389,121 | 10 | The Mystery Still Remains ? ? | As far as I am concerned , Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood were the perfect Hollywood couple , who had their ups and downs like any other marriage . Michael Weatherly ( Robert Wagner ) , " Trigger Happy " , ' 01 , did a fantastic job of acting like Bob Wagner and was able to show great emotions when Natalie had her first child and it was not his child , which he wanted it to be . Later on in their second marriage they were able to have a child from their " Second Time Around Marriage " . Matthew Settle ( Warren Beatty ) , " The In Crowd " , ' 2000 , portrayed a great role when he was asking Natalie to appear in his film " Bonnie & Clyde " , in which she declined . Justine Waddell ( Natalie Wood ) , " Anna Karenina " , ' 97 was outstanding in her performance and was radiant in every scene . I never realized what a horrible effect Natalie's mother had in her life and the evil control she had over everything she did . In this TV film , you really have to draw your own conclusions as to what really happened to Natalie Wood and READ BETWEEN THE LINES ! in order to come to an honest Ending to this story ! |
417,236 | 663,392 | 218,922 | 10 | Jolie & Bonderas Burn Up the Screen ! | This film was fantastic for the great acting performed and the beautiful location in Mexico and great photography . Antonio Bonderas ( Luis Antonio Vargas ) , " Imagining Argentina , " ' 03 , ordered a bride who was really very much like himself in many ways . However , Angelina Jolie ( Julia Russell ) , " Taking Lives " , ' 04 , had a mind of her own and enjoyed all sorts of men , especially Actors who played the DEVIL ! The film kept you guessing about where this love between these two lovers was really going to lead us . Antonio and Julia made a charming couple and especially when they were both involved in gambling with cards . There were hot scenes in the bed and a giant old time bath tub which got quite steamy ! Angelina Jolie looked very beautiful and the close ups of her face and lips were FANTASTIC ! ENJOY . |
416,779 | 663,392 | 60,325 | 10 | Under Rated Film | This is a very unusual film dealing with a stranger , ( Tony Anthony ) who has a double reason for picking out this lonely abandoned looking town and finds some tough and rough looking characters who are really a bunch of cut-throats . The Stranger is looking for wanted men for a reward and also a gold shipment which is suppose to take place in this town . The Stranger keeps hidden and manages to watch everyone , even a woman who is a bi-sexual woman who has a man named Aguilar , ( Frank Wolff ) and a young girl with a baby . The Stranger gets caught and he makes a deal with Aguilar to give them some of the gold when it comes to town . There is very little conversation throughout this film and sometimes long periods of silence which keeps you anxious as to who is going to be beaten to death or killed . Don't miss this film , it has a great musical score and it seems like a film you have seen with Clint Eastwood as the star . Enjoy . |
416,484 | 663,392 | 109,894 | 10 | A MUST SEE FILM FOR MEN AND WOMEN ! | This film kept my interest right to the very end and gave me lots of food for thought afterwards . Everything about this film is down to earth , just like everyday Life is . Rebecca DeMornay , ( Arlene Holsclaw ) starts out running away from prison through the woods with a child in her belly and hitchhikes to the nearest town . Lots of trouble starts in this town which you cannot even imagine . Arlie , ( which she hates to be called , perferring Arlene ) tries to live a normal life after being introduced to religion from ( Richard Jenkins ) Prison Chaplin . She is helped by a kind soul ( Carole Mitchell Leon ) Ruby , who sort of takes her under her wing and tries to get her a job as a dishwasher , however , Arlene perfers to sell her fantastic knitting art work . She runs into an old devil of a boyfriend ( Robert Knepper ) Carl , who tries to become her pimp and tells her to stop reading the Bible . Arlene is tricked out of her prision money to the tune of $500 . 00 and seems to wear the same old prison dress she was issued at the beginning of the picture . Your heart goes out to Arlene , she just cannot get things to work out for her and life deals her a very bad hand in everyway possible . Her mother , ( Ellen Burstyn ) is a heartless and evil mommie who gives her child away and watches her own flesh and blood be molested by a family member . This picture clearly depicts what mother's and father's can do to their children with physical and mental abuse . Arlene represents all the young girls who have gone through CHILD ABUSE and have never had a normal life since . It is a sad picture , but a picture that has a great deal of TRUTH and realism . Young men and Young woman should SPEAK OUT RIGHT AWAY ! whenever these people ( family or friends ) try to abuse you in anyway . |
416,816 | 663,392 | 36,112 | 10 | Masterpiece of a Film | Enjoyed this film starring Roger Livesey , ( Clive Candy ) who is a general who returned from the Boer War during the First World War and gets himself involved with politics and decides he is going to try and create better relations with German . This better relations in Germany involves a very pretty young woman named Edith Hunter , ( Deborah Kerr ) who plays different roles in this film and there are many different situations that Clive Candy experiences as he learns who are his friends and enemies and at the same time he gets deeply involved with a woman who is 20 years younger than he is . This film goes into great detail about the times in London and Germany during the First World War and at the same time creates a nice romance with a very young Deborah Kerr who was only twenty-two years of age in 1943 . Good Film , Enjoy . |
416,697 | 663,392 | 20,836 | 10 | Great Classic Actors Just Starting their Careers ! | This is truly a great film and was very well produced considering it was in the early 30's . Lew Ayres ( Louie Ricarno ) , " Calling Dr . Kildare " , ' 38 , was a crook trying to go straight and start a new life for himself and did everything to protect James Cagney , ( Steve Mileaway ) , " The Public Enemy " , ' 31 , who was a fellow side kick in the rackets and was also fooling around with his wife . Louie's wife decided that by taking off her wedding ring it made it legal for her to fool around , which must have shocked the audiences of the 1930's . All these actors were just starting their careers in this film and gangster films were very popular . If you look close , you will also see Dwight Frye ( Monk , a gangster ) , " Frankenstein " , ' 31 and Ward Bond ( a policeman that was uncredited in this picture ) Ward Bond appeared in many of John Wayne Western Films . The producer of this film wanted the public to realize that " CRIME DOES NOT PAY " . |
416,553 | 663,392 | 64,135 | 10 | 1970 Gem of a Film | This is a film you can view and enjoy because it is a story about a Red Neck Capt . Beau Carter , ( Stephen Boyd ) who is ordered by a General to lead an all Black Brigade to protect a Dam that will be blown up by the Nazi forces . Capt . Beau was not so upset with having an all Black Brigade , but he learned that this Brigade was given for three , ( 3 ) years menial duties and had no experience in combat . One man was deaf and there was a soldier Pvt . Jonathan Crunk , ( Richard Pryor ) who did not want to die and he would run away from the enemy . This film tells a great story about the past and I am so glad we have progressed beyond racial barriers . This is a Gem of a film and very worth your time viewing this story . Enjoy . |
418,129 | 663,392 | 48,764 | 10 | Classic Film For 1955 | This was the last picture that Howard Hughes , Executive Producer , would produce with Jane Russell . Howard produced " The Outlaw " with Russell years ago and it was a big success because it was baned by many Christian churches , because too much cleveage was exposed by Jane R . In this film , Jane Russell , ( Theresa Gray ) , " Young Widow " , ' 46 , appears mostly in a bathing suit and shows off her body in all the right places and was the wife of Richard Egan , ( Johnny Gray ) , " Untamed " , ' 55 , who had a great addiction to trying to find treasure and was down on his luck and just got married ; so he was looking for a big find . Gilbert Roland , ( Dominic ) , " Sonora " , 69 was also a skilled diver who also desired to find sunken riches from the deep coral reefs . Lori Nelson , ( Gloria ) , " The Naked Monster " , ' 05 , was a cute petite blond friend of Dominic and played a rather dumb role . In 1955 , scuba diving was a new feature and underwater films were of great interest to the public . There even was a priest who went along on the boat , who had great interest in religious relics that had sunken into the sea . There is some exciting scenes which captured the audiences of the 50's ; it is truly a great Classic Film . |
417,235 | 663,392 | 39,941 | 10 | Great Cast of Famous Actors ! | Viewed this film when it was first shown in New York City and always enjoyed the great acting of Claude Rains , Constance Bennett , Joan Caulfield , Audrey Totter and Hurd Hatfield . This was a very well produced picture with great photography of Long Island parkway scenes and the old water front sections of Manhattan . Claude Rains , ( Victor Grandison ) , " Phantom of the Opera " , ' 43 , was a mystery writer and had his own radio show with all kinds of old time recording equipment and secret compartments to hide his mysterious goings on at home and in the studio . Joan Caulfied , ( Matilda Frazier ) , " Dear Wife " , ' 49 gave a great supporting role and was very beautiful in the close up shots of her face in black and white . Audrey Totter ( Althea Keane ) , " Jet Attack " , ' 58 was very sexy and attractive . Althea and Victor both knew each other very well and kept a watchful eye on each other through out the entire picture . It was nice to see Hurd Hatfield ( Oliver Keane ) , " The Picture of Dorian Gray " , ' 45 make an appearance in this film and played his role to perfection . There was even a car chase in the end of the picture and lots of drama in an old time JUNK YARD ! Don't miss this great film , it is really worth watching . |
416,279 | 663,392 | 48,750 | 10 | A Funeral Service Never Takes Place | This is truly a great Classic film which was produced while President , Dwight D . Eisenhower was in office . In those days , this picture was not very well received and considered a very poor comedy and in bad taste . However , over the many years this film has found itself as a great Classic . Edmund Gwenn , ( Capt . Albert Wiles ) , " The Keys of the Kingdom " , ' 44 , put his heart and soul into this part and carried this picture on his back . Another great actress , Mildred Natwich , ( Miss Ivy Gravely ) , " The Kissing Bandit " , ' 48 gave a great supporting role as a lonely older woman looking very hard at Capt . Albert Wiles as her later in life Soul Mate . John Forsythe , ( Sam Marlowe ) , " Charlie's Angels " , ' 76 TV Series starts falling in love with Shirley McLaine and even hints about wanting to see her in the nude on his very first meeting with her . Sam Marlowe , is an artist and draws very very way out pictures . Jerry Mathers , ( Arnie Rogers ) , " Leave it to Beaver " , ' 57 TV Series , gave a wonderful supporting role . Everyone over the years seems to either love this picture or find it TROUBLING to VIEW and consider it a very poor film . |
416,504 | 663,392 | 482,857 | 10 | Duvall Knock Himself Out | When ever I know that Robert Duvall is going to appear in a film , it will be a good story and a great part for him to portray . In this picture he plays a real down to earth old time Western man who grew up from the school of hard knocks . Duvall , ( Prentice Ritter ) , " Open Range " , ' 03 , takes on a big venture to herd a large amount of horses over mountains and valleys . Prentice has the help of Thomas Haden Church , ( Tom Harte ) , " Sideways " , who had become distant with his mother and father over the years and is finding a solution to his past problems with himself . This is not your regular type of Western , it has its bad guys and quite a few Chinese young girls who have an experience in the Wild West they will never forget . These poor Chinese girls were going to be exploited into the world of prostitution and both Tom Harte and Prentice Ritter do their very best to keep these girls safe from harm . Greta Scacchi , Flight Plan " , ' 05 plays the role of a woman who has been around the block many times and shows the wear and tear on her face . She takes a liking to poor old Prentice . In this picture , Robert Duvall knock himself out playing his character role in this picture and I mean complete body and soul to make this a great picture . |
416,031 | 663,392 | 261,392 | 10 | Outstanding Comedy Film | Have not had the great experience of seeing any of these films with Jay & Silent Bob and throughly enjoyed every minute of pure great entertainment . However , I taped this film in the wee hours of the AM and the film was Bleeped constantly because of the F word and quite a few others . The picture featured many great entertainers and the best part was when Jay & Silent Bob invaded Hollywood and made a Merry-go-round of all the studios and even had a security guard go crazy trying to track them down . The gals were fantastic in the picture , and the double meaning jokes make you burst out in complete laughter . Sorry if the gay community found this film offensive ; Hollywood and the media always pick on various groups to make fun of . Sit back , and completely enjoy this great COMEDY ! |
416,546 | 663,392 | 25,586 | 10 | Gem of a Classic Film | Betty Davis , ( Mildred Rogers ) gave an outstanding performance that will be admired for many generations and the great acting of Leslie Howard , ( Philip Carey ) who fell madly in love with Mildred . Philip was watching Mildred working as a waitress in a London café and fell immediately in love and he went way out of his way to win her heart and this feeling never left him . However , Philip had a club foot and was really a shy quite man and his relationship with Mildred was horrible because Mildred looked down on him and played around with other men right in front of Philip . Philip is trying to become a doctor and is going to college and trying to study and Mildred disrupts his whole career and then has a baby from someone else and Philip still loves and protects her . Betty Davis and Leslie Howard were both made for this role and it is a film you can see over and over again because it is a Gem of a Classic |
416,861 | 663,392 | 20,641 | 10 | The German version of this Picture was Excellent ! | Viewed this GREAT Classic film of Greta Garbo and thought her performance was excellent . However , the German film version which had English captions was her greatest performance . Greta Garbo even mentioned to the press that the German film was her favorite where she had to make the change from Silent films to sound . Greta had a high pitched voice and had to take lessons in order to lower her voice for her future roles in films . This story was very sad because Greta Garbo ( Anna Christie ) , " Ninotchka " , ' 39 , was abused on a farm by young boys and her father left her years ago as a sailor and then as a coal barge captain . There were many scenes of Old NYC , the Brooklyn Bridge , Coney Island and the sky line of Manhattan . Charles Bickford ( Matt Burke ) , " Days of Wine & Roses " , ' 62 a Classic veteran actor gave a great supporting role . |
418,066 | 663,392 | 426,104 | 10 | Great McBride Series | Enjoyed viewing John Larroquette , ( McBride ) , " Happy Family " , ' 03 TV Series , perform as a lawyer who had a kind heart and was willing to defend a client who had no money and was deeply involved in a murder which was almost air tight against him . The film starts off with a very sexy hot looking blond driving along and stops at a Diner and mets a guy who needs a ride . The blond buys him a cup of coffee and gives him a ride to his destination . Once the blonde drops him off in front of his apartment things start to happened and McBride gets to work trying to solve a murder mystery which is very hard to figure out . Very enjoyable film and entertaining ; it should be made into a TV Series . |
417,753 | 663,392 | 51,213 | 10 | Sal Mineo was Outstanding | Have always been a great fan of Sal Mineo , ( Les Henderson ) who plays a great role in this film as an orphan in this school for boys who encounters some very dangerous men . Les's orphanage is located near a prisoner colony with harden criminals and he meets up with Rudy Krist , ( James Whitmore ) who becomes friendly with him and they both exchange words dealing about Les's great interest in boating . Les brings vegetables and fresh fruits to the guards and that is why Les is allowed to speak the the prisoners . Rudy is very interested in the boat that Les has because he finds this is a great way to escape from his captivity . However , there is a warden named Plug , ( J . Carrol Naish ) who runs this prison camp and he is rough and tough and will stop at nothing to kill anyone who tries to escape . This is a very interesting 1957 film in black and white and it is great to see such great veteran actors as J . Carrol Naish and James Whitmore give outstanding performances . |
417,908 | 663,392 | 36,046 | 10 | Great Old Time Classic | In this picture we have a cast of veteran actors , namely : John Carradine , ( Mike Clancy ) known for his acting as a vampire with Boris Karloff and also Sidney Toler , ( Capt . Kruger ) who played the role as Charlie Chan in many 1940's serials . Then , Gale Sondergaard , ( Marge Wilson ) who appeared in many horror films and also with Basil Rathbone in Sherlock Holmes . In this picture the cast is all involved in trying to find 30 million dollars in gold on a sunken ship and believe it or not Sidney Toler plays the bad guy . If you like real old black and white films starring these actors , this is a film you will not want to miss viewing . Enjoy . |
416,236 | 663,392 | 362,001 | 10 | Enjoyed the BOOK ! | Greatly enjoyed John Grisham's great story about a warm and kind family in the South who had the hard task of picking Cotton for a living and never painting their home . All the actors did a fantastic job of portraying what a very hard life it was in 1952 trying to find Mexican help and poor White families to assist in the picking process . Grisham's book went into more detail and the picture sort of chopped up the entire story , especially the scene where Luke , a young boy takes a peek at a girl taking a swim in the nude . Luke also witnesses a murder and plays a funny trick on a Yankee Lady who has to use the OUT HOUSE ! Great film which makes you laugh and CRY ! |
418,044 | 663,392 | 430,457 | 10 | Barbara Niven Was Red HOT | This picture opens up with a murder being committed and you see the killer and understand almost immediately why this person was permitted to have a very short life on earth . There was a great deal of hatred in the killers face and a real dark dark side , along with a tortured deep mental problem . Barbara Niven , ( Donna Germaine ) , " The Drone Virus " , ' 04 , put her heart and soul into this role and showed what a great talent she has to offer Hollywood . Donna gets her complete mind , body and soul into getting a SOUL MATE for life and will do anything that will accomplish her goal . Human life is taken left and right through out the picture and everything is a perfect crime to go along with the Title of the film , " A Perfect Neighbor " . Enjoy . |
416,558 | 663,392 | 55,558 | 10 | James Stewart played a Different Role | This is the only picture that I can remember James Stewart playing a con artist and all out cruel human being as Marshal Guthrie McCabe , " The Big Sleep " , ' 78 . Marshal Guthrie sort of runs his local town and has investments in the saloon and local business and sits and drinks beer and smokes long cigars on a porch with his feet high in the air . Along comes Richard Widmark , ( First Lt . , Jim Gary ) " Hanky Panky " , ' 82 , a Calvary Lt . , on orders to get the Marshall to face some Indian tribes and obtain prisoners who were taken years ago . Shirley Jones , ( Marty Purcell ) , " Raising Genius " , ' 04 , runs around in very tight jeans and plays a music box that her brother use to play with before he was taken away by bad Indians ! John Ford produced this film but really did not have his heart and soul in its production , however , the leadings actors managed to carry the entire picture on their backs . If you look real close in the beginning , you will see Ward Bond , who passed away during the filming . If you are big fans of Stewart and Widmark , and remember Harry Carey and Andy Devine , this is the film for YOU . |
417,720 | 663,392 | 179,148 | 10 | Story to tell the Young / Never ever Forget | This was a very heartbreaking story of human beings , Children of God , being tortured on a daily basis by people without any souls and heartless beasts , called Nazi's . It is easy for the Nazi soldiers to say , " Hitler told me to do it , " but deep down in their own hearts they all knew it was wrong to treat any race or religion in this fashion . Kirsten Dunst , ( Hannah Stern ) , " Elizabethtown " , ' 05 played the role of a Jewish gal who had a mind of her own and wound up in a concentration camp in Poland and was placed in a camp for women only . Unfortunately , there is a baby born in this horrible place and the women did everything in the world to save the child's life . There is a scene which really shows how the Nazi's killed innocent beaten down human souls . A film you must tell the younger generation about and NEVER FORGET and never let anyone tell you it NEVER HAPPENED ! It sure DID ! |
417,252 | 663,392 | 71,276 | 10 | This Film was a BIG SURPRISE ! | For some reason I seemed to have missed this picture and was completely surprised from the very beginning of the picture to the end . The film opened with a beautiful young girl full of life and happiness and meets a strange dark figure and her entire being changes into an a Senior Citizen ! ! . Hoast Janson , ( Captain Kronos ) , " Singles " , ' 97 TV Series , has a different approach to hunting for VAMPIRES ! Captain Kronos is an excellent swordsman and has very good taste in women , namely : Caroline Munro , ( Carla ) , " Flesh For the Beast " , 03 who is very sexy and tries to tame Kronos to her ways and bend him around her little finger . You will see boxes filled with frogs and bells on a string and different crosses made of Steel in order to capture the vampire who loves YOUTH . You will also see a hunchback in the film which makes it a true HORROR FILM ! ! ! ! It is certainly a different story and very enjoyable . |
416,249 | 663,392 | 106,469 | 10 | An Amazing Film | Recently viewed this film which was called , " Blood In Blood Out " and could hardly believe the great details and realistic way this film was produced . There is no doubt that it showed what Prison Life really is like among all races , Black , Brown , White and many more and how each group has to struggle to exist and at the same time have fun , make money and kill each other . If you wanted sex in prison , you had plenty of willing partners and it just might be a very difficult and hard way to deal with it , or just simply getting raped when you least expect it . A young guy gets out of jail and tries to go down the straight and narrow path and winds up losing a body part and is constantly trying to become a gang member . There is a guy who has a great ability of being an artist , drawing great paintings and he gets cut up and his back twisted like a pretzel . If you want to go to prison , watch this film and it just might change your mind completely . Plenty of action and it goes none stop through out the entire picture . |
416,040 | 663,392 | 265,666 | 10 | Great Acting , Great FILM ! | Enjoyed this film and the great acting skills performed by all the great stars . The complete family was nuts and also quite normal at times and went to all kinds of extremes in showing the various personalities of each member of the Tenenbaums Family . Gene Hackman ( Royal Tenenbaum ) , " Behind Enemy Lines " , ' 01 , was a very misunderstood dad who did everything possible to get the respect he needed as an up standing DAD ! Angelica Huston , ( Etheline Tenenbaum ) , " Daddy Day Care " , ' 03 , tried to be a faithful wife and seemed to get deeply involved with Danny Glover ( Henry Sherman ) , " The Cook Out " , ' 04 who was quite funny and very entertaining through out the entire film . Gwyneth Paltrow , ( Margot Tenenbaum ) , " View From the Top " , ' 03 , looked very comical and had me laughing about her horrible habit of smoking and she never seemed to stop through out almost every scene . If you love these actors , you will see them perform very difficult roles with great professional skills . |
417,249 | 663,392 | 377,524 | 10 | Great STORY and Fantastic ACTING ! | This made for TV Film had a wonderful cast of actors , fantastic photography of the coast line of Ireland with its quaint cottages and lighthouse . Keith McErlean ( Declan ) , " At Death's Door " , ' 99 became sick with AIDS and his family came to his aid along with his faithful loving men friends . His mother , Dianne Wiest , " I am Sam " , ' 02 and grandmother , Angela Lansbury ( Dora ) , " Gaslight " , ' 44 " , along with his sister found out he was gay and did not realize how deeply he was loved . Coping with the AIDS in the family magically drew all the immediate family together and they came to terms with their great misunderstanding of each other . Old and Young a like had a great learning experience and were able to accept the FEELINGS they all deeply shared with its other . Words cannot describe the great message this film had to offer along with the great physical suffering AIDS can cause to the human body . If you missed this picture , view it the next time it is shown on TV ! ! |
417,698 | 663,392 | 44,789 | 10 | John Payne Did Not Sing a Song ! | Over the years I have seen John Payne sing and dance in all kinds of MGM Musicals and in this picture , John played an entirely different role . John Payne was an ex-con , ( Joe Rolfe / Peter Harris ) , " They Ran for their Lives " , ' 68 , and got himself involved with some hard nosed criminals . Coleen Gray , ( Helen Foster ) , " The Late Liz " , ' 71 , fell in love with Joe Rolfe . However , her father , Preston Foster , ( Tim Foster ) , " Law & Order " , ' 53 , did not want his daughter to get involved with Helen and did everything in his power to stop this love affair . Neville Brand , ( Boyd Kane ) , " Evils of the Night " , ' 85 , played the crime boss who would stop at nothing to blow your head OFF ! If you like veteran actors with a good story , this is the film for YOU ! |
417,356 | 663,392 | 71,230 | 10 | Great Film to View Over & Over | Have not seen this film in years and decided to enjoy the great masterpiece of a slap stick Western by Mel Brooks . This story deals with a small Western town that needs a sheriff and there are not too many people that are willing to accept this position . There are bad dudes running the town by their powerful boss , Hedley Lamarr , ( Harvey Korman ) who does not like the new sheriff recently elected mainly because he is African American and he does not want the law enforced in his town . The name of the sheriff is Bart , ( Cleavon Little ) who is being helped by a prisoner named Jim , ( Gene Wilder ) who is a fast gunslinger and he does hit the bottle quite often , like all day . There are some great veteran actors in this film , Slim Pickens , ( Taggart ) , Madeline Kahn , ( Lili Von Shtupp ) and even Mel Brooks appears in his film as a governor and Indian . Cleavon Little was not the original actor that Mel Brooks was considering for this role , Mel wanted Richard Pryor who was turned down for the role . Great Comedy of a film and worth seeing over and over again . Enjoy . |
416,483 | 663,392 | 124,975 | 10 | WE NEED MORE FILMS LIKE THIS ONE EVERY YEAR ! | Hollywood for years portrayed drinking and smoking in all its films and continues to do the same thing in this century , making it look like a very important part of the social life for everyone , rich or poor , young or old . If you had a hard days work or wanted to have a ball , they showed famous actors and actresses having a martini and smoking in almost every scene . Drinking was an escape from the reality of having to face life and its many problems we all have to face . This picture about three ( 3 ) young gals looking for a good time , showing false ID's is an on going problem and does not end with this movie . ( it is done with High School & College Students ) Bonnie Root , who plays Lizzie Williams , enjoys drinking Vodka straight from the bottle , while other girls , Janie Palmer ( Marisa Rudiak ) and Kate Jenkins ( Deanna Milligan ) like to drink wine coolers or just plain beer . ( all of these are addictive ) As the movie progresses , each girl seems to drink occasionally and increases as time goes by , however , Lizzie seems to enjoy drinking more and more vodka . They are all very intelligent young ladies with straight A's , and have been told many times about the danger of drinking , however , they do not think it can happen to them , they really are not aware of the dangers of really drinking and its very addictive abilities to destroy your body and mind ( BRAIN CELLS ) . One of he girls was able to turn off their drinking habits with no withdrawal symptoms ( which is very hard to break , like smoking , but WORSE ! ) and went about their lives , however , Lizzie has an never ending fight with drinking . There really is no END to this movie so long as people DRINK & DRIVE and care nothing about their brothers and sisters in this world around them . The movie proved that you can really enjoy the natural JOYS of living without a DRINKING HIGH which vanishes the next day . Some of these girls thought that just drinking beer and wine was not as bad as hard booze , and found out it all leads them in the same direction . Having to drink everyday or on schedule , is a good sign you need HELP ! |
417,977 | 663,392 | 465,537 | 10 | Film Told A Great Deal of Truths ! | Most people have viewed films about problems on commercial airliners and usually it is the Same Old , Same Old theme . Well , this film had the same basic story line , but dealt with a different situation . The Military got involved and wanted to abort the entire plane and even the CEO of the Airline wanted to abort . Kelly Hu , ( Sharon Crandall ) , " Cradle 2 the Grave " , ' 03 , was a very sexy and good looking airline attendant who had plenty of smarts in the cockpit and gave a great supporting role . Aidan Quinn , ( John Berry ) , " Proud " , ' 04 , played an ordinary passenger on this Flight # 52 from San Francisco to Tokyo , Japan and had a pilot license . Gail O'Grady , ( Ann Metz ) , " NYPD Blue TV Series , ' 93 , was an insurance specialist , who made the statement , " There is a certain price we can pay on Dead Passengers " Many people were involved with the problems on this aircraft and each party had their own solution to trying to cover it up , even the helpful Insurance Company . This film did uncover what really goes on in real life , behind the scenes , when such events do happen , like the Hurrican in New Orleans . Nice entertainment for an evening . |

417,048 | 663,392 | 179,098 | 10 | Exceptional Great Acting | This film and its story line kept me guessing through out the entire picture and each of the characters had acting roles that were very difficult to portray on screen . Jake Gyllenhaal , ( Joe Nast ) , " Proof " , ' 05 , lost his bride to be in horrible circumstances and remained with the girl's parents . Dustin Hoffman , ( Ben Floss ) , " Meet the Fockers " , ' 04 , and Susan Sarandon , ( Jojo Floss ) , " Alfie " , ' 04 , both were husband and wife and did an outstanding acting performance . Ellen Pompeo , ( Bertie Knox ) , " Daredevil " , ' 03 played the role of a postal employee and bar worker who enters Joe Nast's life and gives him a hard time at times trying to find Wedding Invitations which had to be returned .

416,475 | 663,392 | 350,777 | 10 | Nicolette Sheridan Is a Super Star ! | This is a great TV movie , it keeps you on the edge of your seat and you are kept guessing just where this picture is leading you throughout the entire movie . Nicolette Sheridan ( Donna ) gives an excellent performance and makes you believe in her character as Donna . Andrew Jackson II ( Adam Hamilton ) goes from lover and charmer to a complete MONSTER . He portrays a very sick man with very sick ideas against women in general . Roz ( Leni Parker ) a bookstore owner tries to help Donna with the horrible situation she has put herself in and gives a great supporting role . This is a must see film , if you like plenty of drama and excitement , a lesson can be learned from this film , simply , fooling around with a married man and also being married yourself , can lead to Impossible Situations . |
418,083 | 663,392 | 839,949 | 10 | Great 2006 Christmas Story | Figured this TV Film was going to be the typical Christmas Story and since I like Rob Lowe , I decided to give it a try and was completely surprised through out the entire film . Rob Lowe ( Robert Harlan ) gets fired from his job and then decides to try his hand at writing a book with the constant encouragement of his wife Paget Brewster ( Allyson Harlan ) . All of a sudden Robert's life changes completely and so does his soul , so to speak . The rest of the story will make us all face up to the fact that we sometimes focus too much on material things and neglect just plain Love to our neighbors and family . This has the makings of being a great Christmas tradition for all families to watch and enjoy and take good heed to the story which is revealed to us in this Wonderful TV Film . Enjoy every year . |
417,688 | 663,392 | 94,336 | 10 | Great Classic | Never viewed this film until just recently when it was shown on TCM and found the film full of laughter and at times it was depressing and sad . Withnail , ( Richard E . Grant ) plays the role as an actor who cannot seem to find very much work and he lives with another actor named Marwood , ( Paul McGann ) who is also in the same situation . They live in a filthy apartment with plenty of empty booze bottles and piles of garbage throw all over the place and dirt dishes piled high up in the kitchen sink . These two characters are decided to get away from the city life for a weekend and convince an uncle to let them stay at his stone cottage in the country farm land . These two actors gave an outstanding performance which makes this a Classic Cult film which can be viewed over and over again . |
418,097 | 663,392 | 25,459 | 10 | A MUSTACHE CAUGHT THE KILLER ! ! | This 1934 film had a cast of movie legends along with Edward G . Robinson ( Damon Welles ) who also starred in " The Red House " and hundreds of other films . Mary Astor ( Jessica Welles ) , who starred in " The Maltese Falcon " ' 41 with Humphrey Bogart . Even Mae Clarke ( Daphne Martin ) who was on " General Hospital ' 63 TV Series as Marge . Louis Calhern ( Stanley Vance ) played a nasty con-artist in this picture and was dispised by everyone , even Damon Welles . Louis Calhern starred in " Asphalt Jungle " 1950 along with Marilyn Monroe and had a long career in the 1920's to late 1960's . In 1934 , this was considered a great drama or mystery , unfortunately , the plot was very poor , but the Actors made this a True Film Classic . |
417,836 | 663,392 | 461,660 | 10 | Great Entertaining Film | Enjoyed viewing this picture from beginning to end and how two families growing grapes in Napa Valley could have such a strong love and hate relationship . The entire cast of actors gave outstanding performances and I thought that Patricia Heaton , ( Sara Rosa ) showed her real talents and even rode a horse around the vineyards . This engagement ring was given with great love and in a way , caused a great deal of hatred for many many years among these two families . There is lots of humor , drama and cute romance with husband and wife and some live together couples , getting to know each other . I really think this story of these two famines should be made into a TV series , or at least make up a TV program using most of these fantastic actors . |
416,389 | 663,392 | 75,145 | 10 | Outstanding Film & Actors | Over the years I missed viewing this film and was extremely surprised at the great acting by the entire cast . I remembered that this film was created from a Tony Award winning off Broadway hit play and its deep look into the African American community in the 1970's . James Earl Jones , ( Johnny Williams ) is a house painter and has an extra hobby writing poetry . Cicely Tyson , ( Mattie Williams ) plays the wife of Johnny and tries to do her very best to work and keep the family from going down under during rough times and poverty all around them . Louis Gossett , Jr . , ( Dr . Dudley Stanton ) , is a very good friend to Johnny and helps him out financially when he spends all his income on booze and can't make the house payments . Super stars , Lou Gossett and Earl Jones make this a classic film and worth every minute of your time to view this film . |
416,128 | 663,392 | 82,736 | 10 | Masterpiece of great Acting | Discovered this film which was showing on TV in the early hours of the AM and enjoyed the entire story about a German actor who reached the top of his career in Nazi controlled Germany . Klaus Maria Brandauer , ( Hendrik Hoefgen ) played the role of this actor who was a perfectionist in his field of acting on the stage and was very successful in performing his role as Mephisto ( The Devil ) in " Faust " and the German people and Nazi's who loved his performance . The Nazi's decided to use Hendrik Hoefgen as their State Theatre Director and use this position as a propaganda platform in the Threate Arts and deceive the German people . Hendrik Hoefgen had a strong desire to present " Hamlet " to the German people and it seems that once this performance was presented , his career started to decline from the lime lights and the Nazi Government . There is an inter-racial love affair going on by Hendrik Hoefgen which adds a great deal of love and romance besides all his other lovers . Great Film , enjoy . |
417,415 | 663,392 | 20,534 | 10 | Boris Karloff was a Lawyer in this Classic Film ! | Just recently taped this great film Classic and enjoyed going back in time to 1929 and enjoying a picture directed by Lionel Barrymore for MGM . This black & white film with foggy scenes of London and a group of British former officers drinking scotch and soda and singing old tunes while their fellow comrades died like flies , kept you wondering who the killer really was . There was mention of the " Green Ghost through out the picture and it seems this film was originally called " The Green Ghost " . It was funny seeing painted words on the kitchen wall , " Waste NOT " WANT NOT " The big shocker was seeing Boris Karloff , " Bedlam " ' 46 , appear as a lawyer and reading the last will of their fellow officers . Karloff was grateful that Lionel Barrymore gave him an uncredited role in this film , which boosted his recognition on the silver screen . Roland Young ( Lord Montague ) " Topper " ' 37 gave a very comical and dramatic performance and would be considered very slap stick in this generation . Dorothy Sebastian ( Lady Efra Cavander ) former Ziegfeld Gal put some so called action into the film with her very close-cut hair style . Most films in the late 1920's are very hard to find , this is a gem that was great viewing and took me way back in time . Enjoy this film , if you can find it ! |
418,047 | 663,392 | 473,105 | 10 | Nice Close Up of Bats ! | Found this film very entertaining and horrifying with a real close up to a bats face and horrible teeth and angry looks . These bats had a devil looking way of dealing with humans and animals . It took quite a while before some of the local people and mostly college students discovered the fact that bats had taken on an aggressive attitude to loud , wild music and were mostly turned on to red hot blood flowing humans . Lucy Lawless , ( Maddy Rierdon ) , gave an outstanding performance and showed off her great body form . There was lots of wild parties and plenty of young gals and guys getting really spaced out . One girl started foaming at the mouth in class and caused a great deal of gasps in the classroom . Great film and lots of fun to watch , especially the Vampire Bats ! |
417,979 | 663,392 | 131,502 | 10 | Will Become a Classic Down the Road | Teaming the Sheen family together was not a bad idea and if you liked the great acting skills of this family , you will definitely enjoy seeing them act as a father and son on the police force . Charlie Sheen , ( Jake Peterson ) was a senior detective getting ready to retire and his son Martin Sheen , ( Bill Peterson ) , was completely devoted to his job and neglected his beautiful sexy wife and daughter , Meredith Salenger , ( Rebecca Peterson ) . There was a big scheme among the higher ups and a underworld gang which involved a group of characters who would just look at you and blow your head off . The boss of these real bad dudes was a very hot number , Tina Nguyen , ( Shi ) who had these guys doing anything she wanted and they just about licked her boots . In one scene , Shi got the hots for Rebecca Peterson and I was beginning to wonder just where this picture was going . Plenty of balls of fire and a classic mustang being feather dusted . As years past by , this film will become a classic , only because the Sheen Family both appeared together . |
416,202 | 663,392 | 16,655 | 10 | Fantastic Silent Film | Always liked Lon Chaney films and his great acting skills and fantastic make up which many times gave him a great deal of pain while he was acting his many roles . In this film Lon played a double role as The Blackbird / The Bishop where he twisted himself into a pretzel . In this film there is a struggle between an evil brother , Blackbird and a good brother , The Bishop who is beloved by his neighbors and friends . There is also lots of romance between West End Bertie , ( Owen Moore ) and Renee Adoree , ( Fifi ) and the Blackbird tries to interfere with their love relationship . There are plenty of ugly looking faces in these British pubs with lots of smoke and plenty of draft beers being rolled around in mugs and glasses and down plenty of people's throats . This is a masterpiece of Lon Chaney Films . One of his Best , Enjoy . |
416,116 | 663,392 | 55,738 | 10 | Karl Malden & Angela Lansbury Were Fantastic ! | This is truly a great B & W Classic film with a wonderful cast of great actors . Eva Marie Saint , ( Echo O'Brien ) , " On The Waterfront " , ' 54 tried to keep Warren Beatty ( Berry Berry Willart ) , " Shampoo " , ' 75 , Berry was pumping gas for a sexy blond at a gas station and decided to up and drive off with her , leaving the gas station unattended . Berry was definitely a womanizer who found it very hard to stay with just ONE WOMAN ! Karl Malden ( Ralph Willart ) , " On the Waterfront " , ' 54 like to hit the booze every time he had an argument with his wife , Angela Lansbury ( Annabell Willart ) , " Gaslight " , ' 44 . Annabell gave Ralph a very hard time when he invited some homeless people home for Christmas . There are plenty of laughs and drama . A great Classic Film ! |
417,633 | 663,392 | 113,939 | 10 | Two Monsters Meet Each Other | Just knew the moment that this picture start out with a BBQ sign and a car that seemed to move back and forth , like love making was going on inside , this was going to be a wild film to watch and enjoy . Eric Roberts , " Break a Leg " , ' 05 , had some real mental problems and was driving up and down a highway , from one diner , motel and vehicle he could find available . However , Eric decides to latch onto Lance Henriksen , " Dream Warrior " , ' 04 , who looked like a nice easy mark to latch onto and pester to death , which he did very well through out the picture . There are murders going on left and right and a person who has a million bucks he was able to steal from a casino . There are many twists and turns during the picture and the ending will shock you completely . There is even a Bible quotation from a prophet at the ending . |
418,162 | 663,392 | 82,696 | 10 | Excellent Halloween Film | This film is full of blood and gore , however , it starts out with a group of young camp leaders and young children who are getting ready to end their camp tour . This group are having a good time telling creepy stories and one story teller tells them about an old farmer who goes crazy and starts chopping up human bodies and it just so happens that his old home is still standing on the property of the camp grounds . There are plenty of young couples who manage to make love and there are also ones who are fighting all the time about making love or not . If you like a good horror film with lots of thrills and chills , don't miss this good Halloween Film . |
417,286 | 663,392 | 60,120 | 10 | BRANDO AND SAXON MAKE THIS A CLASSIC FILM ! | Over the years I seemed to have missed " THE APPOLOSSA " and was thrilled to see Marlon Brando and John Saxon perform excellent roles as bandit and horse owner . The photography and close-ups kept you glued to the screen . Brando was at his best and eleven years later made " Missouri Breakes " another picture to match this one . |
417,052 | 663,392 | 75,194 | 10 | Holmes Had A Drug Problem | Always enjoyed the great Sherlock Holmes films during the 1940's and in this picture we see a different side to Sherlock Holmes and many of his deep mental secrets concerning Professor James Moriarity . Alan Arkin , ( Dr . Sigmund Freud ) , " The Novice " , ' 04 gave a great performance trying to put Holmes back together as a human being and a great detective . Robert Duvall , ( Dr . John Watson ) , " John Q " , ' 02 , played an entirely different Dr . Watson , who did everything he could be help his sidekick get back to a better way of living . Laurence Oliver , ( Professor James Moriarity ) , " Inchon " , ' 81 , gave another great performance to his role as the sinister dark monster of a personality . There is all kinds of action concerning trains and lots of swords swinging in the breeze . This is a very different kind of Holmes film and shows that the famous detective has human faults like everyone else . |
417,285 | 663,392 | 29,309 | 10 | KARLOFF HAS BEEN ROBBED ! | Dave Mallory ( Boris Karloff ) is robbed of his invention , a burglar alarm system and a gang of thieves kidnap Karloff so they can use his invention to commit robberies . In this picture Karloff changes from a medieval monster and in NIGHT KEY he has relaxed into a soft-spoken , hazy-eyed old man who promises to become Hollywood's favorite grandpa . However , his invention performs Si-Fi gamma rays which proves deadly in a novel and exciting way to his enemies . The story does slow down for occasional time out for side romance . |
416,023 | 663,392 | 29,310 | 10 | A Great Classic Film | Remember my parents telling me how great this film was and the great acting performed by all the actors . It is great to see other generations enjoying this great story that was performed on the New York City stage and then the 1937 film version . Robert Montgomery , ( Danny ' Babyface ' ) , " Lady in the Lake " , ' 47 , played a rather strange fellow who became quite involved with Rosalind Russell , ( Olivia Grayne ) , " Wonderful Town " , ' 58 who lived with her Aunt , Dame May Witty , ( Mrs . Bramson ) , " The White Cliffs of Dover " , ' 44 . Danny was hired by Mrs . Bramson , who was delighted with his great wit and charming personality . This is certainly a very dramatic film which reveals deep hidden secrets about each persons mental feelings and childhood problems that some of them share with each other . Dame May Witty , was the first woman awarded the title of Dame in 1918 , which stands for Knight in the United Kingdom . A must see great Classic film of 1937 |
416,751 | 663,392 | 25,423 | 10 | KARLOFF IS A BIBLE FANATIC ! | Learned that this film was shot entirely on location near Yuma , Arizona with temperatures over 110 degrees . The music was created by Max Steiner and was nominated for an Oscar . This picture was also a remake of an earlier English film in 1929 of the novel . I also noticed there was not a woman in the cast , and no wonder , with all that heat during takes ! During the First WW1 , a patrol of British cavalrymen find themselves stranded in the Mesopotamian Desert . A veteran sergeant ( Victor McLaglen ) is in command . They camp at an oasis , and Arabs kill a sentry and steal their horses . It seems they are surrounded by unseen enemies and are killed one by one . The three remaining soldiers are : Morelli ( Wallace Ford ) , the sergeant ( McLaglen ) and Sanders ( Boris Karloff ) , a religious nut ! Karloff goes insane , and creates a makeshift cross and starts across the desert . Karloff as usual has bulging eyes and tormented facial expressions . Boris made this film another great classic . It is a worthwhile enjoyable film to view . |
416,597 | 663,392 | 117,478 | 10 | Great Acting | Had no idea just what this film was going to present and became quite surprised by the great acting and fantastic character study of people of all races and problems who entered a police station and were booked . Lea Thompson , ( Christine Paley ) , " The Unknown Cyclist " , ' 98 played a young rookie on the police force , who obtained the highest grades in the Police Academy , however , she needed to learn about human nature and how to approach people with a sort of kind understanding . Robert Loggia , ( Lt . Mike Brosloe ) , " The Deal " , ' 05 was the boss of the police station and took Annie under his wing and tried to teach her some of 101 Police Work . There was a nice appearance by Carl Reiner , ( Norman Friedler ) , " Oceans's Twelve " , ' 04 , who was involved with a mercy killing of his wife . There is also a cross dresser who looks pretty good in woman's cloths depending on how you feel about such matters , as the police had to deal with this person . The actors all did an outstanding performance with their great skills , however , I thought Lea Thompson showed her great acting talents in this film . Enjoy |
418,091 | 663,392 | 51,411 | 10 | Great Western Classic | Whenever William Wyler directs a picture , you know the film is going to be good along with great actors . Gregory Peck , ( James McKay ) , " Pork Chop Hill " , plays the role of a retired Sea Captain who is rich and travels two thousand miles to marry Carroll Baker , ( Patricia Terrill ) , " Harlow " who is a spoiled brat and does not really know what she wants in life . There is a very long fist fight between Charlton Heston , ( Steve Leech ) " The Last Hard Men " and James McKay way out in the desert with no one around for miles and they don't seem to even let up for air . Jean Simmoms , ( Julie Maragon ) , " Dominique " plays a sweet young gal who gets herself in a brutal sexual attack and takes sides with the wrong people . Those wrong people are the Hannassey family , ruled by Burl Ives , ( Rufus Hannassey ) , " The Spiral Road " who gives an outstanding performance an even rides a horse . Charles Bickford , ( Maj Henry Terrill ) " The Devil's Children " gave a great supporting role . Great Classic ' 58 film which fantastic photography and lots of action and some romance . |
417,881 | 663,392 | 381,707 | 10 | Lots of Laughs | Really enjoyed viewing this film which starts off with two crazy looking guys in a Bronx , N . Y . stationery store waiting for a shipment of ice-cream , which is believed to be a drug shipment . Shawn Wayans , ( Kevin Copeland ) and Marlon Wayans , ( Marcus Copeland ) are the crazy guys and are suppose to be undercover FBI agents . This mission gets all messed up and these two guys get assigned to some very rich white chicks who are going to the Hamptons on Long Island , N . Y . Things get messed up again and the guys decided to dress in drag will all the bulges in the right places . There is drama and plenty of laughs and if you want a good entertaining film , this is your best bet . |
416,080 | 663,392 | 48,966 | 10 | JACK PALANCE IS & ALWAYS WILL BE , A CLASSIC ACTOR ! | Jack Palance was always a great star , ugly face and hateful roles with lots of heavy breathing through his nose . In this picture as Lt . Joe Costa , he could do anything , blacksmith to all time Army Hero ! I call him PUSH UP JACK , after his acceptance of his Oscar in ' 92 for " City Slickers " 91 . Eddie Albert ( Capt . Erskine Cooney ) made you hate him , especially when he ignored a request from Lt . Joe Costa to back up his platoon when trying to attack a German Pill Box . If Eddie made you hate him , he performed his role just as the director wanted . However , he was better cast in " Green Acres " ' 65 TV Series along with one of the GABOR'S ! ! Lee Marvin , ( Lt . Col . Clyde Bartlett ) clearly showed his great acting talents and quickly became a Super Star after his performance in this great Classic Film . This is a must see movie for all generations . |
416,320 | 663,392 | 79,100 | 10 | Lots of Electricity Between Fonda & Redford | Over the years I seemed to have missed seeing this film and enjoyed the very young looking Jane Fonda and Robert Redford . The best part of the picture takes place when these two actors are in the outdoors and enjoying the so called comforts of a rough camping routine . Their first warm kiss gets the film interesting and their conversations become very comical and entertaining over sleeping habits and cold coffee . Jane Fonda played ( Alice ( Hallie ) Martin ) and Robert Redford was ( Norman ' Sonny ' Steele ) who made plenty of electricity in this cute romantic film . If you like great photography of the West and two outstanding great actors , this is a film to enjoy . |
417,232 | 663,392 | 48,973 | 10 | Elia Kazan & Tennessee Williams Film Was a Winner | Any picture produced by Elia Kazan turned to GOLD because of his great talent . In the 1950's Elia Kazan name called film actors who he claimed were Communists before a Senate Hearing and became very unpopular in Hollywood , however , he still produced many great films and this was one of them . Karl Malden , ( Archie Lee Meighan ) , " Patton " , ' 70 , played a worn out drunken cotton mill owner who lost his business and some how managed to get himself a very young bride who he was not allowed to make love to until she was 20 years of age . Archie went around the house being a peeping tom looking through holes in the walls at his bride and never being able to even touch her . Carroll Baker , ( Baby Doll ) , " Jackpot " , ' 92 , was the young child bride to Archie and seemed to tease him constantly , it is a wonder he didn't take cold showers all the time . Eli Wallach , ( Silva Vacarro ) " Mystic River " , ' 03 played an outstanding role as an Italian who was called all kinds of racial names and had to put up with the stupidity of Archie and his treatment of all races and nationalities . It is a very interesting film and Putty Nose Malden did an outstanding job along with Eli Wallach . Don't miss this film , you will enjoy it . I am sure in 1956 this film was considered RXXR rated , however , today , it probably could be seen on the Disney Channel . |
416,829 | 663,392 | 109,642 | 10 | Remarkable Performance by Kathy Bates | For some reason I missed seeing this picture in 1995 and was spellbound from the very beginning of the film to the end . Kathy Bates , ( Dolores Claiborne ) , " Bruno " , ' 2000 played a very down to earth woman who loved her daughter very much and did everything to make certain she had a good education and free from the conditions that prevailed in her home town . Jennifer Jason Leigh , ( Selena St . George ) , " In The Cut " , ' 03 , played the daughter who is a very successful reporter / writer living in New York City . Selena found out that her mother was in trouble back home and needed her help and it is about this time that the story starts to unfold and plenty of action starts happening . Judy Parfitt , ( Vera Donovan ) , " Ever After " , ' 98 , was a very wealthy woman who hired Dolores Claiborne to be her live in maid or so called , " SLAVE " . Christopher Plummer , ( Det . John Mackey ) , " Blizzard " , ' 03 , gives a great supporting role in trying to solve all the mystery that seems to surround the life of Dolores in her past and present day happenings . This story keeps you wondering just what happened in the past and how this film will end . Great entertainment and outstanding acting . |
417,953 | 663,392 | 20,589 | 10 | Lewis Stone Was Angry with Greta Garbo | The reason this silent film is still viewed today and enjoyed , is simply because the director of this film was Sidney Franklin who was a very famous director during the 20's 30's and 40's . His famous film was , " The Good Earth " , 1937 , a story written by Pearl Buck , and received large audience attendance . Of course , Greta Garbo , ( Lillie Sterling ) , looked very sexy and rather young and having an old looking husband , who was Lewis Stone , ( John Sterling ) , who loved and adored everything about Lillie . Things go smoothly for a while in the jungle , but a two legged gigolo decides to have some fun with young and hot looking Lillie . It is great entertainment if you like the old time Classics and great acting and directors . |
417,373 | 663,392 | 106,264 | 10 | Long Island New Yorker's will like this FILM ! | If you were born or grew up on Long Island , New York , you just might relate in some way to the plot of this film and the great acting by all the actors who portray various backgrounds , Italian , Jewish , and the league of Nations ! In many ways this film makes people think that the only way to make a living is cheating , stealing or just plain Wheeling & Dealing . Many families moved from Brooklyn , N . Y . to the suburbs of Long Island , like Merrick , Freeport , Lindenhurst , Lynbrook , and Valley Stream . This film does paint a horrible picture of evil young people following in the footsteps of gangs and mobsters ! The ending of this picture was rather sad , lacking in any love or romance , just plain BORING ! |
417,700 | 663,392 | 79,073 | 10 | Very Well Produced " Dracula " ! | Greatly enjoyed viewing this Dracula film which had great direction and production . Frank Langella , ( Count Dracula ) , " House of D " , ' 04 , was very young and actually put his heart and soul into this role . Dracula was able to defy all the Crosses , Garlic and weapons place in his path . Laurence Oliver , ( Prof . Abraham Van Helsing ) , " The Bounty " , ' 84 , did everything he could in order to prevent Dracula from destroying all the sexy and beautiful women he wanted for his evil plans . Donald Pleasence , ( Dr . Jack Seward ) , " Hour of the Pig " , ' 93 , gave a great supporting role as a helper for Professor Van Helsing . Frank Langella , and Laurence Oliver made this one of the best Classic Dracula films in the late 1970's . Enjoy |
416,162 | 663,392 | 25,391 | 10 | A Film Rarely Seen ! | Universal created this picture with a horror theme that was too upsetting for the British and it was censored . " Life Returns " was fiction and created by director Eugene Frenke and his writers James Hogan , John Goodrich , Arthur Homan , Wolfe Gilbert and Mary McCarthy . Onslow Stevens , formerly the invisible scientist of Universal's science-fiction serial " The Vanishing Shadow " , ' 34 , played John Kendrick , a doctor devoted to seeking a formula to restore life after death . He succeeds when his son's pet , called Lazarus is gassed by the dog-catcher . It was surprising to see Valerie Hobson playing the faithful doctor's wife . Great Film for 1935 ! |
417,064 | 663,392 | 35,854 | 10 | Great Tom Conway Classic Film ! | Always enjoyed the Falcon series and especially the acting of Tom Conway who acted his part with great easy and especially since he was on his own in this second Falcon film . In the first series , his brother in real life was George Sanders who played a role with Tom . This film is a typical B film , however , there were great veteran actresses like Harriet Hillard , ( Gwynne Gregory ) , Jane Randolph ( Marcia Brooks ) , and Richard Loo , ( Jerry ) , " The Bamboo Prison " , ' 54 , who gave a great supporting role . Richard Loo was famous for his vicious roles as a horrible Japanese Soldier in many WWII films . If you would like to see a very entertaining B film from the past , this is the film for YOU ! |
416,137 | 663,392 | 94,226 | 10 | ROBERT DE NIRO NOT CONVINCING AS CAPONE ! ! | Love Robert De Niro " Analyze That " ' 02 , in almost every film that he every made , however , as a big time crook like Al Capone , he fell short of portraying him on screen . He over acted and made you think Al Capone was a spoiled BRAT ! ( He was more than that ! ) Kevin Costner ( Eliot Ness ) " Dragonfly " ' 02 , stole the entire picture along with Sean Connery ( Jim Malone ) " Playing By Heart " ' 98 as a Chicago cop who turned Treasury Agent and gave Eliot Ness all the support he could in order to capture BIG AL ! This was a great entertaining film with lots of action , but Al Capone was made to look like a pussy cat ! |
417,456 | 663,392 | 29,222 | 10 | Classic Musical Love Story | If you like old time pictures that portray simple down to earth innocent love and beautiful voices , this is the picture for you . Jeanette MacDonald , ( Marcia Mornay ) , " The Sun Comes Up " , ' 49 , always wanted to sing professionally and was tutored by John Barrymore , ( Nicolai ) , " Playmates " , ' 41 who was very much older than Marcia and helped her achieve great importance in the world of Opera . Nelson Eddy , ( Paul Allison ) , " Northwest Outpost " , ' 47 , was a young singer and was lazy about becoming a great singer and often frequented local bars and sang and drank with all his friends . The close ups of Jeanette MacDonald reveal her great beauty and wonderful acting skills besides a great talent for singing . This is a sweet and very sour picture about two people who fall deeply in love which enchanted all the audiences of 1937 and will continue for many generations to come . |
417,636 | 663,392 | 114,011 | 10 | Very Down to Earth Film | Missed viewing this film in 1995 and was able to enjoy viewing all the great actors in the film and the wonderful portrayal of young girls growing into a very warm and loving relationship . Rosie O'Donnell , ( Dr . Roberta Martin ) , played an excellent role as a young girl who had a very bad habit from childhood of eating food all day long , non-spot . Melanie Griffith , ( Tina , ' Teeny ' Tercell ) was a very charming gal who desired to become a great sexy movie star and arrived at the gals reunion with a stretch limo and driver . Demi Moore , ( Samantha Albertson ) , played a very troubled young gal , who seemed to be lacking in love and the full meaning of life . This film showed very clearly how young gals confront young boys and in one scene in the old swimming hole of Summer , the gals stole the boys underwear and left them stark naked , except for a few towels the young boys were able to cover up with . Enjoy ! |
418,109 | 663,392 | 51,433 | 10 | Gregory Peck Classic Film ! | It has been a long time since I first viewed this film and can appreciate the great acting of former veteran actor Gregory Peck . Gregory Peck ( Jim Douglass ) , " Old Gringo " , ' 89 , played a man who was deeply hurt with the rape and death of his wife and followed the bandits to a small town where they were going to be hung for their evil deeds to this town and its people . Peck meets a former female gal , Joan Collins , ( Josefa Vilaide ) , " Ozzie " , ' 01 , who is still madly in love with him and never married . Josefa invites Jim for a drink and even to Mass at the town church and things start to pick up with their relationship . Stephen Boyd , ( Bill Zachary ) , " The Squeeze " , ' 77 , gave a great supporting role . I noticed that the church in this picture was a huge structure with marble walls and for a town this size , I do not think the town people could possibly afford such a building along with a great organ . Gregory Peck made this a Classic film with his great acting along with Joan Collins . |
