533,573 | 70,535 | 119,778 | 7 | Boy almost doesn't meet girl | Spiffy little romance / comedy which didn't follow in the footsteps of most in this genre . Perfectly paced with nice doses of nifty dialogue , a plethora of all sorts of characters , and a pair of leading players who came off as real people with the same needs as all of us . The leading lady was torn between her need ... |

533,525 | 70,535 | 117,333 | 7 | Man sees stars , gets smart | Enjoyable film with Travolta playing the part of a man with some very odd goings on in his life . This picture said a lot about human nature's down side as the townspeople and the always paranoid government begin mistrusting and harassing a man who has done absolutely nothing wrong . Fortunately , there was definite pl... |
532,795 | 70,535 | 236,493 | 7 | Exciting : funny : cool characters | I'm a hardened non-fan of Brad Pitt but I loved him in this one . He goes on a wild ride to Mexico for a gang of cutthroats to retrieve a valuable antique handgun . The boy has nothing but bad luck from the start as he is hit by car thieves , a fag hitman , a ped off girlfriend , plus the gun's rightful owners . . . . ... |
532,354 | 70,535 | 69,496 | 7 | Rednecks , rodeo , redskins , rotgut , & Richard | Widmark plays the drunken , former rodeo rider to perfection , & Frederick Forrest does admirably as the put upon young bull rider . I felt most of the other players were of the Grade B variety , as was this production in many ways . Not as good as " J . W . Coop " . |
533,359 | 70,535 | 109,585 | 7 | If you look for trouble you will find it | When a successful lady attorney goes slumming she always takes up with the wrong man in her search for excitement . Her lust for this secret lifestyle stemmed from a unhappy , fearful childhood which led to her becoming a high end tramp who gets more than she bargained for after her fake ' nightlife ' ID is blown by a ... |
533,461 | 70,535 | 207,201 | 7 | Stud goes all thoughtful and sissyfied | Hopelessly chauvinistic stud gets in touch with his feminine side . Started off slow and rather dull but built to a interesting second half and a good finale . Seems to be a lot of these " men as total sts " movies ; I wonder if there is a good one out there pointing out what devious little users women can be . Thumbs ... |
533,319 | 70,535 | 119,592 | 7 | one man's insanity reigns after he loses his job | Interesting look at an emotionally crippled man as he goes out of control after losing his job . He holds several children and a few adults hostage in a museum after the curator refused to discuss his termination . One of the hostages is a newsman who winds up acting as the liaison between the police and the gunman . T... |
532,409 | 70,535 | 106,356 | 7 | financial headhunters at work on Wall St . | Entertaining look at the in-fighting involved in the takeover of the Nabisco Co . The CEO of Nabisco wants to buy out the company , but is thwarted by the machinations of a big money rival . A rousing financial war begins leading to a satisfying grand finale . I liked the dialogue , especially the witty quips that Jame... |

533,040 | 70,535 | 73,317 | 7 | Rookie moonshiners run afoul of the government and other criminals | Interesting little comedy featuring 3 down on their luck folks who , during the depression , formed a coalition to run booze past the coast guard . Turns out the CG is the least of their woes as a psychotic rumrunner decides to take over the entire area and rub out any who stand in his path . Good shootout as a finale ... |
532,932 | 70,535 | 40,286 | 7 | Rocky and Nugget run afoul of a gang of killers | A gang of ruthless thugs try to run off all the homesteaders in their area .

533,352 | 70,535 | 47,013 | 7 | Gold and injuns don't mix | When 4 men follow a woman into redskin country to help rescue her husband they find trouble within their own ranks as well as having to face a deadly threat from the savages who claimed the land as their own . Only a fair western but it did carry a good finale as the rescuers fought their way across a ruggedly beautifu... |
532,683 | 70,535 | 100,031 | 7 | Little girls can never wait to grow up | A young girl , looking for adventure with the opposite sex , develops a long distance crush on a handsome stranger . This leads to the man noticing her and her mom which , instead of being a nice meeting of friends , winds up putting both in danger . Good , nerve wracking chiller containing a very evil , totally sinist... |
533,448 | 70,535 | 210,945 | 7 | Football's answer to " Hoosiers " | Similar to " Hoosiers " but a totally different story just the same . Washington was perfect as the hard nosed coach dedicated to winning . His efforts to bring the players together as a unit and the boys attitudes toward him and each other made for a very good drama . I foretold the ending , plus the picture contained... |
532,484 | 70,535 | 73,229 | 7 | Mad bomber goes on rampage | Spacek plays the part of a girl who lets her emotions and liberal attitudes turn her into a maniac bomber . Her warped mind convinced her that killing and destroying was the answer to a better world . Much of the film was done with Spacek and Winkler sitting on a chair talking to the audience about their views of the w... |
533,101 | 70,535 | 109,634 | 7 | Nagging wife mysteriously goes missing | A man and his wife are not getting along because of the wife's jealousy and drinking problems . When the wife disappears , her sister begins a vigorous search involving the local police , state government , and a television crime show . What she finds out stuns the entire community . Good drama with lots of fine perfor... |
532,615 | 70,535 | 60,086 | 7 | Stud cavorts with the ladies | Sex fiend tries to bed every woman he meets in jolly old England . This leads to many problems for the old chap , but he continues his ways leading to even more troubles . A classic example of the little head doing the thinking for the big head . Entertaining and interesting picture ; I particularly liked the way Alfie... |
532,881 | 70,535 | 106,266 | 7 | Just where was The Kingfish ? | And Lightnin ' ? Well , Leonard may have rated this one a bomb , but I rather enjoyed the absurdity . And was it really that unreasonable ? I can see today's dishonest law enforcement trying to pull some ridiculous stunt like this to cover their own butts . View the shenanigans that went on in the White House in recent... |
532,663 | 70,535 | 51,393 | 7 | Gold , greed and revenge | An ex-con and a fellow inmate seek revenge and a high dollar payday in developing a plot to strip a supposedly mined out vein and selling the contents to a shady tycoon . Is revenge stronger than a lust for more financial gain by a double crossing man and his shady lawman friend ? Good western with lots of fisticuffs ,... |
532,555 | 70,535 | 177,068 | 7 | Once a thief . . . . | Three scumbags get their just deserts after wasting their lives in greed , drugs , ego , and bad attitudes . Interesting and well done ; this style of film always makes me wonder where reality leaves off and imagination takes over . Even though these folks were the scum of the earth I still found myself pitying them . ... |
532,886 | 70,535 | 64,418 | 7 | Wickedly wise widow woos wealthy wacko | Big , gaudy musical with lots of ol ' Babs melodious , golden throated chirping , and even more spiffy dance numbers . Walter's facial expressions alone were worth the price of admission to this event : and , of course , there was Babs looking like a million bucks . . . what a babe ! Thoroughly enjoyable picture . |
532,759 | 70,535 | 119,657 | 7 | Don't go looking for old acquaintances in a war zone | Interesting look at how a country torn by revolt affects the plans of a doctor searching for several former students . He has many adventures as he goes deeper into the frenzied bowels of his country . Most of his experiences are negative as he discovers that his rose colored view of home isn't based on reality . A sob... |
533,379 | 70,535 | 75,232 | 7 | True love never runs smooth | As Lawrence Welk would have said " wunnerful , wunnerful " . Here is a different take on an old tale , and a well done one . Most of the film concentrated on the problems of the Prince and his family instead of the other way around . The fairy godmother was played very unusually in that she was so imperfect . . . . and... |
533,425 | 70,535 | 40,202 | 7 | reporter sets out to prove a convicted man is innocent | An eyewitness to a cop killing sends a man to the pen for 99 years .

533,300 | 70,535 | 122,933 | 7 | Silly side of the mob | Very funny film which shows a more human side of the Mafia . Crystal and De Niro had me rolling with their give and take dialogue . Whoever would have thought a mobster would be plagued with a nervous panic disorder ? Thumbs up . |
533,077 | 70,535 | 119,654 | 7 | a mysterious group of men battle aliens | I thought this was going to be a sequel of sorts to that lousy movie " Independence Day " , but it wasn't . It was much better than I thought it would be , in fact , it was very funny and exciting . The men in black were a secret group dedicated to thwarting the invasion of aliens here on earth . Snappy dialogue and a ... |
532,609 | 70,535 | 77,158 | 7 | Ya can't stop those damn rock n ' rollers ! | Amusing look at Hollywood's version of the birth of rock n ' roll . Some good old tunes were played throughout , the acting was good , the radio station looked like the real thing , but some of the picture didn't ring true [ and I don't mean Chuck Berry's lousy acting ] . Those rabid anti-rockers were so far out with t... |
532,358 | 70,535 | 51,433 | 7 | Revenge , regret , remorse | So Douglass capped 3 scumbags : so what ? The world's a better place , right ? This was a good western with Peck doing an admirable job of portraying a man bent on vengeance at any price . Boyd was believable as the psychotic womanizer and it was a real treat to see Salmi again . Lots of nice Mexico scenery added much ... |
533,477 | 70,535 | 47,073 | 7 | Old salt must save the world | Nicely done picture dealing with a group of desperate men who recruit a former sub commander hoping he can stop a deadly threat on a remote island . Again Widmark shows us he is one of the top tough guys of the silver screen as he barks and growls his way to getting the crew he wants , and later on , the results he dem... |
533,057 | 70,535 | 114,319 | 7 | Business before pleasure . . . . but not love | Like Sandra Bullock in " Love Potion # 9 " , Julia Ormond went from being an ugly duckling to a swan and capturing the heart of a wealthy man who had barely noticed her before . But love turned out to be a logjam to big business so a game of high stakes emotional chicanery was launched only to turn out with unintended ... |
533,137 | 70,535 | 105,698 | 7 | dead soldiers go at each other | I usually avoid Van Damme's movies . He is a turkey actor who makes really bad choppy socky films . But this one was pretty good , not great , but watchable . The government brings back to life a group of dead Viet Nam soldiers and turns them into bionic warriors . The plot thickens when 2 of the soldiers don't get alo... |
533,015 | 70,535 | 61,678 | 7 | It doesn't pay to cheat . . . . unless it's against dishonest folks | An aging con artist teams up with an Army deserter to begin fleecing the locals of their hard earned cash . The flim flam man knows all the cons and he and his sidekick run several smooth operations ; doing well until they have a run-in with the local constable . Their problems are a direct result of something that the... |
532,367 | 70,535 | 120,891 | 7 | Is this how the west was won ? | Could have substituted Bond for West , put him in Monument Valley , and had " 007 Goes to Arizona " . This was a good comedy with plenty of corny gags , scads of witty repartee , and tons of super duper gadgets wielded by both sides . I despise this type of film when played straight , but this movie was never offered a... |
532,474 | 70,535 | 79,641 | 7 | Different take on Stoker's tale | Amusing look at an old story which , thankfully , isn't just another re-make of the re-makes . Kinski was a really ugly Dracula , the castle was spooky , there was almost enough of a funny side to take the edge off a true horror tale , and the picture carried a great soundtrack . The opening theme and mummified remains... |
533,568 | 70,535 | 59,740 | 7 | 4 sons to be proud of . . . . if you like bums | When a gambler loses his land after being cheated at cards , he winds up taking a slug when he objects . What was he doing gambling to start with ? His stupidity causes hardships for his wife who gets no help from her wanderlust , no good sons . After she dies the boys come home for the funeral and all hell breaks loos... |
533,462 | 70,535 | 118,946 | 7 | The ultimate insurance scam | Most of this tale was hard to swallow : first you have a attorney who cares , then you have a case which appears to be totally unprovable , and finally , a woman who keeps pulling murders for insurance payoffs and getting away with it . Hard to believe this really took place . Good drama . |
533,034 | 70,535 | 59,742 | 7 | Nun searches for God , finds wealthy man instead | Very unrealistic film about a nun who finds a ready made family during the opening days of World War 2 . I don't care if it was a shade hokey , I still liked the show . Good songs , fine performances , and great scenery . What a wondrous mansion the Von Trapp's lived in : I could go for that lifestyle . The ending was ... |
533,201 | 70,535 | 120,885 | 7 | The spin doctors spun and the gullible public ate it up | These spin artists seemed so unreal that I began to believe that they couldn't exist apart from fiction . Maybe that was the subliminal message of this picture . If they are really like these characters here in the real world , then the politicos can get away with anything . |
533,366 | 70,535 | 46,081 | 7 | Grumpy old man becomes pack leader | A middle aged man , Robert Jordan , set in his ways , takes on a boy scout troop after his predecessor leaves under duress . Jordan takes on the pack mostly to learn what the boys like so he can revive his flagging radio program which is losing it's appeal to the younger set . He has a rough go at first with the boys ,... |
532,562 | 70,535 | 156,812 | 7 | Heartwarming heartbreaker | Anybody who had a close friend during childhood who happened to be a canine should go for this one . Like most of the pooch films it was corny in spots , but at least Skip wasn't endowed with human intelligence . Of course , the mean men were around to cause trouble for the dog and boy ; can't get by without them . Fun... |
532,535 | 70,535 | 118,942 | 7 | School bus load of brats taken hostage by misunderstood escaped cons | Exciting film dealing with a hostage rescue unit of the FBI . They must try to talk a deranged convict and his buddies out of killing a group of young kids held in an abandoned slaughter house . Things go about as expected until the last 20 minutes when a surprise is thrown in which spices up an otherwise routine suspe... |
533,376 | 70,535 | 191,754 | 7 | It's party time | Funny tale dealing with a pack of drunken losers forced to go to a de-tox center because they can't control their lives . Well done throughout and , although I thought it was funny on film , I have no patience with these folks in the real world . As usual Sandra was the most . |
533,305 | 70,535 | 120,832 | 7 | More entertaining than many in this genre | Gary Sinise was totally convincing as the villainous patriot , and Cage was perfect for the role of a useless , selfish cop bent on having a good time only . Very exciting and fun film to see ; better by a lot than the silly " Con-Air " , a goofy " Diehard Goes Airborne " throwaway . |
533,579 | 70,535 | 251,127 | 7 | Not the best RC ever made | Notting Hill , " My Best Friends Wedding " , and " Sleepless in Seattle " is what this comedy wants to be but can't . Whereas I didn't yawn all the way through , I never did get on the ' love ' bandwagon and have a joyous , romantic journey . I believe the opposite sexes can and do act in this fashion , but to have i... |
532,635 | 70,535 | 92,758 | 7 | Chuck rocks the Casbah | Is it just me or is Chuckie's ax always slightly out of tune ? I really enjoyed this film and learned a lot about Berry , his past , the career , and a sometimes tyrannical attitude . Not to much on his arrest or marital life ; Chuck nipped that in the bud before it got off the ground . A lot of good footage is offered... |
532,584 | 70,535 | 51,994 | 7 | Big boat bumps bigger berg . . . . bids bye-bye | The old boy who designed this tub should have kept his plans and sold them to the makers of tinker toys . Inept seamanship and carelessness did the rest , resulting in the loss of many lives . Can anybody spell O . S . H . A . ? Then again , some of these snooty , pea brains deserved to be deep sixed . And why didn't t... |
533,460 | 70,535 | 120,863 | 7 | Thoughtful look at combat | Sometimes sluggish , often violent and obscene , Thin Red Line for the most part offers a poetic insight into the stupid horrors of war . For certain it is not a simple re-make of the original . Like all battle films it is peopled with the cowards , the cynics , and the lovers of combat . Nolte was superb as the Patton... |
533,233 | 70,535 | 117,038 | 7 | Angel comes to earth to help out | Warm hearted flic depicting arch-angel Michael as a brawling , overweight , cigarette smoking slob who loves to dance and cavort with the opposite sex . He does have a good side , however , as he strives to set things right in the lives of a couple of burnt out losers before being recalled to heaven . Funny , well play... |
532,391 | 70,535 | 42,279 | 7 | Con men dupe rancher for a high dollar payoff | Con artist passes himself off as a rancher's long lost son . He and his partner stand to make a cool million if the plan works . Meanwhile , the real son is making his way home through harsh country with the threat of death nearby all the way . Exciting western filmed in beautiful mountain country . |
532,796 | 70,535 | 105,691 | 7 | Standard whodunnit | Fairly good story about a 2 bit scoundrel private eye who apparently becomes involved in a double homicide while running a sleazy con game . A large insurance settlement is at stake and the police must figure out if the victim's wife did the deed or if it was her rival , hubby's mistress . Or could it have been someone... |
533,583 | 70,535 | 86,423 | 7 | Drunken singer sobers up and gets religion | Good show with fine performances by all . Filmed just south of Dallas , the countryside was perfect for the texture of this film which deals with a man seeking a new life in the bedrock of fundamental Christianity . |
533,168 | 70,535 | 95,119 | 7 | a man has his day and then must pay the piper | Spanning 25 years , this film chronicles the life of 4 students at a Louisiana university . One , a football hero , must come to grips with his life after the glory years are over . His wife becomes unhappy with the way her marriage is going as her husband ignores her more and more . Tragedy follows one of the other st... |
532,761 | 70,535 | 99,592 | 7 | Good drama set in beautiful mountain country | When a man fresh out of the Marines breaks his jeep down while traveling through a small town he winds up staying at a widow's ranch . While waiting impatiently for his ride to be repaired he comes into contact with many of the locals and thinks less and less about eventually moving on . Very entertaining . |
533,242 | 70,535 | 108,399 | 7 | Violence in the drug underworld | Lots of gunplay and evil characters abound in this ghastly , sensational tale . A good time was had and fine performances were given by all , but at times this picture was almost a comedy it was so ludicrous . No way could 2 losers do what this pair did and live to see the sun set . If you like action , see " True Roma... |
533,228 | 70,535 | 66,580 | 7 | Long hair hippie dope fiends go wild in a cow pasture | Good documentary about the most famous concert of the decade . Many of the better bands , and some of the worst , were at this shindig where any and everything goes . Personally , I wouldn't have gone within 3 states of the place , but obviously not everyone is as crowd phobic as I . My main objection to the film was t... |
533,044 | 70,535 | 46,187 | 7 | Flagwaving pickpocket helps in the war on communism | Widmark comes through again doing his hardass routine . After what he thought was a routine purse robbing on a train , a well known thief finds he has taken more than a wad of change . Caught between the law and a desperate traitor he must figure out where his loyalties lie - money or country . Good one . |
532,843 | 70,535 | 283,530 | 7 | I should have gone to this school | Klein was superb as the bookish teacher intent on molding boys ' characters ' as well as teaching them . When he went out of his way to aid a troubled student he wound up depriving another causing some concerns for his conscience . The boy he felt he should help was the son of a bigshot politico who had no clue as to t... |
532,743 | 70,535 | 79,710 | 7 | Oddest assortment of dysfunctional characters I've seen in a while | Off the wall romantic comedy with one of the strangest plots I've ever seen . A middle aged man who still lives at home with his entire family falls for a woman 20 years his junior . This causes tension within his family , especially with the domineering father , a real tyrant . This guy is well into his fifties and st... |
533,139 | 70,535 | 119,012 | 7 | bizarre tale of revenge | Very strange film . A former cop kills criminals with 2 shots to the head , then leaves a rabbits foot near the body . A team of FBI agents are assigned to track him down , and one of the agents becomes emotionally involved with the killer . Unusual use of cameras adds a lot to the appeal of the movie ; however , the f... |
533,369 | 70,535 | 99,615 | 7 | Return of the Godfather . . . . sorta | Interesting , but not particularly amusing comedy involving a scam within a scam within a scam ; maybe one scam to many but who knows ? Well done , but nowhere near an award winner or especially relevant . I fail to see the appeal of Brando as " actor God " : seems to me he is just another man earning a living in Plast... |
532,515 | 70,535 | 99,612 | 7 | For a Roger Corman production this was excellent | I enjoyed this one all the way through even though it had the usual Corman defects . The opening time travel sequence was a tad silly , but the car that drove itself was way cool . Where , however , did the nice roads come from way back in 1817 ? Don't expect the monster to look like Herman Munster because even this gu... |
533,431 | 70,535 | 235,737 | 7 | Bad cops and good man exchange lead with each other and local ruffians | Strange , darkly moody tale of revenge , murder , drugs , insanity , freaks , losers . . . . and one all around good dude . I like films that come at me from left field which is why I liked this one ; not to mention one of my fave actors being in it [ Val ] . It's one the viewer has to just keep watching to finally fig... |
533,252 | 70,535 | 38,427 | 7 | Dog dodges dozens of deadly darts | Well , folks , there were no surprises in this one . A young girl adopts a lost puppy and takes it in for her own , turning it into a first class sheep dog . Then the inseparable pair are separated and the dog must face a cruel world without his master . The film has the usual [ and some unusual ] assortment of adventu... |
532,905 | 70,535 | 55,928 | 7 | Not a bad spy film | I can't give a resounding yes to Dr . No , but it wasn't all that horrible . Certainly better than most of Fleming's books , which were slow indeed except for the last or so . The later Bond movies were probably more action filled , but were so corny they were hard to take seriously . I did appreciate the opening scene... |
532,456 | 70,535 | 68,773 | 7 | Boy becomes a man the hard way | Good tale of the old west in which a young boy becomes a man after his family is wiped out . Old story line , yes , but it still made for a fine film . B . J . Thomas was effective as the expert gun handler who was unable to fire at another human , even in his own defense . One of Robby Benson's best performances . |
532,498 | 70,535 | 110,549 | 7 | An ego is a terrible thing to waste | Fairly good drama detailing a stressed out women's descent into a cult headed by a phony guru / psychiatric M . D . The doctor , through hypnosis , convinces the woman that her family life is a mess and that he alone is the answer to all life's questions . Of course , her family goes all out in an effort to have her re... |
532,945 | 70,535 | 105,606 | 7 | 2 good reasons to avoid parenthood . . . . and the holidays | Were these 2 argumentative crumb munchers cute or a gargantuan pain in the butt ? Cute and funny show not intended to be anything but what it was - mindless Christmas entertainment . My Christmas wish is to never have kids , especially a pair like this duo . |
533,055 | 70,535 | 110,550 | 7 | Who needs these kinds of friends ? | After her son dies during a hazing incident his mother becomes a radical in her crusade to have fraternity initiations outlawed .

Along the way he re-lives a sad life and the many mistakes he made . The viewer is enticed to sympathize with the old geezer , but I couldn't generate much for the man . By his own a... |
532,794 | 70,535 | 195,685 | 7 | To sue or not to sue | Should the big corporations be sued for trying to cut costs and therefore provide a cheaper product [ or make more profits if you are a cynic ] for the consumer ? Or produce at a higher cost and keep the consumer safe ? Erin thinks she has the answer ; watch and see her in action . 5 stars . |

532,914 | 70,535 | 82,146 | 7 | Ringo Starr stars | Ex-Beatle Starr joins a jock and some real actors in this zany stone age romp . I suppose the ringed one will never be a top actor but I always enjoy his films . This stuff was so goofy it kept me in stitches the whole time . Solid fun with loads of laughs . |
533,151 | 70,535 | 163,187 | 7 | Had she been smart , she'd have kept right on running | Pretty good little romantic comedy with good performances , locations , and a decent script . May fave is still " My Best Friend's Wedding " so this will just have to be an also ran . Still it was a cleverly written , nicely done picture and , hey , Julia is in it . |
533,342 | 70,535 | 253,131 | 7 | Rock n ' Roll ain't never gonna die . . . . is it ? | Interesting documentary on the beginnings of rock music containing many clips of pioneering bands in concert footage , musicals , and movies . I was impressed with the number of rock music films that were done back in the 50's and 60's , most of which I had never heard . Many of them seemed to follow a similar format s... |

532,904 | 70,535 | 68,675 | 7 | Fun western | One of the better shoot-em-ups I've seen . Welch turned in her usual lackluster performance as the female version of Josey Wales , but Culp and the Clemens boys kept things moving right along . Borgnine , Elam , & Martin were superb as the hilarious , yet dangerous " 3 Stooges " villains . Their slapstick antics had me... |
532,395 | 70,535 | 46,271 | 7 | Trouble on the Texas-Mexico border | After the Civil War , a group of cowboys take a herd of cattle to Mexico in exchange for 50 prisoners .

A sinister killer needs to see him dead in order to tie up any unforseen loose ends that may louse up his scheme . Very well done with a realistic sense of how something like this would go down . Neville Brand made a perfect evil creep as Chester the... |
533,036 | 70,535 | 48,171 | 7 | Swab jockeys woo dames , get in dutch with the Shore Patrol | Three sailors can't stay out of trouble . Be it with the girls , mom , or conniving dandies . Plenty of action is provided through song and dance routines where everyone gives fine performances . While this was not a great musical , it was still a nice little story with some good funny spots supplied by J . Carroll Nai... |
532,644 | 70,535 | 90,728 | 7 | Stupid , yet fun and entertaining | This must have been written by the same guy that did the Jackie Chan films . Anybody who likes all that far out Kung-fu crap will be right at home with this one . Lots of colorful costumes and cool sets , along with some goofy comedy kept me glued to the screen all the way . Russell was perfect as the verbose , confuse... |
533,298 | 70,535 | 103,644 | 7 | Another bloodbath in outer space | The world's baddest chick takes on the beast that refuses to die one more time . The usual ' monster lunches on man who is trapped ' bit with Weaver , as always , trying to outfox the creature . Odd camera work and lots of activity made for an exciting finale . Not bad , but been there . |
532,448 | 70,535 | 81,974 | 7 | How to outsmart a covey of smartasses | Mighty good drama depicting corruption in the justice department intending , on the surface , to solve a crime , but , beneath the waters , to further political careers . Sally Field played the self centered , self deluded reporter perfectly against Newman's confused , angry victim . Worth seeing . |
532,436 | 70,535 | 105,550 | 7 | One sexy bitch ! | Ally Sheedy can scrunch up her face into a very disagreeable mask . She was perfect as the greedy , ultra-phony bitch . This was predictable all the way but still fun to watch . I admit to being totally taken in by the con artist near the end . |
532,411 | 70,535 | 110,366 | 7 | brats run amok | I laughed my head off at these ill behaved little rapscallions . However , in the real world I would have cheerfully kicked their rascally little butts . Nothing realistic about the behavior of these kids at all , but I don't think that was intended . Lots of zany antics [ some re-done from the old shorts from years ba... |
532,567 | 70,535 | 172,495 | 7 | Sensational swordsman slashes , stabs , sticks , scars , socks , snips & skewers Caesar's scummy scallywags | I don't generally go for sword fighting movies , but this one was a winner . Good battle scenes and even better " to the death " contests showing some real blood baths . Of course , there was the political infighting which led to the final confrontation between an odious ruler and his slave . First rate . |
532,989 | 70,535 | 63,688 | 7 | No wonder the rich can't fit through the eye of a needle | Did anybody else think the theme song was done too up tempo ? Good song , though . I think were I as stinking rich as Mr . Crown I would be so appreciative that I would be in a permanent state of euphoria . His warped personality couldn't be satisfied with anything : winning ; losing : it was all the same to the ultra ... |
532,856 | 70,535 | 81,696 | 7 | Vinnie Barbarino does the Texas 2 Step | I bellied up to the bar expecting this to be a hot beer on a sweltering Texas day but was pleasantly surprised . After suffering through " Saturday Night Foolishness " I had no desire to see a re-make in some south Texas barnyard . . . . and I didn't . John Revolta was good as the jealous redneck , Scott Glenn was well... |

533,270 | 70,535 | 82,010 | 7 | Boy cries wolf and nobody listens | Pretty good remake , but still the same old story . Effective use of make-up and some good graphics did spice up this old tale some , but the first hour was way to slow . The last 30 minutes made up for it though with lots of car crashes , bitten off body parts , and quite a few squashed , mangled , and mauled folks ly... |
532,895 | 70,535 | 90,685 | 7 | Makes you want to go back and take a few courses | Cool , funny show with the always zany Rodney D . throwing campus parties , ping off the professors , and doing no studying .

533,094 | 70,535 | 258,000 | 7 | Why did Foster make this picture ? | Jodie must have been hard up for some ready cash when she signed the dotted line for this run of the mill production . I enjoyed the thing so I suppose I shouldn't gripe but I have come to expect more lofty attempts at quality from this actress [ or is that word out of vogue today ? ] . There were gobs of stressful nai... |
532,517 | 70,535 | 71,089 | 7 | The title describes this dud | When a hit man is hired to cap a fellow crime boss all stupidity breaks loose . I can't say it was a total dog because I actually enjoyed the thing , but it was a little too ridiculous for my taste . I always enjoy Rich Harris , and Chuck as " Claw " was a real treat ; they did a good job spoofing crime film : however ... |
533,374 | 70,535 | 145,681 | 7 | Evidence collector is totally clueless | Good thriller shot in NYC with a thought provoking puzzle for the viewer to see unravel .

533,330 | 70,535 | 118,880 | 7 | Rambo Bond takes on killer prisoners | Another in a long line of action films sees a former Army Ranger taking on a planeload of hardened murderers .

533,128 | 70,535 | 112,327 | 7 | Do we all really get what we deserve ? | My mom read Jessica Savitch's bio and claimed it was nothing like this film . Like all life histories put on film , this one jumped around too fast , left out too much , then added a lot of entertaining fiction . If this woman acted in her life like she did in this picture , she certainly got just what she wanted . Wha... |
532,882 | 70,535 | 167,404 | 8 | The dead speak most eloquently | I thought I got a bum steer for the 1st 20 minutes or so , then the pace picked up bit by bit until the ending at which time my hair curled and I was left gasping . I'm so glad that I'm not a genius like some folks who are so gifted with super intellect that they figured the story out half way through . Being so smart ... |
533,006 | 70,535 | 124,298 | 8 | Gives a whole new meaning to time capsules | I thought this was a very funny comedy . The sets used were very realistic , looked just like some of the furniture we used to own back then . The acting was right on target , the dialogue was interesting and amusing , and the story was well done . Made me wonder if this could happen , only not on such a large or lengt... |
