Based on a real-life person ( who looks a lot wackier than Robin Williams , who plays him in this movie ) , the story has its usual rebel fights-the - s... |
522,951 | 4,445,210 | 10,146 | 9 | Lots Of Good Stuff In This Harold Lloyd Silent Short | This Harold Lloyd silent film is fun because it has fast-moving story , plenty of chase scenes and sight gags , good camera-work and some great expressions on the actors ' faces . It also has a couple of endearing people such as a poor little girl and her lame dog , and a good-hearted woman . Of course , being a " sile... |
525,233 | 4,445,210 | 121,766 | 9 | They Really Did Save The Best ' Til Last | I was never one of the millions of Star Wars groupies . I enjoyed the films , except for Attack Of The Clones , but wasn't a huge fan . Having seen the first five , I eventually got around to checking out this last one , if for no other reason than curiosity . Wow , it changed my whole outlook . I cannot believe how im... |
526,602 | 4,445,210 | 71,402 | 9 | Classic Remedy For Instant Satisfaction | I guess by now you could call this movie a " classic . " It would meet most definitions . It was so popular that it spawned a number of sequels , but they just got dumb and dumber . This is one of the most famous " revenge " movies ever made and still stands up today . This was a very , very simple story and it panders... |
524,580 | 4,445,210 | 465,502 | 9 | Well , I Liked It | I don't know why this movie doesn't get more positive recognition ; I thought it was terrific , and I've seen most the feature-length animated films of the past several years . This holds it own against most of them . For an animated film , it has exactly what you want : fantastic colors and colorful characters - most ... |
522,856 | 4,445,210 | 756,427 | 9 | Good Story , Spectacular Visuals | A frantic woman is seen desperately racing down a street as some unseen motorist is terrorizing her , crashing into her . She loses control of the car , crashes and dies . Well , at least it looks like that until later it's determined another blow to the head - not from the collision - is what really killed her . In th... |
524,874 | 4,445,210 | 44,659 | 9 | Artwork Really Captures Christmas | This is another winner from the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two , with fantastic artwork that captures the colorful Christmas setting magnificently . We open with a beautiful depiction of an old house under a snowfall . It's " the night before Christmas and all through the night . . . . " Sylvester interrupts... |
526,537 | 4,445,210 | 71,315 | 9 | A Bit Confusing But Always Fascinating | No sense going into a detailed review describing what this film is about because there are enough reviews already . I'll just say it took me several viewings to finally figure out what was going on . It's not an easy to story to follow . It's also unusual : a crime story dealing with rights to water . To many people , ... |
523,766 | 4,445,210 | 25,385 | 9 | Boxing Was Big Back In The ' 30s | It's Bluto , " the champ , " verses Popeye , " the sailor man , " in the " fight of the century . " I think this theme - a big boxing match between these two guys - was used in a couple of other Popeye cartoons down the road , but I enjoyed this one the best . Boxing was a subject used in a lot of feature films in the ... |
524,671 | 4,445,210 | 44,625 | 9 | One Of The Wildest , Action-Packed Tom and Jerry Cartoons | Whether this was a rip-off of the Tweety-and-Sylvester ' toon called " Kitty Foiled " or not was immaterial to me once I watched this because this was outstanding . ( So was " Kitty Foiled . " ) The sight-gags , pratfalls , slapstick nonsense , etc . , were almost all very clever in this short as Tom tries one thing af... |
525,167 | 4,445,210 | 44,421 | 9 | Love Those ' Asides " & The Music | I almost always laugh when a cartoon character turns to us , the audience , and makes a remark . Early in this animated short , Sylvester , turns and whispers to us , " How naive can you get ? " That's after Tweety is asking him what he wants as the cat reaches into the cage , trying to steal him from the front window ... |
526,190 | 4,445,210 | 86,423 | 9 | A Drama With Realism , Heart & Dignity | This is a movie with a lot of " dignity . " It has such realistic people , it kept me fascinated because it seemed so different from most films I've watched . There aren't a lot of dramatic things that happen in the story yet , as a whole , it's a wonderful tale that stays with you . It's a lot more than just seeing an... |
524,496 | 4,445,210 | 114,388 | 9 | Emma Can Break Your Heart | Wow , here's an emotional story that gets you involved and wears you out by the end . I wears you out not from action , but from watching two good ladies suffer heartbreaks one after the other . This is not my normal viewing fare but I am big fan of two things this movie has to offer : ( 1 ) Emma Thompson and ( 2 ) inc... |
525,785 | 4,445,210 | 44,522 | 9 | Lots Of Good Sight Gags | Mascot Tom has been hired aboard a cruise ship . He has the assignment to make sure there are no mice on board .

522,408 | 4,445,210 | 120,901 | 9 | A Fun Movie For Film Buffs | Since " The Fugitive " is one of my all-time favorites , this takeoff on it was fun and enjoyable for me to watch . Hey , sometimes it's best to laugh at ourselves and the things we like . For much of it , this movie was laugh-out-loud funny . It helped not only to know " The Fugitive " story well but also " North By N... |
522,892 | 4,445,210 | 413,300 | 9 | Gives You Your Money's Worth Of Entertainment | I suppose a film like this will fall into one of two categories for fans of this series : either this was the best of the three or the worst . My vote goes to it being the " best " although I prefer Superman and Batman over Spidey in the superhero category , anyway . However , I did find this movie extremely entertaini... |
524,113 | 4,445,210 | 304,421 | 9 | Age Hasn't Slowed These Guys , Either | This was much better than I had expected , not that I didn't expect a decent performance from these guys . I just didn't know exactly what to expect since they were long past their " prime . " However , like a number of other ' 60s groups that are still playing , these guys are still very good . Age doesn't seem to hur... |
522,705 | 4,445,210 | 389,860 | 9 | Funny & Touching - A Good Combination | This was a funny and - near the end - a touching movie . That's a nice combination to have . My only complaint is that it certainly isn't " family fare " for a nice story and should have been rated " R , " not PG-13 . There's simply too much sexual material ( and and f-word ) for PG-13 . With some editing , this could ... |
524,484 | 4,445,210 | 120,912 | 9 | 5 Reasons Why I Like This Sequel Better | This sequel to a popular first film was a pleasant surprise to me . In fact , I think I like this better than the original , much better . Why ? Well . . . . . 1 - It is extremely entertaining and just an hour-and-half long ; 2 - It has a much softer edge to it with more humor than the original ; 3 - the special effect... |
527,426 | 4,445,210 | 120,917 | 9 | High Praise For This ' Kids ' Film | You've often heard the sales pitch , " adults will love it , too ! " almost always referring to a kids ' movie and in particularly , an animated movie for children . Well , in this case I agree . Even as a middle-aged adult , I enjoyed this . The dialog is adult-friendly but at the same time not coarse or crude with no... |
525,407 | 4,445,210 | 95,062 | 9 | Another Inventive Effort By Bill Plympton | At first , this is deceiving . It appears to be a lesson about how to draw , but " the magic line _ - the narrator - quickly gets sidetracked and this turns out to be a very funny story and a cartoon that was fascinating to watch , especially if you like the creative process of art . I can't draw worth a lick so I've a... |
523,471 | 4,445,210 | 335,119 | 9 | Slow But Wow , Is This A Visual Treat ! | I can't imagine a lot of people , especially anyone under 40 , sitting through this extremely slow film . . . . but I thought it was excellent .

" I am guessing the year was 2000 ( it doesn't say ) . Of the several DVDs I have watched of Brightman's I think this one has the best collection of songs . In all there 26 songs giving up an hour-and-a-half of her sin... |
523,043 | 4,445,210 | 59,898 | 9 | Driving A Poor Custodian Crazy | It's the Pink Panther torment a night-time department store custodian . I guess our hero is a kind of homeless type of guy who hangs out wherever he can find a warm , indoor spot . In this case , he's lying comfortably in the rug section . Problems ( and some very good sight gags ) start when the Panther goes inside a ... |
526,940 | 4,445,210 | 24,578 | 9 | The Strangest Snow White You'l Ever See | This is another of those Betty Boop cartoons that feature two things : music and an insane storyline with wild visuals where crazy things happen one after the other . Back in the late ' 60s , we would have thought the cartoonists who made this had to be stoned . I say that because this is not any Snow White story you'v... |

His point was , as most people know , Atltanta has a lot of northern people living it in . Northern money rebuilt the city after Gen . Sherman burned it down in... |
524,498 | 4,445,210 | 114,287 | 9 | Powerful , Involving Story | This is one powerful film . The first time I saw it , the Scottish accents made it tough for me to understand a lot and that ruined the viewing experience . I gave up on it but then acquired the DVD , used the English subtitles when I needed them , and really got into this movie , discovering just how good it is . It i... |
523,618 | 4,445,210 | 358,912 | 9 | ' Son Of Sam ' Is Now ' Son Of Hope ' | I felt this was one of the more interesting Biographiy episodes because of all that preceded the main story and was tacked on at the end , about a man who terrorized New York City in the mid 1970s . David Berkowitz , a . k . a . Son Of Sam and a . k . a . The . 44 Calibre Killer , certainly doesn't look and talk like t... |
525,624 | 4,445,210 | 86,190 | 9 | One Of The Best In The Series | Up until the sixth and last episode of the Star Wars saga , which finally ended in 2005 , I had always looked at this 1983 entry as my favorite film of the long-running series . The varied action scenes and really different characters ( Jabba The Hut , furry woodland creatures , etc . ) made this a particularly appeali... |
524,478 | 4,445,210 | 421,238 | 9 | A Different Kind Of ' Western ' | Wow , what a brutal " western . " I put " western " in quotes because most people think of the western half of the United States as being the locale for western movies . This movie was made and set in Australia but the time frame is similar : around 1880 . What's " brutal " about the story is the violence , bloodshed a... |
523,073 | 4,445,210 | 25,029 | 9 | Bluto As Fred Astaire - Yup ! | Dance contests were pretty big back in the old days , especially during the Depression .

523,579 | 4,445,210 | 94,963 | 9 | Last ' ' Dirty Harry ' ' And A Good One | This was the fifth and last " Dirty Harry " movie with Clint Eastwood playing the hero again , Inspector Harry Callahan , cleaning up the streets of San Francisco from all the scumbag criminals . I've always found " The Dead Pool " to be one of his best in this series . It's entertaining with pretty taut suspense and a... |
