James Mason, Susan George

Legend Films, 2008

Truly underrated film
This is really the first great film about slavery. The critics hated this film, however, it stands up to the time test and let me tell you: it is even better now. The great James Mason and a sexy passionate Perry King act their hearts out. The surprise of the film is Ken Norton: he knew not to open his mouth too much, and to use gesttures and stares to convey what he was thinking. What makes ...

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Disney's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea
Disney's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea was one of the most influential film experiences of my youth. I definitely rate it as a five star film with good special effects, which though dated, were very good for the time. The best of the special effects scenes was the giant squid and I have read that this scene required many retakes and changes in mechanical approach to satisfy Disney who would not ...

Le Pour Merite-The Blue Max
Geoge Peppard was outstanding in this film. It is truly an aviation film classic along with Twelve O'Clock High. Filmed in Ireland it contains beautiful scenery and unmatched flying sequences. When is this going to be released in blu-ray?

Ed Binns, Leo G. Carroll

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 2004

Extremely Enjoyable and My 2nd Favourite Hitchcock Film!
I'm not sure about why the more recent reviewers are having so much trouble with their dvds and I can only assume that the recent batch out of the factory has got major product quality issues as my copy works just fine albeit I bought mine at least a couple of years ago. The Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound quality as well as the picture quality of my dvd is excellent too. People have to ...

The Fall Of The Roman Empire (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (The Miriam Collection)

Sophia Loren, Alec Guinness

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

Solid historical epic on 2nd century Rome.
A very enjoyable movie with good period detail and enough history to be well above the typical sword and sandal movie.

Jesus of Nazareth

Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft

Lions Gate, 2002

Being an Atheist, I still adore this film
As a child, no TV image comes out as clearly and emotional as Robert Powells eyes and glances during the whole length of his scenes during this production; is truly bewitching and one must admit, Zeffirelli distilled pured genius when designing the character... Jesus is in fact DIVINE. Overall, I find this -being an Atheist, i've always had a fascination for Christian/religious films- the finest ...

The Verdict (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

71 reviews
Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling

20th Century Fox, 2007

An Astonishing Treasure
I originally saw The Verdict when it was first released theatrically, but I had forgotten how wonderful this film is until I ordered the Two-Disc Collector's Edition. The Verdict captures perhaps the best performance of Paul Newman's storied career, plus a memorable appearance by film legend James Mason as his ably evil legal adversary. The Verdict is much more than a courtroom drama: it is the ...

From the Earth to the Moon - The Signature Edition

Mason Adams, Jo Anderson

HBO Home Video, 2005

Epic Series
This edition is incredible. The stories are inspiring, the cinematography breath taking and the approach is refreshing and powerful, particularly regarding the Apollo 13 mission. It captures the majesty, trials and triumphs of the space program. While watching this you realize that one of the problems in America today is our lack of a sense of mission and a pursuit of a common goal, we have, in ...

Pink Floyd - The Wall 25th Anniversary (Deluxe Edition)

Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves

Sony, 2005

A not too bad third telling of Pink Floyd's magnum opus
The film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall was released in August of 1982. The movie did fairly well at the box office. It initially grossed $23 million which was alot of money back in 1982 considering it was competing against films like E.T., Rocky III and the first Poltergeist. I first saw the movie when my father rented this movie for me when I was 9 (I am not joking folks, this was in ...

Julius Caesar

Marlon Brando, James Mason

Warner Home Video, 2006

The spirit of the play brought to life
I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally. One of the first things you notice is the setting is a balance between stage and reality. This film being in black and white may have contributed to the ...

The Boys From Brazil

Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier

Lions Gate, 1999

Nature or nurture?
This movie has probably ended up playing the role of a "predictor" of events. When it was made, probably one could not have imagined that cloning or genetic sequencing would advance so rapidly. The evil Dr. Josef Mengele gathers all his Nazi cronies with a view to creating 94 "little Hitlers" and killing their fathers in order to recreate the actual environment surrounding Hitler's boyhood. As ...

Excellent perfomance from a part from the past World War II, Rommel was allways an interesting man

"You are so Cool!!"
"Quentin carried the screenplay for this gem for something like 7 years before he sold it and still my favorite work from him. Everyone cool is in this film, no directing from our Pulp Fiction friend, but I got to read a copy of his screenplay (complete with typos!) while watching it. Spot-on!!"PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale

Yellowbeard

Graham Chapman, Peter Boyle

MGM (Video & DVD), 2006

comedy mania
This movie is the ultimate level of the Monty Python genre, which also includes a host of other major comics, marty feldman and cheech and chong, to name a few. Their antics are beyond superlatives, the comedy is racey/saucy but genuinely funny. The sets are tremendous as is the acting, there should have been a sequel.

Heaven Can Wait

37 reviews
Warren Beatty, Julie Christie

Paramount Pictures, 1999

One of my favorites
No matter how many years go by, no matter how many times I've seen this movie in both VHS and DVD, it remains one of my top 3 feel good movies of all time (along with Cousins and My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Excellent performances by all. The chemistry is special, and I'm a sucker for a real happy ending with a lesson. When I'm down, this is guaranteed to lift my spirit and make me smile.

Prince Valiant
Such an enjoyable,action-packed movie. I uaed to have this movie on VHS. I jumped at the change to get it on DVD. If you like action packed movies, based on comic book characters you will like this movie. This is the earlier version. It is not the new cable version.

Evil Under the Sun

Peter Ustinov, Jane Birkin

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Evil Under the Sun, Peter Ustinov
I do like this version of Evil Under the Sun. It has a beautiful island setting, Spain I think. The acting is fantastic and the story is very well put together. However, I think I like the David Suchet version of this better. This movie heavily features Cole Porter music, which is really beautiful, but tends to overpower the movie itself. It is also a little long and tends to feature its big ...

The Prisoner of Zenda (1937 and 1952 Versions)

25 reviews
Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Classic & Above-Average Copy
The Prisoner of Zenda 2 pack is a real treat for fans of the story & the films. Watching them side by side invites the inevitable comparisons and the 1952 version comes up way short. This is not a criticism of that film; rather it is an affirmation of how great the 1937 version is. The '52 entry is a shot-by-shot remake using the same script and much of the same score but filmed in color. The ...
