Stay Out of Politics
This is an excellent film. However, despite the important message it delivers at the end, I am of the opinion, that films in any age should be used for the sole purpose of entertainment and not for the delivery of political messages. Morality plays are a different issue and I can see where they may fit into film making. Otherwise, I highly recommend this film because it is extremely well ...

Take 'em to Missouri, Matt!
With RED RIVER, versatile director Howard Hawks, well-known for his screwball comedies (BRINGING UP BABY, HIS GIRL FRIDAY) made one of the greatest westerns ever in just his first attempt at the genre. This story of the epic first cattle drive up the Chisholm Trail in 1865 is noted for its fine acting performances as well as for its tension-filled and exciting storyline. This was also really the ...

A sprawling Hollywood interpretation of D-Day
"The Longest Day" is a sprawling depiction of one of the most critical battles of World War II, D-Day, the invasion of France through Normandy's beaches. Darryl Zanuck, as head of 20th Century Fox, fastened upon Cornelius Ryan's bestselling book and decided to acquire the rights and make the movie. First, the all-star cast is worthy of note. Included in the cast: John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, ...

Badges? We ain't got to show you no stinkin badges
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Supposedly Walter Huston told his son, John, if you ever become a big-shot director or producer,be sure to have a part for me. Well, this is the part. The first time a Father /Son had ever won an Academy Award for the same film. John Huston wrote the screenplay based onThe Treasure of the Sierra Madre and directed his father, Walter Huston along with ...

This dvd will be worth the upgrade
I can't believe people are giving this new dvd release bad ratings before it's release. I have heard from several sources that this release will have the restored by Paramount from the original negative film version that has never been released in the states. I have not seen this version but have read rave reviews on it's extremely clean and sharp look with perfect brightness and contrast. ...

the NEW 2008 version is MUCH MUCH better than the OOP HBO issue!
I'm not going to review this dead bang CLASSIC...Gary Cooper at his prime, William Wyler at his....nuff said. What I am going to inform everybody is I just viewed the new MGM 2008 DVD against my long out of print HBO copy that I paid a fortune for and the differences are striking...I thought the original DVD was very good for its age...a bit grainy but with some good contrast and bite...but ...

...and nobody's perfect
You probably know the plot already- during the St. Valentines Day massacre of 1929, two traveling musicians are inadvertent witnesses to the shooting. To avoid being discovered-and massacred themselves, they dress up as women and join an all-female band on its way to Florida. Tony Curtis' character(Joe) is looking forward to it, so that he can spend more time with one of the musicians while ...

Strongly recommended as a Classic for Science Fiction fans of any age
I must be the only person on the planet to have not seen John Carpenter's version of The Thing, or read the original story. This film marks my first exposure to any version of this perennial classic. What I saw surprised me no end. Firstly, there's the witty dialogue. Anybody who enjoyed the wisecracking Han Solo's antics in Star Wars is going to love the flight crew in this film. The way they ...

One of the Best Musicals Ever Has Just Gotten Even Better!
This 2-disc version of an excellent musical is a real treat for fans. It comes with a second disc of very informative documentaries and other special features that add to the enjoyment of this true classic. The main course has also been digitally restored very well so that I couldn't find any visual imperfections. The sound quality isn't as great though as the volume levels do become soft at ...

I have loved this movie since I was a kid. Every Halloween I put this film in and watch as I have my dinner. Old fashion but great fun. If you enjoy old comedies give this one a try.

Classic movie
Love this movie! Ever since I was a child--it talks of behavior, faith, work ethic, community and society. Would have loved some extras, though. Like an interview with Mr. Poitier on his memories in making the movie

Grim reminder about the cost of war
Pork Chop Hill tells the inspiring, but grim tale of K company's battle to retake Pork Chop Hill during the closing days of the Korean War. A classic war film, it does an excellent job of displaying the bravery of US Army soldiers while also reminding us about the true cost of war. The battle is fought really for no strategic reason, and the losses inflicted on the US company are immense. ...

Fort Apache
This is a great classic movie where the hero (John Wayne) struggles with what he knows is right and what he is ordered to do. Shirley Temple plays a spoiled daughter who falls in love for the first time against her parent's wishes, but love and duty both triumph in the end.

Excellent 2 disc package of famous film
"The Philadelphia Story" is a streamlined example of superlative movie making. Directed impeccably by George Cukor, the film was based on a play written specifically for Katharine Hepburn when she re-invented her career on Broadway after leaving RKO in 1938, a box office has been at aged 31. The script was superbly tailored to Hepburn's image and mannerisms and the humanising of Tracey Lord, the ...
