Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford

Warner Home Video, 1998

One of the most underrated classics of the 70's
All the President's Men is one of those underrated classics that the general public seems to always overlook. I think it's because it's a very slow-moving film that lacks action and focuses completely on politics & journalism. The good news is I'm one of the fortunate ones who loves this movie for what it is: a political thriller. All the President's Men doesn't actually center on the infamous ...

One of the greatest movies.
what can I say other than MASH will be a great movie years from now.

A Bonny Holmes Adventure in Freud's Vienna
This film has haunted me since I first saw it in the 70's, to some extent because prior to that, my viewing experience of Holmes was our standard---yet deeply appreciated---Basil Rathbone interpretation. This fulsome breathing of life into Doyle's Holmes and Watson was a complete delight---Nichol Williamson and Robert Duvall more than do the stories justice. Since Williamson's Holmes is lost ...

Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges

Family Home Ent, 1994

True to original text
This movie is such a wonderful accomplishment. The music is fantastic (America from the 70's..remember?) and the script keeps so true to the original text (which really pleased me!). The casting is great...Angela Lansbury does such a fantastic job as Mommy Fortuna. I can't imagine you would be disappointed in this movie, not only because it's great for the whole family, but because it is so ...

Pearl (The Miniseries) [VHS]

Angie Dickinson, Dennis Weaver

Warner Home Video, 2001

Moving Mini-series
I will admit at times that the story is a bit overdone. But overall I really enjoyed this story or series of stories. Most of the war epics I have seen spend a lot of time on special effects over actual characterization and story. I personally did not see that Ben Affleck movie because I think that he is a terrible and over-rated actor! I enjoyed this movie because the stories all touched a ...

Escape From Sobibor [VHS]

77 reviews
Alan Arkin, Joanna Pacula

Avid Home Ent, 1995

great movie
we had to watch this movie in class. We're studying the Holocaust so we watched this. I'm in 7th grade and we watched this film. It was a great way to show us how the Holocaust happened. Some kids were almost in tears. It was a depressing film, with love and romance in between. I would recommend this movie to teachers. It is a great film to show to your kids studying the Holocaust. You do have to ...

Bad Medicine [VHS]

10 reviews
Steve Guttenberg, Alan Arkin

Fox Home Entertainment, 2002

Must see before studying at UAG!
If you are thinking of studying medicine at the Universidad Autonima de Guadalajara, you must see this film first! Having been there, I can tell you there are schools like this. Rumor in Guadalajara is that this film is banned, and the witer went to UAG. The setting is fanciful, but everything else is a fantastic portrait of the administration, students, and faculty at UAG. UAG has better ...

The Last Unicorn
Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges

Playhouse/CBS/Fox Video, 1985

Editorial Reviews Amazon.com A story line that truly deserves the A-list treatment, The Last Unicorn is memorable for its attempts to stay faithful to its origins, the Peter Beagle novel of the same name. The animation is vintage Rankin/Bass, and that's too bad; but there's an undeniable strength in this tale and telling. A unicorn (Mia Farrow)--she believes herself the last--searches for any others of her kind, while avoiding the malevolent Red ...

Under The Rainbow [VHS]

Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher

Warner Home Video, 1992

This is one funny movie!!
Sure, Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher have nice moments in this movie. However, it is everything that swirls around them that makes this so funny. "The pearl is in the river." "And they all look alike." Granted that some of the dialog is not politically correct, but it is not mean. I saw this movie about five years ago, enjoyed it, and taped it. I saw it again last night with my wife and ...

Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly

Walt Disney Video, 1996

Why is this not on Blu-ray Disc? Or even a better grade Dvd?
5 stars for the movie , 1 star for the dvd. One has to ask themselves why is this beloved classic not on Blu-Ray Disc yet? Or even an up-to-date / modern edition dvd? I just can't understand it? This Low grade unamamorphic tranfer make's this a less than stellar view and any fan a little cranky. Your Probally better off Sticking with a nice full-screen video tape until a better edition comes out. ...

Andy Garcia, Alan Arkin

Hbo Home Video, 1996

Buyer Advice Yes its Widescreen
All though the back of the package shows this film to be in the 4.3 fitted tv format you will be surprised to find that it is letterboxed and widescreen in the full theater format preserving its theatrical screen format version. Widescreen lovers enjoy.

Clock [VHS]

53 reviews
Judy Garland, Robert Walker

MGM (Warner), 1992

Old fashioned WWII love story
I am biased, being a big fan of Robert Walker, especially his performance in "Strangers on a Train"Strangers on a Train (Two-Disc Special Edition). But I really do love this movie. The Clock It is an old fashioned love story, and even it's 1940's setting can't date its charm. Judy Garland gives a lovely, non-singing role, and Keenan Wynn and James Gleason, two terrific character actors, lend ...

With Friends Like These [VHS]

2 reviews
Adam Arkin, David Strathairn

New Line Home Video, 2001

Brilliant comedic insight into the mob and Hollywood
How far will friends go to get that "big break" in Hollywood? If you're a wanna-be Sopranos star, the news of Martin Scorcese casting for the leads in an Al Capone film is too good to be true. This amusing film skillfully manuevers the lies and deception that four friends pull on each other as each jockey's for that coveted interview... incredible casting, including quite a few surprise "star" ...

20th Century Fox, 1992

"Who are your influences?" - After 20 Years It's Still In My Top 10
I've had this movie on VHS since it came out in the 90's and both CDs (vol. 1 & 2) are ALWAYS in my car. I was so thrilled recently to be able to watch the DVD with my oldest kid who has grown up listening to the music in the car. It's still as funny, ironic, awe-inspiring (Andrew Strong's 16 yr old voice - Wow!) as the first time, and each time I've watched it. The Bonus Features showing "the ...

Indian Summer [VHS]

Alan Arkin, Matt Craven

Walt Disney Video, 1996

Fond reminiscences
This movie brings to life nostalgic memories of the eight summers which I spent in youth camps in northern Ontario. The cabins, the dining hall, the docks, the lake, the beautiful scenery, the awesome camp director with human failings, and the cross-section of kids who are now bigger but still much the same, all rang true for me. By having the grown-up kids repeat some of the activities and ...

Heat Wave [VHS]

8 reviews
Cicely Tyson, Blair Underwood

Turner Home Ent, 1998

Incredible Movie
This is truly an amazing movie about the Watts riots in Los Angeles in 1965. It focuses on Bob Richardson, the LA Times messenger who phoned in reports from the riot scene as they happened. But it also tells the story of the people who got swept up in the violence and hate and of the innocent bystanders who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. A very accurate portrayal with amazing ...

Edward Scissorhands [VHS]

409 reviews
Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

20th Century Fox, 2000

A Tragic Masterpiece
Edward Scissorhands is such an elaborately thought out film with such simple themes - anyone can enjoy it. The film follows Edward (who without a doubt should be on a list of the best cinematic characters of all time) who deals with the sorrow of being "different" and the impossible search for happiness. This film has so many emotions packed onto one little disc! It ranges from hilarious to ...

Roughing It [VHS]

8 reviews
Adam Arkin, Ned Beatty

Live / Artisan, 2002

Sensational
Roughing it is a great movie about the interesting life of Mark Twain. It is extrememly accurate and is well made. Roughing it is an entertaining made-for-tv movie. You will learn a great deal and will enjoy it while doing so. The writer of this film (Steven H. Berman) was nominated for his brilliant screenplay by the Writers Guild of America. James Garner is great along with his all-star cast. ...

Incredible Performance by G. Larry Butler
Great movie but a damn shame G. Larry Butler's performance was so short...one of his first movies too...a great reaction shot of him as a deputy sheriff help make this movie memorable

Robert De Niro, Kathy Baker

Hbo Home Video, 1997

The best drama you've never seen
Released in 1989, "Jacknife" tells the story of Megs (Robert De Niro), a Vietnam vet who looks up an old war buddy in Connecticut. The buddy is Dave (Ed Harris), a bachelor and drunkard who lives with his sister, Martha (Kathy Baker), in their inherited parent's house in the old neighborhood. Dave & Martha's situation has degenerated into lifeless habit and stagnation. Megs doesn't look up Dave ...
