The Pianist
Adrien Brody
, Frank Finlay
Universal Studios, 2006
One of the best movies ever.
This is one of the best movies out there. Completely deserving of the 3 Academy Awards it won (Best Actor, Best Director, & Best Screenplay). If you like old war movies, with high drama, and a great story, this is a good movie for you. It is a long movie, but ...
The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns
Randy Quaid
,
Whoopi Goldberg
Lions Gate, 2000
Best Movie Ever!!!!
I believe strongly that everyone should have this movie in their home video library. This movie has adventure, mystery, intrigue, suspense, romance, comedy and an excellent story. Children, teenagers and grown adults will love this movie! There's so much beauty to ...
The Longest Day [Blu-ray]
Eddie Albert
,
Arletty
20th Century Fox, 2008
Great vehicle for exposing popular actors of the time.
This is a 1962 attempt to be an accurate rendition of D day, based on Cornelius Ryan's book, "The Longest Day", when the allied forces of world war two crossed the English Channel and fought their way up the beaches of France. The whole film is of the events of that ...
Ben-Hur (Four-Disc Collector's Edition)
Charlton Heston

Timeless Epic
Ben-Hur (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) This is the best American movie ever made. Everything is done superbly. Great story, outstanding acting, fantastic picture made with 65mm cameras, masterful music score. It is hard to find anything bad about this movie. ...
Count Dracula (BBC Mini-Series)
Louis Jourdan
, Frank Finlay
BBC Warner, 2007
I have already dined
Dracula has been reinterpreted, bastardized, glamourized and rewritten so many times that it's hard to even identify him as the charming, monstrous boyar bloodsucker. But the closest thing to a faithful adaptation is the BBC's 1977 miniseries "Count Dracula", which ...
The Pianist [HD DVD]

Thomas Kretschmann
Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2008
A quick review for those wishing to see a great film.
I don't often watch contemporary films because I find most of them to reek of crummy Hollywood fluff -- this one is different, MUCH better! I'm stingy with awarding stars for films too but this one really deserves all the accolades that I can pile on. It's simply ...
Christy - The Complete Series

The Christy Series Review
We watched this series when it first came on TV and we all loved it. We've never seen it in stores and recently I was on amazon.com and found it for sale. I thought my mom would really like it for her birthday and she did. The DVD's were in brand new conditioned as ...
The Complete Musketeers (The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers)
Oliver Reed
,
Raquel Welch
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003
Outstanding adventure films!
I remember when this version of "The Three Musketeers" was due to be released in the 70's...it was promoted as being more realistic in the atmosphere, attire and weaponry use of the time depicted. It hits square on in all these areas! The more gritty atmosphere (along ...
A Christmas Carol
George C. Scott
, Frank Finlay
20th Century Fox, 1999
A perfect version of the classic -- and very human.
Nana: My grandmother, Anne Gillis The star: George C. Scott was an icon; legendary American stage and film actor, director, and producer, perhaps best known for his Academy Award-winning portrayal of General George S. Patton Jr. in the film Patton. He was, quite ...

The Shoes of the Fisherman
Anthony Quinn
,
Laurence Olivier
Warner Home Video, 2006
One of a Kind
This is my favorite movie. It is truly unlike anything else ever filmed, in that it does an incredible job of showing a little of what the papacy is, and its burden on the man bearing it. Also, it shows the beauty of Christianity and the Catholic Church at its core, ...
Prime Suspect 7 - The Final Act
Helen Mirren
,
Stephen Tompkinson
Acorn Media, 2007
If not the best, close to it.
This one will not lift you up. It's not a feel-good movie, but it IS a feel-real one. Of the whole series, it is the only one with decent extras - well, a decent extra. The father's part is a bit over-written, and I could nit-pick a few other things, but I was glued to ...
The Molly Maguires
Sean Connery
,
Richard Harris
Paramount, 2004
ACTOR RICHARD HARRIS PORTRAYS JAMES MCKENNA WHO INFILTRATED MY GRANDFATHER JOHN MCKENNA'S GRANDFATHER PATRICK MCKENNA'S FAMILY
This movie is slow moving and grimly realistic. Although it was unsuccessful during its original Hollywood release it is an accurate rendition of the life of coal miners in 1800's Pennsylvania. The Molly Maguires were an immigrant Irish terrorist group who ...
Murder by Decree
Christopher Plummer
,
James Mason
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003
Perhaps The Best Non-Doyle Based Holmes film
So it isn't the most original idea out there for Sherlock Holmes to attempt to solve the case of the infamous murders committed by Jack The Ripper. At least one other film (A Study In Terror) and several books have (had) been written along those lines so the storyline ...
