Henry Fonda

Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara

Warner Home Video, 2003

Importance of family
This film shows the importance of family, the closeness they hold over generations and the recognition of one son's desire to go further in his education than any of his forbears have been able to because of economic necessity to begin work young. It shows his family's ...

Mister Roberts

Henry Fonda, James Cagney

Warner Home Video, 1998

One Of The Greats
Wonderful showcase for all actors envolved. What a splendiferous way to say goodbye to Powell and hello to Lemon - Fonda and Cagney don't hurt either.

Yours, Mine and Ours

Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

One of the Best movies ever!!
I'm usually not impressed by many movies and after seeing the new version of this movie I almost gave this old gem a miss. It's truly one of a kind. Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda are amazing as two harried single parents of 8 and 10 children respectively- but that's ...

9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition - Widescreen

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin

20th Century Fox, 2006

Harrassment in the Workplace
I teach business management at the local high school -- we were studying issues of inappropriate office behavior, discrimination, etc. -- and I remembered this movie -- it was a great lesson for my high school students. I forewarned the students about the pot-smoking ...

Battle of the Bulge

Henry Fonda, Robert Ryan

Warner Home Video, 2005

GREAT WORLD WAR TWO MOVIE
After seeing this movie on cable for a number of years, it is good to finally have my own copy on DVD. I have many military movies and this one fits in well with the others. The movie has been panned due its historical inaccuracies, but while the film doesn't ...

The Cheyenne Social Club / Firecreek

James Stewart, Henry Fonda

Warner Home Video, 2006

Tour de force performances by two Hollywood legends
Unlike many movies made today, The Cheyenne Social Club and Firecreek pit two veteran actors whose consummate skill and ability to tell a story makes special effects unnecessary-the quality of the story and the acting carry both movies. Both films feature great ...

Daisy Kenyon (Fox Film Noir)

Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews

20th Century Fox, 2008

One of My Favorites
I have never written a review before, but needed to say that I am so taken with this movie, I have been watching it, including commercials, on an old vhs tape that has to be at least 15 years old. Yes, the story is nothing new, but I love this film for the clothes, ...

12 Angry Men

Martin Balsam, John Fiedler

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

One of the Best!
This is truly one of the all-time best movies featuring classic stars and a compelling plot. I use it for teaching argumentative writing and usually convert a few of my (college) students to this genre when they first view it. Excellent acting notwithstanding, the ...

How the West Was Won (Ultimate Collector's Edition)

Carroll Baker, Lee J. Cobb

Warner Home Video, 2008

I can't wait for this new edition.
I purchased the original MGM/UA dvd of "How the West Was Won" years ago when originally released on DVD. I've watched it twice over the years and continue to be amazed by the utterly mediocre quality of the picture. If I wanted such poor quality, I might as well ...

The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Eddie Albert, Paul Anka

20th Century Fox, 2006

Arguably the best war movie ever made
Some critics agree with me -- this is one of the very best. I first time I saw this movie was shortly after it was released, and it continues to hold my attention 40+ years later. While some may think it's boring, not enough action ... well, that's the way war is. ...

Fort Apache

John Wayne, Henry Fonda

RKO Radio Pictures, 2007

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 ...

How the West Was Won (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

George Peppard, Debbie Reynolds

Warner Home Video, 2008

I can't wait for this new edition.
I purchased the original MGM/UA dvd of "How the West Was Won" years ago when originally released on DVD. I've watched it twice over the years and continue to be amazed by the utterly mediocre quality of the picture. If I wanted such poor quality, I might as well ...

The Grapes of Wrath

Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell

20th Century Fox, 2004

Just a Great Movie!
I love this movie and have to admit I enjoy it more than the book. The book is about too preachy for me, but the movie focuses on the story and clarifies it. An amazing achievement for all involved and Henry Fonda probably had his greatest performance in this ...
