Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen

Sony Pictures, 2007

Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
I purchased this title for our social justice learning group to view. It was every bit as good as I remembered it from the big screen. What I can't believe is that it has been more than 25 years since its release. No doubt this film was the apex of Ben Kingsley's ...

Inglorious Bastards (3-Disc Special Edition)

Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson

Severin, 2008

The Greatest Film of All Time
This is a marvelous film. Fred Williamson's performance is both tear-jerking and thought provoking. I greatly enjoy motion pictures about black militants filmed in Italian and dubbed into English. Great...

Damage

Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche

New Line Home Video, 1998

Emotionally captivating with brilliant performances by Irons, Binoche and Richardson
[BEWARE SPOILERS] I don't know whether I've ever watched a film in which I identified more with all the characters than I did in this emotionally wrenching masterwork from the late, great Louis Malle. It is part of the genius of Malle to, like Shakespeare, make ...

Waking Ned Devine

Ian Bannen, David Kelly

20th Century Fox, 1999

Perfection
This film excels in so many diverse ways. A charming irish tale, it is a very carefully crafted film, that excels in cinematography, editing , writing, performances, plot line and dialogue, soundtrack and music. It is neither heavy handed nor schmaltzy. I 'll spare you ...

Eye of the Needle

Donald Sutherland, Stephen MacKenna

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Diagnosing Sutherland's character, the Needle
I watched this movie for the first time recently on cable and found it so engrossing that I watched it a second time a week later -- and now I'm on amazon reading the reviews and considering whether to purchase it. I decided to comment on Sutherland's character, the ...

Gorky Park

William Hurt, Lee Marvin

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A great adaptation of the book!
I read the book Gorky Park last year and was blown away. Definitely one of the best novels I've ever read. I remembered from when I was a kid there being a movie version of the book that was pretty popular so I checked it out. If you read the book first don't expect ...

The Flight of the Phoenix

James Stewart, Richard Attenborough

20th Century Fox, 2003

computer nerd vs. grizzled old veteran
"Flight of the Phoenix" is truly a superior film and is one of my all time favorites. An airplane carrying a cargo of men, mostly oil field types, crashes into the North African desert because of a sudden sand storm that the pilot, Jimmy Stewart, is unable to climb ...

The Watcher in the Woods

Bette Davis, Lynn-Holly Johnson

Walt Disney Video, 2004

A Childhood Favorite ... Still Creeps Me Out as an Adult!
Honestly, even though I LOVED this movie as a 10-year-old kid -- it scared me to death, no joke! So parents, don't underestimate this movie's powers to give your kids nightmares. (Seriously, a trianglar crack in a mirror containing a blindfolded girl reaching out to ...

Too Late the Hero

Michael Caine, Cliff Robertson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Offbeat yet Brilliant WWII Drama
This is a little known War film from director Robert Aldrich. My dad said I should see it because it is different. I did see it and I did like it. Some of it seems to defy logic but that is what makes it so interesting. It is always good to see Henry Fonda in a film, ...

Blue Ice

Mac Andrews, Alun Armstrong

Hbo Home Video, 2005

Caine stars as Harry Palmer clone in this entertaining thriller
In the late 1960s Michael Caine portrayed the British spy Harry Palmer in a series of adaptations of Len Deightons spy novels. Palmer was seen as the "anti-Bond" in an era in which the James Bond 007 phenomenon was taking the world by storm. The HBO movie `Blue ...

Night Crossing

John Hurt, Jane Alexander

Walt Disney Video, 2004

Night Crossing
Night Crossing is one of my all time favorite movies. I used to show it to my 5th grade class every year to stimulate their appreciation of freedom. I was thrilled to be able to get a DVD version to replace my old VCR copy. Thank you so much.

Jane Eyre (1971)

Ian Bannen, Peter Blythe

Direct Source Label, 2004

Jane errored....
As much as I am pleased I finally found George C. Scott's version of this novel/movie, I am so unhappy with the quality of editing and the horrendous film quality of this DVD! I find it hard to believe someone released it as it is! I saw the original version on TV ...
