Jack Lemmon

Jack Lemmon, Sandy Dennis

Paramount, 2003

Hilarious!
If you like comedies where you can relate to the experiences shown, you will love this one! Far, far superior to the more recent remake, the performances of Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis are unbeatable. The couple starts out on what should be a minor business trip to ...

The Odd Couple

Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau

Paramount, 2000

" WE'RE OUT OF CORNFLAKES! .....F. U. ! "
The original film that inspired the hit TV show is still a very funny and smart comedy! I had not seen this movie in many years and I found myself laughing out loud through out this exceptional film. A rare mix of comedy and an insightful look at the many layers that ...

JFK - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones

Warner Home Video, 2003

In terms of pure filmmaking, this film is a masterpiece....
If you jettison the politics of this movie (and Stone's reputation as a muckracker), and simply look at JFK as a film, it's arguably Oliver Stone's best film and it is absolutely rivetting. It's a masterpiece of cinemtography, editing, writing, and performances. I've ...

William Shakespeare's Hamlet (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Kenneth Branagh, Julie Christie

Warner Home Video, 2007

Superb adaptation of Hamlet
Kenneth Branagh has done a remarkable job with this version of Hamlet. The scenery and costumes are dazzling, the performances remarkable, and the play itself is fully intact--no odd cuts or editing here. And because of this, the film is four hours long. If you ...

Glengarry Glen Ross

Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon

Lions Gate, 2002

Great movie, great performances, great cast
This is one great movie. It takes place in an office building, a Chinese food restaurant, a diner, a car, and outside in the rain. It is brilliantly written and has a large amount of suspense and tension that really catches the viewer and holds him in its clutches. ...

The Great Race

Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis

Warner Home Video, 2002

Push the button, Max!
"The Great Race" remains one of my all time favorite light confections. This crazy comedy has the wonderful Blake Edwards absurdities and screwy jokes that we enjoyed in an age prior to the bitterness and darkness we seem to enjoy wallowing in today. The stars of ...

The Legend of Bagger Vance

Matt Damon, Bruce McGill

Dreamworks Video, 2001

Great movie for any golfer
I bought this movie for my Dad for fathers day. This is a good movie, but a really great movie for any golfer.

The Wackiest Ship in the Army

Jack Lemmon, Ricky Nelson

Sony Pictures, 2004

Where's that DVD? Oh I see it!
His is one outstanding film. It is funny, very funny - a real service comedy and it works on several levels. The cast is first rate. Jack Lemmon and Rick Nelson are perfectly cast. A very memorable movie all around. Fond memories.

Tuesdays with Morrie

Jack Lemmon, Hank Azaria

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2003

Deeply Moving and Inspiring
I found it to be a delightful "coincidence" that this movie arrived in the mailbox on a Tuesday, of all days. This was just the first of a series of moments of delight as a dying teacher named Morrie teaches the greatest lesson of all: life. His student is Mitch, a ...

Some Like It Hot

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

CLASSIC FILM WITH A NICE NEW DVD UPGRADE!
I bought the new collector's edition of 'Some Like It Hot' a few months ago and I am just getting around to watching it. The film is a classic with Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe in top form with help from a great cast of character actors. This Billy Wilder film has held up ...

Days of Wine and Roses

Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick

Warner Bros. Pictures, 2004

PAINTS AND GRAPHIC PICTURE OF ALCOHOLISM!
I never saw this film when I was young, but I found it to be truthful for the most part, although I am not an alcoholic I have known many. I have played in bands for 30 years and even though that doesn't mean your a drunk, it does expose you to bars and a party ...

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.

How to Murder Your Wife

Jack Lemmon, Virna Lisi

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Smart, funny, yet makes you think again
A perfect Sunday morning movie, and one that is on my "best movies" list. The characters have been perfectly selected. When one looks around, one sees similar faces, with similar desires, problems and lives. Jack Lemmon portrays a character that many men relate to, ...

Bell, Book and Candle

James Stewart, Kim Novak

Sony Pictures, 2000

Great Classic Movie!
This is a great classic movie. James Stewart is wonderful as always and Kim Novak is great as the witch.

Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men

Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau

Warner Bros. Pictures, 2006

A Double Dose of Grumpy Will Make you Twice as Happy
Two geezers arguing is funny as it is. Two geezers taking that argument further and pulling immature pranks on each other is even funnier. What makes it funniest is the great comedic duo of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are the two geezers behind those pranks. ...
