John Candy

Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene

Warner Home Video, 2000

Absolutely adorable....
I loved this film. It's so low budget and cheap, yet it's immensely watchable, hilarious, and kind of sweet in a dark, sinister way. I think it's Corman's best film (along side his Poe films, which are quite outstanding in their own way), and it's the film that was ...

The Blues Brothers (Widescreen 25th Anniversary Edition)

Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi

Universal Studios, 2005

The Blues Brothers
One of my Favorites. Loved the Comedy and loved the music, and it is still "fresh", and still can make me laugh - A Classic!

The Great Outdoors

Dan Aykroyd, John Candy

Universal Studios, 1998

An 80s must have!
This is one of my favorite films (that is a huge list by the way). As you may have gathered already it's about a family vacation that goes downhill when another family decides to show up with no invitation to join them in their cabin. The comedy is perfectly 80s and ...

Thunderheart

Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard

Sony Pictures, 1998

On the rez, FBI means a whole lot different things than it does on the outside
Full Blood Indian, just for one. "Thunderheart" was released in 1992 and based on several incidents on reservations. FBI Agent Ray Levoi (Kilmer) was called in to the Oglala Sioux Reservation on special assignment because he's part Sioux Indian himself and the ...

National Lampoon's Vacation (20th Anniversary Special Edition)

Dana Barron, Eddie Bracken

Warner Home Video, 2003

The Original & Still The Best
I think this was one of Chevy Chase's best flick of them all and that this is surely the best and funniest Vacation saga of them all, because European Vacation, X-Mas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation weren't nearly as funny and European Vacation is where the Vacation ...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Steve Martin, John Candy

Paramount, 2000

It is ironic that the best movie that John Hughes made wasn't a teen movie
When I think of "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" I smile. It is an absolutely wonderful movie. Yes, it is regarded as a comedy but when I think of it I think of it as more of a drama. The jokes don't get old. This is probably my favorite comedy of all time. Hughes takes ...

Spaceballs

Leslie Bevis, JM J. Bullock

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Still the greatest spoof of Star wars!
This movie is just awesome and hilarious it really is a classic. If your a star wars fan this is a must. Don't get me wrong i enjoyed watching all the star wars movies and anime. This is a respectable spoof of the star wars film.

Home Alone

Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci

20th Century Fox, 1999

I'd go through alot of trouble like Harry And Marv did to get this DVD
This dvd has alot of deleted scene's that made me feel like watching the first time all over again. There are awhole alot of features that were worth every penny, shipping and handling and waiting that was all worth it. Now I'm gonna go watch this film again.

Summer Rental

John Candy, Karen Austin

Paramount, 2001

Best Of Candy
I was so surprized to find my grandson had never seen John Candy in Summer Rental. To me this film was the best of his movies (except for Uncle Buck). His antics are typical Candy but the plot is so subtle you almost laugh right by it. I recommend you get the popcorn ...

Cool Runnings

Leon, Doug E. Doug

Walt Disney Video, 1999

Fun Caribbean type movie
A Jamaican man has the dream to make it to the Olympics, and while he is the fastest runner in the Island nation, he is tripped and unable to win. He finds out that there is another opportunity, and that is for a bobsled team, something Jamaica has never attempted ...

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 ...

JFK [Blu-ray]
Henri Alciatore, Jo Anderson

Warner Home Video, 2008

Armed and Dangerous

John Candy, Eugene Levy

Sony Pictures, 2002

Crazy movie
This movie is about as hysterical as you can get. The parody of armed guards is hysterical but frightening. Everything is funny in this movie and Meg Ryan is absolutely gorgeous.

Stripes (Unrated Extended Cut)

Bill Murray, Harold Ramis

Sony Pictures, 2005

Is this new DVD worth buying ?
We already have over 100 reviews here of this very entertaining movie. What we need now is for someone to give a complete description of what has been added to this new UNRATED EXTENDED CUT DVD so we can decide if it is worth it to buy this new version.

Heavy Metal (Collector's Edition)

Don Francks, Caroline Semple

Sony Pictures, 1999

Still a great film!
I thought this film would be way out-dated when I first picked it up, but even in the year 2008 I still consider this to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is incredibly imaginative and must have been pretty ground-breaking at the time having combined ...
