Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire

20th Century Fox, 2003

4 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line: Though Gregory Peck ends up with the wrong woman at the end, Gentleman's Agreement is a "message picture" that succeeds on almost every level, from Peck's quiet dignity to Celeste Holm's vivaciousness to Elia Kazan's direction.

The Conversation

Gene Hackman, John Cazale

Paramount, 2000

Chilling Classic
The classic always seems to be the best well believe it or not I had to see this movie because a good deal of parts seem to be found in his more recent "Enemy of the State" Staring Gene Hackman and Will Smith with the tones being the same only in a more technology ...

Studio Classics - Best Picture Collection (Sunrise / How Green Was My Valley / Gentleman's Agreement / All ...

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

20th Century Fox, 2003

Collection does not overlap the other Best Picture collections
These are four of the eight Best Picture winners produced by Fox Film Corporation, the others being "Cavalcade", "Sound of Music", "Patton", and "The French Connection". I'll give a brief run down on my opinion of each film: Sunrise (1927) - Winner of "Best Artistic ...

Warner Bros. and the Homefront Collection (Irving Berlin's This Is the Army / Thank Your Lucky Stars / ...

Irving Berlin, George Murphy

Warner Home Video, 2008

great movies
Finally "Thank your lucky star" and "Hollywood canteen" are on DVD. I already had a VHS but this is the final set. It's wonderful to see Hollywood in the past, Hollywood unfortunately forever lost. This is Hollywood as we remember. I hardly wait Nov 11

Destination Tokyo

Cary Grant, John Garfield

Warner Home Video, 2004

A multi-dimensional WWII movie.
I just finished rewatching this great war movie in honor of the anniversary of General Doolittle's 1942 raid on Tokyo. After watching, I'm in awe of all that's going on in this movie. The special effects are top notch for a movie made during war time---seeing the sub ...

The Cary Grant Signature Collection (Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House / Destination Tokyo / The Bachelor ...

Cary Grant, John Garfield

Warner Home Video, 2004

Great collection!
I LOVEloveLOVE this set of movies! I'm a huge Cary Grant fan. 2 of my CG faves are in this set. For the price, you really cannot go wrong. In Mr Blandings, it's so much fun to see CG play a perpetually frustrated husband and father going through a crazy house ...

Dick Tracy

Marvelee Cariaga, Seymour Cassel

Walt Disney Video, 2002

Great movie at an amazing price
This was one of my favorites and I was very excited to find it at a great price! I ended up finding many more of my favorites from the "You May Also Like" section after ordering this DVD.

The Joan Crawford Collection (Humoresque / Possessed (1947) / The Damned Don't Cry / The Women / Mildred ...

Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2005

Now I know why this set is never on sale
I'd put off getting this boxed set because it never went on sale. That is true of both this set and the Judy Garland Signature Collection. I finally did get this one, and for the past few days I've gone through the set and I can see why it's never on sale. Although I ...

Continental Divide

John Belushi, Blair Brown

Universal Studios, 2003

Pauly
This is a great romantic comedy. One of the last movies that John Belushi made before his death. I enjoyed it very much and besides I was one of the extras in the movie that was shot in Chicago.

The Cotton Club

Richard Gere, Gregory Hines

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

The First Gere-Lane Movie
This movie made me feel like I was actually sitting in the Cotton Club. I developed an appreciation of the music from this era that has never gone away. Part of the reason to watch this movie is the late, great Gregory Hines and his also-talented brother Maurice. ...

Beverly Hills Cop II

Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold

Paramount, 2002

Disappointing Sequel to BHC.
This sequel to the smash hit movie BEVERLY HILLS COP takes the Murphy character back to Los Angeles to solve a case of `Alphabet' crimes. Unfortunately, BHC2 is another one of those ordinary sequels that got made just because its predecessor was such a huge hit, ...

Humoresque

John Garfield, Oscar Levant

Warner Home Video, 2005

all the reviews written are 5 stars
if you are a dedicated musician and had the rare opportunity to make it your life's work( which is near nil in today's world), then you will love this movie.It's the fight between the marriage of woman or music.music will always win because there is no separation of ...

World War II Collection, Vol. 2 - Heroes Fight for Freedom (36 Hours / Air Force / Command Decision / Hell to ...

Spencer Tracy, Van Johnson

Warner Home Video, 2007

One Hell of a collection...
The older ones were far better, than the more recent ones. I could end my review here, but it would be unfair, considering the effort made to put this collection together. So let's start at the beginning: 1. "Air Force" (1943) - B&W - 124 min. starring John ...

Body and Soul

John Garfield, Lilli Palmer

Republic Pictures, 2001

"What ya gonna do, kill me? Everybody dies!"
Body and Soul isn't the great fight movie - the first half of the movie is often too conventional and formulaic for that - but it's certainly a contender even if it loses the title to The Set-Up. It's certainly one of John Garfield's best roles, finally getting into ...

Mo' Money

Damon Wayans, Stacey Dash

Sony Pictures, 2002

Mo' Funny
This movie wont win any awards, get a fresh tomato on Rottentomatoes.com or be in the top 250 of IMDB(as if anybody cares what these stupid sheep think!) but it was still a funny movie and brought to you at a time when the Wayans Brothers were at the top of their ...
