Hayley Mills, Eli Wallach

Disney Home Video, 2003

love this movie
By far my favorite Hayley Mills movie...with the drama, action, and romance. It's fantastic.

Swiss Family Robinson (Vault Disney Collection)

John Mills, Dorothy McGuire

Walt Disney Video, 2002

The tree house movie was (is) great.
As a paperboy working for the San Diego Tribune from 1959 to 1962 I was fortunate to be treated to a free movie from time to time; a guest of the Union/Tribune. There were several movies that we saw as a result of the generosity of the paper and Swiss Family Robinson ...

Psycho (Special Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)

Frank Albertson, Martin Balsam

Universal Studios, 2008

The story of the ultimate mama's boy!!!
XXXXX Early in this movie the viewer is told that a boy's best friend is his mother. Is this true?? This movie is a suspense/horror/the first psychoanalytic thriller directed by the "master of suspense" himself, Alfred Hitchcock. It is based on the novel ...

Ryan's Daughter (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Robert Mitchum, Trevor Howard

Warner Home Video, 2006

Masterpiece
A masterpiece and IMO David Lean's best film by far. A good story (originating in Madame Bovary) with excellent screenplay (by Robert Bolt) and production. Several superb performances, but Sarah Miles is outstanding and not just as a beauty. She plays the part of Rosie ...

Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Ben Kingsley, John Gielgud

Sony Pictures, 2007

One Of The Greates Films Ever Made
Gandhi is an excellent film that any person will enjoy. I could write about it for pages, but for convenience, I shall keep this review short. This film will really make you think about life and war. You will not ever regret purchasing this great film. Very powerful, ...

Play Misty for Me

Duke Everts, George Fargo

Universal Studios, 2001

Play Misty for Me
Great movie. Have not seen it since it 1st released. It scared me again. It is better than Fatal Attraction

Surf Ninjas

Dathan Aragon, Phillip Bayless

New Line Home Video, 2002

Awesome!!
One of the Greatest Filipino Movies in the Universe. the Surf Ninja's are not really Ninja's but Filipino Warriors...and the fictional country of Patusan is really the Philippines. Of course Ernie Reyes Jr. and Robie Schneider are Filipino.... The world will ...

Cats - The Musical (Commemorative Edition)

Elaine Paige, John Mills

Universal Studios, 2000

CATS - The Musical
I love this musical, I saw it for the first time when I was 8, now I'm 18 and I still love to watch it! It is exactly how I remember, but much clearer, I would recommend it to previous viewers and to families with young children.

Annie Get Your Gun

Edward Arnold, Evelyn Beresford

Warner Home Video, 2000

Great family selection!
This classic is fun for children of all ages. Great discussion with your daughters about women and competition!!

Zulu Dawn

Burt Lancaster; Peter O'Toole; Sir John Mills; Bob Hoskins

Tango Entertainment, 2005

Victory by bare footed natives
Zulu Dawn is an excellent and historically accurate movie. It seems to have been actually filmed at Isandalwana, Natal where the action took place. Unfortunately, this movie should have come out before the excellent 'Zulu', simply because the massacre at Isandalwana ...

British War Collection (The Cruel Sea/The Ship That Died of Shame/Went the Day Well?/The Dam Busters/The ...

Richard Todd, Michael Redgrave

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005

A sterling collection of several excellent British WW II films
Over the years I have with effort to see a large number of British films and had seen four of the five films in this collection. In all four cases, however, the print I saw was vastly inferior to the superb prints contained in this fascinating set of films. So far ...

Who's That Girl?

Madonna, Griffin Dunne

Warner Home Video, 2006

Who's That Girl.....Now?
The 80's brought us a lot of fun comedies. This is one of them. Though the movie was panned by critics at that time, let's face it, it's a fun movie to watch where you don't take it seriously and just laugh. Madonna is just flat out funny! Yes, she can act.

Agatha Christie Classic Mystery Collection (Murder Is Easy/Caribbean Mystery/Murder with Mirrors/Thirteen for ...

Helen Hayes, Peter Ustinov

Warner Home Video, 2006

Very Well Done!
This boxed set is one of the best we have purchased in a long time. All the movies are well done and exciting. I am especially impressed at how clean the movies are. It is far too easy to find things that are very offensive and unwholesome. These are all well done, ...

The Flame Trees of Thika

Mick Chege, David Robb

A&E Home Video, 2005

A wonderful glimpse into Kenya's history
I saw this in VHS format while I was living in Kenya back in 1982. I am going on memory as I write this but I do remember it was awesome. It gives such a wonderful, accurate glimpse into the history of what the early British settlers of Kenya went through. While some ...

Hobson's Choice - Criterion Collection

Charles Laughton, John Mills

Criterion Collection, 2009

David Lean, Charles Laughton, John Mills and, especially, Brenda De Banzie, make a film worth every penny of Criterion's price
For those who didn't know, and I was one of them, a Hobson's choice is a free choice, but where only one option is really available. At the end of Hobson's Choice, a fine, vulgar, poignant and very funny film directed by David Lean, this is what Henry Horatio Hobson ...
