Patricia Neal

Richard Thomas, Ernest Borgnine

Lions Gate, 2002

all quiet on the western front
i believe this remake of the black and white film of the 1930's is the superior of the two. The Richard Thomas version is less preachy than the Lew Ayers version. Also, the ending is not "telegraphed" to the viewer as was done in the black and white film. In the ...

A Face in the Crowd

Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal

Warner Home Video, 2005

What could have been?
Not expecting such a ruthless character played by Andy Griffith, I was expecting a hard time "suspending belief". The first time you see Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in this movie, he is snarling, angry, and ready to lash out. He spends the rest of the movie trying to keep ...

Hud

Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas

Paramount Pictures, 2003

Major Babe......
...one of Newman's finest, bless his heart. Paul couldn't do a bad job of acting if he tried. Dang good film.

Ghost Story

Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas

Universal Studios, 2004

Any real horror fan can appreciate the old school scares of Ghost Story
Ghost Story was released in 1981, adapted from a novel of the same name. Sid has never read the book, admitedly, but we really can't imagine it being better than this great movie. The film stars Fred Astaire, John Houseman and others. Sid remembered seeing this flick ...

In Harm's Way

John Wayne, Kirk Douglas

Paramount, 2001

Probably The Last Great Black & White Movie Made
I am a war movie buff. I have seen them all. Heck, I have seen Patton a million times but I just went and bought Patton in Blu-Ray. And by the way, the Patton transfer is the best older movie transfer I have yet seen, it looks as good as the day it opened at the ...

Breakfast at Tiffany's (Special Aniversary Collector's Edition)

Stanley Adams, Elvia Allman

Paramount, 2006

Breakfast at Tiffany's very glam
I'm glad I bought this through Amazon. The price was fair and the shipping prompt. Audrey Hepburn's glamor and grace are effortless. The movie is great and I'm glad to own it on dvd. There are hours of extra features that I haven't watched yet but any extra footage of ...

The Fountainhead

Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal

Warner Home Video, 2006

Great memoies of how it was in the golden age.
Too bad our current congress can not remember what was intended for all Americans. In this case, copy right protection. Microsoft ought to show clips from this movie. I hope the new Ann Rand movie "Atlas Shrugged" stays true to form. Angelina Jolie has a habit of ...

The Homecoming: A Christmas Story

Patricia Neal, Richard Thomas

Paramount, 2003

Best Christmas Story, since the first
It is all about family. Watch it every year. Fantastic acting. Great story. Launched the iconic series.

Three Men and a Little Lady

Loved the first movie, had to get the second one!
I looked at several different sites trying to find this! I absolutely love this movie!

Operation Pacific

John Wayne, Patricia Neal

Warner Home Video, 2007

This 2003 release vs May 22,2007 release
I recently bought (on 4/09/06) this DVD which notes "standard version" and "presented in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition." Amazon is now taking pre-orders for a new May 22, 2007 release, stating it's in widescreen. How can ...
