Intimate

Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden

Paramount, 2008

Excellent
If you watch the first 5 or so minutes, you might expect this movie to be lame, but it most certainly is not. Inspired by an amazing true story, it's a very powerful film about a guy you really want to learn about. Fine writing, fine acting, and amazing scenery. I'm ...

Lie With Me

Lauren Lee Smith, Eric Balfour

Velocity / Thinkfilm, 2006

Quiet, yet moving
This movie has an art house/independent film presentation. No wasted dialogue (except for a few of the voiceovers). Powerful love/sex scenes. Nice chemistry between the two leads.

Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)

James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson

Sony Pictures, 1999

Sense & Sensibility
Lovely movie that has adapted the novel to perfection. The characters are portrayed in such a way that you can't help but feel that you are there amongst them. One of the movies that you could watch time and again - comparing it to the actual novel has been a real ...

The Dreamers (Original Uncut NC-17 Version)

Michael Pitt (II), Eva Green

20th Century Fox, 2004

Everything you'd expect from Bertolucci
Ah, NC-17. Possibly one of the dumber ratings out there. The concept is great! Tag movies, like this, that aren't made for kids but are for an adult audience, with a rating that keeps kids away. In principle this is great! In execution, it's been deeply flawed. ...

Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)

Robin Williams, Matt Damon

Miramax, 1998

Good will hunting by Brandon
I don't have to say how good this movie was. I could watch it all the time and never get tired of it.

The Breakfast Club

Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall

Universal Studios, 2008

We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.
Possibly believed to be the most quintessential film, encompassing the 80's teen genre; The Breakfast Club is a classic piece of what John Hughes did for the 80's.(Which is everything right, really.) A tale about five very different teens all from different clicks ...

Flywheel (Director's Cut)

Alex Kendrick, Janet Lee Dapper

Sony Pictures, 2007

Truly Inspirational
A truly inspirational film that proves that one can honor God in their business practices and in the workplace and be successful. As we allow Jesus to be Lord in our life, God will always show Himself strong on our behalf. If you enjoyed FACING THE GIANTS and ...

Cranford

Francesca Annis, Eileen Atkins

BBC Warner, 2008

Wonderful Cranford!
I admit I am a sucker for British period dramas anyway, but Cranford is especially charming. The story is multi-faceted and never weakens at any point. Of course, Judi Dench leads the lovely cast with her inimitable style.

Georgia Rule (Full Screen Edition)

Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan

Universal Studios, 2007

Lindsay Lohan Rules (Georgia too)
As many have noticed, Jane Fonda is basically playing Henry Fonda in ON GOLDEN POND, but she's doing it backwards and in high heels, for she is also channeling Katharine Hepburn from the same film, as her hair gets piled up on her head like a giant pincushion pinned ...

Then She Found Me

Matthew Broderick, Colin Firth

THINKFILM, 2008

Happy I found this film
I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was very well written and each actor gave a wonderful performance. I'm glad Helen Hunt was finally able to get this story on film. Bravo!

The Last Waltz

The Band, Paul Butterfield

MGM, 2002

Saying farewell to The Band - quite astounding -
Just another sign I was born in the wrong generation. To have been at this concert, wow, what a memory. Fantastic work by Martin Scorcese.

Dirty Dancing (20th Anniversary Edition)

Kelly Bishop, Jane Brucker

Lions Gate, 2007

Love this DVD
I love this DVD. If you love the movie Dirty Dancing you will love this

Like Water for Chocolate

Marco Leonardi, Lumi Cavazos

Walt Disney Video, 2000

LIKE WATER ON CHOCOLATE
This is one of my favorite movies. I had it on VCR and wanted to but the DVD in case th VCR wears out. It offers a cultural insite, is funny, sad, sexual and a really good story line.

A Summer Place

Richard Egan, Dorothy McGuire

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Summer Place
I remember this movie from my youth and it was still as wonderful as it was then. I loved it! Glad I have it for my collection. Ordering process was easy and I got it fast. Thanks AMAZON

Empire Falls

Ed Harris, Monique Jeanine Lycette

Hbo Home Video, 2005

In Memoriam, Paul Leonard Newman (1925-2008)
This miniseries should be re-watched because we lost a GREAT actor recently who done so good for so many. This was his final appearance on film and he deserves a final award. Now is not the time to grieve, it is time to help others who need our help. This will ...
