Midnight Cowboy
Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight

MGM (Video & DVD), 1994

Midnight Cowboy gets better with age

+ Hauntingly ugly and beautiful

I was a corporal in the US Army when this movie was released, and a bunch of us GIs saw it at the base theater at Fort Holabird, Maryland. There were a few scenes we weren't thrilled with, but overall we enjoyed the movie. Fast forward nearly forty years, and I can only say the movie has aged ...

Excellent set

This is an excellent set for the money. I checked at retail stores, and each individual item costs more. Of course, my 9 year old now knows all the words to all the songs. I particularly enjoy this version of Oliver Twist.

Annie Hall
Hy Anzell, Colleen Dewhurst

Baker & Taylor Video, 2000

Beautifully constructed story of a genuine, pure and real relationship...

+ Annie Hall? Annie Hall! Very funny, smart, and entertaining.

Hailed as Woody Allen's finest film, `Annie Hall' has some pretty weighty expectations to live up to, and what amazes me is that each and every time I watch it I am reminded of why Allen is loved to much among the cinemaphiles like myself. Now I admit to not having seen much Allen, and I admit ...
  
  











  



  
From Here to Eternity
Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift

Columbia Classics Tristar Home Video, 1994

From Here to a Classic

+ Fine Film about Military Life on the Cusp of WWII
+ The best movie I ever saw

From Here to Eternity is more than the classic scene of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster rolling around on a beach, covered in ocean waves. It's a story about America during World War II. It's about human beings trying to live normal lives during an abnormal time. Taking place just before the ...

Man for All Seasons (1988)
Nicolas Amer, Brian Badcoe

Turner Home Ent, 2002

Be fair to this film!!!

+ A different approach

I think most of the comments for this film are rather unfair. Unfair to the actor Charlton Heston and unfair to the film itself. Please let me explain: It seems to me a sort of "England, England!" thing is standing in the way of a fair and objective comment on this film (as if I could give ...
