Christopher Lee

Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi

Hallmark Entertainment, 1998

Good movie - Unavailable
This was an EXCELLENT movie, enjoyed it tremendously. But now that I try to find the DVD, nobody has it for less than some rediculous Marketplace price of $50 or more (one seller has it for $175!). Amazon had it for $12.99 but that was before I realized it was going ...

The Education of Little Tree

James Cromwell, Tantoo Cardinal

Paramount, 1999

Hidden Treasure
I found this film by accident and it is extremely well made and very moving tale. It doesn't have any cliches and very new age in its treatment of life. You will be happy and sad as Little Tree spends time both with and away from his grandparents. The first part of ...

Dracula: Prince of Darkness (Ws)

Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

Christopher Lee could replace his predecessor Bela Lugosi as Count
Christopher Lee could balance and continue his charismatic predecessor Bela Lugosi(1882 - 1956) in the 60's Hammer british Dracula series. This film is a great example for Lee as Count. The differences are: - Lugosi was more a theatrical Dracula from Broadway. ...

Sound of Music

Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer

20th Century Fox, 1996

Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It ...

Skylark

Glenn Close, Christopher Walken

Republic Pictures, 1995

I dream about rain....
Skylark makes a promise to the viewer and then fulfills it. Sarah is a mail-order bride from Maine and this is the sequel to "Sarah, Plain and Tall." In the first movie, Sarah and Jacob write letters, fall in love and then marry. They are now even more in love and are ...

Treasure Island (1990)

Charlton Heston, Christian Bale

Turner Home Ent, 2001

Absolutely love it!
This is a wonderful film with the incredible actor Charlton Heston. The music is incredible, the acting is great, the shot-on-location scenery is perfect. I have seen other versions and this is by far my favorite.

Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones

Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman

20th Century Fox, 2002

There is no Beating the Beginning of the Clone Wars...
I've Waited long Enough, heard enough Criticism taken enough Star Wars and George Lucas Bashing. It is August of 2008 as I write this. Star Wars Is and always has been a Cultural Phenomenon. Why has the Original Trilogy Flourished, while the Prequels have been ...

Back to the Future

Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd

Universal Home Video, 1989

Back To The Future
Have you ever wanted to travel through time? To see the future? To witness historic events? Marty McFy(Michael J. Fox) finds hinself facing this when his friend "Doc" Emmett L. Brown(Christopher Lloyd) builds a time machine. Marty is accidentally sent back to 1955 ...

Witch Hunt (1994)

Dennis Hopper, Penelope Ann Miller

Hbo Home Video, 1998

Witch Hunt - a surreal look at L . A.
I originally saw this film on HBO, and was instantly riveted to it. It kind of reminds me of an offbeat version of L A Confidential, with all the elements of the 40's and such. I love L A Movies and the scenes here in this film depict much of the unusual ...

They Only Kill Their Masters

James Garner, Katharine Ross

MGM (Warner), 1998

Hammett for the '70's
For me this is one of those great, underrated movies that I end up watching whenever I'm channel surfing and I find it's on. James Garner is great as a slighty cynical and world weary small town police chief in a coastal California town, but the supporting cast and the ...

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher

Warner Home Video, 1998

The movie was the first to win all five major Academy Awards
This is, without doubt, one of the greatest movies ever produced. Milos Forman won best director for his magnificent work on the adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel by the same name. But this movie is so much more than that. The acting was flawless - considering the roles, ...

Marlowe

James Garner, Gayle Hunnicutt

MGM (Warner), 1994

Garner as Private Eye as Tenatious as a Bobo Doll
Garner wins our sympathy as a battered P.I. who's client doesn't like him and neither do the thugs who cross his path. This movie will make you feel like laughing and crying at the some time. But you know that Marlowe is tough enough to come out on top at the end of ...

Back to Future 2

Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd

Universal Studios, 1992

THE MOST EPISODE COMPLEX OF THE TRILOGY
IN A NUTSHELL: DOES WHAT A TIME TRAVEL MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO DO! This sequel of the superb "Back To The Future" is a very earnest attempt to follow a winning formula up with a truly worthwhile effort in this sequel. Complex, yes, but interesting. Unfortunately, at ...

Die Laughing (1980)

Robby Benson, Linda Grovenor

Warner Home Video, 1998

A Trip Back to when movies were just light-hearted, pure fun
I remember seeing this when I was very young, and for some reason the memory of this movie never left me. Seeing it for the first time in twenty years, I now can say why that is. For one, it is just pure and simple fun. And two, Robbie Benson's hilarious dead-on slap ...

Captain Horatio Hornblower

Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo

Warner Bros. Pictures, 1994

Captain Horation Hornblower - a great classic movie.
I think this movie is one of the better swashbuckler - old sailing ship movies out there. I have read it is losely based on the life of the great British Admiral Nelson. The movie takes place during the time period when England, France and Spain were all trying ...
