Bear Island
I saw this movie years ago and many times since over the years...and, I loved it! This is an all-star cast including such veterans as Vanessa Redgrave, Donald Sutherland, Richard Widmark, Lloyd Bridges, etc (The list goes on). This is one of the better and more ...

Universal Studios, 1992
One Of The Classics of Sci-Fi Horror
Although this film deviates somewhat from H.G. Welles novella this is an excellent adaptation that is still entertaining seventy years after its first release. The setting of England in winter is well conveyed though we know that in all probability the film was made ...

When i watched this, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was still as funny as I remembered it to be. When I was younger, I was a fan of the Francis films, and watched whenever they came on TV back in the Fifties.When I found this one,it was like discovering an old ...

One of the Ten Greatest Films ever!
I am not going to try to reiterate all of the laudatory reviews from other customers. But I will restate the claims of many who regard SITR as one of the ten best films ever made. Without a doubt it is, and that includes all types of films. Yes, the very theme of ...

Loads of Family Fun!
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the ...

Warner Home Video, 2000
For Widescreen Viewers
I'm a purist and love to see the productions in their original aspect ratio. Having a widescreen HDTV adds to this pleasure, but could also have made viewing "That's Entertainment" problematic because of the film's mix of clips from the pre- and post-widescreen eras. ...

Terrific cast.
Intriguing from the start, this adventure begins at the end of the story, with a foreign legion troop arriving to reinforce a fort in the desert, to find it defended by dead men. How it got that way unfolds in a flashback story of the three adopted Geste Brothers ...

A Wonderfully Ghostly 1940's Comedy!
When 17th Century blowhard Sir Simon de Canterville, born of a pompous but cowardly stock, finds himself in a duel he cannot win, he naturally chickens out. Challenged by the enemy to wall up a potential hiding place, Sir Simon's father unwittingly bricks him into his ...

Ginger Rogers
Turner Home Ent, 1996
La crème de la crème.
You cannot go wrong with any of the Fred and Ginger movies, but this one is la crème de la crème. Why? As Eric Blore says, for the sheer heaven of the "Pick Yourself Up" number, as you watch their feet fly across the dance floor, with Fred in trademark formal ...

Great show. It was just as good now as it was the first time I saw it.

Francis movies span the generations!!!!!!!!!
I recently introduced by 13 year old granddaughter to the Francis series. They touched a part of her funny bone that had never been reached before -- she went from giggles to belly-laughs. She doesn't understand why none of her friends have heard of them. She ...

Jeanette MacDonald in her greatest role
THE MERRY WIDOW is arguably Jeanette MacDonald's finest film, and is still regarded as one of the greatest musicals ever made by MGM. The story concerns one widow, Sonia (Jeanette MacDonald), a beautiful young woman who owns 52% of the small kingdom of Marshovia. ...

Something Wonderful
It's wonderful whole new audiences are discovering the inimitable Deanna Durbin. This is my favorite of all her films. It's a strong story, with an excellent supporting cast and Deanna at her breeziest (she isn't Little Miss Fixit here). As for the music, ...
