George C. Scott

George C. Scott, Kirk Douglas

Universal Studios, 1994

DVD, PLEASE!!
When, when, when is this terrific movie going to come out on DVD? The mystery is great, the acting terrific and I defy anyone who sees it for the first time to figure it out!

Tyson
George C. Scott, Paul Winfield

Hbo Home Video, 1998

A hard-hitting drama based on the life of one of America's greatest Heavyweight Boxing Champions, Mike Tyson. This is the powerfully told rise and fall of a knockout star, from his life of crime as a young man, through his discovery and training by Cus D'Amato to the championship and beyond.

Hustler

Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason

20th Century Fox, 1999

NOBODY'S RIGHT WHEN EVERYBODY'S WRONG
I first saw this film in 1961, and for my money it's probably the most realistic ever.Here's one; this reviewer can actually smell the grime as it passes through the screen. The indescribable stench of an old pool hall, the grit of a bus terminal, where your next cup ...

Firestarter

David Keith, Drew Barrymore

Universal Studios, 1992

Turning the Heat Up
FIRESTARTER is one of Stephen King's best stories--surreal, yet plausible; both frightening and cheering. Drew Barrymore's performance warms hearts and burns villains. Great story, great movie--perhaps the star performance in Barrymore's career.

Rescuers Down Under

Bob Newhart, Eva Gabor

Walt Disney Video, 1992

If you dont like this, your no true Disney fan.
This was a superb entry in the Disney canon. The best sequel to a animated feature as well. Faithful and underrated. This is great people, Walt Disney would have been proud.

Inherit the Wind (1999)

Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Inherit the Wind (1999)
A truly excellent remake of an American classic. Once you get past any inital reservations you may (understandably) have about the film's made-for-cable origins, you will find a work that is, in my opinion, just as engaging as the 1960 version. Two gripes: 1.As ...

New Centurions

George C. Scott, Stacy Keach

Sony Pictures, 1994

Possibly the best Police movie ever
This movie inspired me to a law enforcement career that lasted 28 years. George C. Scott (Officer Kilvinsky) delivers one of his best performances as a veteran patrolman of the L.A.P.D. He teaches a rookie cop "Stacy Keach" how to survive on the streets of L.A. Erik ...

Anatomy of a Murder

James Stewart, Lee Remick

Sony Pictures, 1994

This is the movie for actual courtroom procedure viewing.
I was recommended this film as one of only a handful of films that adequately depicts real-life courtroom "skirmishes". Though the film rarely deviates from actual criminal procedures, the excellent screenplay and direction still delivers a fantastic, ...

Flim Flam Man

George C. Scott, Sue Lyon

Fox Home Entertainment, 1985

flim flam man
Fabulous acting and inspiring about points in life where people have to choose what sort of values they want to live by. It also shows the mass poverty suffered by the us in the past.

12 Angry Men

Courtney B. Vance, Ossie Davis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Dear MGM, WHERE IS THE DVD???!!!
I saw this movie back when it was on television and I loved it! I also like the older version. I can get that one on DVD but WHY CAN'T I GET THIS ONE ON DVD??? MGM, it is time to release this movie on DVD!!!!

Prince Brat & Whipping Boy

Truan Munro, Nic Knight

Sony Pictures, 1996

Though very funny/cute, "Prince" deals with serious issues
"Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy", though fairly different from the novel, is an endearing film I have watched dozens of times. The children are spectacular (although I did tire of Jemmy's bratty sister, AnnieRose, whom I thought exceeded Prince Horace in terms of ...

The Changeling

George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere

Hbo Home Video, 1993

A compassionate film
This is a remarkably warm film. It's not a horror story by any means and the ghost part, intriguing as it is, takes back seat to a tale of a man in profound grief and how he deals with supernatural events. George C. Scott is superb and the music is absolutely perfect ...

100 Men & A Girl

Deanna Durbin, Leopold Stokowski

Universal Studios, 1995

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
A consortium of business types gathers in a Manhattan penthouse and sneers at the little people, a slightly overdrawn look at capitalism. These guys are so awful they make the capitalists in a Lars Von Trier film like MANDERLAY or DOGVILLE look like Albert ...

Hanging Tree

Annette Claudier, Gary Cooper

Warner Home Video, 1994

A Powerful, Complex Western
A tall stranger rides alone into a sprawling, chaotic, lively mining camp, somewhere in Montana. His first act is to do some hard bargaining to buy a cabin atop a hill overlooking the camp. A young man soon gets shot, as he tries to rob a gold-mining sluice, and ends ...

Not With My Wife You Don't

Tony Curtis, Virna Lisi

Warner Home Video, 1998

Little Known Gem!!Nicely Done 60's Romantic Comedy!!
A wartime Italian Nurse fall in love with 2 men(George C. Scott and Tony Curtis)and marries man after the other man is assumed dead later but reappears years later.It's a nicely done 1960's romantic comedy!!
