Griffin and Phoenix - A Love Story
Peter Falk, Jill Clayburgh
Fox Video
A Wonderful Love Story from the 70s
I watched this movie when I was a young girl and I fell in love with its simple, yet heart-breaking story. One of my favorite scenes is when Griffin paints "Griffin loves Phoenix" on a water tower. I also liked the last hospital scene when Griffin goes to see Phoenix ...

Silver Streak (1976)
Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh
20th Century Fox, 1993
Silver Streak
Probably one of the best comedies ever. I've seen it several times and have never been bored. Lots of action. It definitely belongs in my collection. Highly recommended.

Hanna K
Jill Clayburgh, Jean Yanne
Universal Studios, 1998
Unique
This is an interesting film, given that it attempts to view the Arab-Israeli conflict through a lens sympathetic to dispossessed Palestinians. It is also unique in that it is one of but a handful of films that does not use the worn-out habit of portraying Arabs as ...

Terminal Man
George Segal, Joan Hackett
Warner Home Video, 1993
Brilliant film
A brilliant film with superb acting, and an absolutely fascinating exploration of the human brain and its relationship to consciousness and behavior. This is an early work, and represents the author's scientific imagination at its best.

Portnoy's Complaint
Richard Benjamin, Karen Black
Warner Home Video, 1998
Bring Back Alexander Portnoy or I'll Complain!
I saw Portnoy's Complaint when it first hit the theatres back in the early 1970s. I was just a teenager going through my own trials and tribulations at the time. I didn't give this movie much merit; I didn't realize the validity of this movie until years later, when I ...

Shy People
Jill Clayburgh, Barbara Hershey
Warner Home Video, 1998
Shy People
A good movie done from good writing. The acting is excellent all around. It was real, a little dark at times, poigniant,but engaging. I'm surprised that it never made it to a DVD version. The used VHS I got was in good condition but the color had faded - which no one ...

Where Are the Children
Zev Braun, Jill Clayburgh
Columbia/Tri-Star, 1986
A personal cult fave
This movie is up there with Plan 9 from Outer Space; it's so bad, it's great. First the many bloopers: there are visible boom mikes. One can see a safety rope tied around Missy's ankle when they're on the widow's walk at the climax of the film. When Parrish "locks" ...

It's My Turn
Jill Clayburgh, Michael Douglas
Sony Pictures, 2000
Now.....It's my turn!
Wow.....I just can't believe what I'm about to say. I loved this movie! For twenty plus years I avoided it like the plague. The slurpy song, the femminist angle, it all seemed like a rehash of a dozen other "B" movies. WRONG WRONG WRONG! For starters Jill Clayburgh has ...

Honor Thy Father & Mother: Menendez Killings
James Farentino, Jill Clayburgh
Warner Home Video, 1994
Great
Some of the acting lacks a bit on the part of Lyle (Billy Warlock) but David Beron who plays Erik is great. James Farentino as Jose Menendez is displayed exactly as how the boys explain him on the stand. About the same in detail as Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills, ...

Thief Who Came to Dinner
Ryan O'Neal, Jacqueline Bisset
Warner Home Video, 1998
an honest thief - realistic portrayal of disgruntled NASA rocket scientist
The opening scene is filmed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston showing buildings 5 (mission simulator) and 29 (centrifuge), and realistically portrays the kinds of things engineers there discuss and occasionally do.
I know because I was there. One intense ...

Never Again (Full)
Jeffrey Tambor, Jill Clayburgh
Universal Studios, 2003
Funny...Sad....Honest.....
I'm very glad I found this film. But I almost didn't watch it because of the terrible song that accompanies the opening titles - a song that is totally out of synch with the style and mood of the rest of the film. And what a wonderful film it is. My wife and I have ...

Semi-Tough
Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson
MGM (Video & DVD), 1992
Don't Miss
First off, the movie is different from the Dan Jenkins novel. It is far more textured and layered. The send-up of Est training is hilarious. This is not so much a movie about football as it is a love story with a strong subtext satirizing self-help movements ...
