John Hurt

Jodi Benson, Gino Conforti

Warner Home Video, 1994

Perfect movie for your little princess
This is my 4-year-old princess-loving daughter's absolute favorite movie. She wants to watch it over and over again. Unlike most of the Disney movies, nothing in this movie scared her. My 2-year-old daughter also enjoys this movie very much!

The Black Cauldron (Disney's Masterpiece)

Grant Bardsley, Susan Sheridan

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

Disney Classic not necessarily for kids
I originally saw this in theaters as a kid and hadn't really seen it since, except once in a great while in the last several years. At the time I didn't realize it was based on a series of books, but its still a good movie. However I must point out that it is not for ...

Alien (20th Anniversary Widescreen Edition)

Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver

20th Century Fox, 1997

ONE OF THE BEST SCI-FI FILMS EVER MADE
I decided to buy this movie because I've read many reviews saying it was a great sci-fi/horror film and after seeing it, I truly believe it is. I personally did not find it as scary as some claim it to be, but very intense. As for the "director's cut dvd ", it is far ...

The Elephant Man

Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt

Paramount, 1999

Pure and honest; a film that will never leave you...
It's hard for me to formulate with mere words the impact this film has had on me. `The Elephant Man' is so much more than a weepy drama about injustice, but in the end it becomes an overwhelming testament to the rarity of genuine kindness, and this is what serves as ...

White Mischief

Greta Scacchi, Charles Dance

Embassy/Nelson Ent. - O.B., 1990

Social Rot, African Style
Seldom has social rot been more beautifully photographed than here. It's 1940. Bombs are raining down on London, soldiers are dying across Europe, Hitler is on the rise, yet not a drop of alcohol is being spilled by the rich and idle colonialists of British east ...

1984

John Hurt, Richard Burton

Polygram Video, 1997

"All of the confessions here are true, Winston..."
If there was any one single book I would peg for being inaccessible to a successful film adaptation, it would be George Orwell's "1984". How could any director bring to life Orwell's cautionary, almost unbearably nightmarish literary dystopia to the screen without ...

Spaceballs

Leslie Bevis, JM J. Bullock

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

A comedy classic!
In a galaxy not so far away, a ruthless race of beings called "Spaceballs" with their leaders President Scroob (Mel Brooks) and wicked little runt Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) have come up with a diabolical plan to take all the fresh air away from Planet Druidia. A ...

The Field

Richard Harris, Sean Bean

Live / Artisan, 1993

Love this movie and story
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and mine runs deep with this film. A long time fan of Richard Harris I feel his role in the movie was extraordinarily well performed. I found myself siding with McCabe. Seeing his dirty hands that worked the land, toiled over ...

Time of Destiny

William Hurt, Timothy Hutton

Embassy/Nelson Ent. - O.B., 1992

Demonstrates Many Aspects Of Superior Filmmaking.
Appropriate attention to detail is characteristic of this powerful, well-cast, and well-made melodrama with the action pivoting about a San Diego based Spanish Basque family, skillfully directed by Basque Mexican Gregory Nava and featuring effectual contributions from ...

Tuck Everlasting (2002)

Alexis Bledel, William Hurt

Walt Disney Home Video, 2003

A family discovery for a single man teacher
As a substitute teacher in a middle school English class, I was left this movie to show the class. I knew nothing about it, but I got caught up in its innocent (but never simple-minded) charms. I had to stay late after school to see how it ended! I did not know that ...

Scandal (Widescreen Edition)

John Hurt, Joanne Whalley

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

Scandal: reporting what people want to be true
Scandal was released in 1989. It was directed by Michael Caton-Jones, written by Michael Thomas and stars John Hurt as Stephen Ward, Joanne Whalley as Christine Keeler, Bridget Fonda as Mandy Rice-Davies and Ian McKellen as John Profumo, four characters who embarrassed ...

A Man for All Seasons

Paul Scofield, Wendy Hiller

Sony Pictures, 1994

Do not rent this movie, OWN it.
This Academy Award winning movie is a miracle. Fred Zinnemann's cinematic treatment of the play by Robert Bolt has a quality of luminous economy. The casting is amazing. Every member of the cast is just right, from Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More and Dame Wendy ...

Rob Roy (1995)

Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A great story
I love this movie and Liam Neeson could not have been a better Rob Roy. It is the story that makes you smile and makes you cry and is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. The love Rob Roy had for his family and his countrymen, amazing

The Village

Jayne Atkinson, Adrien Brody

Touchstone / Disney, 2005

AMAZING. DONT LIE!
Wow so many people that rate this movie are dumb and have no vision for a good movie! This movie is so damn good! Between the writing, the acting and the music which is so angelic, this is one of my favorite films ever! I hear so many people say they thought this movie ...
