Meryl Streep

Alan Alda, Barbara Harris

Universal Studios, 2000

Best Political Film Ever
This is the best political film ever made. Other films distort, simplify or just plain get wrong what federal politics is like at the highest levels. As one who used to work in the White House, I can tell you that this is the only film that understands and reveals ...

Ironweed

Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep

Vestron Video, 1994

Perfect screen adaption of a classic book
I saw this movie on cable many years ago and did not get it. Fast foward to about ten years later and I discovered William Kennedys "Albany Trio" at the library. When I finally got to the last of the trio tales I read "Ironweed" in one day and then went out and rented ...

Still of the Night

Roy Scheider, Meryl Streep

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

Intelligent, mesmerizing mystery
I saw this several years ago and noticed it was on a late movie recently. This time I was more struck by the quality of the work than the first time. It seems that almost every aspect of this film reeks with elegance and subtlety. First of all, Meryl Streep is great. ...

Defending Your Life

Wil Albert, Sage Allen

Warner Home Video, 1999

Brooks' Best
In my opinion, this is Albert Brooks best movie. It offers a whole new slant on death and a lot of healthy laughter.

Century of Women Collection

Jane Fonda, Justine Bateman

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

A Century of Women, Sexuality
This is an amazing video and should be shown to any class learning about reproduction, and or womens rights. It is an essential part of American history.

Iluvshpping
The DVD arrived within the week of ordering on line . My husband & I love this movie we watched it together at home thirteen years ago, when we started dating and had a hard time finding it at our local stores so we looked on amazon.com and found it.

The House of the Spirits

Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons

Live / Artisan, 2001

AN OUTSTANDING FAMILY SAGA...
I love this movie! It has a stellar cast, who give top notch performances. How can you go wrong with Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Antonio Banderas, Winona Ryder, Vanessa Redgrave, and Armin Muehler-Stahl? The answer is that you can't. It is a riveting piece ...

Holocaust (The Mini-Series)

Meryl Streep, Michael Moriarty

Goodtimes Home Video, 1991

THE HOLOCAUST
I watched this on network tv when it premiered. It's even harder to watch it today. With twenty years of ethnic cleansings, and smaller holocausts under our belts, one of the major themes of the story holds even truer. If we aren't very very careful any of us can ...

The Deer Hunter

Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1992

One shot
1978's " The Deer Hunter " is pure character driven drama fueld by explosive and unforgettable scenes of turmoil , isolation , destruction , and hope. Michael Cimino's formula of providing the characters room for development ( or lack thereof ) ensures that each person ...

Dancing at Lughnasa

Lovely period piece of Ireland
"Dancing at Lughnasa" meanders winningly through a summer in 1936 in Donnegal, Ireland. It's a child's memory of the summer -- with four aunts, an uncle, his unmarried mother,a free spirit father and, always present, the magnificent green countryside of Ireland. A ...

Plenty (1985)

Meryl Streep, Charles Dance

Republic Pictures, 1998

A Mackerel Sky
Meryl Streep gives a heartbreaking performance in this deeply affecting and brilliant film about a woman trapped forever in the past. Susan Traherne might appear on paper to be a selfish and unlikable woman, but Streep somehow manages to let the audience see her inner ...

Death Becomes Her

Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis

Universal Studios, 1996

A black comedy sure to brighten your day...
My best friend's wife told me about this movie a couple months ago, but it wasn't until the other night that I had a chance to sit down and watch it. I don't know why it took so long for me to actually do since I absolutely adore all three of the films stars. Bruce ...

Julia

Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave

20th Century Fox, 1993

Amazing motion picture!
Julia is simply a perfect movie. Jane Fonda's performance is one of her very best. And Fred Zinnemann's direction is flawless. Alvin Sargent's screenplay movements between past and present and from present to future are so smooth and fascinating. Just a brilliant ...

Alice at the Palace (Broadway Theatre Archive)

Meryl Streep, Betty Aberlin

Kultur Video, 2002

"I suppose this is a regular day if you're mad."
Produced by Joseph Papp and directed by Emile Ardolino, this Palace Theater/vaudeville version of Alice in Wonderland, filmed in 1981, is so energetic, so beautifully choreographed (by Graciela Daniele), and so full of fun that when I finished watching it, I ...
