Peter Ustinov

Victor Brooks, Robert Brown

A Classic that many people have never seen
This is Terence Stamp's best performance, and one of his earliest. This is one of those rare movies that stands the test of time. It is well written, directed, acted, etc. Billy Budd, along with Mutiny On The Bounty, are the two most authentic movies ever ...

Jesus of Nazareth (3pc)

Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft

Live / Artisan, 1995

Brilliant
Very nice interpretation of the story of Christ's life. The blue eyes of actor Robert Powell is bright, dense and expresses both compassion and suffering borne by the Passion that contributes to the brightness of this beautiful film. "Jesus of Nazareth" has ...

The Egyptian

Jean Simmons, Victor Mature

20th Century Fox, 1995

Must Be Seen on DVD
Just Like "The Robe" and "Demetrius and the Gladiators" any trillogy of the actor Victor Mature must include on DVD this masterpiece of Hollywood Cinematography of the 1950's. This movie sets, have the most acurate reproduction of Egyptian pieces ever created from ...

Quo Vadis

Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr

MGM/UA Home Video, 1986

Quo Vadis is a great epic film! (was never a widescreen movie)
Quo Vadis was released in 1951 which is two years before the advent of CinemaScope and other widescreen formats of 1953. Quo vadis was released in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1, so do not look for a widescreen version on DVD. The movie is an epic in the true sense of the ...

Last Remake of Beau Geste

Ann-Margret, Philip Bollard

Universal Studios, 1992

Probably the Funniest Foreign Legion Film..........EVER
I wish they'd do this one on DVD, because MArty takes the classic Legion Etrangre film (Gary Cooper 1939) and trashes it the way Mel Brooks did "Blazing Saddles" on the Western Genre..... Marty Feldman is a fogotten comic in the vein of Laurel and Hardy or Buster ...

Robin Hood (A Walt Disney Masterpiece)

Brian Bedford, Phil Harris

Walt Disney Home Video, 1993

Listen to Peter Ustinov!
My kids and I find the movie very entertaining and charming -- 3-year-old Martin wants this movie and only this movie no matter the myriad alternatives we offer. I remember growing up with the soundtrack playing all the time on LP, so I have a fond place in my heart ...

Animal Farm (1999)

Kelsey Grammer, Ian Holm

Hallmark, 2000

Animal Farm
My ninth grade students are required to read Animal Farm. This was a great movie to show upon completion of the book. They enjoyed pointing out the subtle differences (there weren't that many) between the movie and the book. TNT has a website that accompanies the ...

Quo Vadis (1951)

Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

Quo Vadis is a great epic film! (was never a widescreen movie)

Luther (2003)

Joseph Fiennes, Jonathan Firth

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Excellent Historically
A well presented (and acted) view of the issues at hand at the time of Luther with his discovery and stand for faith for justification versus indulgences and works of the law

Lorenzo's Oil

Nick Nolte, Susan Sarandon

Universal Studios, 1994

Lorenzo Odone, who doctors had predicted would die in childhood, died one day after his 30th birthday
May 31, 2008. From the Associated Press: WASHINGTON (AP) - The man whose parents' battle to save him from a nerve disease was depicted in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil" died Friday at his home in Virginia, having lived more than 20 years longer than doctors had ...

One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing

Joss Ackland, Amanda Barrie

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

Great Movie
When do we get this in a region 1 DVD? So many other movies have come out on DVD that are out on VHS. Has anyone else been waiting for this movie?

The Great Muppet Caper

Charles Grodin, John Cleese

Jim Henson Video/Buena Vista, 1994

The most fun of the series.
The Great Muppet Caper is the sequel to The Muppet Movie, although it is not as perfect as the original, this one is defintely a surprise treat. What I like about this particular movie is how fun and silly it is. Miss Piggy really runs the show in this one, and all ...

Beau Brummell

Stewart Granger, Elizabeth Taylor

MGM (Warner), 1998

A heartfelt tour de force!
Lavish British production that included a very impressive cast: the accurate profile of Stewart Granger, the always beautiful Elizabeth Taylor and the hesitating future George IV starred by Peter Ustinov. An everlasting picture to watch and enjoy it over and over ...

Old Curiosity Shop

Brian de Salvo, Doreen Keogh

Hallmark, 1996

Outstanding
This is another outstanding movie version of a Charles Dickens classic. It's shows that life is full of tragedy as well as joy. Very well acted, and produced. Highly recommended!
