Roddy McDowall

Frank Campanella, Ed Cree

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

opposites attract
The word classic is used way too often, especially when it comes to films and books. However "Overboard" is as close to a modern-day classic as any movie has ever gotten. It's like all the suns were aligned to make the perfect movie. It has a great script, an excellent ...

Poseidon Adventure

Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine

20th Century Fox, 1992

my way to honor in the New Year
Every New Years's Eve, I watch this film to remind me that "life does matter very much", a very profound line spoken by Reverend Scott. I also like to be reminded that in a crisis, if a group pulls together, more than likely there will be a desirable outcome.

Bedknobs & Broomsticks

Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
My husband and I had been looking for this movie for quite some time and couldn't believe that we actually found this on Amazon.com. We were so excited and couldn't wait to share this with our entire family. Our grandchildren thought this was just absolutely awesome.

Midnight Lace

Doris Day, Rex Harrison

Universal Studios, 1996

Where's the DVD...?
Think what you want, Doris Day was a fine actress. This has to be one of her best. She did drama as well as comedy (remember "The Man Who Knew Too Much"? Hitchcock loved blondes...) This is a clever film, with a terrific cast (and also John Gavin, so nice to look ...

Fright Night Part 2

Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale

Lions Gate/Live Home Video, 1992

Great movie! But what the hell was Artisan thinking of for the DVD?
First of all, both the Fright Night flicks are among some of the best vampire movies I have ever seen. They both rank up there with Salem's Lot, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, and many others. The only problem with Fright Night 2 is the DVD release by Artisan. ...

A Bug's Life

Phyllis Diller, Dave Foley

Walt Disney Home Video, 1999

Will there be a ten year anniversary addition coming?
A Bug's Life has always been one of my favorite Pixar Animations and worthy of owning in my DVD library. This movie was first released in theaters in November of 1998. Disney needs to release a 10 year Anniversary Addition DVD of "A Bug's Life" but I don't see ...

Alice Through Looking Glass

Natalie Gregory, Sheila Allen

Warner Home Video, 1995

Highly Recommend!
I was 4 years old the first time I saw this version of Alice's classic when it premiered in 1985. To this day this is by far the best version I have ever seen, and believe me I've seen almost every other version out there. It's all star cast paints a wild and ...

Grass Harp

Joe Don Baker, Bonnie Bartlett

New Line Home Video, 1998

Lovely performances and interesting casting
I adore this movie. I saw it quite awhile ago, so I can't give many specifics, but you can read the other reviews for commentary on the performances. An ensemble cast rather than a real star turn for anyone, with the exception of Piper Laurie. Laurie is always ...

Scavenger Hunt

Richard Benjamin, James Coco

Fox Home Entertainment, 2002

Maybe it will be next?
Well . . . . They FINALLY released "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?". With any luck this classic will be next!!!!!!

Inside Daisy Clover

Natalie Wood, Christopher Plummer

Warner Home Video, 1993

"You're not Myrna Loy!"
I LOVE this movie. What I want to know is, do people still buy VHS tapes?? Why in the world this film is not on DVD is beyond me. My favorite part is the promotional short Daisy did for Swan studios where she dances and sings in outer space; beautiful cinematography ...

Alice in Wonderland & Alice Through (2pc)

Natalie Gregory, Sheila Allen

Warner Home Video, 2001

Highly Recommend!
I was 4 years old the first time I saw this version of Alice's classic when it premiered in 1985. To this day this is by far the best version I have ever seen, and believe me I've seen almost every other version out there. It's all star cast paints a wild and ...

Alice in Wonderland

Cleopatra (Special Edition)

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2001

Campy Cleopatra
"Cleopatra" was the overhyped spectacle of the early '60s that nearly brought 20th Century FOX to its knees. There was the offscreen love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton (both married to other people) that overshadowed the movie. It's got cheesy ...

Shakma

Christopher Atkins, Amanda Wyss

The Worlds Angriest Primate!!!!
St Augustine Spring Break of 1993, 7 girls 5 seniors and 2 sophomores in a condominium beachside. I go to rent a movie and go right for the horror section. I see a cover with a crazed Baboon with red eyes on it,"Shakma", and I just felt compelled to grab it. We all ...

White Seal

Roddy McDowall, June Foray

Family Home Ent, 1999

I remember the title now!!
Okay, I've seen this movie like when I was less than 5 years old, but because I have a photographic visual memory I could remember every graphical artistic details of this movie! I remember specifically the beginning of this movie where the seals fight for their lives ...
